Imagine this game never existed. What would change?
>>740196026If this trash were never made we never wouldve got shadow of the colossus and a few hideo kinojima entries
>>740196026I wouldn't be as happy
>>740196026Is this the original escort simulator? Probably would have delayed certain game concepts by a few years but it would have been made eventually.
Skip to 4:00 for some early footagehttps://youtu.be/cj1r9pyllBQ?si=EBR9T3dbrH1EE1XH
>>740196026Dark Souls would have never been made
uncharted doesn't exist and movie games never take off
Absolutely nothing. Everyone who says it influenced them is full of shit. It's like when movie directors claim that their favorite movie is some 40s french flick 99% of the population has never even heard of. I would genuinely wager my balls that ico has had less of an impact on gaming than something like a random fucking sportsball game on genesis.
>>740196026Interactive movies would have never caught on
There are a few graphical differences herehttps://youtu.be/upQGylW03lU?si=MCzrKnOhWRxq8amM
>>740196026No dark souls or demons souls for one, gaming would be easier than ever
I want more. Hope it happens somedayhttps://youtu.be/ZrrIywvIYLA?si=VIvnIChCziVuQFDE
I doubt anything would have changed. I'm sure games like The Last of Us were more inspired by Resident Evil 4 than Ico, and you can't tell me with a straight face that RE4 wouldn't have existed without Ico.
>>740196026probably not much honestly. we'd lose out on SotC but I can't really think of many games inspired by Ico.
>>740196026Tried to play this garbage, it was fucking awful.
The Fukushima nuclear reactor wouldn't have broke and it would have been safely decommissioned.
I remember renting and playing ICO and thinking it was all supposed to be in black and white because the SCART lead wasn't plugged in correctly, and thought it was just artistic like that.
>>740197438Ashley would probably not be a companion. Same with Emma in MGS 2.

>producer of Ico and SotCKenji Kaido deserves some credit. Ueda was a newbie, but Kaido had experience. He worked for many years at Taito Corporation before joining Sony
>>740198595Kenji Eno is the real nigga for pushing Ueda to do more than just animation.
>>740196026that other thread would still be up
>>740198889Ueda once said that he chose to join Sony because he loved PaRappa the Rapper
>>740198312CHIGYUA
nothing
>almost 10 years since TLG and Ueda's next game doesn't have a name yetIt better be good
Jinji Horagai was skilled
