I was wondering if this game is a game that they just decided to proceed on making because it had so much people asking for it, or if it's something that they're really passionate about (as opposed to both), though it could be both of course. I just hope it turns out good, though I do kind of feel like they picked it back up because people wanted it, rather than them actively working on it all this time. I'm currently, as I type this, playing the Ico and Colossus Collection. I went back to it since this game's coming pretty soon. I played Ico when the collection came out, and I don't think it really has much to do with when it originally came out, because there's a lot I appreciate from it, but the game was both boring to me, and more than enough times frustrating to find what I had to do next.

Not necessarily stuck for super long, but ten minutes stuck at most was annoying. In the end I found that I just didn't like it that much, but I still like aspects of it. To this day, I think it holds up artistically, animation wise, and the sound is still perfectly adequate. The game controls well enough as well. On the other hand, I played Shadow of the Colossus when it came out, and I loved it. I only beat it once though, then played through about half of it perhaps five times on hard until I didn't want to play anymore due to just wanting to move onto something else; I still really like it though regardless. The only part of that game I found annoying was the final boss, because I fell off a handful of times, so it was annoying trying to get back up, and it's always most frustrating when I'm at the end of the game and just want to beat it.

One last thing, do you think these games are in the same universe, or are they more spiritual? I like to think of them taking place on the same planet, just in different times in different places perhaps.
