- Subtitled in both English and Japanese. Technically not an ICO commercial, but it is such a glowing endorsement with a lot of heart. This CM is very charming to me.
I do also find it funny how even trailers for The Last Guardian knew the game had taken too long. "Finally."
Thanks for posting this, I love the last guardian
Thank you for sharing this.
That's so sweet. Most ads go for humour but here they decided to take seriously how fans feel about Ico.
I saw a comment under your ''Understanding Yorda - post script'' video where someone mentioned or wished that Ico wold get a 25th anniversary remaster. Honestly i would buy a new gen console just to play it, fingers crossed it happens one day! Keep the videos coming, every new upload from you is something to look forward to!
@@walterwhite8164 Personally, I think my love for this game has pushed my standards to a level that won't be met by any modern game company. Like, my ideal is that they would keep the core of the game exactly the same, but any remake that needs the extra marketing push is going to have bonus content. Shadow's remake for PS4 had bonus content that was really good at being tangential, off to the side, and completely optional. But how do you accomplish anything similar with ICO's linear adventure?
I'm afraid the industry will pressure any development team to fundamentally change the game by adding new areas and puzzles that weren't accounted for in the original design. Maybe the changes will be exciting for newcomers and casual fans, but not for me. I would really prefer that people picking up the game today at least be given the option to experience the journey as it was originally laid out. I might be happiest if it was simply ported to the newer console generation.
@@Mystic_Ode I've been putting off responding to your comment since I saw it, since there's a lot i want to say, and it is worth thought out response. But I'm going to put it off one last time, since I'm extremely tired and was hit 3 times to the face with brass knuckles today (long story, kinda funny though). I'm going to give a worthwhile response to your comment either tomorrow or the day after.
Until then have a good time mate. Looking forward to your next project.
Lord bless you. 🙏🙏
@@Mystic_Ode Hello, I'm sorry for taking so long to respond.

- I feel the same as you, I think that they could subtly expand some areas of the castle, it would need to be done in a way that keeps the original's atmosphere, but urges the player to explore every inch of the castle once again. Another thing they could add upon, even though it would need to be done in a very slight, maybe even unnoticeable in most cases until you pay close attention to it, is Ico and Yorda's bond. Your comprehensive video on Yorda's behavior in the game made me realize that there are many things I have not noticed over the years. Now again, this would need to be subtle things, like for example, what i see as a very sweet mechanic that I've learned about from your video, Yorda following Ico's position when he climbs very high places. Just two more examples that crossed my mind right now would be Yorda's curiosity (sightseeing, chasing birds), and Ico's idle behavior. To close this paragraph off, I can't emphasize enough that these changes would need to feel like they could have been in the original game all along.
''I'm afraid the industry will pressure any development team to fundamentally change the game by adding new areas and puzzles that weren't accounted for in the original design. Maybe the changes will be exciting for newcomers and casual fans, but not for me.''
- The pressure from today's industry would most certainly do harm to any potential remake of Ico. As for your view of adding new things for the purpose of pleasing the casuals and people who never played the original, I 100% agree with you. In the end, I still see how making even the smallest changes could take away from the irreplaceable feeling that one gets when playing Ico.
''I would really prefer that people picking up the game today at least be given the option to experience the journey as it was originally laid out. ''
- I reckon that's what it is all about in the end, honestly I would just love to see new life (while still being as close to the original experience as possible) put into this beautiful amazing game again. But i would rather see it unchanged and in its full beauty, than even one bit of that beauty and serenity taken away.
''I might be happiest if it was simply ported to the newer console generation.''
- I am going to stay optimistic with my view of the future for Ico and assume that we are going to see that one day.
Apologies for taking so long , truly. I've been writing this over the course of two evenings and I am very sleepy now, so forgive me if there are any inconsistencies.
I am curious to hear what you think, i hope this comment crosses your eyes.
Love the work you are doing, thank you for taking time out of your day to respond to comments under videos.
May the Lord bless you! 🙏🙏🙏
@@walterwhite8164 Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I also really hope your injuries are healing alright.
Adding more to the small things fans appreciate about this game would be a welcome addition. I could definitely see more complex, albeit minor, interactions and idle moments between Ico and Yorda. I don’t think anyone would be opposed to that since it doesn’t affect the core gameplay or the Castle’s architecture.
Though speaking on that, after filming my latest video I can think of a few inaccessible places in the original Castle. Just a few tangential, closed off areas that could be made accessible in a remake. But then it falls on the new devs to fill that space with something believable, which is exceedingly difficult. I can’t say with confidence what could be behind each and every closed door, because it requires I understand, at the very least, the broad strokes of the Castle’s history. Which is a tall order for anyone who wasn’t on the original dev team.
I agree with you that the remake might be inevitable. The demand certainly appears to be rising on various social media platforms. I like to keep a pulse on when this game gets any online attention, it’s practically my most common google search. And nearly every mention of the game in recent months has prompted a response of “Maybe we’ll get a remake soon.” or a sentiment along the lines of “Not giving this game a remake alongside SotC was Sony’s biggest mistake”. If someone at Sony is also keeping an eye on that, the wish might be granted. But it’s up to them if the product is really what the dedicated fan base will be satisfied with. We’ll just have to wait and see.
@@Mystic_Ode @Mystic_Ode Hello, I accidentally clicked off the popup window and lost a response that i was writing for a bit over 20 minutes. And I'm sorry if this response feels rushed.
I agree with you, and also think, that minor additions to behavior of Ico and Yorda would be welcome. Both by fans and newcomers alike. On the point of new areas, I can see how new devs could miss the mark. This could also be worsened by current gaming trends.
I'm glad that you are keeping an eye out on any potential attention Ico gets, let's hope that the game will get some much deserved attention. And hey, in the second worst scenario, (first one being no remake/port at all, in my opinion) if the remake misses the mark too far, we still have the original and ps3 versions. While still kind of on topic, I wonder if we will ever get access to some demo and or/dev builds in the future.
I managed to click off again, I hope that I included everything I wanted to say in this summary.
And thank you mate, I'm almost completely healed. Also I'm in the middle of your version comparison video, I'll share my thoughts when i finish it.
Lord bless you and have a nice day! 🙏🙏
So this salaryman did not buy the HD remastered on PS3 huh.
Wonder how he would feel about TLG, I personally don't understand it much.
The story is amazing and not understanding fully is what keeps me interested in it.
