I bet it will. But imo the current death position is more fitting. I think they wanted to make Malus’ death to be different and unique from the other colossi. After all, it is the last boss. And it is more realistic because the building were made out of a very hard and sturdy structure such as hard stone and strong looking steel. So when Malus fell on its knee, the building could definitely stop the fall as it did. It wouldn’t make sense if the building starts crumbling and breaking apart when it fall as there were no sign of corrosion on the steel meaning that the building is well built.

It really would have been nice if the spider colossus had been left in the game. Of course we'd like all 8, but the spider colossus would have given us a chance to once again use Agro during the battle. Plus of all 8 cut colossi I find this one to be the most unique looking. The fact that it doesn't fly or swim & walks on 6 legs instead of 4 or 2, also makes it stand out over the others.

It seems that in the E3 beta build that Basaran's leg weak points are more pronounced and thus hinting the player to ride the horse to hit the weak spots with the sword.

I remember playing the original demo disc and getting excited for "Wanda and the Colossus" years ago, before many people even knew that the game existed and it blows me away that so much is still being discovered and done with the game. Nothing has really officially been done with this IP other than a remaster and a remake. Only collectibles, increased performance, and better graphics have been added in. No new story, no reinserting of cut colossi, no new areas... nothing. Yet, it still thrives. It's a testament to this game's classic masterpiece status.

God I love this game. Max I love how much you've kept such a passion alive for the game among the fanbase over the years.

Because for a lot of my videos... the average amount the viewer watches is somewhere between 40-50% (according to the analytics that KZread provides me).

This was really interesting, thanks for sharing this.

I had fun exploring this build on the day it was released to the public. I was able to show pictures of the tree being alive, "ICO beach" being very different, noticing a brand new beta quadrant (which existed in PSU preview but not solid) actually having normal collision within about 3 hours since it was released I think. I am not sure who was first though to discover this or that though exactly but it was awesome. I want to point out that there was more interesting things not shown in the video I think. There is an ENTIRELY different secret garden, one for the ending, and one that was likely designed for gameplay but can't be loaded by normal means. There are a few weird goofy designed player head models (e.g. Wander having a long nose, a big chin, spiky hair and some more) likely used for testing, and some other things too. Sadly the eastern "I" quadrants are still the same from what I know so far though.

This proves two things: 1 - Fumito Ueda is awesome 2 - He's a jerk He could tell us about the deleted colossi, after all these years the people still want some answers and he could answer all... he's a jerk.

Hopefully this project will get a physical release on consoles. Or at the very least inspire Bluepoint to put out a director's cut with all 8 missing colossi put back in the main game or as an unlockable mini game. And of course full access to the very top of the main temple. With "Ghost Of Tsushima" & "Death Stranding" getting director's cuts, S.O.T.C., could be on the horizon.

I liked this video Max, it belongs in a museum! Honestly, I find fan games like these to be very impressive, and interesting. Well done Max! 😄👍

I bought the ps4 version on clearance last year, I think its time to replay this game. I played and beat the ps2 version once when it came out, and I kind of remember getting tense and scared just looking at the scale of Wander versus the colossi, especially the under water colossus, large bodies of water freak me out. Thanks for the video Max, because of your video I jumped into the rabbit hole about early builds and beta colossi that never made it, leaving me to imagine what could have been.

If Digital Archeology ever becomes a household term, we can all take comfort in knowing that "Shadow Of The Colossus" was & continues to be in the forefront of this new form of archeology. Sure other games both before & after S.O.T.C. have been dissected, but nothing on the scale of this game. It's just another reason being part of the fan base for S.O.T.C. really feels like belonging to something special.

Avion does do a weird gust attack if you go back to the entrance and shoot them with an arrow, but only there in the latest version. Maybe that was the same one

I'm glad so much love was given to this game, though I wonder why they didn't go ahead and add those cut colossi for the PS4 remake? I saw another video showing how they added all those secret glowing spots that led to a special sword added for the fans. I also think it's very showing that no one ever mentions Last Guardian, and even Ico is usually mentioned as the other game made by the team. I do remember playing the PSN demo and a seperate demo we had in the store, I thought it was cool that the save points all looked like big memory cards, but I'm glad they made them more immersive.
