*inspires thousands of dogshit indie games*
Often imitated but never duplicated
wtf is ICO
>>719529368ICO never did moron. Earthbound your favorite tard copied it and called it Undertale after copying all other Japanese arcade game mechanics and music.
>>719529368yeah, that's pretty much the blueprint
>>719529368there are like 50 bullshit nintendo games that have more indie copycats than ico
Earthbound is one of a kind despite it's influence
>>719529667Correct, Ico didn't inspire indie developers, it inspired Hidetaka Miyazaki while he was working as a account manager, and he decided to enter the video game industry at the age of 29 for FromSoftware since it was the only studio willing to hire old people. It also inspired Neil Druckmann.
