Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collection

If you asked me to make a list of the all time greatest PS2 games, I’d be a very poor gamer if I didn’t list Ico and Shadow of the Colossus amongst the champions. Both games, created by Team ICO, are individual masterpieces that form the first two games in, what some would call, an unrelated trilogy.

Ico

The titular protagonist of Ico holds onto Princess Yorda's hand as they brave the unknown.

Following in the footsteps of the God of War Collection (which put the first two God of War games on one disc, remastered them in HD, and slapped trophy support in there for good measure), Team ICO announced at Tokyo Game Show that they are releasing their gems out in their own collection. Both games will get an HD touch up (they looked fabulous to begin with) and trophy support as expected. The two games are said to be running at a “solid 30 FPS,” which will definitely help. As beautiful as they were, there were some frame rate issues in the games. Hopefully the power of the PS3 will correct all wrongs.

Shadow of the Colossus

Wander faces one of the many Colossi that roam the land in Shadow of the Colossus.

The Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection will be releasing in Spring of 2011 and will mark the release of Team ICO’s third game, The Last Guardian (which was also announced at TGS for a holiday 2011 release on PS3).

I know I’m excited for this. Now let’s hope for a Kingdom Hearts Collection soon too, eh?

    I completely missed out on both of these gems, so I’m VERY excited to get my hands on them. I wonder if their new game’s release will correspond with the release of these remastered ones, in the same way God of War 3 did?

    I’ll definitely pick that up. I never played Ico, and I only scratched te surface of Colossus.

    Collection is coming out in Spring of 2011
    TLG is coming out Holiday of the same year.

    I am so excited though. I would play these games multiple times and It’s great to have them for my non-backwards compatible PS3.

    Like JB I only barely touched Shadow of Colossus and have never even heard of Ico. So I look forward to another release by the best gaming system there is… :)

    Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favorite games ever I can’t wait to play it another 3 times! I bought Ico just a year or so ago but never got really far into it because it was hard to see on my newer TV.
    This collection will be a day one purchase for me.

    Also b\oth games will include 3D support which could be amazing!

    And also. Trophies, which gives me an extra incentive to play both of them again and again. Not like I needed it anyway.
