The Internet is Freaking Out About: Trico

This is all at the unconfirmed rumor stage right now, but PlayStation LifeStyle claims to have footage of the long awaited Trico, from developer Team ICO. Looks pretty legit from here. Apparently Trico stars a boy and his giant hawk/rat/dog.
UPDATE: If chatter on NeoGAF is to be believed (probably yes in this case), this footage is over a year old and the music is placeholder.

Wow, just wow! This is worthy of "bang on your keyboard"-levels of hype, so excuse me for a minute... dafjdaslfjdsakllasdfOMFGOG1!!!!!~!!!!111 OK, back. PS3 exclusives are killing me this year. Hopefully, the game will come out 2011 because that will be around the time I'll be able to buy one. +_+ Am I crazy or did EGM dub the next Team Ico game "The Queen" for a while? Different Team Ico game? 2 Team Ico games are coming out? What's the story behind that, ex-EGM guys?

If this is legit I'm interested to see how the game plays. It kind of looks like a mix between Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, except the Colossus is actually your friend. Also, were those arrows in the giant...thing? Anyone else notice that?

I was really excited during the first minute. Sadly, I'm not a fan of gene-splicing, especially when it comes to combining a rat, dog, and a dead-bird. I just hope Team Ico's intent isn't to try and make me love that freak. Excuse me while I go vomit until I pass-out.

That matches the screenshot that we got a while back. THIS IS AWESOME I cannot express in words how f#@ing awesome this is. It reminds me of the Neverending Story. The gameplay seems to be more ICO with the best bits of Shadow of the Colossus thrown in. Am I dreaming to dare for a 2009 date? Thanks Demian!!!

That Haradog is strange and all, but it's got nothing against the creepy koala/tiger/giraffe hybrid the San Francisco Zoo is using in advertisements across the city...

*Nerdgasm* On a side note, could Playstation LifeStyle's logo be any larger and more distracting?

Watching it, makes me think of that as the supposed 17th colossus. For some reason, I feel it's gonna have a Ratatouille like vibe(odd referrance I'm aware) but essentially using that creature essentially for everything since the kid himself is possibly too weak to accomplish anything. That's just my take. If it's real, I'm curious what the release date is.

It doesn't look right to me. The Cat Dragon thing looks odd..like it doesn't fit. Still, any news is good news.

So its a pet trainer? I've never played a Team Ico game, but this seems has a Miyazaki vibe to it. It reminds me of his "Castle in the Sky". Pretty cool.

I trust Team ICO gameplay wise. I'm sure by the end of the game everybody will be loving that creature even more so than Agro.

If the stars and planets align and that new PS3 model is for real, with a price drop, I might just have to invest in one in order to play this game, 'cause I loved Shadow of the Colossus.

That's a face only a mother could love. It looks legit to me. The aesthetics alone scream Team Ico.

Well... that was awesome! The visuals look very pretty, and though it does look like a cross between Ico and SotC, there doesn't seem to be any hint about how it will play. PS: I don't think the "pet" looks that fugly. Just different. :D

I still think there will be multiplayer, and a friend can control the "pet"

Damn, a "-5" score on my comment. That hurts guys/gals. I was clearly exaggerating how utterly disgusting and vomit-inducing that monstrosity is. It's obviously cute, rat-tail and all.

Lewis Gonnell said:[quote]Watching it, makes me think of that as the supposed 17th colossus.[/quote] I was thinking that myself when I watched the video. Especially, because at the beginning the 'thing' was attached to a chain. Maybe, the creature was being kept so there wouldn't be an all out colossi genocide. I do agree with most of the users that this thing is really ugly. I am excited to see if this thing turns out to be a red herring or if it is the real creature in the game. It is ugly though!
