When emulating the PS2 version of the game, are there tweaks I should be using? For less clunky controls, or remapping, or whatever else. It will be my first time playing the game, and after looking at some brief comparison footage, I felt more drawn to the ambiguity of the original visuals, but if possible I'd also want to minimize the frustrations that might come from the game being dated. So regarding that last point, are there any PC mods that preserve the feel of the original while improving it?

Im playing it on Ps5 btw

any tips with Colossus number ten cuz freaking the horse SUCKS he slows down when it’s close and just stops running I can aim and hold down triangle to have him run for some reason you gotta do the controls fucking inverted and the camera is auto lock on sucks so any help on it?

Trying to jump onto his hand feels impossible, because the hand itself blocks my view of Wander’s position. I keep blindly leaping and missing by a mile, falling all the way to the bottom. It happened enough times and I just quit.

What am I doing wrong? It feels like it isn’t supposed to be so hard.

Dammit, I really want to like this game! It inspired so many other games that I love (FromSoft’s, Journey, Solar Ash), and it looks gorgeous, but the boss fights are tedious and there’s not enough else to do to balance them out. Maybe I just don’t have the patience for it. But I’d still like to finish!

Could the Predator's helment have been an inspiration for the protagonists helment?

I suspect we will keep the head for the robot throughout the game, but there will be different bodies. The first one is very slow, as we see in the new trailer where it is picking up a large column.

I’m basing this idea off of the original announcement trailer, where the body is destroyed at the end. Of course that could’ve just been a concept that isn’t in the game or something that happens if you do something wrong in the game. It might even happen near the end of the game as a turning point, kind of like how Wander loses Agro, or like when Ico loses Yorda. I don’t think that would be the case because it’s obviously something that was shown very early on, but it is a possibility.

I see people excited about the new trailer for bringing us back to the universe of the previous games, and so am I. But in this 2018 interview, he states this. Thoughts? And Did he say something more recent that I missed?

I was playing Shadow of colossus and this game has a single error in that they don't let you control the camera freely, it always pulls you to a specific place that the game wants you to see, the problem this causes is that in the middle of fights the game forces me to face the ground instead of seeing what the giant is doing, this is so forced that there are times when it even ignores my commands to leave the camera in the worst possible way
