1UP: There are a lot of parallels between Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Intentional, or just the result of working with the same creative forces.

Fumito Ueda: Ah yeah, that was deliberate. Whether the story is a continuation, or is Ico's story, we built a world to be able to contain both. We changed the title because the design is different. The worlds are linked but the title's changed, and it's a new game. It'll be a problem if people expect Ico. Yes. This is a difficult... Hmmm... this is difficult to answer, if we had a little more time we could answer it.

I believe that there will be local land marks and such that are viewable in ICO scattered around SoTC lands.

Who else is isolating themselves from the world when this comes out?

Re: Shadow of the Colossus

This game reminds me of The Neverending Story.

There, I said it.

Re: Shadow of the Colossus

It's been known that the games were connected in some way since the first screens were shown years ago.

Here they are.







The name Nico should be a dead giveaway too.

That was a demo video, the one they're giving out in special editions of the game in Japan.

Except for the hulking colossus.

Re: Shadow of the Colossus

That looks like an early version of the area you start on in the demo. You can see what looks like the castle and the big bridge in the background.

I am talking about design.

Shadow takes place in a land known as The End of The World. It is said to be cursed and humanity has abandoned it. There is no way that any locations from ICO will show up in it.

Why can't people accpet that the games are only tentativly conected. It's not like the worth of the game relies on it.

ICO X-2

Yorda is now a part of a pop-idol group but shadows are constantly threatening to make them cancel their concerts! She once again enlists the help of Ico in protecting her so she can finish her solo.

Not completely true, they have stated that SoTC WILL take place in the world that ICO was featured in. And yes, i am aware its the End of the World, but the doesnt prevent them from scattered easter eggs here and there.

Geez, no one can take a joke.

Re: Shadow of the Colossus

Yeah, I also read that. I don't know if it's true, but, yeah, I read it.
