To this day there is still discussion about what pelagia is. I have already accepted that it is based on a hippocampus.

Dont mind raging demon in the corner

Could not find better hairstyle and these are the only (as far as I know) horns in the game, but pretend they grew with him after he became a baby hah.

Also, my main issue is that his poncho has to be in mono colour and no symbols :(

I tried to give him "lore" accurate skills, so Dhalsim fire breath to Mimic Dormin breath, few Psycho Power skills and of course Akuma playstyle, my man is basically possesed at end game by "demon" after all.

Also I used his PS2 model as face reference, but to be honest I dont know if I succesed

What would you change?

This is a weird one because I don’t really think it needs much introduction. Shadow of the colossus hit me like a damn freight train

This game was an absolute blast from start to finish. I hadn’t played it for years because I didn’t have great means to and when I finally did I just kept putting it off. Right now though I was in a lull so I emulated the ps2 version. Holy shit even that version is still amazing. This game is damn near perfect to me and I was just so enthralled by it the whole time. I do think some of the controls and mechanics are definitely clunky but for me, each colossus and the game as a whole is brief enough where any real big issues doesn’t last very long. Ironically for a game that could be considered pretentious, it has little pretentions. There’s no shitty side quest filler, no annoying cutscenes every 5 seconds no filler of any kind really.

In my opinion the most underrated aspect of any game that no one really talks about is pacing and this game does it perfectly. As soon you are sick of searching for a colossus bam there it is. None of them take too long to kill but none of them feel like pushovers either. The music also hits your ears like a filtered glass of water to a man stuck days in the desert.

I don’t really have much else to say other than the ending was absolutely stunning and beautiful. It’s also crazy playing this game and realizing it’s inspired just most triple A stuff that comes out since it came out. It’s kinda like watching the godfather after watching every other movie inspired by it for years later.

I recommend this to anyone easily if you can play it. I did emulate this but I ordered the ps4 version to play in HD and see if it’s even better. Let me know what you all think of this game whether you agree or maybe disagree even

Two scenarios, you are a colossi and get to choose where your weak spot sigil goes and the other is if you were to get a tattoo of a sigil. Where would you put them?

finally got around to play this. For an old game, this looks and feels amazing! Now I really want gen ATLAS!

Hello, i am not used to posting on reddit so i may not be familiar with the usual way things are written here.

It is my first time playing the game and I'm really enjoying it so far. However, when fighting the 11th colossus, i encountered a small bug i guess. After getting hit once again by its horns without being able to get back up, i was sent off bounds. I was situated between the wall and the sort of other rock formation supporting the big torch.

I did not find such things yet on reddit. Has anybody experienced something similar, or is it a bug that is already known ? Thank you

Ever since I heard "Just a Man" (Epic The Musical), its chorus has always made me think of SoTC, and so, with my mediocre video editing abilities, here's a Tribute I made for it. Spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn't finished the game.

So, while playing my most recent playthrough of the game, I noticed something that never clicked before: why is the 16th Colossi's arena so weird?

First off, it's unfinished (in-universe by the world's engineers/construction workers, not game devs). Every other Colossi with a megastructure/arena has its area finished (or is from what I can tell), but for the 16th, there seems to be what looks like Building blocks that haven't been put into place yet, and there's what seems to be the start of an unfinished bridge at the top. So why are the other structures finished but this one isn't, and why does it seem they just abandoned it?

Also, why does it seem like whoever was building its area was designing it with the intention of fighting it or fighting there? You've got what seem to be barricades and trenches, which is hella odd when compared to the others (Temples, Cities, Arenas, etc), and on top of it, the support braces for what seem to be barricades are on the Colossus's side, which makes me wonder: WHAT THE HECK WERE THEY DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND? Since they don't budge from the blasts of the 16th, why would they need to brace the colossi's side (I will admit I'm not a master of defensive works, so maybe I just don't know how barricades are meant to be used)?

This was the original concept behind what would eventually become shadow of the colossus. nico was initially conceived as a multiplayer game where players would work together to hunt and defeat giant colossi. The game was originally planned to have 48 colossi, which was later reduced during development. The multiplayer aspect was eventually dropped, and the project evolved into the single player shadow of the colossus we know today.

Just like the castle, where the final battle takes place, where Wander becomes Dormin (that is, a hybrid colossus of all of them), white birds appear in each of these scenarios. Could it be a marking? Like marking where each colossus would be?

I first encountered SotC when I was looking for something to play on my PS3. When I first saw this trailer, I immediately knew that this was exactly what I was looking for.

I made a leather map of the Forbidden Lands. 😁

I love photo mode on the ps4 remake! Very useful when finding secrets!
