Hi im on my first playthrough of the game and im currently stucked on the waterwheel part. I cant make that jump. Does anybody have any tips for this, is there anyway to cheat this? Im playing on pcsx2 at 60fps, in case it matters.

Saw the other thread and wanted to show mine.

I think I just hate Yorda now.

Shuhei yoshida (former Sony Worldwide Games President) recently talked briefly during a Interview at IGN Japan, about the development of The last guardian,

He said Sony announced it for PS3 then didn't say anything for a long time so he got many questions about it. He said the truth was they were having issues with development. Many people doesn't know that, but a demo of the last guardian was planned to be included on the Ico and Sotc collection, which we all know it didn't happened, Fumito Ueda's games have a vision and they wanted Trico to move realistically. But the PS3's performance couldn't handle the large character in the environments and it was running at around 10 - 15 FPS. No matter what they did they couldn't get it to run better, there is a making of video of the last guardian which shows the game running that slow, so they moved it to PS4 and had to redo all the programming.

Shuhei said that if it was any other publisher they probably would have cancelled it. But he thought about the Ico and SotC fans and thought Ueda's vision was wonderful, so he decided 'whatever happens we have to release it!' and kept on saying to everyone 'let's do our best!' to get it done.

He said he was beyond happy that he could finally announce it releasing on stage at E3 2015!

Man, shuhei yoshida was such a treasure at PlayStation, definitely we are gonna miss him.

I played Ico I guess a year ago and I really liked it and I am planning on playing Shadow of the Colossus for the first time really soon, but I forgot a lot of Ico's story, so I would like to remember Ico's story before playing shadow of the colossus without spoiling any other game, I tried looking some videos but english is not my native language, so reading is really better for me, could someone help me?

As we all know, Ico, as well as Shadow of the colossus and The last guardian, has a fictional language on the games, all the words are invented, but in Ico, has a exception, there is only one word which is not a fictional one, is a Real word, the word "Daijobu", which the direct translation is: "Allright, Okay" but it is also a short way to say "Are you okay?" Ico clearly says this word on the game, also the subtitles in the game says it too, which is a Real Japanese Word, i was wondering why this is in the game, because all is fictional with the exception of that, i couldn't find any interview which that was asked, maybe bcs is such a minor detail what a lot would not notice, What do you think about it?

How is the PS3 version of Ico? IIRC there were some issues had with the ps3 version of SOTC (particularly a slight change to Wander's grip/balance) so I was just wondering if Ico had any similar issues or if it's still just as good of an experience as it's original PS2 version.

It's a beautiful movie and it reminds me of an Ueda game so much! Just know it's a movie with all animals (and no they don't talk).

I went in blind other than that and I recommend you do too! It's expanding into more theaters because it has won some awards. It's also on rent and digital to buy. Just trust me on this you won't regret it!

I love ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. They are some of the best experiences I've ever had with games, which made me look for games with more artistic and narrative tone in terms of characters and world cohesion, like the Souls series for example. Unfortunately, both games (and I'm referring to the original SOTC) are stuck on the PS2 and PS3, and with no way to emulate or play these games on their original platforms for many, the experience of these games ends up being missed or lost by many who have never played them and would like to play them for the first time, or who would like to replay them.

Yes, I know that Shadow of the Colossus had a remake on the PS4, but in my opinion and that of many, the game lost a lot of its original vision from the game by Fumito Ueda, focusing much more on being a visually impressive game than on being faithful to the magnificent art that made the game as a whole interesting to begin with. I think that the PS Plus catalog of classic games is a great opportunity for these games to be available on more modern Sony consoles.

And since the original MediEvil was released for the catalog, even though it also has a more modern remake, I believe that this is not an impediment for the original version of SOTC to be released again, and even more so ICO which is one of the most important games in the history of the gaming industry and which for some reason has been forgotten by Sony.

I'm like, in disbelief... it sounded so similar and then changed notes correctly too. Brought up the song immediately after to verify, even though I've heard it a hundred times. Wondering if I can verify this next time - I will update. Also I've been a musician my whole life, and producer for over a decade. Pretty keen ear, at least above average. It sounded extremely similar if not the actual track.

It WAS NOT the normal hold music. It was the 'if you're the authorized caregiver, press 1, if not, press 2', and I accidently fatfingered 2. "I'll wait while you get them" cue 'Heal'

Like, that can't be possible. Right? Anyone know of any super similar ripoffs?

edit or someone else try this next time you get an automated voice message from walgreens pharmacy

I keep reading people that mention a old 4chan leak describing the game has a dual realm world (mechanical wasteland + palace of the giants above the clouds), how many people recall this? Because if this 3 year old leak (I saw messages mentioning this in 2022) had details like mechanical wasteland and cyborg-like protagonist there's no way it could have been just guesswork.

What do you think?

I understand that they are in the same universe, but what is the evidence that they are indeed the same universe?

Is obvious that we know there are plans to made an cinematic adaptation of this game after the Shadow of the Colossus one gets made and released. But since the latter is taking a hella lot of time to get done and if they do, it would be a hollywood disaster like always, I believe we should think on other ways to get ICO adapted. And what no better way to do that with an animated movie made by Cartoon Saloon, that Irish Animation Studio that made classics like Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea and Wolfwalkers. But why that studio you say? I think the artstyle of said studio can be fitting for the mysterious setting of Fumito Ueda games, and I believe they would make a good job in that. Anyways, what do you think about this idea?

Any suggestions for how to play Ico now? Many thanks!

Has anybody gotten The World Of Fumito Ueda - Making of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian? How much of the artwork in the book is game stills versus concept art or original drawings? I can't read Japanese, but am a big fan of the games and would be interested in getting the book if it contains a lot of concept art.
