Leaked Trico footage is real, talk casts doubt on E3 reveal

trico2

VG247 has it on cast iron authority that the Trico footage leaked overnight is real.

Strict anonymity surrounds the information.

The footage, as has now been widely speculated, is over a year old.

We’ve also been told this morning that the game may not sufficiently advanced enough for an E3 reveal.

Great fear surrounds this, Ringo. We’re waiting on comment from Sony.

Yeah, heard the strict anaonymity thing too. Heard the rumorus of this trailer for quite a while/repeated to be honest.

Just you think you know the creative behind the process, and you never do!

As for E3 presence. I am very confident it will be there. But then I don’t believe I shoudl doubt you a second time Pat.

And just for shits and giggles, here’s a concept video of what ultimately became SoTC.

Holy fuck. Is that still the best videogame music in the world or what? Sooooo emotive.

Pud – I was certain it was going to be there until this morning. I’ve only heard it might not be from one person. I’m seriously hoping they show it.

Well, I haven’t heard anything about when.

The guy who was sharing stuff with us, said he knew a release window. But I didn’t want to bother him for it, it was nice enoguh that he teased us with any info.

Despite the high security around the game, it doesn’t half seem to get around. Or perhaps the high security just makes people more inclined to beat it and spread it.

“We don’t comment on rumour and speculation”

or more likely

“Hey, HEY, BARRY! BAARRRRRY! Is Team ICO coming for E3? Uh huh…. RIGHTO! THANKS. He says ‘yeah they’ll be there’”

Hmm. Anyone OTHER than VG247 pimping this as real?

Coming so soon after yesterday’s stunt I think I’d want a more solid confirmation than Pat’s word and an anonymous source.

I’d like it to be real because I’m interested in Team Ico’s output. But I’d rather invest my interest in something that isn’t fake.

If you won’t take my word for it then check out the team ico thread on eurogamers or neogaf or…

Shatner… It’s continuation of the 2007 job page.

There was also a small icon on the SCEI site, which I used as my twitter icon, which matches perfectly. It’s all legit.

Lutz, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are very different games. I don’t expect this oen to feel any less different.

Apparently the boy is now a Space Marine and the Griffin a Winged cyber mech that talk in a gruff voice and makes witty one-liners.

I can’t wait now.

Hopefully there will be a satisfying array of guns and bombs.

They decided that the whole arty thing was a bit contrived, and are now challenging Crackdown for the badass supercop/space marine free raoming with verticality game.

Dannybuoy – i completely agree, my first impression was the same.

So that’s a petulant “No” then in response to my question.

And no need for the infantile retort. If you have a history of hyperbole then you shouldn’t be surprised when your next big claim isn’t swallowed down wholesale. You reap what you sow.

“We’ve also been told this morning that the game may not sufficiently advanced enough for an E3 reveal.”

And THAT is exactly why the footage SHOULD have been leaked.

Fuck you Sony and your bullshit unnecessary delays. If it’s not at E3, you’re just being cunts.

“Fuck you Sony and your bullshit unnecessary delays”

‘unnecessary’ ? Dude, Team Ico take a long time to make the best games. You can’t rush it. Everyone’s saying this won’t be out until end of next year. What’s the point in showing something half done at E3 this year and getting people’s hopes up ?

#45

Shatner

Didn’t you hear? Sony have singled out people and are deliberately antagonising them by either not giving game details or giving too many game details, releasing games too soon, or releasing them too late. They can do any of this but they ONLY do it to piss people off. That’s the only possible reason.

Surely you knew this, 10k? I’m pretty certain I read it somewhere on VG247. So its legitimacy can never be brought into question.
