10 Coolest Video Game Secrets From Imported Saves
9. ICO Symbols In Shadow Of The Collossus
Part of what makes the development studio Team Ico so beloved is their unique approach to gaming. They have a wonderful grip on intimacy and subtlety, and while they're no stranger to colossal moments (hey, hey), they still make sure their games are thoughtful and sentimental. It's that approach that makes small details like this so wholesome.
If you boot up a copy of their classic title Shadow of the Colossus and have a save file for Ico on the same memory card, not only do you have exceptional taste, but you'll also be treated to a tiny detail thanks to this connection. If you look closely, you'll see that the mark on your horse Agro's forehead will resemble the hornlike letter I from the Ico logo.
Again, this is such a small detail and one that would probably go over most players heads. But, it's a deliciously quiet nod to the prestige of Team Ico and is a fitting reward for the more eagle-eyed fans.
