New Project TRICO details

Last week, we made a post that contained a breaking video of apparently a new project from Team Ico, that first surfaced at PlayStation Lifestyle. The game would be that of the third game being made in the ICO universe, codenamed TRICO. Well, it looks like another PlayStation-centric site, PS3 center, has found out some more details on the Team ICO’s latest project.

Here are a couple of the details that PS3 center has provided, but click over at the link in the first paragraph to see the full story with the rest of the details.

-The ‘trailer’ was never actually meant to be a trailer of any kind.  It was an internal tech video, meant to show off what other Sony internal studios were working on.  Theatrical aspects, such as the cinematography, aren’t necesarily representative of the title, and that’s also why it has copyrighted music, instead of an original compositon.

-Internet chatter slates the video as being a year old.  While we aren’t clear on the exact age of the video, it’s much closer to 2 years.  It was shown at Sony’s Santa Monica studios in November 2007 as part of the annual GameShare event, where Sony’s internal studios show off their projects to the other branches of the world.  It reached SCEE’s offices in the winter of 2007 as well. It was also shown alongside a playable demo of Heavy Rain, and that demo was NOT the taxadermist demo shown last year, but a different one altogether.
