    By far, the PS2's most technically impressive game.

    • @ValentineC137

      and ps3.. and soon ps4

    • @alanwake4442

      The PS3's was probably GoW 3.

      @timmadone8930 Před 7 lety +7

      I agree. However, let's not leave out "Resident Evil 4". That game as well as "Shadow Of The Colossus" really showed just what the PS2 could deliver.

      resident evil 4 looked and performed better on Gamecube... (also had the handcannon)

    Shadow of the Colossus is my absolute favorite video game ever, which is quite surprising considering I did not grow up playing it. It is one of the only games I would ever truly classify as a masterpiece. Great job on this video, I only knew about one or two facts, loved it!

  • @totz_the_plaid9625
    @totz_the_plaid9625 Před 8 lety +1

    There was originally a path to the very top of the Shrine of Worship planned, but ultimately scrapped since there was no wizardry in the world that would allow enough of the game map to be loaded at once to provide the views necessitated for that. Still, a lot of normally inaccessible parts of the tower are texture-mapped since that idea was scrapped very late in development.
    The mapping was discovered by people riding particular hawks and using a technique referred to as "hawk-humping" to get high enough up to fall onto the top. The landscape below glitched to hell when they did it since it couldn't all load.
    That's the one thing I wish they'd finished/restored for the HD remake.

    Agro is a mare.
    Also, bonus fact! The map in the game was designed around the colossi. Fumito Ueda has stated that if the game actually had the 24 or 48 colossi as originally planned, the map would have looked completely different.

    • @TheNexussify
      @TheNexussify Před 8 lety

      +ZeroSpawn47 The 24 colossi was planned on the current map, they just cut 8 of them, so they can focus and make the remained 16 better. In the art-book, you can see screenshots from these colossis, and you can pretty much recognize all the locations. In the intro, you can even see 24 colums outside of the temple, because they finished the intro movie before they cut the 8 colossi. It's a shame by the way, they were almost completed, and the developers just deleted them from the game :(

    Nimrod is also the name of the very first computer game, in 1951. It was designed to play a game called NIM, a mathematical game strategy where players take turns removing objects from distinct heaps. On each turn, a player must remove at least one object, and may remove any number of objects provided they all come from the same heap. NIM may have originated in ancient times of China. According to the Nimrod simulation website, it states it was the first digital computer and digital computer game.

    Fun fact that I never see anyone mention: You can get to the forbidden garden a with a much smaller amount of stamina (after doing only 8-10 colossi) if you do small diagonal jumps the entire way instead of climbing. Diagonal jumps use a very small amount of stamina.

    I have a different thought on the fruit at the top of the shrine of worship, The fruit in the forrbidden land is the cursed fruit, It gives you more vitality than a mere human would have, the fruit at the top of the shrine is the only fruit that isn't cursed and eating it is cleansing Wander and returning him to a human state

    I know most of the things you mentioned, but not No.1. That's really something. Thanks for the video. Oh and btw, I believe there is a difference between the HDR lighting in SotC and nowdays' HDR imaging. The former term stands for a strong lighting pattern with bloom effects, while the latter stands for extremely high contrast due to the display capability of more colours.
