Shadow of the Colossus - Mysteries in the OPM demo (update)

[@sovereign9425]

Nomad Colossus = Ultimate Hacker God Of Awesomeness

[@NomadColossus]

TheCreepyCreeper I wouldn't go that far ; ) But I appreciate the comment xD.

[@colossusslayer1234]

+Nomad Colossus i would lol. all hail XD

[@Noone-rc9wf]

Nomad Colossus You are the god of all hackers, and all hackers praise you for acceptance into Hackalla, the Hall of the Hackers in the afterlife!

[@timmadone8930]

That rock in the upper right at 2:04 creeps me out. It doesn't look so creepy in this demo. But in the regular game, I always think it's going to come to life & attack. LOL

[@tburke5031]

Maybe it is roc lol

[@timmadone8930]

T Burke LOL

[@tburke5031]

+Tim Madone by the way which rock? there are a lot of rocks also watching this male me wish the beta colossi where in the game

[@timmadone8930]

T Burke It's the one at about 2:05 in the upper right had corner. In the actual game play, it's much bigger looking & depending on which direction you are facing it, it has a very sinister shape. lol

[@tburke5031]

+Tim Madone I think I see it I'm kinda new to shadow of the colossus but I know I lot about it like the unused colossi and how to kill the colossi but I don't know there names

[@casedistorted]

Also thank you for making this, I really like seeing things we are never supposed to see up close like the low res version of all the areas I know and love.

[@astrolight5708]

Sounds like there was gonna be more content in the game but it looks like they removed it according to internet rumors there was originally the developers were gonna put 48 colossi in the game but due to data issues they had to reduce the size limit.

[@maicolnunezcolman110]

your videos are amazing nomad, dont stop them NEVER

[@lbfather]

agreed

[@YossarianAssyrian]

It's amazing to see how far you can get with the OPM demo using the right tools...I remember playing it dozens of times in anticipation of the full game, often causing the game to crash when I tried going beyond the loaded terrain. It makes me think: considering the fact that the attack for the Spider colossus battle is present in the OPM demo, could any other beta content be hidden in its files, like how the textures for those two unused colossi were in the final game? Has the SotC hacking community sifted through the contents of the OPM and PSU demos for anything of that sort yet?

[@NomadColossus]

Yes we have, there is no left over beta colossi data in the demos, I've checked all three versions - OPM, PSU and PAL. Only the first colossus data is in the code hence the smaller size of the NICO file compared to the retail version.

[@YossarianAssyrian]

Nomad Colossus Oh, that's unfortunate. There go my hopes for any other pieces of data on them...

[@NomadColossus]

The textures just disappear if I go too far in, none of #10's lair exists in the low res mode. If there was something there I would have shown it.

[@adrilu240]

That ending XD I just adore you Nomad, you never stop to amaze me. Great job, as always. :)

[@NomadColossus]

Thanks ; )

[@ShiroIsBack]

Shadow of the colossus is such a mysterious game in my opinion

[@DorDorDor703]

3:30 (insert mario jump sound effect)

[@shinra7252]

Oh my why am i coming back to my childhood

[@gabrielggag]

Imagina shadow of the colossus com os graficos de hj em dia seria incrivel

[@gabrielggag]

@Bolsonaro reage kkkkk carai,resgatou uma relíquia

[@NomadColossus]

I wish I had another version of the game but there doesn't appear to be any i don't have. I would love to get my hands on an even earlier demo or full version but so far I haven't found one.

[@TheRandomPuppet]

You're videos make me cry man :'( for me this game is a big thing for feel a incredible nostalgia. Thank you and don't stop.

[@NomadColossus]

I did search all the lands, there's nothing else out there we haven't seen, just a low res version of #7, #12 & #15's areas but I didn't show these. I covered #15's low res temple in my 'Opening Cut Scene' blog post though.

[@dgvpereira]

10:57- THEY SEE ME ROLLIN'

[@viniciussaragiotto4617]

wow that was great I went to misty falls just to save and see the shrine haha and then I watched the bird doing his dance flying when I went to main menu haha I love your videos and I love when You show something really interesting like this I love the lakes in SOTC and just to know that that pond doesn't have water gave me chills ^ ^

[@hisroyalbonkess]

Wow, great vid, the "living colossi tree" was cool, and the towers were cool too! Well, I thought you saw it all, Nomad, but you still find a way to find new stuff, way to go!

[@VtheWanderer]

IdriveCaddy2 I saw your question and I think I can help. The items aren´t showing up maybe because you didn´t finish all time attack battles in one playthrough. If that is the case, you´re going to have to play again through all of them in one playthrough, sorry. I had the same issue but once I figured it out I got that platinium trophy in no time ;) Sorry if I am meddling, just trying to help a fellow fan :)

[@stormageddon132]

so, nomad, have you checked number 2's cave on the ps3 collection? I can get on some rocks and I can see a back area, like a ledge, or balcony, but I can't get to it, would ya mind making a video on that?

[@Wormy0172]

So we have noted that most of the devolopers simply move unfinished prejects under/around the map, so does this mean we can potentially find proof of removed Collosi in hidden parts of the map or perhaps in parts not even cheats can get to? Or a ghost entity with the removed Colosi shell attatched to it?

[@NomadColossus]

No, sadly all the extra colossi were removed and virtually no evidence of their existence is left in the game's code. If there were unused colossi in the data we would have found them years ago ; )

[@kdg2087]

Nomad Colossus Actually there is an area on G7/The Bull Colossi's old lair where they left the stone monument and i found it... Why dont you check it out sometime?? P.S. Its the monument with a stone "Arch" That the boar gets stuck in

[@MrSecretMansion]

There could be but the code for it probably wouldn't mention something that says it is a "Collosus" it would just be random letters and numbers/symbols, making it impossible to find.

[@saturnswachter841]

KDG By the about do you mean Sirius??

[@metagrinder]

These deleted towers are similar to the tower what Avion is over.

[@bodenstafford3733]

I’m thinking that cave entrance was supposed to be where u would fight the monkey colossus knowing there was a save shrine outside of it

[@colossusslayer1234]

LOL nomad did you have fun having valus going on an adventure?:P

[@NomadColossus]

No I only speak English

[@NomadColossus]

Only the 9 centre squares of the map are high res in the demos, all the rest are low res.

[@sonicrashyugioh]

5 : 14 looks like the colossal tree have leaves.

[@SantaFishes101]

Well, there must be something. :) I hope you find out the secret, if there is one. Have been watching your videos and reading your blog ever since I finished the game a while back. It is just so interesting. ^^

[@adamhamilton8524]

So there was alot of stuff the game developers didnt put in the game?

[@Unkn4wN_TM]

in the NICO dvd first image, 3rd colossus idol is 6th colossus idol Place. please check it out.

[@KeitaroCoS]

At 8:17-8:18, you can see the cave take a sharp right turn before quickly disappearing. Does it just suddenly end or is there more to that pathway?

[@theohazelwood9217]

3:20 basaran face is not in its arena

[@rauloliveira3122]

OPM DEMO

[@rauloliveira3122]

Bah

[@andrewler13theundeadwarrio51]

May have to report issue

[@magijoseph1768]

Nomad When do you thing Team ico make a seaquel of this game i miss the 24 and the 48 colossi so much

[@0x2480]

The Low res cave had a path visible when the walls got culled out, go through frame by frame. Maybe it has a low res room in it?

[@AndersPecore]

Great video as always! Hey, off topic question. Can you suggest a guide for running Shadow of PCSX2 emulator? I've wanted to give it a try for some time and never gotten the chance too.

[@NomadColossus]

Just check out the PCSX2 website - it is full of info about how to configure the emulator. You can also visit the forums if you are having trouble running a game. If the game is running to slow it may be your computer's processor that is the cause, you need a dual processor at least to run the game.

[@lazrhawk]

Is it possible that the area around B5 was the beta layout for the devil colossus? in the two pictures of it, there area looks very very similar- Does it seem likely that they started its lair and then scrapped it, using parts of it elsewhere?

[@NomadColossus]

There's no way to be sure... the columns shown in the devil colossus images are different to any that exist now, they are squared and it seems to be at the edge of a cliff.

[@prosoyens]

only one question nomad where did you found all that demo ?

[@NomadColossus]

I bought it on Ebay - they are available quite often and not very expensive.

[@Guitars77OA6]

When you go away from the big castle thing not sure of the term and follow the bridge does the bridge lead anywhere or is it an empty space filled with trees

[@VtheWanderer]

Hey, Nomad :) I have some questions. In all of the demos are you restricted to a certain path or quadrant? How many colossi can you kill before the demo ends? And also, do you have any theories about those 3/4 towers? Great, great video, by the way :)

[@NomadColossus]

You can only fight the first colossus in the demos then it restarts, and you are limited to the 9 centre squares of the world map. The towers are very similar to the tower Avion perches on, so I think they added Avion's tower after they removed the B5 ones. They probably removed these towers as there were too many other towers in the game - at #7's arena, #14's arena, #16's arena, at both ends of the earth bridges etc. but that's just a guess.

[@landonmccabe9279]

I have a question. In the OPM demo there was no save shrine next to the cave entrance but then in the PSU version it's there. My guess it was a save shrine to go fight a colossus like the monkey or a save right before a cutscene for pholux to come out and battle you. Just a plain guess

[@leon9021]

Nice work nomad :D

[@shehzadk123]

Have you tried to go beta mountains or colossi? Or there was nothing but that cave entrance actually leads to #10's lair ive seen a sharp right but it dissapear fast

[@Ansemthewise59]

Hey Nomad, do you know which demo is in the Jump Pack Volume 13? Was that the PSU or OPM demo?

[@frandibe8155]

EXCUSE ME: How do to control a colossus? Can I do it on ps2?

[@NomadColossus]

You can by running the game through an emulator and using a memory/hex editor to find the colossi values. I think I'll post a video about how to do it as I get that question sometimes ; )

[@coolcat2994]

Nomad Colossus r u the guy who use to find all the sotc mystery stuff back in the old youtube days? if so I guess its time to dive back into this wonderful game I haven't seen ur video in a long ass time man

[@TayDude]

Nomad Colossus Wait, It's possible to control a Colossus? Is this controlling as in moving the colossus to another area of the map, or actually triggering things like attacks and movement?

[@NomadColossus]

Liam Norman You can only control a colossus via hacking the game using an emulator. I'll be uploading a video soon about how to do it.

[@casedistorted]

I find the low res lands and stuff you see far far out in the distance but can never get to very interesting, I want to explore more of that and the low res textures at the top of the tower in the retail game since you can't get to it. How do I do thisssss :(

[@HaveAKeyProduction]

In the OPM or PSU demo there are something related with NICO or beta mountains or even the Dam?

[@joaomarcosilvabastos]

Nice video again!

[@illeatyochildren6673]

Hey Nomad have you ever explored what was in that temple in Valus lair?

[@LightCloth]

Awesome!

[@venezolane1]

nomad, excuse me if i bother you but have you ever seen the doors in the first temple? or have you ever tried to explain what they are? i'll wait for your answer thanks.

Pass me the download that version

[@unilixtm4606]

nomad voce nao conhece um site para eu baixar a versao beta se vc se souber me diga porfavorr

[@brainnim9935]

By the way, I know that no real ps3 emulator exists right now (they're fales people). However, is it possible to mod a ps3 to gain access in game codes for the ps3 version? I've seen wii games cracked wide open so I just thought of this.

[@dieselpower1133]

Nomad I'm going to continue to insist on focus on the beta colossi sounds in that one video .

[@marciorodrigo5523]

[@IdriveCaddy2]

Hello Nomad, I hope you can help me. I'm trying to get platinum in SotC and I only need one more trophy. I have to beat all Colossi in hard time attack and collect all items in the pond. But for some reason, the items won't appear in the pond! I don't know why :( They showed up in normal time attack, but they don't in hard mode...Do I have to start a new game on hard mode and then try to beat them on hard time attack again? :'( Greetings, IdriveCaddy2
