Personally, I feel like Nomad is running out of ideas. We went from exploring unknown locations and mythical Colossi to playing around with the code to make 2 Agros. 15 years of exploring one little PS2 game can only yield so much.

[@cilllee2308]

Orang mana mas?

[@Intrepid_Explorer]

Excellent; another Nomad upload! :D Firstoff, It's always great seeing the B6 cliffs in a high resolution! To me that was actually one of the most fascinating things that I read on your PSU PV blog - only seeing the few images you took of it was almost like a tease! I wanted MORE, darnit XD As soon as I could they were the very first thing I went and took a look at myself! And they are actually very interesting - when you compare them to the surrounding landscape you can see how they're much shorter than the rest, despite the elevation being correct. I think that both they and the C7 high_res grassy area are at the same elevation (both their top and bottom), which to me implies that the sea-level was once actually higher than it is now. At some point Team Ico vertically stretched out all the Oceanside cliffs and lowered the ocean to where it is now (something which has given me pains about recreating i5 without changing it back!). I also think the C6 plateau may have once been "a thing" (especially since the beta screenshot of the early Save Shrine shows it was different the background), although without more evidence it's sadly impossible to say. And on the topic of the ocean, I do hope that you also cover the Ico Beach as well - I think it's just a collision issue, but there's a section that will fling you far out of bounds if you step on it! It's almost fun to crash the game with ;) But even more interesting than that is the fact that the area to the south of Ico Beach actually had collision to it - I think the beach might not have been finished, as the water lacks all/most of the effects. You can run around on the bottom of the ocean and not even drown! Jeff Mastter (hope he's doing well) actually thinks that the area to the north of the Ico Beach might have been the Worm's lair since he matched the wall texture to the Worm image if I remember right. Not sure how likely that is, but it's interesting anyways! But for sure the double Agro glitch is the coolest thing in this build - I'm still a bit fuzzy on the specifics, but I'm pretty sure that the second Agro is supposed to only be preloaded for cutscenes. Why she appears at Evis' arena with an ICO save file or alternate skin is entirely a mystery! Maybe it's an error with her being loaded before the bridge cutscene? It's a mystery for sure!

[@Mixoui]

I love people like you and nomad...always asking questions and thinking of endless possibilities

I recently got SotC for PS4 and I am obsessed. It's great to see such an old game still have an active fan base. I've completed all of the time attacks and now trying to get the rest of the trophies, the game's an absolute blast.

[@fenrix155]

You are an absolute legend man. We all know no matter what gets uncovered in this game there is always more . I know you literally dissected the map, but there is just such mystery here, it really seems to go beyond the creators’ intentions. I remember playing this before I had seen any videos about “secrets” within the game. I had uncovered quite a few myself. Each time I got on, I had this feeling like I was in another reality. I had dreams about this game that were completely peaceful and terrifying at the same time. It haunts me, but in a good way. You out of all people know that this isn’t just a game

[@criss1461]

I've been absolutely fascinated with this game for years and your content shows its beauty and hidden content like no other. The community people like you, pikolo and others build and inspired and even today keep alive it's absolutely magical. Thank you for all your work and sharing your discoveries with us!

[@gamerfrustrado]

I have been following your channel for many years, shortly after the launch on ps3, the love and passion that you show this game and it is unique. I hope that at some point it will be possible for me to buy one of your posters, shadow of the colossus and ico are my favorite video games, I am glad to know that there are people like you who feel the same way about these games as I do. Greetings from Peru

The first time I played SotC was december 2005, my uncle bought a PS2 with a Matrix Game and SotC, I played Matrix first and i though, wow what a cool game ,them I started playing SotC... and that moment changed my life forever, all the secrets, the 17°Colossus, The Last big secret, The Dam... so many special things... I hope this chaos we are living in the world right now passes and we all can play the next Ueda game in the future :)

[@acklord7145]

Hey Nomad. I just want to say thank you for everything you've done for the SotC community. You were the one that inspired me to theorize about the game in the first place. But geez, you are unbelievably determined. Still finding things nearly 11 years later. You are the hero no one needed, but we sure wanted. Thank you Nomad, for everything you've uncovered about this historic game.

[@expert_bean2949]

It sounds so cheesy but it makes me so extremely happy that there is someone like you who still finds out stuff about this game, I've been introduced to Sotc when my bigger brother played it years ago when i was a toddler, and eventually i got to play it myself when the remake came out and if i really like a new game, i naturally want to find out more about it and if it has anymore games, i think its been about 2 years ago since i got the game and right now im just replaying it since its an amazing game, ive even got ico like a few months after playing the remake for its HD rerelease on the ps3 along with an HD original sotc just because i realized they were made by the same team and i had an early 2001 psq demo disk with ico on it and i could never get past the first room cause i was too young at the time to really know what to do. Eventually i Played the hell outta ico and loved that game too and ive always had a fascination with game development and game mysteries, so this channel is a gold mine for that stuff on games i love. I also couldn't help but notice your channel's name in the credits of the remaster. Thank you so much man it sounds corny but im a guy who likes to express gratitude. Also i have yet to try out the last guardian its been a few years since that game has been out and i feel like such a fool i havent tried it yet

[@NomadColossus]

Not cheesy or corny at all! In fact a lot of younger fans have grown up watching my channel which is something I didn't take into account until a few years ago. The longevity of my channel means someone who was six when I started my channel (in 2009) would be 17 today! So they have a lot of nostalgia associated with the videos - which is really something for me. It's not so rare for a KZbin channel to last this long, but it is rare when it devotes all its content to just three games. So thanks!

It has been a while since I last saw one with the colossus. But could this allow you to spawn 2 of the same colossus? (two Valus) I mean, the game was not programmed to load 2 Agros, and neither 2 colossus, but it may be possible.

[@NomadColossus]

No, that one we call the 'Preview version' - I know it's a bit confusing (Preview vs PSU Preview). Also the Preview version is the full game with all 16 colossi, the PSU Preview only has the first three colossi. The disc you have ordered is the OPM demo, where you can fight only the first colossus.

[@Lq84i-P]

@@NomadColossus Awesome! Thank you for the reply. We had the holiday 2005 demo. I was looking around out of curiosity and saw that. Figured I may as well add it to what I've got, lol. The OPM demo was the one that still had the animation for Wander's swipe attack used for the Spider, correct?

[@NomadColossus]

@@Lq84i-P Correct! But the PSU demo also has the swiping animation as well - try it out and you will see!

[@Lq84i-P]

@@NomadColossus Hi, Nomad! The disc I ordered arrived! I want to point out some interesting things that I have not learned before, but I'm sure you have knowledge on. The demo starts up with the normal intro cutscene (with the exception being that where it usually ends, the camera starts strafing south along the bridge at about eye-level for 6 or so seconds.) with the SotC logo on the bottom left. When I am brought to the main menu, it has 'Stand alone demo' under the title, and there's no actual menu. It just says 'Press START button' It starts me off with Wander waking in the SoW. Since I remember a lot of your findings on the OPM, I tested a few things. Dive into the small pond and crash the game: Check Jumping sideways doesn't drain stamina: Check The word 'arms' about the weapon icon: Check. Barren/blasted area in front of the SoW: Check. I also noticed that I have no option to switch Wander to just his hand. It's either the sword or bow. I recall your findings on the OPM demo mentioning that the bridge from G4 to G3 is intact. Wanted to explore over there for myself to find that it is completely obliterated! I also notice that the game will do a motion blur effect at seemingly random intervals. Even if there's no fast camera movement. (It looks similar to, but weaker than the blur effect when pausing and going to the map.) I don't know if that happened in the OPM demo as well. Also noticed that Avion's was in place of Phaedra, which I believe was also a thing in the OPM demo. (Just found out while writing this that Agro launching physics are insane here! :D lol) Jumping upward while climbing is significantly weaker, making it more efficient to just climb up normally. (Which I believe was changed later, to a stronger jump which they also changed the height of that square pillar alongside it so nobody climbs over it.) The object you have to roll under in the leadup to Valus' lair is missing. Wander also isn't a lumberjack here, lol. Calling for Agro from a distance messes with Wander's running animation, and somehow makes him run slower. (About 2/3 speed or so.) Valus seems normal, but his AI seems a bit wonky compared to the final, as he was walking into the wall for a good while. I also noticed that when I killed him, and he was enveloped in the shadow, I can still see his eyes. I know that a lot of this is probably stuff you already knew about, but I just wanted to tell you things that I found interesting. Especially after seeing that the bridge was destroyed. Not just kinda clipped in the middle like the others, but completely gone. Is this a demo other than OPM? I checked your blog for the PSU demo, and saw that there was an actual menu at the title screen, so I don't think it was that... (Edit: Just noticed that the two ponds on the SoW's balcony are differently shaped. Which I've personally don't recall seeing before if you've documented it.) (Double edit: There is no headless female t-posing model at the secret garden. I also learned that touching the 'water' is a no-no. It gets you stuck in a falling animation until you press the jump button again. I don't recall those happening in the demos, but it sounds familiar.) To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if it's probably just a demo I forgot about, but I wanted to check with you. XD

[@NomadColossus]

@@Lq84i-P Thanks! So from what you have listed you appear to have the PSU demo - not the OPM. If it says 'Stand Alone Demo' then it's the PSU demo. The OPM demo says '2005 E3 demo version'. That's why the G4 bridge is missing, there is no headless Mono statue in the garden etc. Note: both demos have Avion before Phaedra and a copy of the Valus statue where Malus should be. But it's still a great demo to explore. You'll need to Agro launch onto the left side wall that leads into the E3 forest to get to the other side though. There's one of those huge rock stoppers blocking the way. Also, ride up close to the rock stopper and you will hear some creepy sound effects!

Which waterfall are you referring to exactly? And which version? PS2/3 or PS4? Bluepoint added a couple of waterfalls to the PS4 version.

[@mydecembermydecember]

Nomad Colossus Hey, just the ones at the very beginning/intro of this video. Ps2 version. They’re probably part just a normal part of the game that I’ve forgotten over the years. Always such a joy watching your videos, though all this time :)

[@mydecembermydecember]

Nomad Colossus Part One of the PSU preview version secrets you posted last month also has waterfalls in the intro, I’m guessing it’s the same place

[@Mannnnnnnn]

2 am dope as shit

[@purplering23]

Can we get a live stream of you showing more mysteries? Or showcasing all the mysteries u've found/gathered?

[@NomadColossus]

Yes, I'm planning on doing that soon as now (for the first time) I have an internet connection fast enough to live stream. Australia (sadly) is way behind the rest of the world when it comes to good bandwidth...

[@tryinglyon]

Me: Wow, he's still finding secrets in the game? I wonder what he found... Nomad: B6 cliffs are hi-res! Me: HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK?!

[@adamskisauce9490]

Question.... Anyone prefer the Ps2 face model of Wanderer vs the Ps4 model? I'm with the Ps2 model imo

[@SMGaming24]

This is still goin!!??!

Are we gonna see the person behind Nomad Colossus some day?

[@chrystiandavid9752]

Nomad I have a Shadow of the Colossus JPN version, where the Colossus have duplicated eyes (Functional, change color and moves), I don't know why. It's only a bug or maybe a different version? (how can I send my stuff to u?)

[@NomadColossus]

I have the Japanese version as well. What do you mean by 'duplicated eyes (Functional, change color and moves)'?

[@chrystiandavid9752]

@@NomadColossus man I'm your fan! Thank you reply me! The Colossus have 4 eyes instead of 2, I'm playing on PCSX2.

[@dskVoyager]

Is there any Secrets in the remake or the original game that we haven't discovered yet?

[@NomadColossus]

Maybe... I have a few I would like to share, but I promised Bluepoint I would stay silent about these.

Hey, my name is Kilian and I started playing this game on play4 and now, with all this virus, I have played it again to get all the unlockables. I know that you have been playing this masterpiece for many more hours than I did, but, I would like to ask you to do a live show on twitch or KZbin showing your favorite gliches or easter eggs? A greeting and I wait for your answer.

Our Boss is back! Go Corona Go!

[@eugenioborn]

Thanks Nomad, please, friend, when you were at bluepoint can you tell if they had access to previous Shadow builds, they didn’t have any access to the discarded colossus and arenas, if you can’t speak, can you tell if they’ve shown you things that we will never have access to? Nomad, and as for Fumito Ueda, no chance of a simple online interview, why not create an online petition just to thank him for the gift that shadow is for all fans and if possible as our ambassador to talk to him, I think that it would be valid and it would be like our gift to you after so many years of effort.

[@NomadColossus]

No, they didn't have any other builds and in fact, said all they knew about earlier versions came from them reading my blogs etc. And I don't think Ueda would speak to me, as he only does interviews with big gaming magazines and the like.

Great... Anywhere page for download this beta version?

What about the goats in ps4?

[@mtgamer2588]

You probably get asked this a lot for time to time, but what are your PC specs that you use to emulate the games? It seems like you use Cycle Skipping a lot, meaning your PC struggles to emulate at full speed. I recently built a computer and got the game to run mildly slow without any speed hacks. I think if you get minor slow down without any speed hacks, you can probably get the game to at least run closer to 30 FPS with Cycle Skipping set to 1. Also for displaying the game, you should set it to 4:3 and not have it stretched. Unless you're playing the final game where the widescreen function actually gives wider FOV(even then the HUD elements will be stretched), it should be 4:3 to properly display the content. That way shapes like circles and squares will actually look like circles and squares and not ovals and rectangles. This should especially be applied for recording pre-release builds as your videos may be the the only footage out there of it, and having it stretched would misrepresent it on a preservation standpoint. Anyways, just some feedback for getting the best quality out of your videos.

[@NomadColossus]

Thanks! Yes I do stretch my videos out to fill an HD sized window as I don't like the black bars on the side. But I get what you mean about the original 4:3 ratio. I use an older version of the PCSX2 emulator that works with my save states. My computer is 7 years old now but it runs the game as 60fps easily. When recording through the PCSX2 emulator it slows down to 20fps or so... But I will be buying a new computer very soon, so this should make my videos run at normal speed ; )

[@mtgamer2588]

I too used to play the games stretched until I eventually realized how much better they look when the characters aren't horizontally stretched. I used to not like the pillar boxes too when I was a kid, but later on it makes a lot of sense to not stretch because of quality. Now I try to unstretch anything I play as much as possible. You'd probably will get used to the black bars eventually through more common use. You can also render you video as an actual 4:3 video at a resolution like 1440x1080. That way KZbin will display it properly for iPad users where it'll actually fill up the whole screen without stretching since iPads are 4:3. You can always play the games through a 4:3 native monitor so you won't see the black bars, but chances are you don't have one that could reach resolutions as high as 1080p. You can also try being creative with the empty space, many people who display vertical content that was recorded on phones would have the empty space be the video itself zoomed in with a blur over it. Some people would move the video to the left or right and have the empty space be filled with information, this is commonly used in speedruns for displaying the timer, splits, and sometimes face cam. Generally putting static imagery in the empty space is not recommended as it could risk causing screen burn-ins for OLED displays(this only occurs if the static image remains the same for extended periods of time, usually hours to days on end). BTW, you should also check out this video on how viewing footage of Seinfeld in its intended aspect ratio is becoming a rarity. It also contains informative general information that's really useful for understanding aspect ratios and it's interesing to watch.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hneso6afqa-Ka68 The more people understand about aspect ratios, the better quality we can get out of representing retro content. The video goes on about cropping 4:3 to fit 16:9, which I think personally is worse than stretching as it's literally getting rid of information. Which in some cases for shows it can make visual gags loose their meaning.

if shadow of the colossus can out as a console edition I’m 💯% buying it and it better come with the other 8 colossus that we’re removed from the game
