Beware the Frog
There was a time when I wanted to make a blog about video games, and this is that blog. I’m not really posting anymore, so there’s no point in this, but I can’t quite bring myself to closing this blog.

The next game of Team Ico finally leaked?
I don’t know what to think. That video seems way too fucked up, and too polished, to be a hoax — especially the last third, which looks like a crappy camcorder video that a random YouTube dad shot of their kid playing with their giant birdmonkeydog in the living-room.
Considering that this ought to be an early dev’s-eyes-only video (there’s some rough textures, modeling and aliasing — which would tend to prove that it is indeed coming out live from a game engine) and that one of the main qualities of Shadow of the Colossus was how far it pushed the PS2’s graphics chip beyond its capabilities (and below regular framerate), the final version should be something.
Clearly, the whole point of that video is to demonstrate the creature’s animations, and damn does it look real.
