Quote:Famitsu.com has a bit of info about it. To sum it up, it's not a sequel - they just used their experience and technology in this game. It's an action game where you have to fight the huge statues (there's a lot of them). Your only friend is the horse and the girl you must look after is very important to you, though it is not explained by the story in game. The main character, the girl and the horse are the only living things on earth.

Game-wise, you have to "catch" the giant and climb onto it. You have to find its weak points and attack them, but the surface of the giant can be maze-like, so the game is part action, part puzzle.

Quote:My new most-anticipated game! I want this even more than the new GC Zelda.

Quote:Kaido : it starts with a young hero who leaves on a journey on his horse. He manages to join the Old Earth, located at the end of the world. this place disappeared from the world. our hero carries in his arms a girl, who seems to have lost her heart. Then, in order to ressuscite the girl, the hero decide to go and face the Colossus (several, I don't know if I'm clear enough) which live on this Earth."

Ueda : "the Old Earth is a sealed place, and there are all kind of landscapes such as old ruins, deserts, vast plains, etc... The hero will travel there, searching for the Colossus. Only the hero, the girl and the horse will be present on the Old Earth. Your horse will be your partner, and will also help you during some fights. The girl seems to be importent for the hero, however we will probably not learn more during the game. I think that as for ICO, much of the elements will be left to the imagination of the player."

Quote:Q: Will there be a sequel?
UEDA:Yes but not at this point in time maybe 2-3 years down the road, but I'd like to create a game that shares the same kind of atmosphere and concept. I'm actually in the midst of preparing another game at the moment, but I cant really talk about it yet.

Quote:Btw, that game where you roll around and collect a huge ball of junk is coming out in just a few weeks, I think.

Quote:Oh and you're referring to Katamari Damacy. That's gonna be so cool.

Quote:You better!

Quote:You get a sword later.

Quote:Did you wait through the credits?

Quote:And did you get who those shadow creatures were? Once I realized that and who I had "killed" I felt really bad, something you never feel in games.

Quote:And yeah that part where you are separated from Yorda is intense. Not only because of the lack of save points but because you really want to see what happened to her. No other game has been able to create such a connection between your character and an NPC.
