Team ICO

[MiracleOfSound]

Hmmm. I loved ICO, Shadow of the Colossus frustrated me and delighted me in equal measure, but I dunno... these new facial animations and cutesy monsters looks a little too close to FF territory for comfort...

Then again, this is Team Ico, and it will more than likely turn out to be a transcendal and spiritual experience.

Pretty excited about this. Not sure about the "Mysterious Cities of Gold" styling of the boy but loving the movement on the Chimera.

I'm sure this is going to surpass my expectations.

Expected release?

Ever seen a baby bird?
Ever seen a baby lion (which is a technically a cat)?

Apply those two images together, add in some Japanese artistic license, and you have a baby gryphon.

It's got little wings.. (bird)
And I'm not entirely sold on the 'rat' thing. For all we know it could be a lizard's tail.
But I'll concede you might be right on it being a chimera.

We can only wait and see.

Yep.

Are you sure thats a chimera?
It looks more like a baby Griffin to me...

Either way, it looks like you'll somehow be exploring those ruins with it's help, adding a sort of puzzle solving mechanic combined with babysitting and tons of emotion, just like we saw in Ico.

Like our beloved horse companion in Shadow of the Colossus.. just... bigger..

I was leaning toward griffin as well. If they have the same level of inovative gameplay that they created with SoC, I will definately try it.

But I have to admit, it looks like it is leaning toward a younger audience, what with the big thingy looking like a kitten and the boy looking like his testicles havn't dropped. Since I am much older than many of you, this is a negative for me.

Thats the great thing about fairy tales my friend...

They are TIMELESS-
... and that makes them accessible to everyone.. even at your age.
