Wouldn’t it be awesome to have Team ICO’s games on the PlayStation 3 like that thing they did withGod of War: Collection? Of course it would. You know it, I know it, and according to a recent TGS interview with1UP, Fumito Ueda knows it, too.
When asked if we’d ever seeICOandShadow of the Colossusbundled together in a combo pack on the PS3, the games’ creator says he’s all for it. Ueda tells 1UP:
“I always thought they were designed for PS2 and should stay there. But lately, I’ve been thinking it would be nice to provide the games to other platforms to reach more users.”
This would of course need the approval and support of Sony execs, but hey, they did it forGod of War, and Fumito Ueda certainly wants to see it happen. He’s most certainly not alone in that. Can you imagine remastered versions ofICOandShadow of the Colossuswith anti-aliasing, perhaps even texture upgrades, in 720p? I’ve often felt these games deserved better than the hardware they were put on, and it’s looking like if there’s enough public outcry, they might just get it.
