Faketoid: Team ICO bringing The Queen to TGS? photo

Fans of Team ICO's haunting work have been eagerly awaiting further details on the studio's mysterious third project, and it has been hinted at before that we will see the game at TGS.

If rumor is to be believed, the PS3 title now has a name and a teaser site promising its TGS reveal. The Queen is claiming to be on show at the PlayStation Lounge during next month's event, and if this is a hoax, it's a very elaborate one -- complete with a flash image and some rather ambient music. 

This is nothing but a Rumortoid for now, because apparently nobody has been able to determine the Web site's validity. It would be a very strange hoax to fire up, especially so close to TGS, but you can't really put anything past the sad perverts out there with nothing better to do with their lives.We shall have to wait see when the Tokyo Game Show rolls around.

Update: This story is apparently fake (thanks, Zero_) so now it exists to completely waste your time. Are you enjoying it? Hi!

Sorry Jim, he may be a wanker (which he isn't - he made these for a contest and I'm not sure about his girlfriend-less), but it was you who jumped the gun. You don't have to be rude because you didn't check your facts, no?

I did check the facts -- the facts where that this was an unverified Web site so it was a rumor. Now the facts emerge that it is fake and I have updated the story. But I was probably a little harsh.

Good thing it's a fake, I don't think I could put up with another ten years of people mispronouncing the name of a Team Ico game. For the record (if any idiots are reading) Ico is pronounced EYE-KO, damnit! A-I-KO!!!!!!!!!! DO YOU HEAR ME!???!?!

How else would you pronounce Ico? O_o Not eco, surely...

Maybe you should have checked the source website where the flash page was hosted and you'd have learned that this sad fellow here spent countless hours working to build a site and community dedicated to these games. Maybe if you did check your sources you'd have learned that this wasn't a prank either but it was only an entry for an art competition being held in my group.

Anyways, cheers for posting this great article. Much appreciated.

Heartbreak.

Maybe Team Ico should take the hint? The day they put out a game is the day I probably finally buy a PS3

I saw this last night and nearly died of excitement. After linking it to everyone, I searched around to see how true it was... After finding the truth I'm going to continue pretending its real, or at least something big is gonna happen at TGS.

Jim Sterling you arrogant twat. Where do you get off calling someone "ridiculous, girlfriend-less and pitiful" and a "sad wanker" just for entering an art competition? If you're a fucking clueless "journalist" copying and pasting anything you can find without doing the slightest bit of investigation then you've only got yourself to blame when you get things wrong.
