Namco is publishing this Team Ico “inspired” game from Game Republic, developers of Genji and Folklore.
Interesting?
I think someone forgot to tell Game Republic to copy from franchises that are financially successful.

jeez the only thing that is different is some stylized art. But it looks like it could be a great game.
Will this game have some of those unforgettable moments, moments that are similar to Team Ico’s games?
I feel strange… I can’t place my finger on it, but sometimes isn’t right here…
The monster looks like something from Where The Wild Things Are.
I know that you posted this to show how much of a rip-off it is, and how it will probably be bad…. but it actually just peaked my interest in it haha.
I dont see how people are saying this is a ripoff, both this game and The Last Guardian were being developed at about the same time, so to have them kinda look the same considering this dev was going for the Ico feel, its kinda like we should have seen it coming. It cant be a rip off if they are coming out at the same time frame.
This is kinda eye catching. I have to agree even though it seems like they are ripping off from Ico’s idea…isn’t it still kinda early? I mean Ico isn’t due to be released until april 2010. So if this comes out and is being developed at the same time, who says that this is truly a rip off when it two companies have almost the exact same idea?
Looks Awesome
