Forums - Sony Discussion - Just finished Shadow of the Colossus!

Adjudicator on 30 July 2009

Indeed this was one of the only games in the last 8 - 10 years that truly impressed me. I've enjoyed lots of great games in that time but this one truly wowed me on a number of occasions.
Currently trying to get my hands on ICO and waiting for the last guardian to see if it was a fluke or if these guys are artistic gaming gods

This and Ico really expanded my horizons in terms of what I perceived was possible in a game. It's eye-opening.



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

I could never really get into the game no matter how many times i tried. I found the camera to be horrible and this did not help the poor controls either.

Start playing ICO as soon as possible, because it is even better than shadow of the colossus.

I would like to.

 

But it's hard to find.

You should try Soul Reaver 2, very good game from Eidos.

Weird, I liked the controls a lot.

TBH I didn't really find the ending all that sad, it might've been because I played Ico first and IMO that ending was much sadder. Overall I still thought SotC was the better game.

Did you wait through the credits to play out the final scene with Ico?



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I need to play this game but I can find it anywhere for a decent price :(
I really want to play this before The Last Guardian.
