It's because ICO is a pretty rare game, that's why you can't find it anywhere... you'll probably have to get it Online if you ever want to buy it though, and most Used copies alone go for $30-40+ bucks and up
ICO came out in 2001, but when I bought ICO back in 2002, it took me AGES to find a copy... and believe it or not, even though I bought it in 2002, I couldn't even find a New copy in stores where I bought video games, and it took me several weeks before I finally tracked dow...
Not that many people can truly appreciate games like ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, and in my opinion Team ICO makes games for a pretty niche audience so I guess it's understandable if you didn't really enjoy it, but me on the other hand, I'm one of those that fall into the niche audience with a slightly different taste in gaming that greatly enjoyed both SoTC and ICO.
To be honest, after all of these years owning the game and beating it numerous times, I never thought of SoTC b...
I already own both games and have beaten both numerous times, but both of them are among my most favorite PS2 games of all time and I'd buy them both again in a heartbeat if Re-Mastered in HD with Trophies just like God of War on the PS3.
ICO and SoTC were both beautiful looking games on the PS2, but it would truly be a dream to play through them in HD.
He's kinda right... the Japanese gaming industry just isn't what it used to be... during previous gens., quality JRPG's were being pumped out from left and right, and now a lot of JRPG's just don't have the quality that they used to have, and there's only been a Small amount of Japanese studio's that have been able to keep up with this generation of gaming.
So many Japanese devs. have Westernized their games to ensure they keep up with the times, but I hope that the "Western...
The MGS: Peace Walker trailer is just epic.... it's the sequel to my favorite MGS game (MGS3), and near the end I think I saw "The Big Shell" from MGS2... I just can't wait.
And I just can't say enough about The Last Guardian, both ICO and SoTC are treasured gems in my collection, and TLG is one of my top 3 most anticipated PS3 exclusives yet to come.
I wish Sony would sell more Limited Edition PS3's like this (especially in the West). If there was a Limited Edition PS3 like this with Snake, Kratos, or with a huge Gran Turismo logo on it, I'd be all over it in a heartbeat.
I'm not a fan of the color Pink or White Electronics, but this FFXIII PS3 just looks slick.
This really makes me think that the next Xbox may not be that far off (no more than 2 or 3 years)... Microsoft has been alternating between Gears and Halo since 2006, and it's going to be interesting to me to see how they fare Software wise without Gears until next-gen.
On the bright side, if Gears 3 isn't coming until Next-Gen, it's very likely it could be a Launch Game.
If the U.S. version gets Censored like Indigo Prophecy did, I'm importing this.... I MUST have the full experience when I get this game.
There are scenes of the equivalent of this in God of War to me (Sex Mini Games anyone?) and CGI boobs in cutscenes (God of War 3 will most likely have it as well), so I really hope Heavy Rain doesn't get censored in the States.
Man.... I wish I could understand Japanese so that I could understand what's going on in the cutscenes, but then again, I guess it's for my own good, so that none of the game gets spoiled for me. The animated/Comic Book style cutscenes are a nice touch as well.
Watching this video just made me realize how BAD I want Big Boss on the PS3.... if there's ever a MGS: Peace Walker 2, please Kojima and/or the MGS4 Team, put that game on the PS3!!
The 2nd vid. was a combination of Real Life, GT5 Cut Scenes and Real Time gameplay... pretty sweet. Compared to Real Life, GT5 is looking pretty amazing.
After GT5 comes out, I might not even buy another Racing Game this gen. other than possibly future Motorstorm, Burnout, or Wipeout games, because GT games always last a LOOONG time, and it'll take you AGES just to even come close to completing the Single Player portion 100%.
"The footage with plastic looking c...
"Looks like Sony was afraid of the competition...
Not surprised "
Gran Turismo 5 hardly any has any competition to begin with, and the PS3's 2009 Exclusive game lineup is already packed... there's 3 PS3 exclusives coming Next Month, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 later this month, there's the God of War Collection in November, and that doesn't even include the PSP's New games.
Gran Turismo 5 in December would have been great, but it would have been a little cro...
At E3 Kazunori said that they can release GT5 pretty much at anytime they wanted, so how is it just 65% complete? Unless Polyphony decided to move the game back a little further to update the damage modeling, I don't think it's that far off.
Also, some of these percentages sound a little fishy to me... 50% for Heavy Rain and it's coming out Early 2010? I think Heavy Rain is much further along than that because it was supposed to come out late this year.
Of course it's false.... if Microsoft hadn't made strides to acquire Bioware before EA did or Epic Games yet, why in the world would try to tackle a Multi-Billion Dollar Publisher like EA out of the blue? EA's Revenue for the 2009 Fiscal Year was over 4 Billion... I can't even imagine the amount of money it would take to acquire them.
The rumors about EA possibly eying THQ is something that I can believe, because they have a nice track record of acquiring big Studios this gen. bu...
LOL, NO the entire Trailer and all of the pics are all redendered with in-game assests.
The Ferrari Tribute Trailer is literally the SAME quality as the E3 2009 GT5 Trailer. The E3 Trailer was ALL in-game, and IGN themselves did an analysis of the E3 trailer, and they concluded that it was in-game, so if the E3 trailer was in-game, the new Ferrari Tribute trailer and these pics are as well, because both Trailers are of the same quality:
IGN analysis article:
Nah, I highly doubt SquareEnix will be revealing a release date for it Early next year because they've only confirmed the Japanese release date for FFXIII not too long ago....If Versus XIII isn't coming out until 2011, the release date for it probably won't be announced until sometime in 2011 (Hopefully it releases worldwide in 2011).
I'm thinking that there might be a new Trailer, in addition to just new general info about the game (story, characters, more info on the gameplay, ...
I would love another Uncharted, and even though I'm probably in the minority when I say this, I would prefer Naughty Dog go back to Jak and Daxter for at least ONE more game and then do another Uncharted next.
I would love for the next Uncharted to be a less linear Open World game or an Uncharted game like Metal Gear Solid 3 where the gameplay is somewhat linear, but you have to Hunt your own food, and Heal your own wounds with Medical Supplies you find... now that would be prett...
Holy Smokes EA, chill out a bit.... one thing for sure, EA already has enough studios to support a console if they ever wanted to come out with one, and acquiring THQ would be icing on the cake, especially with the WWE and UFC games... heck, if they did come out with there own console, hardly any multiplatform titles would be on Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo consoles in the future.... That's a scary thought, but hopes it never comes true...
z-hayden,
Yeah, I've been there too man. I started out with a 23" Samsung HDTV with my PS3 about 2 years ago, but to me a Small HDTV was better than No HDTV at all and I still feel that way! I didn't get my 40" Samsung until this Summer, but now that I'm back at college,I'm stuck with my 23" again until Fall Break :(
Hopefully the prices of the bigger screen HDTV's drop in price a lot more in the near future, because I want as many people as possible t...
This isn't that surprising because there was an Interview a while back where Mark Reign from Epic Games and he said that over 50% of 360 users that bought Gears 2 didn't play it on a HDTV:

Plus, Microsoft sold the Xbox 360 for a little while without an HDMI port initially, so there's probab...
I totally agree with Agro's Fall in SoTC.... loosing Agro was like loosing a part of yourself in the game because he was only living creature in the game you interacted with except for Colossi.
I was kind of surprised this list didn't include that scene in MGS4 when Snake was crawling through that Microwave... for me it was like I could just feel Snake's pain through the screen, and only people that have played MGS4 and are fans of the series know what I'm talking about. That sce...
