    With a team of thirty-five people, Shadow of the Colossus began development in 2002 under the project name "Nico" and was intended to be a direct sequel to Ico.[2][35] The name "Nico" itself is a portmanteau of the Japanese word ni (二; "two") and "Ico".[2] An early technology demo for the project shown at the DICE Summit in 2003 depicted a group of masked, horned boys riding horses while attacking and defeating a colossus.[2][35] However, Fumito Ueda expressed that, at the time, it was simpler to reuse the character design of Ico's protagonist, and that he never explicitly desired a sequel to Ico.[36] Japanese pre-orders of Shadow of the Colossus later included a bonus DVD with the concept video, a trailer describing Nico's plot, and an introduction the development team states they wanted to use in Shadow of the Colossus.

    @MrDibara Před 3 lety +9

    Although the final product is in my opinion the better deal by a WIDE margin, I do think this initial concept for the game was interesting in and on itself. So after Ico, horned boys would no longer be sent to some castle in the mist for sacrifice, but would eventually have become a badass equestrian and nomadic tribe hunting down these giant beasts wandering the steppes? You gotta admit, that's a cool concept!
    Of course, I can't envision a dramatic story with this kind of setting, at least not one nearly as good as Shadow of the Colossus ended up having. The twisting idea that the monsters are not the bad guys but you are is brilliant, yet I don't see how they could've developed it with this premise. Maybe that's why Ueda decided to change it afterwards. I say good call on his part.

The Last Guardian is rumored to have some kind of online component to it, whether or not that is multiplayer, I'm interested in finding out soon.

    • @MrDibara
      @MrDibara Před 3 lety +1

      I think they would have to change the story dramatically. One way I personally envision it is like this:
      These giant wandering mountains are the source of an ever increasing plague that's threatening all the plains and beyond. A plague of darkness. Shadowy forms (similar to the ones in Ico) start appearing in villages and camps at night, attacking anything and anyone. Those who don't die are dragged down into the shadowy abyss never to be seen again.
      While fighting them off is not impossible, it is never the solution, as the shadows simply return on the following night with the same numbers they did prieviously, regardless of how many of them you and your people dispatched prieviously.
      These nightmarish forms have their origins in gigantic beasts who seem made out of earth and stone. They wander the plains endlessly, never stopping, never sleeping, always moving from one camp to another, crushing anything that stands in their way. THAT is the source. The only way to trully push back the darkness is to fell these beasts.
      And so, you set out with your horse and whatever companions you can recruit along the way to hunt down these giants and spare the land of the clutches of darkness forever.
      There's more or less the initial summary of what the story could be like, or at least the start of it. But of course, we'd have to search for a way to add a twist to it, because as it is, I won't lie, it sounds hella generic. :P

    I think multiplayer SotC wouldn't be as much of a masterpiece. It wouldn't have the same atmosphere as SotC. Being a lone hero, with just a horse with you. Then feeling overwhelmed when you fight a 200foot creature all by yourself.
    In a multiplayer SotC, the game wouldn't feel that way. Being with 3 other people slaying Colossi wouldn't feel as overwhelming.

    this was actually the first trailer for sotc, first presented as a sequel to ico. things sort of turned around and it ended up being a game that should come before ico.
    no, there won't be any multilayer sotc, as much as that would be awesome

    its the Idea behind Shadow of The Colossus this NICO was suppose to be a Direct Sequel of Ico but the makers decide to make Shadow of the Colossus which is a prequel to Ico.

    @TheMysticWolfAura Found out, they are re-releasing Ico and SOTC for PS3. Called Ico Redux or something to that effect. It is gonna have both games, in full HD quality. $60, but I'm still gonna get them. release date was July 2010, couldn't find an exact date.

    Totally agree, but i dunno about the RPG thing. I think it was one of those rare games that defys genre classification.
    Quite simply, it was a beautiful game, and it would be great if the released it on the PSN, like they did with Tekken 5.
