Recreating Team Ico's Greats

To:  Sony Computer Entertainment and Team Ico

To Sony Computer Entertainment, Team Ico, and whom it may concern,

We, the undersigned, do support and show our appreciation of all continuing efforts and advancements forward on the updating of Team Ico's video games for the Playstation 2 Console, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

We understand the effort it takes to update and create a video game, and we understand the need for profit and the need to stay afloat as a company.

Therefore, we pledge our support to the creation of an update to Ico and Shadow of the Colossus to recreate their prowess in a fashion that is more suitable to the audiences of today by updating the graphical design of the two aforementioned games to today's standards.

The standard of today's game includes high-definition graphics (preferably 1080p), smooth models and lines (via advanced anti-aliasing), support for 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound, and online support (possibly including features such as leaderboards, video sharing, replays, and downloadable content).

By recreating the stunning visual scenery of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, we know that not only will the community of supporters of Team Ico be interested in purchasing the product, but we also know that it will be accessible to many more individuals, and gain a new acceptance and audience around the world.

SCE has taken the initiative to recreate God of War in stunning high definition graphics, and has made the wise decision to release the God of War and God of War II in a well priced, well designed model that will appeal to a whole new generation of gamers, and will bring many gamers who experienced the original back into the game.

We believe the relationship of SCE and Team Ico is crucial to the success and development of the project, and therefore we support the recreation of these great games to be exclusive to the Playstation 3 console, as we feel it is the best prepared and able video game console to recreate the feelings and beauty of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

We support the sanctioning of Team Ico or some other, related and approved developer, by SCE to update the scenes, music, and magic of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus while continuing to prepare the Last Guardian for release on the Playstation 3 console.

We leave it to the designers to make the best decision to bring the game to life by today's standards through online or retail distribution.

Thank you for your continuing support of Team Ico, and we hope to be able to support you in the future, as you continue to design and create wonderful, beautiful games.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
