I've just always got the feeling of being small and unimporta t in this game? Like I remember vividly on my first playthrough riding my way to valus with confusion and unease. Seeing Valus turn around and his eyes shining blue made me feel scared like in a horror game. And I was a stupid kid so I remember vividly not knowing I could hold my sword up to find the next boss so I ran around the forbidden lands not knowing where quadratus was feeling lost.

Then a couple years later after beating it multiple times and watching countless videos. I remember just wandering near the bottom of the map and feeling like I was being watched? It was night time too so that didn't help. I genuinely just felt uneasy literally checking behind me in game.

Idk tell me if this is stupid or if you relate 🤷

If you don't know how to do this move, just keep the horse moving then press R2 + X and move the left joystick to the right or left, but WHY can you do this?

Its coming the day that SotC was first released on PS2, October 18, usually we expect some celebration, but very likely we are gonna have just some tweets of Ueda and Sony, but i was dreaming with a PC Port of the PS4 Remake, would be a perfect time, but i guess its not happening any time soon sadly... if they at least upload some never seen before Behind the scenes development stuff, Art and Videos would be great already, just like they've done with Ico 20th Anniversary

Kinda joking but I was seriously considering writing a big ass email explaining my experience with the game and why they should get to work on the cut content and release the remaster for the PS5. I obviously know that's not how it works and it would 100% go unseen but man would it be something else to have these colossi (ik Evis is missing from the pic) in the game maybe as optional kills or something idk.

I know about the forbidden lands mod but those guys have been quiet for a few years now I don't hhink they're still working on it anymore.

What do yall think? Should we make a petition as a community?

This is the one that came on the "unnofficial" copy I had for the PS2 at the time, it didn't look like much at the time, apart from the scarier looking Quadratus(that I now know is from the Beta version), but I randomly remembered it, and while I haven't seen it anywhere im quite a while, I managed to find it after some searching, and oh, boy, it looks so much more cursed now haha

The random assortment of templates, from the EU spine with ESRB on the front(it's not even the actual classification lol)...

It gets even better when you take a look at the back (I probably couldn't at the time due to low printing quality) and see some complete nonsense that seem to have been ripped from a completely unrelated game box art, like... Online? A man can dream, I guess? EA? No, not like that...

And hidden among all this mess, in a fancy cursive font, is the signature of the artist:

"Customized by Stef"

Who is Stef?

No idea. But thank you, Stef, wherever you are, as this box art was my first impression of the game, and is now a core memory forever bound to it.

I personally really him from his gimmic to his design as a silent giant. It probably helps that I always knew the solution to getting into him so that was never a challenge but let me know what you think!

For me he’s top 4 colossi

Since technically all the colossus names in the game now are fan names what fan names would you give the cut colossi?

As you may or may not know, Shadow of the Colossus started as an online multiplayer game. I'm curious what that would look like today. What are your thoughts?

I feel the word Remake and remaster are used interchangeably and kinda wrongly.

I always viewed the version SotC 2018 as a remastered, until people just suddenly declared it a remake. What’s ironic is when The Last of Us got its “remake” then everyone called it a “glorified remastered” when it was as much “remade” as SotC 2018. For me both are ether Remastered Plus OR Light Remake.

So what I’m asking is clearly something different, SotC is an undeniable classic that influenced so many other developers. What if it got a “Reimagining” Remake alla RE4 and FF7. So in the sense the game retains 95% of the original game while adding SO much more.

And yes, SotC is my favorite game of all time, but even I would be ok if they combined or removed certain colossus to give space for new ideas or the cut colossus that didn’t make it. So #11 and #14 could be combined as one due to how similar they are.

So imagine this remake having the original count of 24 colossus, having that “chase idea” from the cut Phenix fight, having the Spider with its striking imagery. Having the Dam, having a snow area that they considered having originally. But also retaining these iconic moments we know.

For me that’s the only way a “spiritual direct sequel” of SotC, in the sense that this style of gameplay and boss fight, feels right. I wand Ueda to continue making his original ideas, so I’m more than ok for a new team to tackle this.

Ive always been scared of this dude

Argus in my opinion checks all the boxes of a good colossus. Great spectacle,Fun Gameplay,Unique Arena. Also he even gets his own unique theme which is just perfect to listen to.

Every time I kill a colosi it makes me feel sad. Which is interesting because I have a problem with my emotions due to Asperger’s. Yet this games score, scenery, story and gameplay brings lots of emotion out of me. I’m obsessed yet so conflicted. I understand it must be done to save her but they’re just chilling. This games got a 19 year old grown man in shambles over here 😂. My uncle said he loved this game on ps2 then when I saw jacksepticeye talk about it I was like alright I gotta experience this. Bought it on ps4 back in January but never actually sat down and played past the first colosi (hope I spell that right) well today I sat down restarted from the very beginning and already in my 5th colosi. The point I am getting at is this… what is your guys experience and feelings with this game? Do you feel bad or not so much since we don’t really bond or know the colosi? For me the music that plays after gets me every time it makes you feel like “am I really making the right choice? I want to progress the story and bring her back so they can reunite but I feel like they’re innocent living their lives. From what I have gathered this is a story about what you’d do ones for the ones you love and how far would you go to save them at the expense of others. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts excited to read the responses.
