The guys at PS3Informer claim that one of their "secret agents" was able to extract this from Sony Computer Entertainment's Team Ico studio. They claim that it is from Shadow of the Colossus 2, or possibly the other Team Ico title. You tell us your thoughts.

Sony Revealing 20 New Exclusives This Year?

Alex Rowe of Team ICO Gamers received a hot tip from his friend who works at Sony Computer Entertainment. They were arguing about which of the three consoles will have the best line-up this year. His friend then revealed that Sony has 20+ exclusives lined up that they haven't even revealed yet.

After some begging for information, his friend revealed some of the titles on the way. Project Siren (makers of the Forbidden Siren franchise), Team Saru (creators of the Ape Escape series) and Team ICO are three of the studios who're getting ready to reveal their new projects this year. After some more pushing, he told me that all he knows about Team ICO is that the team is working on two games, both for the PLAYSTATION 3.

It's gonna be one long year.

Surfer Girl: SSX 5, Kane & Lynch 2, Team Ico, More

Surfer Girl is at it again. This time, she discusses thing such as SSX 5, Kane & Lynch 2 (oh no), Team Ico titles, and more. As usual, the numbers relating to the PLAYSTATION 3 are bolded below.

1) SSX 5 is dead, rivalry between PS360 snowboarding titles of Montreal studios still existent.
2) Mother/Earthbound series coming to Wii and/or DS stateside, very possibly next year.
3) Team Ico is working on two titles (maybe three), one major and the other(s) smaller. The smaller one(s) is/are more like Echochrome and does/do not take place inside the Ico canon.
4) Kane & Lynch 2 is still happening.
5) Also to look forward to next year is "Shrek going to unprecedented video game territory." Using skills of deduction, it is either a music title or a quality title. It is fairly obvious that the latter is definite no, so it probably a musical title.
6) Even more exciting unprecedented occurrence in interactive entertainment is the release of a new Leisure Suit Larry title and a new Sex & the City titles in the same year for mobile communication tools, computing devices and other things.
7) A2M is working on Indiana Jones for people who cannot stand to play consoles with the number three in the name.
8) EA's Wii Balance Board title ain't SSX.
9) Cyclomite is absolutely amazing.
10) When is Rage coming out?
Second half of 2009.

Well there you have it, news straight from Surfer Girl. I was looking forward to Rage though. Sad to see we have to wait so long.

OPM November: Team ICO Talks

A couple of Team ICO fanatics sent a couple hundred of e-mails in to OPM about Team ICO, and they stalked the team for them:

"Me: "I have just read the PlayStation Legend page on Ico at the back of OPM, issue nine and can't stop wondering what Fumito Ueda and the rest of the team will come up with on PS3. I'm a big fan of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, like many others in the PlayStation community, and we're all waiting impatiently for the day when the next game will be announced. It's pretty unnerving that the only thing we know about Team ICO's next effort so far is that there is going to be one. Any chance of some inside info, OPM?"

Them: "We asked Sony boss Kaz Hirai what was going on with Team ICO a couple of months back. As he was pleading ignorance, one of the other execs present blurted out. "I'm pretty sure they're doing the sequel." Our fearless reporter immediately asked. "What, the sequel to ICO or Shadow of the Colossus?" Then the room filled with knockout gas..."

Nothing is set in stone so far, it may be a sequel of some sort.
