1:42:52 I just noticed, when he’s really close to the horse, he calls to him as if he were right next to him, but as he gets further away, he yells, and then once he’s far enough, he whistles. Really sweet attention to detail, if it’s actually intentional.

[@swissidol8403]

Definitely. Works the same way in the 2005 original.

[@sunshinegamer1981]

I'm sure it was intentional. It wouldn't make sense for Wander to just talk to Agro when Agro is half the map away, running to catch up to Wander, and I believe Team Ico knew that.

[@probsnooneyouknowtbh3712]

They do it even more so in The Last Guardian. I remember counting at least 3 or 4 different tones of voice that the boy calls Trico depending on the situation. He even whispers his name if he's in a really dark area or there are guards nearby.

[@UmareKaware]

Making a game like this in the PS2 era is really mindblowing, and I'm fairly certain it is only possible _because_ the world is completely barren, so all the console had to render was the collossus (and probably why you can't see them in the distance). However, with modern day computers and development resources, I think making a game with moving and climbable giants like this isn't super difficult anymore. There isn't anything like it being built, because it would ultimately be compared do Shadow of the Colossus, and wouldn't be as stylish. It's a really high bar to beat.

[@loganryan1017]

There are a few games where you fight massive beasts, but none quite like this one.

[@BM-jy2gh]

It would be sort of like Breath of the Wild, with the Divine Beasts and everything, and Hyrule Castle, but with 16 colossi. That would be really cool now that I think about it.

Sean's quick comment about how much emotion used to be ingrained in Wander's face, how it looked like he was troubled even beyond this scenario, has really made me rethink the character and add so many layers to him. The idea that he's not just """a stupid kid who made a bad choice for young love""" and had more layers of other awful stuff going on that we'll never really know about, that he made this choice not just because he loves Mono in... some way (romantic? familial? friends?) but because he was acting out on deeper, unknowable motivations that tied into it all

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Avion, Phalanx, Hydrus, Dirge, Quadratus, and Gaius are the coolest colossi. Griffin, Phoenix, Spider, Worm are ones I really wished made it into the game. 20 colossi definitely sounds better than 16, right guys?

[@Chippur]

Yeah

[@HailKosm]

I mean definitely would have been nice to have had all of the 24 original colossi. Devil, Griffin, Phoenix, Roc, Saru, Sirius, Spider and Worm. You can actually find the location of 6 of the 8 unused and modeled colossi. Saru and Griffin were never placed on the finished map. Saru was an albino monkey that you had to fight in a cave and he would be hanging from the ceiling. Griffin's test area seems to indicate you would have had to use fire to scare the colossus into exposing its weakpoints. Griffin's fight would have probably been too much like the Celosia fight which is why it was cut. Spider was actually in an early demo version and was cut because it required wander to make horizontal slashes while on horseback which was scrapped during development because it was too janky. Generally most of the unused colossi were scrapped because they were having difficulty implementing and balancing the combat strategy. Some of the cut colossi were also cut for redundancy and for time. Fumito Ueda said that he had originally planned for 48 colossi but cut it down to around 24 to model and then the final 16 based off strategy. The final colossi went through a lot of development, originally being like a bull colossi and then later being redesigned into the towering immobile colossi malus.

He literally knew nothing more about it and bought it . That riveting description had us chomping at the bit to play for sure. 😂 So, we humor him and watch him play for the first time and it's pretty much like he described.

I sang in a choir-concert based on games and movies in fantasy settings, (Skyrim, Lotr, etc.) And we had one of the songs from this game. It really made me realise how much I love the music in this game!

[@vodcuhz]

2:04:00 I've made a theory about this, and I just wanted to share it. So Sean was talking about what could've happened and I think I have a solid answer that I made. I think that the people who lived there / worked there whatever were the guards from The Last Guardian, or at least something related to them, if you look, most of the structures look similar to the ones they built in TLG and I also think they lived alongside colossi, and they were like their guardians or workers or something (i get more into this later), and I also have some ideas of what happened and why they abandoned the area. so you know how Dormin wants you to defeat the colossi, and once you do the tendrils come out which are said to be fragments of Dormin's soul, well I think that Dormin arrived and threatened the land, so the soldiers fought back and won, sealing every part of Dormin's soul in the Colossi before completely evacuating, leaving the evil magic behind, and that explains why Dormin wants you to kill the Colossi, to free his soul so he can find and destroy the soldiers. So yeah, thats my theory on what I think happened and why they left, but remember when I said I'll get into that later, well I'll explain that now. So, I believe the Colossi guarded the soldiers most valuable items, or their most important tombs explaining the fact that majority of the Colossi have some sort of armour over them, and when evacuating they made sure to find a land with more mystical beasts, and thats what they found, they mind controlled the tricos, since maybe they were more difficult, but they managed to get them on their side and they used them, as a coverup for the colossi of some sort, instead using them for their dirty work, etc etc. I get if some of you wouldn't like this theory but I just decided to share, tell me your opinions in replies if you like! (EDIT: Also, y'know the shield easter egg in the forest, well I think that isn't just an easter egg, maybe it was put there for something to hint towards the soldiers actually living there, maybe there was multiple shields but most of them got lost, and they only managed to take a few with them.)

[@ismaelalvarez8661]

"Tell me your opinion" 🤓 no one comments

[@God-xd1wr]

Maybe Dormin created the Tricos as free-thinking beings to do their bidding from a distance while the soldiers, extensions of themself, dealt with interior issues after the people left them. Maybe the people left with the shield after Dormin escaped the Valley and designed the Forbidden Lands as a trap and a prison for Dormin’s soon-to-be fragments, sealing their voice in the temple and animating the land and architecture as free-thinking, indomitable beings to guard his power, shoddy craftsmanship but still, before forbidding the lands. Maybe those people _already lived_ in the Forbidden Lands a few centuries before it became so forbidden and did the same thing knowing he would escape eventually _and then_ forbid the lands.

[@Exxonlive]

I can already sense that jacks idea of making a series about how game devs make things work will probably become a reality, its honestly an amazing idea that id love to see

It's because of Jack that I gave SoTC a try. It was a really good game and I enjoyed taking on each of the colossi.

The pain of Jack passing every tree and Shrine and never getting any fruits or lizard tails 😢 and not trying to jump and fly on the doves as they appear in the temple.

[@tacthescribbler772]

This game is, to this day, among the best video game experiences I've ever had. The music, the puzzle factor, the vast emptiness of the land where Dormin was imprisoned. It's gorgeous. You mentioned the fact that SotC is a huge, open world that has nothing to do aside from hunt the Colossi. I love that part of the game. It really adds to the atmosphere and the emotional impact of the story. As for the Colossi themselves, I always hated Dirge, the burrowing Colossus that chases you through the sand; between that one and Hydrus (the water Colossus), they really spooked me. I suppose it has to do with them potentially appearing from where I can't see them. My favorite is Phalanx, the massive flying Colossus near the end of the game that you have to chase on Agro in order to climb it.

It’s fun watching you play this because Shadow of the Colossus is very nostalgic to me too! This and Earthbound were my childhood! It deserves all the praise you give it. ❤

[@BeAltyrnative]

I got this game as a Christmas gift in 2008 or so. I popped it in the ps2 and started what I didn't know would be one of the most interesting and fantastic games I've ever played. It's so simple and elegant in its design but made with such scale and grandeur that I was blown away. A minimal UI and intuitive design to allow the player to discover the colossi without their hand being held. I beat it over and over until I eventually moved on. But wow. As a game designer, I can only hope to create such interesting and absorbing worlds that the player is left wanting to come back over and over and discover something new each playthrough. Who knows Sean... maybe one day you'll play something of mine and maybe see the inspiration I've gained from such titles as this.

My first introduction to this game was watching a friend play through it. I had too much Anxiety Disorder™ to play it myself then, but the music and game direction left an enormous impression on me. And in many ways, it still does. I consider older games like this to be the epitome of game design and storytelling, because it shows rather than tells (making you fill in the blanks), and utilizes unique mechanics that pushed the boundaries of what many people think were possible. If anyone ever does that BTS interview with the Colossus team, please let me know because I really want to see mechanics like this make a resurgence.

I’ve always took the story as mono being their chiefs (head honcho at the end) daughter who was offered as a sacrifice for some reason to prevent dormin coming back. Wander was one of the guard responsible for keeping her safe (why he would be so good at combat and a loyal horse) who fell in love (or was married etc, also why he knows the spell and all that) and decided to try to resurrect her. Forget where or why I thought that but that’s always been my version of the story.
