The Team Ico Collection, no longer a distant rumour and now very much fact (and coming soon) is being handled by Bluepoint – thanks Tim Moss – the guys behind the wonderful, masterful HD remakes of God of War.
It looks like the Collection is shaping up nicely, write-ups from a recent press event in New York showcasing some of Sony’s upcoming games are starting to hit the net and Gamepro’s impressions of Fumito Ueda’s classic double act are largely positive.
The idea is two-fold: to introduce new gamers to two of the best PS2 games ever made, and secondly to refresh hardcore PlayStation fans before The Last Guardian (from the same developer) hits a little later next year. Both remakes are now in HD, and will feature 3D for those lucky enough to have compatible sets.
The games are timeless masterpieces, and haven’t been dulled much by the generational gap we’re all used to, so we’re hugely looking forward to seeing what Bluepoint have managed to do in terms of the resolution jump.
The Team Ico Collection will feature Trophies, but no ‘gimmicks’ so don’t expect Move support.

Good point. I (regretably) flogged my SoTC on ebay and it was a nice collectors edition with postcards to boot. Kept hold of ico as couldn’t bear to part with it and that was only a basic edition. Day one purchase indeed.
