Sorry if old .

Kinda strange since there is no mention to source but ...

Nous tenons à vous apprendre ou à vous rappeler que notre célèbre ICO aura bien une suite, nommée ICO II (connue aussi sous NICO) prévue pour l'instant aux USA courant 2005.
De quoi être ravi, mais nous, les européens, attendons-nous à une sortie fin 2005.

Un an de patience avant de renouer avec la poésie numérique...

2005? Wow, they're really going out on a limb with that crazy prediction!

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

According to the writer of the news, it is based on IGN release schedule so there's no official confirmation for Nico.

 

[Santo]

I predict a new Mario by 2008.

PSP please.

 

[Mock]

PSP please.

Fuck no, PS2. You can't put the atmosphere of Ico in a handheld, no matter how spiffing it is.

Same goes for a game like Silent Hill. It just wouldn't work.

 

[Tiberius]

an ico game on psp would be perfect

 

[jenov4]

Ohhh sweet ICO sequel, I wouldn't mind a PSP version, but I'll take anything!

 

[dark10x]

PSP please.

Why the hell would you want to put ICO on a handheld? Handhelds absolutely DESTROY any chance of a game having atmosphere...

That would be an absolutely TERRIBLE idea.

This man speaks the truth (well, most likely).

ICO for GBA with 8-bit music!

Belive it or not, I actualy enjoyed the puzzles and mechanics in Ico as well (though combat was a little too simple/messy/stressful). Besides, PSP's got a nice big screen, it should be entirely possible to project a convincing, engaging atomsphere on it.

I'd agree Silent Hill wouldn't work that great on PSP but there a world of difference between the mood and effect in that series and Ico. Ico doesn't make the same "real world" demands most feel is needed to really appreciate Silent Hill (darkness/night/solitude/whatever). It's simply beautiful fantasy, something I could really escape into anywhere.

If not Nico, I hope Ico gets a PSP rerelease.

Uh, I also loved the gameplay of ICO. It was the fact that they combined good gameplay with incredible atmosphere.

I just don't think PSP could do it. I mean, sitting in a dark room with the sound cranked up while viewing a larger TV is VERY different from hunching over a handheld. Even with nice headphones, it just wouldn't capture the feel of the game very well.

Now, porting ICO to PSP would be OK. The game is very fun to play and would be cool to have on the go, but it would still lose a lot (which wouldn't be a big deal because I've already experienced it several times).
