There were some grander ideas," Ueda said, "such as changing Shadow's ending or adding some of the colossi that got cut from the original, and honestly having features like that would've been attractive from a business perspective. If we put just a few extras in, though, gamers would naturally expect more than what we could provide. Instead of just putting in a few half-baked things, I thought it'd be better to stick with the original concept of staying faithful to the base work. If I get another chance in the future to do a remake, I might wind up changing quite a lot more." Fumito Ueda - Famitsu magazine August 2011

IMO that kind of ending would have been too much "casual". Anything about this game, about it's plot AND especially - the ending - is one of a kind. Battles between good and bad are just too common, while the big disappointment and failure of the main character (spoiler alert - well, the girl woke up but... you know what was the pirce) is really rare. That's what makes this game so special. It's just totally different and leaves the player... empty. It was like this in my case.

+Morlun91 Big thank you to both Nomad and yourself. If I have your attention I have a question that may or may not have been answered long ago. Having been extremely interested in the game since I first played it years ago I've tried to follow the secret seekers and have done a lot of reading and watching what you guys have given, as well as my own exploring (though, not nearly the level you guys go with comparisons of textures and hacking the game). Anyway, the really big thing I want to know is has anyone ever confirmed that any of the beta colossi or anything of early builds have been kept or are lost? I know that someone talked to Ueda and he seemed put off by the idea that people were hacking the games to see textures and the like, so maybe he wouldn't even want to say. I just want to hope that somewhere one of the developers or Ueda himself has some (if not all) of the early stuff they worked on saved somewhere. I would think at least one of them would look at all the time they put into making this beautiful game and saved what they worked on. My fond hope, dare I say dream, is that someday it will all be released to the fans who are apparently still so thirsty for more about the masterpiece of a game. So anyway, any confirmation of there being old assets or lack thereof that you know?
@Morlun919 жыл бұрын
+ParappatheRapper You mean something saved not in the released game but in their own databases? There has never been a word on that, but it's not to be excluded. We don't know what's their politic on backup and archiviation of data so we don't know if these materials still exist or they have been erased in these years. Anyway it's safe to assume nothing of that stuff is complete and probably much of that is not even playable. It would be a great discovery but I can't picture them releasing it for any reason... That's how they are these japanese developers.

I remember watching these kinds of videos about SotC lore and beta content and such when I was 10 years old, so seeing this stuff pop up again recently has been quite a trip down memory lane. I was always really fascinated particularly by Pelagia's little back area. There's something so off the beaten path, and sort of secret about Pelagia's arena. The way the bridge kind of looms over it, with the forest on the other side of the bridge, I've always felt like Pelagia's area had to have some kind of deeper secret to it, because compared to most other colossi approaches in the game, it's a lot more concealed. Even like, Kuromori, or Barba's arenas are partially visible from elsewhere in the world, and you fight them underground. One thing I've noticed is how similar Pelagia's bridge looks to the unused dam

Wow, as always, incredible detective work. I'm surprised there was just enough information still there to narrow down the locations of the beta colossi to this degree. Interesting that the Turtle colossus originally belonged to I3... never would have guessed that. Also cool to know that the Devil colossus presumably was located next to the dam. I always figured that either some colossus battle would have taken place on the dam, or that the dam would be leading to a colossus arena. The shot at 17:00 makes me kind of sad. I never saw the "brick area" from that angle, and always presumed it was just a dead-end cliff. However, that screenshot makes it very clear it would have continued on (probably a long ways) into H2, but all that data has been deleted from the disk...

Out of the removed colossus, I think the worm is the one that looks the coolest. Sad it was cut. I've never heard of Dormin mentioning a friend though.

I'm still exploring after all this time even though I know you and Pikol have practically pulled this game apart and examined every little detail. When Pikol found the Dam I was freaking out thinking a removed colossi model might still exist around there. Sad there wasn't one. And yes, I remember reading that on the Team Ico wiki many years ago. I actually thought it was fact then, but one of your videos made me think otherwise.

Nomad Colossus I was guessing the Monkey at first but really happy the area for the devil (used to call him the bat), has finally been found. I used to think he was around colossi 14's area, that little observatory place near there with the pillars reminded me of him. It looks like a small arena. I think you did a video of it a very long time ago, might be wrong though. I'm actually happy so much didn't make it into the game. Something about it gives the game this unique feeling, this sense of exploration no other game has given me. Those colossus have so much mystery surrounding them, it wouldn't be the same if they were in the game.

Bugbag100 'I'm actually happy so much didn't make it into the game'. 'It wouldn't be the same if they were in the game'. I think you are the first person ever to admit this! Everyone else (including me) always talk about how they wish the game was completed! I have always dreamed of a full '24 colossi' version of the game, but I really get where you are coming from. Would there be as much mystery and speculation if all the colossi were included? Pikol wouldn't have found the Dam, the beta mountains and all the other left over content which I (and others) have spent 6 years exploring. It would just be like any other game where there is no need to look for secret content. Sure, the nature of the game would entice players to look for more secrets, but all those 'leftover' lands wouldn't have been there and as such, the game wouldn't be as mysterious as it is today - so thanks for your perspective, I had never considered this 'alternate reality' before ; )

But the child I have inside keeps dreaming about it every time I see your videos. I even had my own speculations about colossi in the past, but what can I say to your evidence? I read all your blog in one sit when I saw the video you talked about the rings where you fight Phalanx and I started to search for more info about the unused colossi, and every search I did it leaded me to your info. In those years you made me replay the game a lot of times, just because something told me there was something more that I didn't see the last time (even if I was aware that all the content I was missing wasn't accessible by playing through the game). For all this and more thanks for making those videos! Like many I'm looking forward The Last Guardian and the mysteries it will come with.

Watching this is like uncovering more mysteries behind a fairy tale. I'm happy with the colossi they chose. It may just be me, but the ones I saw here do feel out of place. Probably because I've never seen them before. Thank you for all your hard work. This video is a treat for sure.

@nonnone70605 жыл бұрын
Unfortunely 48 was only a number. 48 planned but not designed, or even thought about. 24 were only designed and planned. Shame, I just bought the game and only fought the first 5 bosses but these look so unique. Devil looks cool as all hell, spider looks so creepy and alien like, not to mention it looks like a house with legs on it! It looks like something out of castlevania lords of shadows or what ever! and just the thought of worm is terrifying! A colossus so big it was too big for the already giant map? Damn, gives me goosebumps. And its design is scary too! So simple yet so horrifying, no eyes, just a giant mouth you have to get into to destory it.

For those wondering here are the reasons some of these colossi were removed: Griffin: took too long to retry Phoenix: lose too much health upon falling off Spider: unable to program in the intended method in(in other words, they couldn't get the intended method to work during the programming phase) Roc: issues with collision detection and unable to find a good solution(this can be seen during that clip)(in other words, it was too glitchy, and the *only* method that worked was discarding it) Sirius: the way to defeat it just wasn't working out(basically, the intended method wouldn't work the way they'd thought it would) Yamori A: Ueda thought it'd be pointless to pretty much show a carbon copy Devil: Its wing attack was too powerful and killed the player too easily and they were too far in development to rearrange anything, so it was easier to just discard it Just for the record, this is what is revealed on the sotc wiki

Why couldn't they have added a dragon colossus? I know they have Kuromori, but still, there is only 1 flying colossi in the actual game itself, and I know 4 of the colossi in this video could fly and one is burning embers, but do they breathe fire like Kuromori? No, but if they had brought in a dragon instead of the Phoenix, that would have been cooler. Also the Roc colossi is named Avus.

Birko1991 Thanks, I tried with Quadratus (#2) first but it didn't work, next I tried with Cenobia (#14), but the model has no head so you have to manually add the head to the body in the SotC viewer (which for me at least is a pain)... so I just used Celosia (#11). In fact I was going to add Celosia's backwards steps in comparison to Sirius (as they are very different). Celosia lowers its head a lot more as it moves backwards but Sirius seems to stay upright.
@Birko19919 жыл бұрын
Nomad Colossus Well, I guess they look different because purposes of those animations are different. Celosia is backing away from fire of fear and lowering head is natural in animals who are scared. In case of Sirius, it may have been used when it was trapped in that stone structure to free itself. Or when Wander was standing too close to attack him (I assume its way of attack was charging on enemy at full speed since Wander would ride Agro and way to defeat it was to get it stuck in Stonehenge thing). Who knows (besides Team ICO)? Also one thing: since in OPM demo there is that "bird" icon on the map indicating possible location of Phoenix and animation for sword attack that was supposed to used against Spider... It probably means that both of those colossi were removed very shortly before the demo release. I wish there was a demo where we could fight one of the unused colossi :( Thanks again for a lot of hard work you're putting in those wideos and your blog :D

Nomad I have a thing for you to look upon. In the hydrus lair if you jump as the tendril things touch you. You will fall through the water and under the map. And when it happens to me, I saw some stuff in the distance, but because I have no mods or anything, I couldn't explore myself. Idk if it was just my copy is glitchy or what but if you can do it. It may be a good video idea. I also have an idea of ico came before sotc.

Question, could the spider have instead just been around the wonder freely around the desert area around the bridge? Also could it's 'temple' be located under the entrance temple at the end of the bridge cause that's a pretty flat cliff side if I remember correctly.
@Morlun919 жыл бұрын
***** No because the cliff points to the curved side of the bridge "supports" which means it gives the back to the castle. Long story short it's on the other side of the entrance before this was introduced in the game. Anyway it was probably a really old test area, not a definitive one. Artbook mentions water in its arena, but in every image only a desertic area is shown. Spider was scrapped out very early into development, the map was much different back there. More explanations here: nomads-sotc-blog.blogspot.it/2011/07/unusedbeta-colossi.html

Morlun91 Oh, neat. What about my theory that the spider freely roams?
@Morlun919 жыл бұрын
There are not enough elements to judge since he didn't have a definitive location so we can't base our speculations on the beta location where we see it. Moreover the artbook states you discover its weakspots on the legs when you lead it out of water on the land; by that we can deduce they were planning to put it in a definite location near a lake but it was discarded before. I picture something similar to quadratus lair, huge area but still an arena.
