Title: TRICO: New Team ICO Game
Post by: RPG on May 20, 2009, 03:55:49 am
An early trailer of Team ICO's next PlayStation 3 game was leaked today. It's called Trico for now, but that'll probably change just like how Shadow of the Colossus was originally named Nico. Anyway, here's the trailer (view it in youtube for HD version):


I think it looks interesting. Designer Fumito Ueda mentioned earlier that the game is similar to ICO, with elements from SotC, and it shows. Having liked both games, I'll probably like this one too. On the other hand, there's something disappointing about it. It could be how it looks too similar to the previous games, or how the kid's model looks bad. It's still a trailer, and the final product might be different; even if it weren't, it's more me having huge expectations for the new game and getting something that seems more incremental than revolutionary. That said, I'm looking forward to it. It's the reason I justify getting a PS3 for after all...

This looks great!

I never played Ico, but it's far different enough from SotC that from this trailer I am not disappointed.
I really love the aspect of working with characters you aren't able to control in video games, and this looks to be a lot of fun!

I agree though, that kid's model looks like Dora the Explora.

This game looks beautiful. Except for the kid. He looks completely different from everything else in the entire game.
Also, why does the trailer change mood entirely? It goes from "oh shit something evil is breaking free!!!" to "kid and his best fwend X3".

But yea it looks like the premise is "you are a child and your best friend is a bigass gryphon" and that is a really cool premise. Might play this on a friends PS3.

I'm sure the kid's model will be better in the final product. It's just wayyyyy too bad now. Otherwise it looks cool as hell and really beautiful.

I loved Shadow of the Colossus.  It was such a beautiful game. 

This looks really neat.  I like the monster thing a lot.  The little useless wings were really cute. 

It's kind of funny that, even though this is for the ps3, it doesn't look that much better than Shadow of the Colossus.  Probably because that game looked so good.

that flying hyena monkey is modeled really well, i thought.  i'm guessing this is going to be like blaster master where you ride around and pwn things with your vehicle but have to get out and fight on your own in those hard-to-reach places (for quest-important items).

Even then, I don't know what's wrong with you, but there's still a giant difference here!!


Also, I hope this game is all about bonding with your pet griffon and feeding it barrels.

And nothing else.

Oh man.  That would be the greatest game ever:

Keep your giant monster alive, or keep the children alive?  You can only choose one...

how much you wanna bet that big fuzzy thing dies at or near the end?

@DietCoke: 100 Bucks. Probably dies in a fight against another big fuzzy think Pokemon Style.

this game would be sweet if you only played as the animal jumping around on buildings and your kid ran around and did whatever

I just noticed the griffon is filled with arrows near the end of the video.
Guess there will be some fighting soldiers who misunderstand you...

Sounds like fun. I'll definitely be getting it, regardless of the pokemon feel of that video. When he's diving through the water all I could think of was that magic dragon from never ending story when the kid shouts its name or whatever. Buuut... I trust this company with my gaming more than most companies as far as delivering something new and fun / interesting. Plus I'm sure it'll be epic beautiful when they're done and fully rendered.

How does that video resemble pokemon? Wasn't that a gameboy rpg with different monsters you use to fight dragonwarrior style?

yes it was but he was probably talking about the cartoon or something and the general A BOY AND HIS PET vibe
Title: TRICO: New Team ICO Game
Post by: The Dude on May 22, 2009, 11:54:57 pm
yeah boy and his pet vibe. The fact the pet ends up with arrows in it, gives me the idea maybe you ride the dragonthing to fight. Pokemon, my loose term. <3

It's from some movie.  The song is really god damn annoying.  I had it in my mp3 playlist for a while, and every time it came on, I'd get pissed off and skip it.  I finally deleted it the other day.

Yea I cant help but mute the video, all in all I wonder how much action we can expect to see in this game, I doubt very much but anyways looks like a promising adventure/platforming hybrid.

This game actually looks kind of boring and I really liked SOTC, and kind of liked Ico even though I found it a little repetitive (which was true about SOTC but it was cool and short so who gives a fl-p). It seems like Ueda has his aesthetic and is just gonna spin his rims right there for a while. I mean even the kind of stupid title invites that kind of criticism.

So, I might play it when it's real cheap, but I don't really feel like I'd be experiencing anything new.

I'm kinda non conformist so I don't think I'll be playing this game until it's at least not cool for a while.

Wow, the E3 trailer (http://www.gametrailers.com/game/the-last-guardian/11425) looked much better!

The boy model still looks pretty bad though
