I've noticed that, last year, a build of Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection was published on Hidden Palace. The build is from 8 months before its release. Have someone already attempted to check this build out and see if there is new information about SoTC and Ico development? I know the PS3 version presented new information that were no longer present in the ps2 versions of the game. Sorry about my english, I'm not a fluent English speaker.

I’ve never played shadow of the colossus but I’ve really wanted to for a long time now. The issue is that I don’t have a pc or a ps2/ps3 so I can’t play the original, and I really don’t like that the remake removed/worsened some animations, made the main character look strange, remade OSTs, made all the colossi sound the same, and added so much greenery and removed the bloom that it kinda ruins the look the world was going for. So I was wondering if there would ever be a chance of the ps2 or ps3 version being ported or remastered, or will I just have to deal with not being able to play it.

Before talking about this I want to provide a spoiler warning if you haven’t seen the movie, “Reign Over Me” starring Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle.

Anyway, I wanted to discuss this here after just watching the movie because as a big sotc fan I think its awesome how people can see this game and find their own meaning in it and how that impacts them. “Reign Over Me” is a buddy drama that has Don Cheadle’s character reconnect with an old friend (Adam Sandler) who lost his wife and three daughters to the 9/11 attacks five years prior to the current events. Sandler’s character’s main forms of coping are not thinking about his family or life before at all to the point where he feigns forgetting them altogether, and spends his time obsessively play Shadow of the Colossus and painting his kitchen. Focusing in on the obsessive gaming, the writer and editor of Reign Over Me incorporates the use of SOTC not just as a simple marketing scheme, but as a way to parallel the inner turmoil of Sandler’s character. The editor, Jeremy Roush, talks about how his father after suffering major PTSD from the Vietnam War and would never speak of it, would play the film Aliens by James Cameron over and over to the point of needing to purchase a new VHS tape. If you’ve ever seen the film Aliens, you can easily draw major parallels from the film to the Vietnam War, and Roush deduces that this is his fathers way of thinking about the war without actually thinking about it. This is what Shadow of the Colossus is in Reign Over Me, its Sandler’s character way of thinking about what happened to his family without actually thinking about it. SOTC is a story about trying to resurrect a lost loved one, a game where we see giants fall in slow motion, as if Sandler’s character is seeing those towers fall all over again. The director made special note to include certain colossi into the film and one of the ones we see makes perfect sense within the context of the film. When Sandler is teaching Cheadle how to play the game, he has him fight the Fifth Colossi, Avion. And as we see Avion dive toward the camera in the film, its as if Sandler is seeing that plane dive towards him. I think this film used a video game in such a great way that actually elevates its themes, and after reading about SOTC’s inclusion I wanted to share it.
