Team ICO reveals very little at GDC 09

Outside of a Final Fantasy VII remake, is there anything that PS3 owners have been anticipating more than the announcement of Team ICO’s next project? It’s hard to argue otherwise, but gamers and media alike expected something earth shattering during Fumito Ueda’s panel at GDC yesterday. Unfortunately, this simply wasn’t the case.

While answering a question from Grasshopper Manufacture boss, Goichi "Suda51" Suda, Ueda stated that his bosses were in the room listening and that he couldn’t say much. However, he did mention that the project – refered to as "Trico" –  is somewhere in-between ICO and Shadows of the Colossus. "It will be similar to those past games, the essense is close to ICO," he said.

That’s where it stopped. Nothing more was mentioned of the game and now it’s up to fans to wait until the first week of June to see if Team ICO may potentially announce their title at E3.
