Team Ico: new release 'coming soon'


This article over at Kotaku made me laugh:

"Sometimes it seems as though Team Ico are taking the 'explain nothing' ambiance of their games a little too much to heart.

When asked if Fumito Ueda’s followup to Ico and Shadow of the Colossus would be ready by thi year's Tokyo Game Show, Sony Worldwide's Shuhei Yoshida could only say "I cannot tel, but But I can say that they’ve been working very hard since the release of Shadow of the Colossus."

Well, I should flippin' well hope so. But come on, a little detail about the game would be nice. Is it long? Short? Is it 3D? Does it have corners? How does it taste? Anything?

“Soon you’ll see,” says Yoshida. Gaaah.

All we can say for sure is that it is out of critical production and will be ready 'soon'. Honestly, if they ever hold a proper press event for this thing they will probably make journalists traverse a mysterious landscape populated by mute PR reps to get to it. It will be shrouded in mist, and there will be limited internet access."
