Dude, I just read further down the comments about your mom; you go do what you gotta do. I just lost my mom a couple years ago after watching her wither away for way too long (and my wife lost her dad a little before that), so I totally get what you're going through and it sucks in all the worst ways possible. There's not much that can be said to make this trying time easier that you haven't heard already or that won't sound horribly trite and cliche, so I won't insult you by trying, just take as long as you need to deal with this; don't rush it, we'll be waiting for you. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you, brother.

Shesez, you just gotta do another version of this video for the remake, if for no other reason than the game is gorgeous to look at. It also has so many tantalizing areas that you can't normally reach: the canyons beyond Argus' coliseum, the forest above Dirge's cavern, the chamber where Quadratus started... the list of places I want to finally see is nearly endless.

[@ArcRay20]

6:17 i just remembered my first time at that area. my first thought was "well there is no way the horse is gonna make those jumps" followed by me dismounting and crossing the bridge only to fall to my death as the bridge collapsed.

Wilfred Cthulu the game was way ahead of it’s time

[@GeneralWagner]

ps2 no, but shadow of colossus yes. this game used the maximum from the console, beside how awesome this game looks, he still looks inferior than zelda games from gamecube... ps2 was the weakest console from that generation, by technical description and even more by software capacity. anyway, shadow of colossus was a masterpiece

[@Stefano_SPGamer]

I never knew there was a lizard in the temple. It will be the first thing I shoot when the remastered is out (-4h).

[@Yorcont]

This sounds like you also didn't know about the game mode "time attack" in which after finishing the game in normal or hard difficulty and load that finished save you can start the game again with your health and stamina bar increased as the end of the game. But this time around you go in front of the statues in the temple and press the button you use to hold the sword up. It will let you face any of the colossi giving you a time to clear them. Defeating them all in time attack unlocks the lizard stone that allows you to locate every lizard on the map. Including that one on the temple.

This one's been a long time coming! Thanks for the vid Shesez! This game has some of the most interesting and mysterious cut content of any game I've ever seen. Considering there were once 8 extra Colossi in the game, and the map was created to reflect that, there are a LOT of out-of-bounds secrets like the Dam and Orange Arches.

there's none, It's really solid in that regards, I think that the best thing that nomad managed to do is manually tell the game that he killed all colossus when he didn't, but I think that it really

[@AliBaba-sw4ej]

White Protagonist Maybe sequence break in regards to the fights themselves. Examples would be launching on to Gaius’ head through his sword flip, jumping onto Argus’ chest from his belt, and jumping on to Basaran’s head from his front leg. Basically the speedrun of the game

[@beak3963]

but that isn't really sequence breaking, it's just a faster way to beat the colossi, like it doesn't change anything in game.

[@AmbiguouslyAwesome]

I wonder if the bridge goes so far out because they originally needed extra room for the Spider colossus boss fight? And since they got rid of it, maybe they just patched it over with mountain texture

[@jamesross1003]

It goes out so far because in the demo the bridge led to a plaque with a special thanks and info on the game show where it was to be released. Of course the only way to get to see it was to climb the tower in the demo. It was never removed fully from the full game when it was released.

[@jlinkous05]

"The way [the guiding light] looks right now is like something I would put on a poster." Funny enough, they used something like the shot at 7:52 on the front page of their original announcement website. It was a wide shot of the bridge taken at dawn from far away to one side, with the silhouette of Wander on Agro standing on the bridge at the entrance, with the Ancient Sword held towards the sky and the guiding light shining towards the Shrine of Worship. This was a Flash page, so the guiding light was animated like it was in the game, and part of the ambient soundtrack played softly in the background.

Yea, given the commentary that went right before that dedication, the obvious conclusion is a grim one.

[@evilbob77]

What's really cool is that BluePoint games, in the recently released remake for ps4, recognised Nomads contributions by naming a trophy/achievement after them. Players can unlock the 'Boon of the Nomad' trophy for finding a certain easter-egg in the game. Really cool in my opinion to give a nod to the countless hours Nomad has put into the game and SoTC community :)

[@ebboy53]

My man Fabian did a great job, this is one of my favorite episodes by far.

[@saturnswachter841]

When the bridge ended it was supposed to be longer to house the Spiders arena (One of the Beta Colossi) When it was cut they pushed the entrance into the Forbidden lands further up. The reason the colossi was removed was because the attack that you were required to do to get to the Spider Colossis sigil was to hard and its attack did too much damage. So it was removed and they pushed the entrance up.

[@0zNIE]

1:45 Huh, that's neat. There's a little passage along the cliffs, and it looks pretty detailed (some ground texture and even something like a hill in the back). Wonder if that was maybe going to be a path you could come from later on as a shortcut maybe. It's amazing how many areas were made and removed in this game, and still pretty much there, just either culled out or "blanketed" by low-poly mountains to hide them.

Btw about disappearing body, it's not about wierd player behavior, it's just middle point of character are beyond the camera collision point. Simply enough it's like low poly disappears way at the distance, the same happens if middle point of the model get too close, to avoid interceptions, like look inside the horse, or some trees, if camera trajectory moves trough, object will be hidden. It's made camera movement smoothly, even if camera trajectory moves trough some object, it's won't block your view totally.

[@casedistorted]

He didn’t show the top of the tower and 5 years later I’m still disappointed

[@shades2all]

now a sequence break for the colossus is intresting. nomad also showed some of the out of bounds area past where you could have gone and where on the map but with no collision. if you showed some of that as well it would be nice since nomad’s videos are a little older and use older recording software.
