ico and shadow of the colossus hd collection?

kinger8938 · 8 Feb 2013 at 13:35

Ive hesrd good things about these games and this collection!

Ive never played them, but am interested in trying this out!

Impressions?

Apparently the 3d is really well implemented too which would be a bonus as ive yet to play a game through in 3d

They're both excellent.

I think I prefer Ico over Colossus, but for many it is the opposite.

I would encourage anyone to buy the HD collection, but would give one warning, the control scheme is slightly old school, you may struggle with it at first. But I would encourage you to work with it until it is second nature.

At that point the game, the art, the story will take over and you're left with a pair of exceptional games.

Still probably better than the vast majority of games that came out this generation

Worth getting just to play Shadow of the colossus at a good framerate.

They are both classics well worth getting.

Ok thanks

excited now! Are they long games?

Two tips for new people to Shadow of the Colossus which I would never have even thought of doing.

1. Eat the food in the trees and on the ground to increase your health

2. Shoot the black salamanders on the save shrines to increase your grip meter

Both will last 10-20 hours ish. Ico is in my top 10 games of all time, SotC comes very close.

Another tip - don't bother buying them now. Get a PSplus sub instead, as they're on the free games list for June

it's just the white tailed lizards that you want, not the black ones

Yes and it appears they are not just at the shrines either but can be anywhere. I found one in a small rocky outcrop just now.

Just downloading this thanks for PS+. It does look to be quite good, and even though I had a PS2 for years, never played this one...

You're in for a treat.

And like the God of War Collection, they received an update (along with Vita firmware) for enhanced Remote Play. Before this update, Remote Play was a bit of a joke, but it's now very playable and quite impressive. If you want a taster of what PS4's universal Remote Play feature is going to be like on Vita (which will be even better), I recommend trying it out.

kinger8938 · 31 May 2013 at 11:09

^ wow i didnt know this, will try it

thanks for the tip

Considering getting a VITA, there is one in the members market I'm really giving serious thought into making an offer for.

I'm from the looks of it going to be going down the the PS4 route, and VITA remote play has now been made mandatory for PS4 games excluding PS eye titles..

Not sure, there might be a PS4 vita bundle, anyhow I'll give ICO and Shadow of the Colossus a go tonight as I left my PS3 on last night to download. PSN can be a tad slow at times..
