Rumour: Shadow of the Colossus and Ico Bundle Coming to PS3
by Alice O'Connor, Sep 13, 2010 2:30pm PDTA Walmart.com listing has sparked a fresh round of rumours that Team Ico's much-beloved PlayStation 2 exclusives Ico and Shadow of the Colossus will be revamped and re-released in a bundle for the PlayStation 3.
Anonymous "industry sources" have told Eurogamer that the bundle is indeed real and will be released in March or April of 2011 for around $40, the price Walmart lists too.
Sony has previously expressed interest in releasing more revamped bundles along the lines of the God of War Collection and The Sly Collection. SotC and ICO were named as much-requested candidates for revamps by Shuhei Yoshida, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios president, in a June 2010 interview with Joystiq.
Were such a bundle to be in the works, this week's Tokyo Game Show--where our intrepid Garnett Lee is on the ground--would be as likely a place as any to announce it. Team Ico's next game, The Last Guardian for PS3, will be on display at the show.

However, I'm not sure just ramping up the render resolution of SotC would do it much justice. If anything, the game was carefully designed to look great based the constraints of the system [1], and I fear that additional resolution may as well just make defects more visible. I hope they can at least have original textures, or less mipmap, or use the higher-res models, or something.

It makes perfect sense, and there was whatever recent Japanese presentation where they showed up what was clearly old and then new (and widescreen) shots of Ico.
