Team Ico is making a 'really, really good' game photo

Hey, there’s nothing like confidence. A user over at NeoGAF recently opened his new copy of Official PlayStation Magazine to find an interview with Sony’s Senior Vice President of Product Development, Shuhei Yoshida. Besides possessing the longest title at Sony, Yoshida has also taken an interest in Team Ico’s upcoming PlayStation 3 project. He has seen the project at work and was confident enough to say that the game is looking “really, really good.” Here’s the excerpt:

It took four years and the second game took four years too. So I started calling them the ‘Olympic Team.’ They haven’t released a PS3 title yet - of course not - they’ll take four years! But they have something really, really good on the way.

The quote was in reference to Team Ico’s previous creations and development cycles. Could Team Ico’s project be the virtual chain-climbing game we have all been expecting? Or do you think it will be something as crazy as Shadow of the Colossus? Either way, that well looks dark and scary, and that’s the kind of theme that I want from Team Ico.

Hell yes. So far their games have consistently spanned culture, genre, and art.

I'm guessing that this'll probably be exclusive to PS3? If so, then might as well consider me to have already bought one then, because it will happen.

I guess this is the BIG August 3rd announcement?

@Im OK: Yes, it's a second party developer. The game is essentially automatically and infinitely exclusive.

And fuck me, 4 years... I hope he means since when they started working on it; I'd love some news on this project.

OOH what if it's a horror game somehow, and they completely revolutionize the Horror genre? That would be awesome. Unlikely, but awesome.

Do want.

Also, @mix, is there a cartoon that your avatar is from? Every time I go looking for it, I find nothing!

They should have had God of War III, new Ico team game, and Loco Roco PS3 all out with in a year after launch. If they had, the PS3 might actually be neck and neck with the Wii.

At this point, it will probably be too little to late. If I were Sony, I'd just save this one for the PS4.

is going to be a huge success. I can expect a developer to say his game is going to be shit.

Whatever it is it will put at least one more console into a home, which would be mine. I can guarantee it will justify my purchase of a PS3 all on its own.
