Famitsu magazine has managed to nab a quick chat with Team ICO’s Fumito Ueda regarding the developer’s forthcoming PlayStation 3 title.

According to Ueda, the unnamed project will be based primarily on the concept of “physical connection” in a similar manner to both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus on PlayStation 2. 

As fans of both games will no doubt recall, ICO was based on two characters holding hands, while Shadow of the Colossus centred on holding onto a Colossus. Both functions were executed by holding down a specific button.

We’ll have more on Ueda’s mystery project as it breaks.

    Cant wait for what they are hiding beneath their blanket of awesomness! I absoluteley adored Ico and played the demo for SoTC (I played that demo countless times over. I cant recall why i didnt get the full game. This nostalgia has just inspired me to get that full version...who said PS2 was dead? =D )
