PLEASE POST THE WANDA IMAGE AGAIN I HAVENT SEEN IT YET

 

[Black_Mamba]

It's time for the person who leaked the Nico pics to leak the video also, so we can compare.

Should work. Copy and paste... any direct links will NOT work.

 

[Matlock]

Wanda = what Nico became.

I'm guessing you'll be leading around the horse this time around, or possibly the other way around.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make gamers enjoy it.

 

[Scott]

Looks like Final Fantasy XI to me, haha.

If by looking like it, you mean it looks completely different. Then I agree!

 

[MassiveAttack]

9/24 = First day of TGS

TGS +1000

 

[Ill Saint]

Did anyone ever really expect it would be related to Ico?

Well, there was that large spread with horned characters on horseback overlooking a desert... and the images from the video had horned cahracters. No horns here though... still, it's Uedas new game. Works for me.

 

[BuddyC]

I think controlling the horse would be a really neat gameplay mechanic.

 

[BatiGOOOOOOL]

Yay! Looks like TGS might actually be worth something.

it works
thx a lot!!!

 

[Jonnyram]

For what it's worth, the intro to Wanda says "We're fighting to meet you again". I think the "again" may mean it has some relation to Ico, but it's obviously an iffy connection for now.

 

[DCharlie]

Speculation : so you guide a huge collosal monster over mountain sized obstacles ?

 

[Ryu]

Yorda didn't have horns...

 

[ferricide]

OMG IT SEEMS TO NOT BE EXACTLY WHAT I HAD WANTED AND IMAGINED IT MIGHT BE, I HATE SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[SolidSnakex]

Here are the pics that came out for "NICO":

 

[Mermandala]

also, it looks as if the monster has shorn horns hellboy-style.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Maybe Wanda is the leader of a tribe, those boys with horns help her and you have to lead them so they can stop that Giant. I don't know, it all seems to cool though.

 

[MassiveAttack]

Wanda = Yorda?

Hmmmm....

 

[ferricide]

you deserve a cookie. i didn't even notice!

 

[Lord Error]

Here's the full picture that I extracted from the SWF file. It's bigger than the flash site displays, and also does not suffer from re-compression that you get when making screenshots and saving them as JPEG.

Looks like Final Fantasy XI to me, haha.

How many more weak trolling attempts before he gets banned?

 

[Mermandala]

you deserve a cookie. i didn't even notice!

yay thanks! *takes bite* BLARG! uck. worst cookie evar!! !!!

 

[Matlock]

It wasn't a trolling attempt, jesus. It really does look like FFXI to me.

 

[MassiveAttack]

Two observations:

1) The monster appears to be built of the same materials as the castle in Ico.

2) There is a subtle pattern on the armor of the horseback rider that looks very similar to Yorda's dress.

 

[Matlock]

I think controlling the horse would be a really neat gameplay mechanic.

All depends on how it's implemented, of course. With this, it looks like there's some real action to be had, which might just foist my love upon it when it does come out.

Also: bonus points for the Hellboy reference, Merm.

 

[JackFrost2012]

Marconelly is awesome! Awesome is Marconelly!

 

[TTP]

I love those birds over the monster's head. The scream "HUGE"

 

[DCharlie]

"1) The monster appears to be built of the same materials as the castle in Ico."

yeah, i noticed that.

then i wondered if the game is actually set IN the giant?

You know, with the "rooms" being dynamic as the beast moves, or as organs work (the beating heart, the rooms that fill with liquid (bladder) etc etc.... with you having to fight your way to the "brain" or whatever.

No

Oh well, probably yes

You think too much.

 

[TTP]

You think too much.

He got quite close.

 

[Defensor]

No

Oh well, probably yes

you know something.... spill it!

 

[TTP]

I wont! I'd get killed if I do!

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I wont! I'd get killed if I do!

Same thing will happen if you don't.

So is there more stuff coming today or must we wait until TGS?

 

[SolidSnakex]

He got quite close.

You've got figure out a way to scale it to get Ico out of that face plate thing it's wearing?

 

[TTP]

A video is coming. It's gonna be shown at TGS.
"La-Le-Lu-Li-Lo"

 

[DCharlie]

yeah, i'd just go for you have to scale the outside....

made more difficult as it traverses different terrains...

or something.

 

[Lord Error]

1) The monster appears to be built of the same materials as the castle in Ico.

Wow, great observation! If you look close, I think that monster has some constructions built on it, some indents and such things. Could that be 'roads' that you use to climb on it?

Monster looks very weird, like a mixture of flesh and stone. I like it a lot.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Thanks a bunch.

 

[TTP]

 

[Mermandala]

Girl trapped in Castle saved by Boy With Horns. Boy with Horns "trapped" inside Monster/ is the Monster.
Ico(or BWH, whatever) is the Castle/Monster saved by Wanda... right?

Shadows were central to the theme in Ico...

will there be any significance to the shadow the Monster casts on plot or gameplay?

 

[MetatronM]

Wanda is clearly Nico or at the very least a spiritual successor to Ico. Hell, even the subtle subtle ambient wind noise on the Wanda page is Ico-ish.

Genji looks like it might be interesting too. I eagerly anticipate TGS info and media.

 

[Jonnyram]

Aside from the story, I can't help but think they skimped on the polys for that horse a bit too much.

 

[deadhorse32]

Maybe i miss something but is Genji made by Game Republic (Yoshiki Okamoto team)

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I'm slow, I just noticed that weapon in the giant's hand. :lol

 

[Lord Error]

It wasn't a trolling attempt, jesus. It really does look like FFXI to me.

That was only the last of many simillar (and useless) posts that you made in this thread. Oh look, you actually made another one after that.

 

[MetatronM]

Looks that way. I see "Game Republic X Sony Computer Entertainment Japan" so I assume that's what it means.

 

[acklame]

wanda?! nico?!

Nice, seems like everyone except Gamespot will have their story up in the morning.

Yoshiki Okamoto has never dissapointed me...I doubt he'll do now. +1 for Geinji
