Back in the day of the PS2 one of the best games ever released on the platform was ICO a gorgeous little platform adventure game about a little kid with horns trying to escape a castle. It was breathtakingly beautiful and a real joy to play incorporating a nice little partner mechanic between the kid and this woman he is helping escape who is being chased by shadows.
A few years later the same team came out with another great game "Shadow of the Colossus" where a young man tries to fight massive monsters to save a dying girl. The scale in this was amazing towering beasts you had to scale up into the sky to try and kill it really squeezed unknown wonders out of the aged clunky ps2.
Rumours of a third game have been abound for ages and then this footage for project trico turns up it has the same sort of style as the pervious games the same shared quest idea and the the same sorts of mechanics and it matches a concept art shot used to recruit for the team.
This footage is supposedly a year old so it may have changed immeasurably but it gives me hope that finally PS3 will get an exclusive it can be proud of. Rat pigeon looks like a wonderful new mascot for the machine.

Blimey! The first game that makes me a bit gutted not to own a PS3. I loved ICO, never played SoC... This looks like a blinder as well.
