...anyhow, in a semi-related piece of news ICO's getting a re-release(in Europe anyway).

Why? Europe already got the version of ICO with the original Chirico-esque cover art and all the bonus features. We're the ones who got cheated with Suikoden-caliber American cover art and a lightsaber-less game.

I figured I might as well revive this topic rather than start a new one but they've confirmed the extras in the European PAL version of Shadow of the Colossus now.

Shadow's PAL packaging will adopt a similar approach to the limited edition ICO pack of several years ago, shipping with a postcard set featuring still images of iconic scenes from the game.

What's more, there'll also be some extra content on the disc - interviews with creative directors Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, unseen concept sketches and in-game stills, and the original trailer for ICO. Which you all totally have to buy this time okay?

The official site will also run a competition asking people to design their own colossus, with the winner hand-chosen by Ueda and in for a "once in a lifetime trip for two to a surprise destination".

On top of all that, SCEUK is going to be doing nationwide promos using building projection tech so that people can play Shadow on 16-metre-wide projection.

Nice to see they're doing something to make up for the later release!

The damn game's expected in at 40 squid on it's release though, but I need a new game to play before the new Zelda game comes out.

I got Shadow of the Colossus on Christmas and only have just now got around to playing it. I think I'm on the 10th or 11th Colossus. This truly is a fantastic game, just the way it tears at your heart strings. Has anyone else felt bad after killing the first few Colossi? They would just wander around an open plain, and there you go to slay them. And while you clinging to one, all it did was try to shake you off; it didn't even try to attack. I've never had a game make me feel like this before. I felt like I was killing a majestic, innocent creature. I think that's why Shadow of the Colossus is so brilliant.

At the point I'm at now, I'm don't feel the same though. I don't know whether it's that I have grown numb, or that the Colossi have begun attacking, and so I feel the need to kill them to survive.

Fuck no. The first one knocked me off of a cliff before I could even get my sword out.

Squid=Quid? Dorset and Scotland are pretty far apart, so that would account for any difference...unless you just mistyped.

No, I use squid for currency, or jellyfish, 100 jellyfish to a squid.

Post by **Crazy Penguin** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 7:56 pm

And five squid to a scuba diver.

Shit, 4000 jellyfish for a freaking video game?

The surprise location: Ueda's cock.
