Thinks he should have been the one to kill Batman's parents.
That seems like the point, though: it incentivizes you to play through the game in a different fashion than normal.Yoshichan said:

There are fruit on trees too. Also, SPOILER ALERT!......the symbols on the saving temples match the doors in Ico.

Oh Christ, thank you.
Really never needed to see another pointless trophy message/*DING* shit up my gameplay experience, especially in something as involving and engrossing as either Team ICO game. Not a troll post; I really hate achievements/trophies, and don't want them always popping up and reminding me I'm playing a game sometimes. I certainly don't want them inappropriately punctuating emotional moments in games, particularly ICO/SOTC.
THANK YOU!!

Would anybody mind trying this out to see if it works for trophies as well? I always thought that works only for messages and friends on/offline statuses.toythatkills said:

Oh man are you going to be disappointedMagnus said:
No, disabling those will not disable trophy notifications. It disables all other notificantion though, at least. It's not possible to disable trophy notifications on PS3, but it's understandable that there's such confusion over this as the option that seemingly does just that is in the settings.
It doesn't work, I can guarantee you this 100%. I keep that option switched off sometimes, and when I do that, I don't get any notifications of who went online/offline or when I get a message from someone. However, trophy notifications still appear.vodka-bull said:
Only solution against them is to give someone else to play through the game first, so when you play it next, you don't see trophies anymore

That's mad!
I bet you also don't know that in SotC...there is a beach which is very similar looking to the one at the end of Ico.

I played it on PS2 last year and it was still dreamy. Now its dreamy but looks good on a HDTV. So yes, it's still the one of the best videogames of all time.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Yeah I'd definitely like to grab him by the collar and show him one of my rooms. They're literally decorated with his work, from that EU ICO cover to Wander standing in front of Gaius.astroturfing said:

I love that he's thinking about this sort of thing. It's important for games to do things that no other medium can do, in as many aspects as possible.Ueda said:
Or at least that's what he says so that he still gets paid for his work, and to doesn't sound arrogant. A think a lot of the subtext of what else he says (like the quote above) or what he does, says something else.astroturfing said:

You're in for a treat, its a very special game. I've played it countless times, the game means so much to me, so very very important.

Mush said:Guys, I can't decide which game to play first!
I know ICO is short butand I haven't replayed SotC fully in quite a while, which is my favourite of the two.timeline wise it comes before SotC
Hold on, are you sure about that (the spoiler)?
Based on...
the ending of SotC, I thought it kinda implied that it's before Ico, not after. The horned baby etc. Unless it's been confirmed that Ico is set before?
I am going to play Ico first for sure.

I think i'm going to do Ico 1st too.

I've played it on the emulator like that. Ico looks/feels weird at 60FPS to be honest. With this release you'll be getting it at 1080p / 30FPS anyway, and in many ways it will look better than it does on the emulator too.Erasus said:

Only ICO will run at a full 1080p. SotC runs at 960x1080 upscaled (or 720p if you prefer that, which according to Digital Foundry you might).

one giant Escort mission filled with block puzzles and horrible combat. I loved the atmosphere and art but thought the game was bad.
SOTC on the other hand was pure awesomeness.

What? 1080p and 720p are both 16:9 resolutions. So that makes no sense.
Nah, they simply couldn't get SotC running nicely at full 1080p. According to DF, it runs pretty much locked to 30 fps at 720p, drops some frames at 960x1080 upscaled, and runs as poorly as the PS2 original (sometimes even worse - DF noted framerates as low as 10 fps on occasion) at 2x720p (3D). And since 1080p is an even higher resolution than 2x720p, that obviously wasn't feasible (although I guess the 3D mode also takes a hit from having to process geometry twice, etc.).
ICO, on the other hand, runs locked to 30 fps in all these display modes.

That's true, yes. On the positive side, they've added better looking motion blur and more precise HDR effect than what you can get through emulator (and 7.1 surround)RoadHazard said:
