I can’t wait to play The Last Guardian! I have both Ico and Shadow on PS2 and I will definitely be getting the new PS3 3D HD release of the games! I hope they take the time to really add HD detail to the textures and keep the character models the same but add a little more detail geometry to smooth out the edges. As a CG artist myself I know that is a lot of work.

I wonder if they will take the time to fix some of the bugs like when Ico’s stick goes through the wall and through Yorda?

Art is conveying beauty and immersing the viewer in a visual and emotional experience. By that definition I believe there is no doubt that these games classify as art!

Speaking of Art I agree with the comments from the earlier post in that they really need to make a better box cover for the ICO/SOTC re-release! The USA Ico cover sucked big time!
I want it to look something like THIS cover: http://www.vgboxart.com/view/19585/ico/

That is awesome!

I’m so looking forward to playing this games. All Ueda`s games are so epic and truly envolving that I’m almost sorta desperate to play The Last Guardian.

But I’ll have to wait more than a year long ahahhaa. That’s alright. it’s gonna be all worth it.

ps: Can’t also wait to play SotC and Ico Collection!

It’s definately gonna be another great game. Ico and Shadow were great pieces of art that showed us that you can have deep emotional investment in characters that barely talk. Sure, you play the games, but art is meant to evoke something from all the senses, it’s about interacting with it in some compacity. Drawn art you look at, food you taste, and music you listen. Games make you look, listen, and feel something on the inside. If that’s not art then, well I don’t want to know what else is then. :P

Very interesting interview ;-D

Specially the questions about the controls, the possibility of other ‘Trico’/other species like him/her.

I ever thinked that Ueda’s age was about 20-30 years :-P

@Sid:

Thanks for the reply. I definitely agree with your passion for Team ICO’s work. My copy of PS2 ICO is a jewel in my rack. As a gamer, though, I am just far more interested in the creative process and the nuts and bolts of putting these things together. The end experience speaks for itself. Leave the artistic questions for some academic somewhere.
