You'd think he would ask Dormin about those tendrils at some point

he knew, he didn't care
anything to bring her back

>>723829858 (OP)
How do you think they did that effect? I've never seen anything like it before or since.

>>723829858 (OP)
its an allegory of gay

>>723829858 (OP)
Why does the sword look different?

>>723830392
Time Attack unlockable

>>723830392
You can unlock different gear with time trials

>>723829858 (OP)
Given the region's history and the fact he knew to take her there, I think he probably was semi-aware he was going to succumb to some Faustian bargain.

So where did that spiked mace come from?

>>723830302
what effect
it alll looks really easy

>>723830513
>>723830537
Does it do more damage? I never knew about this. I thought that mode was just a time trial mode.

Sister or wife?

man this game is good looking. i've played the ps2 and ps3 versions but the ps4 one looks a bit off so i haven't bought that one yet

>>723833976
>man this game is good looking
indeed

>>723830302
It's pretty cool however they did it.

>>723831624

>>723834078
actually the scariest way to do a game over but during development they definitely just didnt know what else to do for it lol

>>723831112
through the window

Ico was clearly inspired by Future Boy Conan

How long do you think she was inside that cage?

shit graphics just has sovl that is never captured in remakes

>>723836608

You're indian, aren't you?

Any other games with a playable section after the credits?

How do I fix gamma with PCSX2? The game looks blown out.

>>723836282
Probably her whole life. She seems pretty enthralled by the scenery of slightly adjacent rooms.

>>723837292
You don't do that with ico/sotc.

>>723837292
in graphics there is a tab for that
other anon is right though

>>723837292
That's the point. The land is drowned in mythical sun-scorched bloom and haze.

The intro cutscene of Colossus 15 is a reference to Kingdom Hearts 1

>>723831652
Iirc it just lets you use the light shine thing in the dark, but all the items have special abilities i think

Ueda's new game also seems to be referencing nausicaa.

>>723829858 (OP)
wtf is this?

>>723838883
Thug child throws gang signs towards innocent white female

>>723835578
Ueda has listed it as an explicit inspiration. The Neverending Story is another.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMTU8EuqSbs

>>723830302
My best guess is particle effect trails with some really funky math under the hood. Mostly used to depict things like lightning or lasers. There's something else too because there's a distortion layer bending the tendrils and blurring the background.

>>723834078
Aww he's smiling!

Horus Prince of the Sun is another major inspiration for Ueda.

Crazy how different this 2000 footage looks from the game we got in 2001
https://youtu.be/vqZ2-5_Ix7k?si=2-Ejx69PKC1GWcOV

>>723839409
I don’t think it’s blurring anything.
I think the tentacle is just made of 2 parts
An additive blended pass of fuzzy white, with a smaller alpha blended black layer on top
The fuzzy white layer exists to make the tentacles pop in dark scenes

>>723840106
It was more a question of how it's animated mostly with credence given to the rate, the quantity, and the fluidity at which they're moving. There appears to be distinct patterns assigned to every single one. Are they a dense polygon trail given a spline to navigate? How is it then did they achieve the dynamism, of course they must be seeking the player characters point of origin but are they all rigged individually? If you were to perfectly recreate the same scenario would they behave the same way or are they generated? How noisy is the generation?

>>723837376
I bet she smelled pretty bad

It's just exp points

>>723840596
haha yeah imagine the smell... *SNIIIIIIIF* Ouuughhhhhhh fuuuc*SNIFF* *SNIIIIIIIIIIIFFFFF** HOOOH HOOOH HOOOOOOOOOOH!!!1!

>>723840596
What if she does not?

>>723829858 (OP)
it's just the dark energy that powers the colossus

Shadow of the Colossus is so fucking kino
I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't or refuses to experience one of the greatest games ever made

this game is when platforming peaked

and horse riding

and camera controls

and character traversal in general

>>723841065
>and character traversal in general
I was surprised to see how few games copied the basic movement of this game. Not asking for every game to have colossus to scale, but even the rare jumping around ruins always felt really good.

One last colossus.
I don’t want it to end bros…

>>723841252
It's because this game doesn't rely on automated shit and just about every other modern game copied le ''sticky'' platforming meme a la asscreed and uncharted which were more pleb-friendly

Gay planet

>>723841341
Gonna miss the ritual…

>>723841449
Uncharted is the closest and best the imitations were. If anything it did a great job of integrating it with combat.

on a CRT, that's that good shit

Kino…..

>>723840583
It's worth noting that the camera view shifts as soon as they approach the player and the effect changes to them actually hitting. There's probably two different particle effect 'systems' or whatever they have for the two different shots.

I got tendril’d again

>>723829858 (OP)
Spell Dormin backwards. There's your answer

>>723842898
>that's that good shit
It is
I forgot to take any pics of the ending :(

Project robot bros... How we feeling?

>>723847646
I mean it seems cool, can't say much from a like 40 second teaser

>>723847646
looks cool
Epic games publishing is a bad omen but honestly are they any worse than modern day Sony?

>>723847646
The fact the mc looks like he has a gun really has me hoping. I wonder if the companion character will be Colossus size or maybe something trico sized.

Hell maybe the teaser is a bait and switch and we get something maybe scopedog size

>>723845001
>nimroD llepS
I don't get it

>>723847646
I actually forgot about it till you said something

I hope you realize we're nearing the end of the auteur. The Industry doesn't want people like Ueda around.

>>723839165
Such a big world with amazing sights to see. And i'm still mad that i can't explore some places like the valley river islands on the way to the north of the temple.

Anyone else get all the coins in the bluemake? The dormin sword is pretty cool.

>>723850549
fuck off

>>723850689
Leave that little guy alone.

>>723850689
are you ok?

>>723851263
are you?

This is the old transition sequence after you're impaled by the tendrils, it was obviously changed before the release of the game. This is left in the game data for the old PSU demo. It had to be re-enabled through modifying the game code.

I sincerely think that the control scheme combined with the physics make SotC one of the best playing games ever. Graphics aside, this game defies its age.

I'm having Ueda withdrawal after beating Ico and Shadow of the Colossus for the first time (despite playing both games to near completion a decade ago). I don't have a PS4. HELP

>>723829858 (OP)
He was definitely aware on some level that he was going to get fucked over.

>>723855891
Yes he says in the first cutscene he doesn't care about the price he has to pay to revive his favorite vtuber

Insane how one mechanic takes a game from being 4/10 to easily 9/10.
Now imagine the combat mechanics were the same as in Skyrim - instead of climbing and all that shit you would just walk up to the bosses feet and keep mashing r1 at it while watching the red bar slowly go down.

>>723854419
The Last Guardian is mid.

>>723856268
what mechanic are you talking about

>>723851532
Holy CINEMA!

>>723856354
Obviously I mean the horse jerking system.

>>723856462
i mean that was pretty good but i think you're pulling my leg now

I still dream about waking up one day and seeing the announcement of a SotC remake with all the 24 colossi. Should I still hold to that hope?

>>723831876
Sisterwife

>>723856849
I think they explored most of what they could do with what we have now, we even have some repeats already. They'd need to add or change the controls a bit to keep the Colossus from being too samey. I'm glad with what we got.

>>723862486
Damn bro, it doesnt have unskippable cutscnes, you play the entire time, and you dojt have to do any forced walk'n'chats. What next, Super Mario Bros on the NES is movieslop too??

Which colossi would /v/ befriend?
I'd pick Hydrus. He can provide me free electricity, he doesn't have a mouth so he would never accidentally swallow me. Plus he seems the chillest.

>>723834092
>doesnt know how to stand on the horse

can i play this game at 30/60fps using pcsx2?

>>723863289
Nigga the game ran at 24fps at the best of times and it's better that way. It's more cinematic.

>>723858590
ZAMN

A better question is why has nobody else even attempted to make a monster killing game that's about climbing giant monsters and killing them?

>>723862806
cinematic slop*
Are you happy? ICO is better

Enough with the silence, Rank the collosi

>>723851532
Damn I love the aesthetic of this game, the mysterious ancient lands and esoteric vibe. Few games quite like it I feel.

>>723864730
I'm not autistic enough to remember their names. Starting from my favorite:
5

10
14
3
13
11
1
2
16
7
6
4
9
15
12


The bottom 4 are basically the "that part" of SotC, each involving some really annoying step you have to lure the monster to do and these ones are just kind of annoying.
Everything above is varying levels of kino

>>723864936
Yeah, there's no other game that gave me the same sense of wonder and mystery to the point i had a few SOTC inspired dreams that added on the mistique

>>723841583
>>723841449
I'd say something like BotW/TotK do a pretty good job of mimicking it without relying on fixed or sticky jumps.

>>723847646
I forgot that shit was announced, development hell again huh ueda?

Wish there were more SoC inspired games out there, how's Praey for the Gods?

Emulate. PCSX2 and RPCS3 both run games fine of SD

>>723829858 (OP)
Wanderer was so far past the point of no return when he decided to start the game he probably couldn't even remember what it looked like when he past it, to invoke a Max Payne-ism. This was an elongated suicide mission with the vague possibility of getting the girl he wanted resurrected and whatever price Dormin wanted was A-OK with him. Spooky tentacles included.

TURN THE FUCKING MUSIC UP

I prefer Ico, but Shadow is fucking great too.
I remember when it came out everyone was arguing over whether it was possible to climb to the top of the temple.

(i don't know but i can tell)

>>723856849
I don't like this idea. The game was great as it was. I would rather see them do a proper port of the PS2 game and make a collection of Ico, SOTC and TLG.

>>723863289
I was playing it at 144fps the other day

>>723864502
