If you haven't played through this game, stop reading this thread and PLAY THROUGH IT ALREADY! It's truly a unique and moving experience.
When I played the original
SotC on PS2, the ending showed
very clearly that
the baby was male
-- which is somewhat important to the plot and
the implied possibility that it's related to Ico
. In the remake, that bit is obscured for no good reason. Searching Google, I can't find anything confirming this.
Is it possible there were multiple versions on PS2 and this was censored
before the HD remaster? Are people really worried about seeing that? If it's acceptable in other art forms, but not in video games, then how are we supposed to treat video games as art?
Previewing this thread before I post it, I really wish spoiler tags were in-line and not collapsible blocks. This is annoying.
