Project Trico

[Biggie]

Looks like a trailer from the new project from the Ico team leaked.

Seems almost like a mix between both previous games.

I was kind of hoping for a multiplayer SotC, but I'm really excited for this game.

I'm loving the design of that creature. It's more gentle looking than what other games might normally do.

[d2king10]

damn that looked good.

[SirTMagus]

I'm loving the design of that creature.
Opposite for me.


:\

[Perversion]

Yeah...that cat/rat/bird/reptile/whatever thing made me o_O.

[Goufunaki]

Bah! :p

[Valkysas]

real title - "Beakcat and me"

you just know they're gonna get you attached to it, and it's gonna die at the end.

[RPGD]

Tim you are silly. It's adorable.

Everyone should have one of those.

Be a nice twist if they had you controlling the Beakcat instead of the kid.

Then they could just kill off the little boy. :happy

I think many people already do!

We waited 3 years for this?

They went from little boy leading around an older girl, to an older boy with a horse, to a kid and a giant ratcat...Whyyy cant you make an actual sequel for once, team ICO! I beg of you! But seriously, what kinda battles will this game have?

[d2king10]

Yes, we waited 3 years and I think it looks impressive. It has already captivated me with just a trailer, as it did with many others.

We already know that Team ICO games are either a hate or love type of deal, and I am fairly confident that they will deliver an artistic masterpieces again.

SotC is the canon prequel to Ico. Who knows where this fits in but I guarantee it's connected to the story in some way.

As far as combat, I couldn't care less. Their games are about the adventure, not the battles. Even fighting the collosi felt more like navigating a puzzle than actually "fighting" something.

And remember when someone in the E3 topic said "what happened to the surprises?" and I said "the internet."

Yeah, that still stands.

edit: the monster has horns.

also, this video is ancient. Like, 2 years old. Team Ico leaked their next project's screenshot (which was the intro to the trailer) around the time the ps3 was released. The game will probably look way better than this.

[salamander]

I know SotC is the spiritual prequel to Ico, but I'm talkin about a sequel as in Final Fantasy X-Final Fantasy X-2...

Okay maybe that wasn't the best choice for a sequel but you get what I mean.
If there really aren't any battles or antagonists in Trico, then I really hope the puzzles and exploration can hold the game up all on it's own.

Yup. Exactly what I was thinking. Those "knights" or whatever that were plugging arrows into it are going to find out a way to kill it.

I'd be awsome if it wasn't so cliche'.

[Biggie]

Yeah, okay Red Dragon, a game about a kid and a cat dog bird is cliche.

[Red Dragon]

It's about a kid and his pet monster, having a grand adventure. You get attached to the loveable giant thing of destruction.

Then the monster dies.

That's what I was saying was cliche.

But they always find a way to come back in the end.

Anyways, keep in mind that Team Ico's pitches are always different from the final product. Ico was originally a ps1 game with exploding knights and a horned Yorda. Remember Nico because SotC was announced?

If anything, "Trico" is just a tech demo they created in 2006 (which is when the first screenshot got linked) to show Sony that a new project was worth funding. I doubt the final product will look anything like this.

Hell, the demo for Ico was ridiculously different than the final product.

I'd be awsome if it wasn't so cliche'.

Your awesomeness shouldn't be called into question in reference to this game.

[highwind]

I don't mind the creature but I HATE the way the kid looks. So cartoony.

I hope Marcus is right and the final product looks different.
