Never played either, but I've heard nothing but good things, especially concerning SOTC.
So
.I would cream my panties if this happened, i played through SOTC not long ago again and still loved it and was as amazed as i was the first time. In HD it would be absolutely insane.
ICO i was never too fond of, couldn't get going with it.

I only pray it will be as epic as this:
What the feck.
SOTC was amazing.
Hehe, Mega64 are brilliant.
A good excuse to post some of the best music from SOTC, such a good soundtrack made even better by the fact that the majority of the game all you hear is your horses footsteps.

It makes sense with the release of The Last Guardian coming up, same as they did with GOW, and it only took around 15 weeks to do.
Ico was brilliant, but my copy glitched and I couldn't finish it.
Shadow of the Colossus was excellent too.

ICO was absolutely amazing. First game I ever sat and played through over a weekend, cancelling other plans and becoming a proper geek. I was about 14.
It will be interesting as to how TLG fits into all of it.
I always wanted to play Shadow of the Colossus. Looked a brilliant game. May try and find a cheap copy of it.
ICO was great. Never played SotC, but I'll download it if they put it out.
Wow, I've watched mates play through both games and always wanted then to make a next gen version. I'll settle for a re-release through the ps store.
Wow I remember the campaign they started to get remakes of these two games, guess it paid off.
Ico truly was incredible and way ahead of it's time, this is really good news seeing as I'd lost my disc and the game's worth an absolute fortune now.

Wasn't the point of SotC to go around killing innocent giants whose only crime was to be, well, big?
Pretty much, but you at least you had a motive. And most of the time when one of them saw you they did try to kill you so i'm going to go with self defence.
One of my favourite moments in any game is when you first see what you're up against.
It's a little more complicated than that. You did have to kill them, it wasn't for self defence.
I did say he had a motive Weaste, and a pretty good one at that. Although going off the word of a disembodied voice in a temple based on a legend was never going to end well.I really hope that the HD
helps show the deterioration of the main character more (was he called Ranger?). Because i only noticed when i played a second time how pale he was at the end of the game and how there were little marks on him.
SOTC ftw!
Wanderer wasn't it? I think that it will be far easier to pull off SOTC in HD than ICO, which was quite an early title. A little more complicated than GOW I feel, as ICO I think would need changes to the artistic assets.
SOTC seems like such a bizarre idea for a game, it's amazing that it seems to have worked so well. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say a bad word about it.
I don't know a great deal about ICO.

Fumito Ueda is one of the jewels of the video game industry IMO, mainly due to his originality, nobody else really comes close, but maybe they are not allowed to do so. Even though none of his games have every been blockbusters in terms of sales, Sony still gives him quite a free hand to do whatever he wants to do.
It is true, i was told about it when it first came out and thought it sounded shite. There are only 16 enemies in the entire game, you spend most of your time wandering around (cheers Weaste, don't know where i got Ranger from). To kill the boss is as simple as stabbing it repeatadly, i couldn't get my head round the fuss.
When i finally got around to playing it i saw exactly what it was all about, it's been said before but it's the closest a game has ever come to being a piece of art.
ICO though i i didn't get on with, i never got far and so will be seeing that basically for the first time.
Hopefully, we'll get a release date for this at E3 in a few weeks time.
Also a bit more information as to how it fits with SOTC and ICO.

I've had a 2nd hand copy of SOTC in my draw for about 3 years now and have never gotten around to even trying it.
My PS3 is one of the backwards compatible ones too. May have to give it a try... if I can peel myself away from the other 12 games I have in a pile to get through since I bought an xbox as well to play the exclusive stuff.
Having the best of both worlds but only limited time to play is a right bummer.

I've a pile of games still in their cellophane wrappers also.

Interesting, still waiting for a bit more confirmation.
finished SOTC for the first time yesterday, great game if somewhat easy, ICO is the better one
not sure about HD remakes, part of their charm are the bleached graphic stylings
still, they're certainly games everyone should play at some point

Could never really get into ICO but loved Shadow of the Colossus, would be awesome tot play it again in HD.
I imported GOW Collection, and will do likewise with this, if needs be.
Nice! But will it only be available in Japanese?
That'd be a bugger.

This will be a worldwide release. It's now the third annouced/released remastering of popular PS2 games, with GOW being the first, and the Sly Cooper collection available shortly. They either couldn't crack the PS2 backwards compatibility through software nut, or they prefer to do it this way to make more cash. I don't think that it costs them much to do, the two GOW games were converted in 15 weeks each.
Interesting however that Sony Japan just filed a patent for an external device (read USB stick or similar - maybe a PlayTV sized device) to give PS3 hardware PS2 B/C.

Terrific news, lost my ICO copy some years back
Good stuff Weaste, i like the Sly Cooper games back in the day so i might grab them as well. The only thing i hope they do differently from the GoW games is that they upgrade the video sections as well. It looked strange going from HD Kratos to slightly blurry Kratos in a video, then back again.
I think that the release date for the Sly collection is November. Three games on one disc.
