Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favorite games of all time.
Wow Brad doesnt even realise what the pink circle is for ....

Posted by AngelN7 - August 25, 2011 at 9:02 AM

The didn´t even need to do HD on Shadow of the Collosus that game looks gorgeous F´d graphics whores

Posted by RareMonkey - August 25, 2011 at 9:02 AM

they had to re-do assets in this right? since the Ico didn't even support 480p.

Posted by RobotHamster - August 25, 2011 at 9:04 AM

Can not wait for this to come out!!!!!!

Edited by wolf_blitzer85 - August 25, 2011 at 9:04 AM

SotC at a stable frame-rate just sounds divine.

Also, grip meter Brad.

Posted by Swoxx - August 25, 2011 at 9:04 AM

Yeees! Been looking forward for this

Posted by msavo - August 25, 2011 at 9:05 AM

This looks amazing. So glad I pre-ordered this collection. Is it weird my most anticipated game this year is this, a couple of games that came out years ago on PS2?

Edited by AllanIceman - August 25, 2011 at 9:08 AM

I might get this. Just to play them again.

Edit: LoL, at Brad not remembering the pink circle is your grip strength for SoC.

Posted by smitty86 - August 25, 2011 at 9:14 AM

Everyone needs to buy this game. No excuses.

Posted by ProfessorEss - August 25, 2011 at 9:15 AM

Man I can't wait to get this. More for Shadows but they're both good.
I was one of those people that didn't beat SotC because it's technical issues combined with a dying PS2 were too much of a pain in the ass.

Posted by CaLe - August 25, 2011 at 9:16 AM

I'm going to download this one and watch it later in the nude, thanks.

Posted by DrMadHatten - August 25, 2011 at 9:16 AM

I bought a PS2 just to have Shadows. Will I do it again? UGH!

Edited by damswedon - August 25, 2011 at 9:17 AM

@AngelN7: But now we can play it with a frame rate that isn't as unstable as my one legged aunt drunk on a ship at sea during a Category 5 hurricane.

Posted by damswedon - August 25, 2011 at 9:18 AM

My biggest gaming regret was trading my launch copy of Ico for WWF Smackdown: Just bring it.

Posted by Knopper7 - August 25, 2011 at 9:19 AM

Brad is useless. Complaining about falling without recognizing the "hold" meter is slowly draining and that is why he keeps getting bucked off.

Posted by SecondPersonShooter - August 25, 2011 at 9:19 AM

Playing SotC at a stable framerate must be fucking surreal

Posted by Mr402 - August 25, 2011 at 9:19 AM

35 and have never played ICO or SotC that will change with this release.

Posted by buckybit - August 25, 2011 at 9:20 AM

even if you don't have a PS2 or PS3 - you have to have these games. you really do...

Posted by Garfy - August 25, 2011 at 9:20 AM

I always pronounced it EYE-co

Brad, you are making me VERY ANGRY.

Posted by louiedog - August 25, 2011 at 9:24 AM

I didn't own a PS2 and my first PS3 is on its way. This pack is one of the things I'm most looking forward to playing on it. Also, where's that Uncharted collection? I thought it was supposed to be out last month. I think it was released in Europe, but not in the US yet.

I think that tops my trading blunder when I traded No More Heroes 2 Desperate Struggle for Socom Confrontation. Luckily I grabbed it again for $10.

i know how you feel.

Posted by smiddy - August 25, 2011 at 9:26 AM

Until I heard someone else says it, I always thought it was pronounced eye-co and that's still how I read it.

Posted by Sarumarine - August 25, 2011 at 9:26 AM

The level design in ICO was fucking fantastic. I love seeing places I'm eventually going to visit much later. Jumping around on gears and such was great.

However, Yorda is as dumb as a bag of hammers. It's hard to care about her when she's such a useless load that causes the majority of the problems with the game. ICO is a pretty good case to prove that you can't make the Escort Mission an entire game without dragging things down.

Shadow of the Colossus is awesome though. I love climbing on all those things.

Posted by Ben99 - August 25, 2011 at 9:26 AM

Never played both and looking forward to get them

Posted by Jeust - August 25, 2011 at 9:27 AM

I find them also quite boring.

Posted by Seroth - August 25, 2011 at 9:29 AM

Never played Ico, but I couldn't stand Shadow of the Colossus on the PS2 due to the framerate. This looks great, though...too bad I don't have a PS3!

Posted by ItBeStefYo - August 25, 2011 at 9:31 AM

Haha, Brad living up to his name.

Edited by deadmoscow - August 25, 2011 at 9:31 AM

These are, in my opinion, two of the best games ever made. Been waiting for this collection for a long time now.

Edit: Also good lord that pink circle is your stamina Brad, agghghghgh that's why you keep falling off haha

Posted by HydraHam - August 25, 2011 at 9:32 AM

Never got into the ico/shadow games, tried twice and to be completely honest i found ico to be incredibly boring, i could play shadow because of the piss poor performance, i heard they fixed it in the HD collection so maybe ill give it another go.

Posted by JediAutobot - August 25, 2011 at 9:34 AM

So happy about this Quick Look! Can't wait for this to come out! Man, I loved Ico from the moment I played it on the PS2 demo disc. First PS2 game I owned.

Posted by AngelN7 - August 25, 2011 at 9:35 AM

Did really Shadow of the Collosus had bad framerate? I can´t remember sure when the bosses hit the flor and did some stuff on the ground other than that I didn´t notice anything exagerated , people like to blown up stuff

Posted by rosebud04 - August 25, 2011 at 9:35 AM

BRAD.....Grip Meter.......GODAMMIT!

Posted by KennyIsMe93 - August 25, 2011 at 9:35 AM

Brad, for the love of Christ, the pink circle indicates how long you can hold on before your guy loses his grip. How do you not remember that?

It was horribly inconsistent. Probably ran 15-20 fps in a lot of situations. I remember being fine when I played it, but goddamn was it sluggish.

Posted by Volgin13 - August 25, 2011 at 9:38 AM

AGGRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Mikular - August 25, 2011 at 9:40 AM

God DAMN, watching him fight that Colossus was the worst. "Why did you let go?"

Posted by Towers - August 25, 2011 at 9:40 AM

The red circle Brad! THE RED CIRCLE!

Once it's shrunk all the way down you lose your grip!

Posted by laxcat - August 25, 2011 at 9:40 AM

Grip meter! Grip meter! Brad you're remembering all the wrong things...

Man, that was frustrating.
