Well, wheat actually. Not grass, but hey, anything that grows out of the ground in a grass-like manner and is able to illustrate just how good a videogame can look, by blowing in the wind and so on, is fine by us.
Just take a look at these new Wanda and the Colossus/Shadow of the Colossus screens released overnight by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan. They are again some of the most spectacular static images of any game we’ve ever seen. And we’ve seen quite a lot of games…
SOTC did disappoint some pundits when an early version went on show at E3 in May of this year. The reason you didn’t hear too many people complaining about its choppy frame rate and lack of detail was, we think, that people are scared to say anything negative about the game. You’re not really allowed to, you see. It’s art, don’t you know, and if you can’t appreciate it you must be stupid. And no one likes being stupid…
Though it’s worth bearing in mind that the version was, from memory, only 50% complete, so it becomes more than possible to have utmost faith in what the ICO team will eventually deliver.
Enjoy the new screens and click here for a further 40 screens in our database.

I always liked the look of this game, I just hope Sony waves it marketing flag to sell it this time round.

They say September in Japan I think, though A Euro release this year was promised... Here's hoping. Did you follow the link to the older screens - we have pretty much everything released from SOTC I think. :-)
