Huge Unofficial Reveal: Project Trico Screenshots, HD Trailer!
Ho-ly...GOD. We always knew we'd be enthusiastic when we finally saw Team ICO's new PlayStation 3 exclusive project, but we could never have guessed just how excited we'd be based on the first batch of screenshots and a high-definition trailer.
Well, thanks to PlayStation Lifestyle, the game called Project Trico has rocketed to the top of our most anticipated list. It's possible that God of War III and Final Fantasy XIII might still be a little ahead of it, but the fact that Trico is instantly in our new Top 5 should tell you something. First, go ahead and view the screenshots, which are impressive enough in their own right. But it's only a taste; the true appeal lies in the teaser trailer, which is nearly four minutes in length and makes us drool. Designer Fumito Ueda hinted that this new game would be a little closer to ICO than Shadow of the Colossus, but fans of the latter will quickly notice one particular element of SotC in this early look at Trico. The scary part? The source says this is from an "early build," and if that's the case, what the hell with the final product look like?! Jeebus! We're envisioning a game like ICO, with puzzles and platforming aspects that are related to your colossal (pun intended) friend clearly seen in the video. We didn't really think something so giant could be cute, but...
This may be a little anti-climactic if you were expecting the official unveiling at E3, which may still happen. But who's really going to complain after viewing this media? Project Trico will...be...excellent. By the way, just in case this is all one big giant hoax, and because we don't have an official press release in our inbox, we can't really call this verified "truth" just yet.

i just watched the trailer, and ALL the hype around the BIG unveiling of this game, im dissapointed.
that big thing looks lame.
i hope it gets better then that, or i wont bother checkin it out.

That might not even resemble the gameplay and could just be cut scenes, but it looks/feels so different from everything else out there.
The people that don't get what the fuss is all about are the same people that can't appreciate something like Flower, and want in your face action all the time, and have no sensitivity for creativity.
As much as I love shooting and killing things, we need more games like this.

I was saying how more art needs to be in games this gen...
Sony has had them ALL!
1st off, Ben...how can this not etch out FFXIII or GoW3?! this looks an incredible amount better than anything ive ever seen!
well, WKC has been knocked off my number 1 most wanted spot.
That trailer is the 1st this gen to bring tears to my eyes.

The game is virtually guaranteed to be an original, moving, engaging experience, which is rare in a sea of CODs and Guitar Heroes.

I would love it if throughout the game it grows up, gets tougher, bigger, and starts to fly. just the development of the animal opens up an enormous array of possibilities, and i would actually be a little disappointed if team ICO didn't take advantage of that

For all of you out there who doubt Team Ico, try and play at least one of their games, after you're a virgin no longer, you will understand why everyone else is so fired up.
About the graphics, they always go for atmosphere, art style, emotional connection and spot on controls. That said, if its a year old it might look even better than this spectacular trailer.
Damn!! now every other game got dimmed down in my mind :-)

Long time PsxExtreme reader, first time poster. I felt this game was worth the praise to actually join a sight and leave a comment...face it, other sight have just been horrible lately with comments. Anyway, Project Trico is the one gaming project I have been waiting for. I felt my haert stop for a second when I read the heading of this article. Ico and SotC are my two favorite games of all time. I think the most appropriate words at this moment are: OMG OMG OMG!

But what's up with making a cartoon kid & that cat/fox/octapus beaked/twig winged/opposum tailed looking thingie.
If that's supposed to be a Griffin, I just don't get how they could be so mistaken, cause here's what Griffin's ARE supposed to look like..
