If there’s one thing we’ve been craving more than than Duke Nukem Forever it’s definitely the next game from Team ICO. They are the masterminds behind the classic PlayStation 2 titles ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. Ever since SoC we knew that Team ICO was working on another project but has remained very tight lipped on revealing any information until GDC 09. Fumito Ueda mentioned the next game from Team ICO would be similar to ICO during a panel discussion on game design at GDC earlier this year. Today PlayStation LifeStyle posted a video from what it claims to be early footage from Project TRICO, the supposed next game from Team ICO.
Without any sources to confirm this video we can’t claim it to be true. It looks very professionaly done with convincing graphics and really good music. It stars a boy and his griffin-esque companion as they navigate through what looks like ruins. It even starts with that infamous picture we saw a long time ago of a chain going down a deep hole. Whether this is legit or not, it certainly entertaining to watch.

I don’t know….Everything looks so real…
But the boy I was wishing would have the same ps2 character look like Wander, not Ico, Ico was for playstation. They could make him look a bit realer.
Everything was eyecatching. But the boy…Idk. :)

Looks so flippin’ epic it’s unreal. I’m looking forward to the beautiful minimalism in ancient architecture and landscape that Team ICO brings to the table… especially since it’ll be showcased on better hardware than before.
Remind anyone else of Neverending Story?

I’m going to nitpick… the feathers just don’t seem that well done on the griffin. They move, but I’m not sure that they should. Feathers don’t move like that in the wind. Go grab a chicken and see for yourself. Bring a fan while you’re at it.

Two things on this:
First: The footage is leaked. It’s likely from an early build of the game. Before this thing releases, if it releases, I’d expect major changes to almost everything.
Second: Maybe the feathers are metallic? They certainly move/glimmer that way, don’t they?

The concept of having a huge creature as a partner as opposed to an enemy is the sort of switch I can imagine Team ICO making.
