From genDESING they have published a curious video of the development of the classic signed by Fumito Ueda.
This December the 20th anniversary of ICO, the classic for PlayStation 2 that marked a before and after in video game development. In fact, tribute has been paid in different ways in some media, such as the beautiful cover of Famitsu, and those responsible have wanted to continue revealing details about the initial conception of the title.
One of the things that has attracted the most attention is the publication of a video of the first ICO prototype that you can see on these lines. From genDESING they have wanted to share this historic piece to take a look at the first steps and models that were carried out in what is already one of the most influential games in history.
The prototype runs on PlayStation, although it was finally released on PS2In this way, we can see how it looked there by 1998 on the first PlayStation, although it was finally released on December 6, 2002 on PS2. The jewel of Fumito Ueda takes a minimalist approach, narrating the journey of a cursed boy who finds a girl named Yorda. Together, they try to escape the shadows that are chasing them.
ICO is one of the most important works in the history of the video game, and it has left its mark on more than one and two geniuses of the current world. Hidetaka miyazakiFor example, he commented a few days ago that it was the game that changed his life, and that he would not have dedicated himself to development if he had not been able to test Ueda’s work. And you, what memories do you keep from ICO?
