The most common causes of this issue are: I've read your posts for countless years and have loved SotC since it launched when I was much younger.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in! Thanks so much for the many years of incredible stories. I'll undoubtedly give you plenty of credit for your help and send you pictures of the sculptures I make! I intend for Gaius to be my first, as he seems to be the simplest to structure. I'm not technilogically inclined, so I'm hoping you would be willing to help me.
I could attempt to do this mysel on my PS4 Pro when this remake releases, but I thought you may have a better way of doing it by freezing the Colossi instead. What I need, and cannot seem to find, is closeup shots of virtually every part of the Colossi without them moving so I can look at a still shot as I work. I wanted to ask if you would perhaps be interested in helping me out.
My first project? You guessed it Colossi. <3 Recently, I have decided to progress from my pencil drawings (seen here: ) to sculpting with modeling clay. Nomad, I am an artist, and one of the reasons for my love of art now is having played this game as a child. There are no clouds, or perhaps the bloom effect has washed them out completely? But there are other details that reveal its antiquity, such as the squared column at the bottom left of the image and the simplicity of the trees. You can see (from below) that this is a very early version of the game. He worked on the website for Shadow of the Colossus in February, 2006 - see video here: It came in the files a user named Liam of 'Random Media' sent me. I have an image of this area taken from an earlier version of the game.
Note: There is a simple code byte to turn the black bars on and off, I've used it frequently in my videos to show the full screen effect of various cut scenes.īased on the above image I feel a need to show something that no one has seen before. They could have removed these outright so the the cut scenes filled the entire screen, but they have stayed loyal to the original version and left them in. I liked how they have still maintained the black bars above and below the cut scene, although they are more narrow in the PS4 version compared to the other versions. for me it's a good thing, as much as I love the original, I'm really looking forward to exploring all the new detail in the remake.
So it's up to the individual player/fan whether this is a good or bad thing. This new PS4 version in comparison is 43 times more powerful than the PS2 console (according to Sony), and as such Bluepoint have saturated every scene with tonnes of new assets, filling the screen with an abundance of detail we never saw in the original. Part of the wonder of the PS2 version is encompassed in the year it was made, that is, the barren emptiness of the forbidden lands was in part due to the lack of resources the developers had at their disposal in 2005/2006. Now, I know there will be PS2/PS3 original game purists who will turn their noses up at this new and improved version of their most beloved game, and I can understand their point of view as the original has its own unique and fascinating quality - the lighting, colour pallet and sound design etc.
Update February 2018: The PS2 three colossi demo has finally surfaced! Found at a flea market in New Jersey, we have called it 'The PSU Preview version' as it's identical to the PSU demo except the whole game map can be explored. I would love to get me hands on this demo (for future purposes ) A similar demo surfaced for the PS2 where you could fight the first three colossi, but after years of searching it has eluded me. It appears to be a demo that lets you play three of the colossi as the menu reads Colossus1, Colossus3, Colossus13 and Settings. You can just make the out the menu at the top left of the screen. Sorry about the quality, it was captured from a video that was recorded from a television set, and as such is washed out. As far as I can tell, the above is what the new title screen will look like.
