Discussion Sotc 2

• Upvotes

Idk why I just thought of this but I'd really love a sotc 2

I think game sequels are almost always better than the original game and so much could be done with it. The mystique, lore, and aura of the original has soooo much potential to build on..

And btw, I don't consider TLG a sequel idk if anyone does but to me it's just a spinoff that's in the same universe and it doesn't compare

Idk what are y'all's thoughts I think its possible since we've seen movies get sequels after forever like the Incredibles 2

Sorry if this post is annoying I'm not totally knowledgeable I do know genatlas is supposedly completely unrelated so

PS4 Do you need to complete the game on Normal+ in order for time attack rewards to transfer to Hard+?

1 Upvotes

I've been playing the remake and I'm wondering if I have to play the game fully again in order to transfer my items to hard+, or if after I get all the normal+ time attack rewards I can go back to the menu and start a hard+ file with my normal+ rewards transferring over.

Modding Beyond The Forbidden Lands Announcement

91 Upvotes

It’s been a long time since we’ve had an update on Reddit hasn’t it? Well I’m here to assure everyone that btfl is not only alive, but has had many updates over the past year now! We will try to be more active with major update posts on here (provided there’s enough major content), but minor updates will be on our twitter, our own Reddit, and of course the discord server, which is less than 10 away from 10,000 members!

Several mods have been released over the year, tangentially related to btfl, and we’ve released a build, made by our lead dev the exceedingly talented Nocturnal,for players to walk around in and explore the beta map which is 90% completed!
All of which are available for download on our discord server.
A Vtuber by the name of Xaliya has already done live streams and videos of these various features and can be found linked on both her and BTFL’s own YouTube channel.
Plenty of screenshots of our progress are also shown off and we’ll be having a podcast very soon on the discord.

TLDR: beta map mostly done, and all 26 colossi have models ready for game testing and design wise, are nearly finished.

More drawings for what I think would be cool colossi if we ever had an expansion. Gotta say that it does feel less inspired than my previous post but I'm still trying other iterations. I do feel that the little guy on the last page the right of the page is interesting as a tiki colossus that you would have to hit weak spots to make his sections spin

PS4 Shadow of the Colossus on PS4 Jailbreak

0 Upvotes

Does anyone have a jailbroken PS4 and have tested the 60fps patch? My Shadow of the Colossus is version 08034, it doesn't even reach 40fps. I'd like to know if it's been tested on another version and if it's more stable.

Kow Otani (SotC composer) worked in a lot of projects, but after going through all of them, I can confidently say Shakugan no Shana sounds the most similar

24 Upvotes

Thought I might share this for people who want to hear more OSTs in the style of Shadow of the Colossus. Curiously, both Shakugan no Shana season 1 and SotC were released in October 2005 only a few days apart.

SotC style game (Nyra and the garden of Moros)

12 Upvotes

Not sure if this has already been posted (or if it's even allowed here) but I just stumbled across the trailer for this game on YouTube this morning.

It's clearly inspired/rip off of SotC but with more stylised/minimal art direction.

Not sure what to make of it, clearly a love letter but I've been burned before by Prey to the Gods.

Discussion Should Rule 3 be expanded to include decompilations and other ports?

58 Upvotes

Hello everyone, it is me again.

Over the past two weeks the content of this subreddit has changed rapidly and been largely taken over by posts about PC ports of SOTC. In just the past 6 hours three seperate posts by three separate users have been made showing a PC port of BluePoint’s 2018 remake. We’ve even had a user make duplicate posts just saying ‘autosave problem’ about a PC port with no further context.

Additionally, these threads are jam packed with pro-AI and anti-AI arguments and an uncharacteristically high amount of comments for this subreddit (I’d say 11-20 comments is standard for a particularly popular post for the 5+ years I’ve been here) especially from users I’ve never seen active here.

While I am leaning towards disallowing these posts I would like other peoples opinions, particularly those from community members who have an actual history on this subreddit. So please if you have a preference, speak up.

Part of me does wonder if the best course of action is to wait for the metaphorical storm to pass as people move on to other things but again- I’d like to hear your opinions.

Shadow of the Colossus native PC port: my fork now runs ~40-49 FPS in the Shrine (was ~29), with optional FSR 3 frame generation

81 Upvotes

Estive trabalhando em um fork do port nativo para Windows de Shadow of the Colossus (PS4, CUSA08809). Ele roda o código x86-64 do jogo no PC e traduz a GPU do PS4 para Vulkan (mesmo método que bloodborne_pc).

O que o fork adiciona em relação ao original 0.57:

- **Processador de comandos dividido em duas threads** + build PGO + menos readbacks da GPU: Santuário de Adoração ~29 -> ~40-49 FPS (modo 60 FPS, RTX 5060 Ti)

- **Geração de frames FSR 3** (experimental, opção do launcher): modo 30 FPS mostra 60

- **Modo PS4 Pro corrigido** (sem travar ao carregar um save) e muito mais rápido (cinemático 22.5 -> 39.3 FPS)

- Primeira visita a cada área muito mais suave (tradução de shader 15.6 -> 3.0 s)

Nenhum arquivo do jogo ou da Sony está incluído: você precisa do seu próprio dump (EU 1.01 para o patch de 60 FPS) e, para o som, dois módulos da sua própria console. O launcher encontra uma configuração shadPS4 existente e importa saves.

Tudo também está aberto como um PR para o repositório original.

Feedback é bem-vindo, especialmente de proprietários de GPU AMD e Intel: abra uma issue com seu user/last_run.log.

PS3 Just beat Shadow of the Colossus Spoiler

14 Upvotes

This will be more of a ramble so apologies

I've just beaten the game....and God I'm so conflicted

I don't think I've ever played a game that I really do love but it pisses me off to no avail.

I'll get my gripes out of the way.

God I hate the controls.

Like I get exactly why it's like that, and for what it's worth it conveys the feeling that you are an insect compared to some Collosai. But man it's a bitch to control sometimes, especially with how much flailing happens (which again I get why, but some Collosai fights push it to the point of (I've barley done anything and I have to now drop off) so that's fun)

As well my god it can just be unfair.

The 16th Collosai pissed me off to no avail, the way the jump just.....would sometimes decide to be a pain was just aggravating.

I did use guides for some Collosai, some where veeery easy to figure out.

Some I was just straight up stupid and missed the contact clue because I'm dumb.

And some I swear I would've never figured out (mainly because I'm a big dumb)

Now onto why I say I love this game.

Purely from Aesthetics I adore this game, I love how grimey it gets with the desolate city's, or how dirty the desert can get.

As well as much as I moaned about the controls, genuinely I really love them, mainly for traversing the world I had such a blast.

(Like running around the few buildings, or climbing up to fight Collosai 3 was so good)

Agro as well I really liked controlling......mostly

(Actually with some fights I didn't have that much of a problem)

Sound design was phenomenal, I love how desolate the soundscape is with each Collosai vanquished, it really adds to the scope of the killings.

As well I loved how each Collosai was more and more spread out, really made you feel the weight of it all.

I did get spoiled on 2 parts of the story

(Well, 1 was more thematic and other was a plot point. I am kinda glad I get the thematic side spoiled because it was in the back of my mind as I took down the Collosai.)

The story I really liked.

Even though so much was at the beginning and end, I still really loved it.

The twist that Dormin was just suing Wander to escape. And Mono actually being resurrected but stuck there are you fucking kidding me. Like genuinely that took me so aback and left me just stunned.

It's such a cruel fate for all involved, although that ending with Mono and Agro going to the top of the shrine made me tear up a tad.

Overall.....I really loved my time with the game, even though it genuinely pissed me off at times with how bs it can get

(Whether it was actually bs or just a skill issue)

(Also, with the ending with Wander getting turned into that baby with horns. How closely is Ico connected to Collossus. I've only played a bit of Ico (gave up because I'm weak willed) so maybe there's something that makes it more obvious it's connected?)(Idk, but I would like to hear)

(((Also if you made it here, thank ye for reading. Literally outside of here I have no one to ramble to, so thank ye :›)))

Strange/silly question about Jampack Vol. 13 demo version of the game. Headless Mono?

12 Upvotes

When I was a kid, we had a copy of Jampack Vol. 13, and it of course featured SOTC. Our copy of the disc was incredibly scratched up, and only a few demos worked such as: SOTC, Burnout, and I believe Sly Cooper. Apparently in another demo version of the game, there's a textureless + headless T-posing model of Mono that appears in the Shrine of Worship's garden at the very top. I think you need to use cheats or glitches in order to reach it normally.

However in our copy, the T-posing Mono model spawned at the top of the spiral ramp in the back of the shrine. As seen in this video. She was located at the very end of the ledge. I remember this as a kid, and my older sister as well, and I have a vivid memory of shooting arrows at her while showing the game to my cousin. We always described her as "tied up", like it was an intended creepy horror game set-piece.

I can't find anything online about it being at this location however, and I'm starting to genuinely believe it was spawned there somehow by the scratched disc if that's even possible. Anyone got any similar experience like this? This is weirdly a nostalgic topic for me, and I'd like to see it again if someone knows more about it.

PS4 My first intentional one-cycle on Pelagia, and my fastest NTA run at 1:31.39

51 Upvotes

I think I've done the one cycle once on a new game run accidentally, but I finally decided to learn how to do it on purpose. It's fairly straightforward as well.

The stabs go in this order:

1 fully charged stab (hold square to charge the stab faster)

0.95 stab (easier to time without holding square, but holding works too)

2 fully charged stabs

On hard time attack it's a bit more complicated tho and I haven't managed to do it yet.
