Team Ico Hiring, Releases One Screenshot Of Next Project
Team Ico seems to finally be moving forward on their next game, and, according to their site, are apparently hiring. I don't read Japanese, but I am told the text is just listings for job openings and the qualifications for them.
The real meat here is this screenshot that replaced the old sketch that had been occupying the space. What is it? What is attached to that chain? The way the light is shown makes me think the viewpoint is as if we were looking into a hole, down into a dark chamber of some kind. As if we'd just unsealed a tomb. I have an image in my head of what happens next, that chain would begin to move...

Other stuff like this: Ico, PS3, Shadow of the Colossus
It is a tribute to my love for the original ICO that even this paltry screenshot (and who even knows if it's an actually screenshot of a game) has me excited.
ICO consumed me from start to finish. Definitely one of my top 3 ever.
Ico and SOTC were triumphs in my book, whatever they put out next will be amazing.....trust.
You fool! Warren is DEAD!!
(Sorry. Obligatory Lovecraft reference.)
Team Ico is one of my favorite developers of all time. The original Ico is one of the most tender games, and the only game that ever made an escort mission fun and interesting.
Fun fact! That's a location in SOTC. It's the spiral staircase leading down into the temple where you take your dead girlfriend. Perhaps this is a continuation of the previous stories I think?
@EshuElegbara: Good eye.
Prequel to Prequel? Sequel to Prequel? Just plain Sequel? It doesn't matter what it is, I'm there day one!
I played through Shadow of the Colossus from beginning to end waiting to see what was so special that had everyone raving about it and I just never saw it.
