One of the members from Team ICO Gamers posts a scan of a French magazine in which Fumito Ueda explains why they had to discard some of the colossi.

COOL

And to the person who reported this artcle with the following:

"Bad Editing: (2 minutes ago)
Title (colossi) wtf is that?spell the whole name out
Reported by: s8anicslayer"

Collosi IS what you call a single colossus. It even uses the word Collosi in the game to denote a single colossus

alexrowetos6189d ago

Err... no colossi is plural of colossus.

Anyways, the title is grammatically correct since the article talks about 3 colossi and not one colossus.

lodossrage6189d ago

alexrowetos is right, colossi IS the plural of colossus.

But getting back on topic, some of those colossi are SWEET. And it's a dang shame they didnt make it in. Especially that phoenix colossus.

This game REALLY deserves a sequel (even though storywise it's impossible given the game's ending).

At least a ps3 remake with ALL the colossi would be nice too though

Shadow Flare6189d ago

*stares hard*

actually that makes more sense, collosi being more then one collosus. Yeah. But it's still a cool article

gamesblow6189d ago

The Spider one has me buggin'... I'm terrified of it. I wanna see it in motion now :-(

Fighter6189d ago

Yeah, that Spider level would have been so cool. I'm just imagining an eerie music score for that level.

Shadow of the Colossus and Ico should be remade in UE5. I know Shadow of the Colossus was in 2018 but I say remake both of them for PS5 and PC.

isarai102d ago

The remake and Blupoints in house engine is more impressive as a whole than anything ive seen from UE5 so far. Id rather they stick to their own engine.

Cacabunga101d ago

SoTC doesn’t need another remake.. last one was awesome

PRIMORDUS101d ago

Fine let it be Bluepoints engine. The whole point I was trying to make was I would love them both to be remade for PC since the PC never had them to begin with (I threw in PS5) and now that Sony is bringing over their games it would be awesome.

FinalFantasyFanatic102d ago

I wouldn't mind a PC port even though I own it on PS4, it really doesn't need a remake though.

DarXyde102d ago

Shadow of the Colossus is kind of a perfect game, at least to me.

Man, this has me nostalgic. I know how I'm spending my Sunday evening.

robtion102d ago

It's really timeless. Put SOTC together with The Last Guardian and ICO and you have one amazing trilogy. I think Fumito Ueda is a genuine auteur.

chicken_in_the_corn102d ago

I tried the remake but couldn't get into it. Time to give it another go.

Elda102d ago

I tried both versions of the game & I can never get past the 4th boss.

Inverno102d ago

Well if anyone else can't get enough of this game you should check out Project Tribute. Basically a fan remake with all the cut colossi for PC.

isarai102d ago

HOLY CRAP!!! why have i mever heard of this?! They even got the worm! Of all the cut ones the worm was the most fascinating to me

Shadow Of the Colossus Retro Review – A Colossal Experience in a Beautiful World

Zachary M. Cain said: Shadow of the Colossus is hailed as one of the best action-adventure titles of its time. The game was originally released for the PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2005. It was so good in fact, it got a remastered version in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and was well received by old and new fans alike. Let’s revisit this iconic classic in 2024 and see how well it holds up to its past reputation.
