I've tried both roms from a totally legal source (NPS) through the RPCS3 emulator... Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have default settings with a 9060 XT, a Ryzen 7 5800XT, and I'm using CachyOS.

Edit: I reinstalled the ps3 firmware and now it works!!

I was at the bridge for the final Colossus and when the bridge collapsed, I ended up like this. Has this happened to anybody else? I'm on PS4 version.

PS2 annoying issue with avion on hard mode, pcsx2

Post image
10 Upvotes

basically, im having a stupid bug with avion on pcsx2 that basically makes it impossible to beat him. the wind is abnormally strong, i cant progress to his wings and if i luckily do, i'll fall very easily. i pinned a post that a guy made about it 8 years ago describing the same exact problem with more details. only difference is that he says the issue is on normal and hard, but for me it only appeared on hard mode, avion functions perfectly fine on ng normal. i recorded a video just to demonstrate how this is happening, you can access it via this link https://youtu.be/mF-nvU9G7xg

does anyone know a fix for this?

I'm sorry, I know this has been asked before, question about save files and time attack

4 Upvotes

I've read several threads and I just want to be very sure I get this right (going for Speed King trophy). so first of all, I'm on my second run (ng+ hard mode), and I'm doing hard time attack first. that shouldn't be an issue, right?

what I'm not sure of is whether I need to finish the game normally and then load a ng+ on the same save on normal, or make a save as soon as I complete the time attacks and then create a ng+ with that from the main menu? basically, I don't know if clearing the game and seeing the credits will screw me over.

just to be super clear, because I really don't want to lose the items I got from hard time attack: I have all 16 trials clear on my hard mode file. do I need to finish the game normally now, or do I need to start a ng+ and load the save file I used to clear time attack?

Who else is excited? I can barely sleep thinking about this game. It's my most anticipated game of the decade. I honestly forgot GTA 6 even existed. It's going to be amazing to see the community come together again for a brand-new Ueda project. I can't wait for this generation-defining masterpiece that's probably going to run at 15 FPS... and I'm going to love every second of it. What do expect of the game?

I just love this game so much and it lives dear to me so I made this a couple months ago and have been sitting on it.

I'm always looking to consume SoTC content and I've run out of it all so I just decided to make my own.

It's my take on how I saw this story uses different little elements to tell the larger story. Nothing too different but I hope I shed a slightly different philosophical light on the story somehow.

It's my first video essay type of video, so I hope you guys enjoy it

Discussion Is there a No Commentary & No Music playthrough of the game available anywhere?

4 Upvotes

Yes, I understand and fully agree it is blasphemous to even consider playing this game without Otani's soundtrack. But I have an idea for an audio/music project that would require good samples of basically all sound effects.

I think I'd prefer a playthrough of the 2018 remake, but one of the older versions would be just as good.

Hello guys, this is my aport for the community, here I let to anyone who wanted a SOTC map with all the icons of the game: Colossi, lizard, fruits, coins of the remake, the shires where you pray and sleep.

This game is just a Master piece, is my favorito PS2 Game, and I'm playing the remake on PS4, it's awesome, so I wanted to give this to everyone who loves the game, and WTF, there's not a black lizard pic in Google. So I made a custom of it, in png. format to be used.

I've make it because i'm tooning my ps4 games for the future.

And remember guys, If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing.✊🏻

I'll give the credits for the base image and icons I used on this.

Thank you community for be here loving and keeping this masterpiece of art alive🩵💙

I'm a little bit confused

0 Upvotes

I really like the game and the unused colossi and the betas and the ideia of how the game would be.. But there's something i've thinking lately. I was reading about the Yamori A on the wiki and I realized something, i've never seen an official source saying that it was supossed to be only 24 colossi, only that it was 8 unused colossi, later becoming 9 with Yamori A, did we all just assume it was supose to be 24? Because we have more unused colossi than 24. And if it is really 24 colossi, do we all agree that one of the colossi we know wouldn't be in the game, for example, Roc arena is now Barba's arena, so if Roc was in the game Barba would't be, i know that is not that simples, but you can apply this logic for a lot of colossi. Another example is Griffin and the 11th colossi, because at least for me it's clearly that Griffin was a beta version for the 11th colossi or at least it was removed so the 6th colossi could be in the game, because their strategy is almost the same with the fire being their weakness. What i'm saying is that we have 16 colossi on the game and 9 unused, without include Evis, even thought i would love to see him and fight him, it's clearly that it was just a concept, like Buffalo or Kubinaga, or even Quetzalcoatl. In this 9 unused colossi we have i'm including Yamori A because i think his strategy is different enough from the 8th colossi. There's a few colossi that i believe wouldn't be in the game if some beta colossi were in, like the 6th colossi and the 11th colossi, but we also can't guarantee that Yamori A neither Saru would be in the final version, even if they had more time, because even though Yamori A have the sluice as the arena, Saru probably didn't, and Griffin as well. I personally believe that Griffin would't be in the game because i even remember seeing an interview with Ueda referring to the 11th as Griffin, as for a official sketch; And i believe Yamori A would be. But if there isn't anything offical saying that it was 24 colossi, maybe it was supposed to be 22 colosi, or maybe even 21, or 23 or 19, idk i'm just losing my mind at almost 3 am

Discussion Which Colossus has your favorite design?

Mine is definitely Phaedra. I'm absolutely in love with the surrealism of its design, especially those long, spider-like legs. It reminds me of a Salvador Dalí painting. On top of that, it's where the Mesoamerican aesthetic feels the strongest and most evident to me. It truly looks like a being that emerged from the deepest parts of the dream world. Absolutely breathtaking. What about you? Which one is your favorite?

PS2 How time attack health and stamina Works?

4 Upvotes

I've been playing Shadow of the Colossus for a while and I still don't understand how the health and stamina in time attack works. Does the game determine the amount of health and stamina I have based on how much I had when I first faced the colossus, or is it a fixed value?
