Re: From the makers of ICO
Wed, October 19, 2005 - 8:40 AMI was just going to post this.. hahahah My boyfriend and I have been ANXIOUSLY awaiting the release of this game (he more than I being an avid fan of ICO and following the "sequal" to this game longer)
I actually saw it on IGN and they gave it a 9.7 rating! My boyfriend's got it on preorder and picking it up today. I can't wait to see/play it! -

Sun, October 23, 2005 - 3:46 PMI'm glad they didn't call it Wanda and Collosus. When I read about it earlier in the year I just thought no, please don't call it Wanda! Anything but that. Shadow is much cooler.
It looks fantastic but will probably take a million years to come out here. I just found out We Love Katamari won't be out here for awhile longer :( -

Re: From the makers of ICO
Mon, October 24, 2005 - 10:57 AMThis is a beautiful game. The graphics and sounds are very realistic. The horse RULES.. I love him. I watched my boyfriend play it full through. It is VERY intense at times. I don't want to reveal too much, but there is a sense of sadness that comes with defeating these enormous colossi. -

Mon, November 14, 2005 - 9:08 PMI bought this game. The begining is horrible. WTF do I do? The begining is poorly designed to say the least. Style over substance is bad. -

Re: From the makers of ICO
Mon, November 14, 2005 - 9:18 PMcan't really make suggestions unless you are a little more clear.
what do you find to be horrible? what do you need help doing?
i had no problems with it personally, so i am not sure what you mean.

"Style over substance is bad."
by substance, do you actually mean 'patronizing tutorial mode?'
go out into the daylight. use d-pad to draw sword. press 'O' to raise it. turn until the light gathers to a beam. follow. this mechanic is crucial to your success. repeat often(you can do it from horseback).
by my measure, the beginning of this game is perfectly designed. my only complaint of over-styling would be the consistently skewed camera framing. would be better to have that be an occasionally scripted cinematic flare, as opposed to the default camera.
btw, does anyone know if these characters are supposed to be the same ones from ico? -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: From the makers of ICO
Tue, November 15, 2005 - 2:10 PMi am not particularly fond of the way the camera always swings back to its original set either.... at least, not when i am trying to aim the damned bow. ;)
though, i like the fact that it adds difficulty. i never mind something being made into a greater trial, though it may bring out the Tourette's in me ;)
and from what i have heard, they are the same characters. -

well, when i had my brother play it last night, he was complaining more that it took too long to resolve back behind him. clearly they've struck a slippery compromise. of course, burke codes video game camera controls in his sleep, so his perspective might be a bit skewed...as it were. but over all, he's quite taken with the game, so his minor critiques should be served with salt.
for the record, mish, you are better at this game than he. and, don't worry, i haven't tried to defeat any new colossi without you. ;)
they do look like the same characters. and homie lost his horns at the end of ico...

Re: From the makers of ICO
Tue, November 15, 2005 - 5:22 PMYes the tutorial mode is bad. -

Re: From the makers of ICO
Tue, November 15, 2005 - 5:32 PMi don't know, i read the book, and voila, gameplay occurred.
i would prefer *less* tutorial in most games, actually. as don pointed out, being patronized gets old. aren't us gamers supposed to have brains, after all?
perhaps i just have an innate born talent at this particular game, however. though, as those who have seen me play can attest to, the rampant, sailor-tongued, effusive and ever-present cursing indicates otherwise.
how i wish i were killing colossi right now. *sigh*......
