Sony have confirmed to TheSixthAxis that the recently uncovered (and much rumoured) HD remasters of both Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are indeed real.
In a statement released to us (and, evidently, others) a spokesperson for the European branch simply said that they can “confirm that [they] will be releasing an HD version of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus” and that we should expect more information “during the Media Briefing at TGS tomorrow.”
Rumours have surrounded the updates to two of the PS2′s most respected titles for some time, with TheSixthAxis claiming a Q1 2011 date some months back.
Some are now suspecting that the conference tomorrow at the Tokyo Game Show might offer at least additional surprise.
We’ll be reporting anything we hear.

“will be releasing an HD version of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus”
= packaged together
otherwise it would have read more like..
“will be releasing HD versions of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus”

You forgot the obligatory announcement of a new feature or two for GT5. Though I guess your crafty catch-all “And much moar!” covers it. Well played :P

I semi hope that they are separate. I think I would only want SotC.

Dunno, I played ICO first time round, but still want it again in HD.. So having them bundled together would give me an excuse to get both.

The two as a retail bundle, with them individually on the Store maybe?

Additional surprise? Move support then if anything. Couldn’t care less if it is.
Would be good if the ‘surprise’ was a demo of Last Guardian on the collection, which I’d say is pretty likely but you never know.
