Early Trailer for Team Ico's 'Project Trico' Leaked?
by Nick Breckon, May 19, 2009 6:12pm PDTWhat is likely an early bit of footage from Team Ico's next project--a work apparently known as "Project Trico"--has leaked by way of PlaystationLifestyle.net.
The video shows a game that blends the companion-based gameplay of Ico with a massive rat-like creature reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus. This combination has previously been hinted at by Team Ico leader Fumito Ueda.
"[Team Ico's new project] might be something similar to what's been done," said Ueda at this year's GDC. "Kind of a middleground... the essence of the game is rather close to Ico."

Saying that, with the power of the new hardware, I was secretly hoping for something a bit more Shadow of the Colossus. Considering what they managed to do with a ps2, the kind of scale they could pull off with ps3 hardware would be something special.
This game was one of the reasons I sold my PS3 for a 360 a while ago. Looks like it's not going to disappoint. Wow.

i have no doubt this is in engine on the ps3. its missing shadows, some of the details dont quite look great (kid's skin is just a single color shader, no texture), but the animation is superb. team ico does not do prerendered cutscenes, and the visuals are in line with the graphics from their previous games. kid in ico was also using a single color shader for his skin, it would seem they're going for a certain look/style with this but its just not quite evolved yet.
this really shows how well their collision/physics and character interaction tech has come along. there's no sign of any precision issues, the characters move against each other and the world better than i would've expected.
