The Cult Classic That Secretly Inspired The Game Industry

Ico by Team Ico headed by Fumito Ueda is a super influential and important and foundational game for the gaming industry. Although, despite this its nowhere near brought up in conversation of mainstream gaming as opposed to the game that followed it Shadow of The Colossus. It never really sold well, so I wanted to make this video to analyze Ico and what’s great about it and talk about the games it would influence from indie darlings such as Journey to Giants like The Dark souls games. Hope you enjoy it! ~IP smooches #ico #gaming #analysis Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 0:37 - What is Ico 1:47 - Ueda and the aesthetic of Ico 4:58 - Design By Subtraction 12:58 - Keep Going (Mid Bump) 13:25 - The legacy of Ico 19:38 - Outro 20:02 - Thank You 20:14 - Patreon Soundtrack: Mid Bump Artist: Links: Patreon:
