Ico Sequel Info
Ico was one of the original innovative games for the Playstation 2, and the sequel is finally nearing its release date. Games.Kikizo.com (via Blues) has an interview, screenshots, and details on the upcoming title. From the article: "There's a young man on a horse, with a girl. You can see that she's unconscious, and this is because she has lost her soul. He takes her to a temple-like area that exists at World's End. He is trying to revive her and recover her soul. In order to do that, he has to defeat the Colossi."
What an annoying site. Glad I could see some screens of this possibly-great game there, but I'm never going back.
yet looks a lot more action-packed than the original's overly puzzle/jumping based maze-running.
You say that like it's a good thing. Am I the only one that's tired of every game being "action-packed"? Is it wrong to want to play a visually stunning game that you use more of your brain to play than your lightning fast reflexes?
Where the fuck were you? I remember well when ICO was released, and I remember just about every review said it was great! And if I recall correctly (and I do) not many people talked about its innovation, but rather its emotional appeal. The graphics, for the time, were amazing and clean, not cluttered like so many of its contemporaries. And blurriness? Did you even play Ico, or just watch the free streaming videos on Gamespot?
Everyone's pants are "exploding" because it was a truly great game that came in under a lot of radars because it didn't involve guns, or blood, or hoes.
Check yo'self foo... know what the fuck you're talking about next time.
Note to self: No more arguing with the faithful.
