    The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection

    Game » consists of 3 releases. Released Sep 27, 2011

    A re-release of two classic Team Ico games that feature HD graphics & stereoscopic 3D support. Features originally found only in the Japanese and PAL versions of the games (co-op play in Ico, for example) are included in the North American release for the first time.

    Who's going to pony up for Ico/Shadow of the Colossus?

    So tomorrow (at least in the US), the Ico/Shadow of the Colossus HD collection will be released, and I'll be picking it up. I'm very excited to run through SotC and play Ico for the first time. At least for a few days... then the BF3 beta will eat my soul.

    Anyone else picking it up?

    Once the price drops.  Or if I can get Colossus separate on PSN tomorrow.  Ico is a good game, but I just don't feel like playing it again.

    I already completed all the time trials and hard time trials on Shadow of the Colossus. Unless I can somehow get Ico separately then I'm going to pass.

    I plan on picking it up, but I don't know if I'm going to be getting it right away.  I'm still working on getting a platinum in Ghost of Sparta, and then there's the Battlefield beta, and then there's Dark Souls, and then there's Rage, and then there's Arkham City, and then there's Battlefield 3, and then there's Uncharted 3, and then there's FUCKING SKYRIM!!!!!!
     
    But yeah, I'll probably play it.

    Right here! I missed Ico but I loved the hell out of Shadow of the Colossus. Since the Quick Looks, I am soooooo looking forward to play Shadow of the Colossus in perfect smooth frame rate! Glad I'm not the only one! lol

    Definitely picking it up. They're definitely two of my favourites, and I'm looking forward to playing them in HD.

    Most likely will purchase this collection, but mostly for Shadow of the Colossus because Ico's gameplay (ie reliance on a.i. character yorda) seems like it would be too frustrating to suffer through. I'd rather spend time playing other games I already own/still need to finish.

    According Amazon, it's on it's way to my house for delivery tomorrow. I wanted to make sure I was done with Gears of War 3 this weekend so I focus on it.

    I'm thinking I got a $20 off card at K-mart.
    so I can get Ico and Shadow for $20 or I can get Shadows of the damned and hunted the demon's forge for $20.
    two games I have played or two games I have not.

    I never got more than a tiny bit into either of them so yes. I have a huge backlog, so it'll probably be months from now, but I'll get it.

    Not a bad idea. I sometimes feel bad asking my brother or parents for a 60 dollar game for Christmas, so this one would make a good gift if I can wait that long.

    You just reminded me of how much there is and how little time I have :(

    Though I can scratch ps3 games off my list since Sony is a joke, so it's kind of a plus!

    I already preordered it on Amazon. I never played Ico so I can't wait to give that a try, and HD Shadow of the Colossus is definitely something I want in my library.

    I pre-ordered it from Newegg when they had that $10 off coupon. I've never played either game, so I'm really looking forward to it.

    I want (and planned) to buy it day one but.......time. Not enough of it with other games to finish, school, and future internship. Hopefully if I wait til December, I can get it for $20 and enjoy the shit out of it over the holidays. But I may end up breaking when I see it in Best Buy tomorrow.

    My copy from Amazon should show up any second now. I've played through Ico at least 3 times, but it's been a few years since I popped in Shadow. Kind of looking forward to playing that at a steady framerate, but I kind of liked how unstable it was on PS2. You get the feeling that these colossi are so big that they are literally breaking the game.

    If I owned a PS3, I'd definately get this package. Might be worth buying a couple copies irregardless, as the price should skyrocket over the coming years.

    To anyone who's considering buying the collection, I can't recommend it enough. I got my copy yesterday and to see how well SotC plays and holds up even after all these years is fucking astounding. The bonus features are pretty awesome too, with a longer peak at The Last Guardian (it looks gorgeous.) If you ask me, Ueda and co. are some of the most talented and creative devs out there.

    I adore Shadow. And have yet to play Ico. But honestly, I think I'm going to wait for a price drop. Too many great games coming out in the next two months. And then there's the upcoming Steam sales Fall/Winter madness.

    Picked it up on the 27th. Glad I did, still a great atmospheric experience for both games. Though I did get it primarily for 60fps on SotC;)
