I don't think that is a good enough reason, honestly. I also have a bit of a doubt it will sell consoles like others claim, but  we'll have to see.

agreed on it most likely not being a console seller, but I think it can sell console to a very specific audience. 

 

disagreed on saying it being from Team Ico is not enough reason for ppl to excited about it. I think that plays a very big part in its appeal.

I def think it will sell well to a specific audience too. It is a game many people have been waiting a long time for it, and are really glad to see it finally coming out.

I would like to know what it is people are so excited about TLG. Is it something people are expecting there to be since it is from Team Ico? What are are people expecting?

 

I suppose that can only be answerd if you have played the games.

Ico and SotC are both very unique experiences. While there have been similar games to Ico, I dont think any game blends the elements of both these games, hence their uniqueness.

Another very powerful draw of Team Ico games is lore. Ico and SotC are not connected directly, but the deeper you look into what happens in the story (as minimalistic as they can be) and the actual enviornment ques, you realise that in just 2 very self-contained games, that a much larger world exists.

I would say that plays a large appeal in Team Ico's games, much like how the MGS universe is expanded (albeit for different reasons).  ppl want to see how the lore expands, and how the game fits in with wit both Ico and SotC (even though everyone knows there will be nothing concrete) And, TLG looks like the algamation of both Ico and SoTC in terms of gameplay.

I doubt it will have mainstream appeal but that really depends on the marketting campaign for it. 

Haha, it does sound like I would need to play the previous games to get why people are looking forward to TLG. I guess I`ll need to get around to playing those some time.
