Forums - Sony - Will ICO And Colossus Receive The High-Def PS3 Treatment?

With the advent of the God of War Collection, which features two PS2 classics remastered in beautiful high-definition, other developers and publishers are starting to toy with this idea.

And from where we're standing, Team ICO should definitely consider giving their two PS2 classics - ICO and Shadow of the Colossus - the high-def next-gen treatment. We're talking about two of the most artistically accomplished titles of the last generation; not to mention two of the most critically acclaimed and widely beloved games in history. So of course, we were excited to hear Team ICO boss Fumito Ueda tell 1Up that he's on our side. Yep, he'd love to see his projects end up on the PS3 with full HD and Trophy support:

"I always thought they were designed for PS2 and should stay there. But lately, I’ve been thinking it would be nice to provide the games to other platforms to reach more users."

So long as he's considering it, we're happy. However, it appears that Ueda and Co. would need the support of Sony...probably the same executives who gave the green light to the aforementioned collection. But do you remember Sony asking gamers how they might respond to such a product earlier this year? Well, the overwhelmingly positive response likely gave Sony all the feedback they needed, so while the final decision may rest with Sony, it's up to you to talk this up a bit. Request it from every corner of the Internet; start up a petition, whatever you need to do to get their attention. Team ICO is willing, so let's tell 'em it's a damn good idea!

okay, this is far from a confirmation but as i never had a ps2 i really really really hope this comes true!

Here's hoping anyway as i have been dying to play Ico and SOTC is always worth another play through



It should!

It's a good way to make money while simultaneously growing anticipation for The Last Guardian

The only negative would be it might alienate some(small amount) consumers who wanted PS2 BC but have to buy complain that they need to buy a new copy of the game to play it on the PS3



If baby jesus loves me this will happen.

What other publishers are starting to toy with this idea? Don't get me wrong, I realize GOW did not invent the graphically improved remake, but what publisher has toyed with the idea since Sony's announcement?

The odds seem to be increasing - saw an article indicating a meeting would take place about it soon.

Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Yesssss. I would buy it as a collectible. I wouldnt bother to play Shadow of the Colossus though because I accidentally saw a spoiler about the horse falling into the abyss. :/



Would like to play ICO again. Quite a nice game. Played SOTC on my brothers PS2 and well I think it's overrated.



you should get a ps2 as of now. >.>
