Puzzle adventure games aren't very well suited to you tube viewing. You'll get an idea what it looks like and maybe bits of the story, yet the emtional connection and internal struggle of the characters, ie the magic of the games, will be lost. That's probably also why the reactions to the trailer are quite different from those that have played and enjoyed ICO and SotC to those that see it out of context.

This is one case where the lack of BC really hurts. The HD collection is awesome, yet only available on ps3 :(
I would buy it again in a heartbeat for ps4, yet I doubt Sony is willing to risk the backlash for another remaster.

Well, watched those two games, and I think I am going to like TLG. Really like the puzzle platforming stuff I saw, reminds me a bit of old Tomb Raiders that I love. 

I'm looking forward to TLG much more now after watching some of the videos. 

(And from my limited exposure, I like ICO more).

Same, ICO sits at #3 in my top 10 games of all time, SotC at #5 with Grim Fandango in between.
They're both awesome. The boss fights in SotC are still unmatched. What would be cut scenes in other games simply happens while you play the game. For example ducking under a structure, then the giant bends down to peer under it. Gave me chills the first time that happened.
I'm very much still looking forward to TLG, a combination of two all time favorites from a director that won't compromise his ideas.

Now indeed, a classic Tombraider reboot would be great too.
