How is everyone getting this from Amazon today?
When I pre-ordered they gave no option for release date delivery.

Do you need Prime for it to automatically upgrade to RDD?
I thought Amazon was supposed to give you the option of paying extra for RDD on checkout, even if you don't have Prime.
God, these upgraded versions are amazing. The visuals, the sound (the voices in SoTC sound SO MUCH BETTER), the bonus content.
Even the 3d works really well in both titles. For the most part I've been anti-3d gaming outside Wipeout HD which looks awesome, but I'm enjoying both Ico and SoTC far more with 3d on. The gorgeous landscapes really pop thanks to the 3d.

God I almost don't even wanna play anymore, is it seriously gonna take a shit on every single beautiful moment of the game?
I fucking hate achievements and trophies so much.

I love Ico, it's actually my favorite out of the two games. Is The Last Guardian footage on the disc going to appear online? I thought it would have by now, would be hard for Sony to keep off the internet.
Edit: Saw it a couple of pages back, thanks.

Hah I dont find them that bad but keep in mind they only happen the first time you beat a collusi. So if it bothers you that much you could have a friend over and beat the game while you do homework or read a book or something, than you can play the game trophy free =]autobzooty said:God I almost don't even wanna play anymore, is it seriously gonna take a shit on every single beautiful moment of the game?

Sounds extreme but might work for you.

Oh man, I just realized some of these battles are a total cakewalk for me since I played this game before and kind of remembered how to defeat them, combine that with the jump and stab and they just die too fast to be satisfying. I literally finished off the
Colossus in around a minute and a half (or so it seemed). :/

You almost don't even wanna play anymore? What a waste. You must have some chronic problem with trophies and achievements to need to post something like this.autobzooty said:God I almost don't even wanna play anymore, is it seriously gonna take a shit on every single beautiful moment of the game?

I know there's no option to turn them off, but is there no way you can play while signed out or something? If there's absolutely no way of avoiding them then that's a bit weird, but it still shouldn't elicit this kind of reaction. These are two great games from last generation, remastered in stunning HD (something many, many people were clamouring for), and people have to go and complain about something that has been necessary for years of the current generation.
Honestly, what is it that bothers you about them so much? Is it the icon? The sound? If something so petty can ruin such a "beautiful moment" for you, then you must have a seriously limited attention span. Please just get over it and be thankful for such a generous re-working of such fantastic concepts.

I'm playing disconnected from the internet and I turned off all "notifications" in system settings. the trophy beep persists. being disconnected from the internet, the trophies won't even sync, making them doubly useless. i don't appreciate what trophies add to gaming to begin with, and now they're stepping on the toes of what I think is important, in addition to being totally stupid in a passive way.
and yeah, it's pretty easy to ruin an emotional moment in a video game. right when you're getting sucked into the experience and starting to lose yourself, the fucking trophy message pops up to say "hey, you're playing a video game, i hope you weren't getting immersed for a second there."
how would you like it if the person on the couch next to you farted loudly during the saddest part of your favorite movie? now how would you feel if they told you in advance that they were going to hold their gas and make sure their fart happened at the most inopportune time? you wouldn't feel inclined to wait for god to patch farting out of humans so you can enjoy it uninhibited?
i'm not gonna quit the game cos it's still a beautiful masterpiece, but god damn is it a bummer. it would be blowing things out of proportion to outright quit the game, you're right, but i can't understate just how shitty this whole trophy thing really is.

It does bring into light how ridiculous it is that you can't turn off those notifications. I don't give a shit about trophies and don't need someone to constantly pat me on the back for playing a game. There's no reason to not be able to turn those off.

I feel you man. I once deleted one profile because a friend of mine decided to get a trophy for me when it first started
Fuck. Yo. Trophies
That being said, I don't mind the sound though

It's not hard. I believe the World Record is 90 something minutes and definitely doable if you know where to go.
Also for the trophy haters, you could download a starter save from somebody else and play the game. Every time a trophy should pop, you get the standard silent message of "You did not earn a Trophy" at the top right of the screen which also shows you when your friends are online. You won't get trophies that way but people who are annoyed by it probably don't care anyway. Would be cooler though if all the colossus trophies would be awarded by the end of the game or something, maybe 3 golds instead of 16 or so bronze ones.

sort of, except you can disable them on 360 and they don't make noise on steam.

I just got my copy today and but haven't opened it cause a buddy wanted to co-op Gears of War 3 instead. I'll be playing it tomorrow and I am quite excited as I have never played either of these two games before. It's all I can do to not make myself read more of this thread.
BTW, where does one buy that Japan Limited Edition copy if we're in the US? It looks absolutely beautiful. How much is it retail in Japan?

How long do you think it would take for a good, dedicated gamer to complete each game? I have no money but never had a chance to play these games on PS2 so I feel like I have to play it one way or another so renting it sounds nice. I actually wanted this game back when I was younger and it just came out but got other things instead at Christmas, lol...

I seem to remember there isn't much to do in the secret garden at the top of the temple, it always looked like they intended to have more going on up there but ran out of time or something. Would be ace if there is more now

As usual, companies cheaping out because they have to do bilingual packaging. Bleh.

it's something that genuinely bothers me and is having a serious negative impact on my experience with the game. i'm glad it doesn't bother you, but sorry if i don't subscribe to the "just be thankful you got to play such a good game" philosophy. i'd rather be a "whiner" than someone who feels like he's being done a favor after paying full price for a product. now THAT is ridiculous.

:O Talk about sticker shock!
they must have known that these titles in particular would attract folk who don't want the pop-ups (both the sound & sign) so it surely couldn't have taken much to add some sort of option...we can hope for a patch, but I guess if there was one coming we'd have won most the trophies already!
