Yes that's correct. And the same thing happens with the layout of the stairs leading to colossus 15 too. Not sure why the changes were made. But good of you to notice the difference. There are actually many differences between the PS4 remake & the original. But unless you've played the original many times, you might not notice many of the changes other than the look of the environment.

@@timmadone8930 I'm guessing because those minor obstacles were used to elongate the "transition corridor" into the colossi dungeon and was deemed unnecessary in the new build because they could just load the area faster with all the new techs, so they ironed it out. You may already know this, but adventure games in PS2 often have these long quiet corridors between lively/active areas not just for a breather or suspense, they were there to prevent the players from getting from Point A to Point B faster than the game could load.

@@hansalanson3497 I had some knowledge of that. I know the wormhole you go through after taking out a colossus was really a clever way to give you something to look at while the game reset. Whether or not that was it's original purpose is hard to say. It could have been planned as part of the game anyway & it just happened to coincidentally serve more than one purpose.

@@timmadone8930I knew something felt wrong about the those stairs. I've noticed so many minor environment details. I know it doesn't change the overall gameplay but it still gives me ocd lol

@@meep8279 Correct, it doesn't change the overall gameplay. All the fruit trees, shiny tailed lizards, colossi, & weak spots on the colossi are still in the same locations. However the PS4 remake does allow you to go places you couldn't go before. Plus it gives you more things to do other than just time attacks. Like unlocking all 154 gallery pics & collecting all 79 gold coins. Hopefully we get some new extras next year to celebrate the 20th anniversary.

Usually when you venture into an area that's "out of bounds", you'll need to restart the game once you're done looking around or exploring. There are some locations considered "out of bounds" that will allow you to return to the regular part of the map without re-starting. These areas are mostly located above the ground from where you would normally travel. You just have to watch where you step when in these areas. One wrong move & you'll either fall through the map or die instantly.

Anyone can jump off this cliff & glide down to the rocks below. But you will need to unlock the Cloth Of Desperation (parachute). The area down below the cliff is an area that's considered "out of bounds", but there are many "out of bounds" locations that you can visit & explore.

Thanks. It's getting more difficult all the time to come up with new things that haven't already been shown thousands of times in videos by other fans. Recently to bide some time I've been doing follow-ups to previous videos, but the search continues for new & (hopefully) interesting material. After 19 years you would think there isn't anything left that hasn't been seen or hasn't been tried. Luckily the map is quite large (for a 2005 game) & there's still room for new discoveries.

@@timmadone8930 well I agree with ya bro still these contribution of yours will make an etch in this historic game. Just chill haha we are grateful no matter what.

It goes a little farther than what you see here (in both directions) but at some point you will either hit an invisible wall or just be too low to the ground (water) to go any farther. As you can see there is no water physics so you can't interact with the water. This seems to be the case with many of the "out of bounds" locations that contain water. At least some of the rocks have collision so you can safely land on them.

@@timmadone8930 Oh damn, that's interesting

So far the answer is no. I've tried many times to land on the ledges but so far I either just fall right through them or die right after landing on them. It's quite possible there might be a few ledges that can be safely landed on, but as of now I haven't found them. For the moment the rocks in the water seem to be the only "out of bounds" areas in this location where you can safely land. I know the top of the cliffs above the arena have collision, but I haven't been able to get up there...yet.

It takes a lot of patience, years of experimenting, & dying thousands of times. I can say quite unequivocally that I've died more times playing this game than I did playing "Dark Souls". But that's because I've thrown myself all over the map into areas designated as "out of bounds" locations. In the original game many of these areas truly were out of bounds, but in the remake many of these locations are accessible now for those willing take the time to fully explore the Forbidden Lands.

You can go under the water as long as you stay on the rock. If you go off the edge of the rock you'll fall to your death. In most "out-of-bounds" areas around the map that involve water, if you go underneath the water there's no longer any water around you. It's like being surrounded by air but you can still see the surface of the water above you. The real trick is trying to find a safe space to land. It's trial & error.

Absolutely. Bluepoint Games & all involved with this remake did such a good job making the world look as realistic as possible. Even more than 6 years later, the PS4 remake holds up very well graphically. Not everyone was happy with the new look of the game & yes some of the other-worldly feel of the original is gone. But considering what we did get, it's hard to complain. Now might we get a Director's Cut in 2025 to celebrate the 20th anniversary? Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I tried to show the hole prior to Wander jumping into it (see my first video on Dormin's Hole) but I just kept falling through the map. It's very difficult to land on solid ground when trying to get near the hole. There is collision there, but 9 out of 10 times you will just fall through the map. After about 6 or 7 tries & failing, I just decided to start the video with Wander already descending through the hole. Yeah it would have been nice if a gold coin would have been hidden on top of the idols.

Thanks, actually I started a new game so all the idols would be standing. Mono is there, but when you're standing on top of the idols she becomes invisible. That mouse sound is the shiny tailed lizard walking around on the ceiling. In my previous Dormin's Hole video you can hear the lizard walking all over the place, but it turned invisible so I wasn't able to shoot it down. Agro also turned invisible so I wasn't able to pet the horse.

Thanks. I wasn't planning on starting the video the way it starts. I wanted to be above the hole like in my first video & then jump into it. But it's not easy getting to that hole & mostly when you do, you just end up falling through the map. There is collision around the hole but it's very tricky landing up there. As it turns out it worked out better this way because I got to show the hole all lit up & actually it does look quite nice. :)

Yes that's true. My first time playing the game I was up all night mainly because I spent a lot of time exploring the map. As for the 79 gold coins, I found 74 of them on my own with no help. I already had a good idea where many of them would be as I had already explored the map extensively in the past. But some of them were hidden in places I didn't think to look. Even after 19 years new discoveries are still being made in this game. Simply amazing.

Yeah, actually I was intending to end the video with a nice shot using photo mode. But I forgot to enable it before recording & as it was it took probably close to an hour or more of trying just to grab that particular seagull. As for making a risky move, now that I think about it I've died more times playing this game than I did in "Dark Souls". But that's the price you pay when jumping & throwing yourself all over the map to see what will happen. Of course Nomad I know you don't need to be told that. :)

Thanks Nomad. All my S.O.T.C. videos are recorded live as I'm playing with no edits. That's actually more do to with the fact that at first I didn't have a way to edit. And then when the opportunity came along where I could edit, I decided the way I was already doing it seemed to work just fine. Of course doing it this way has only been possible from years of playing & experimenting. 19 years to be exact. :)

Yes & this was also true of the PS2/PS3 version. The main difference with the PS4 version is that you can now glide much further using the parachute (Cloth Of Desperation) than you could before. This makes access to those areas much easier. Doing the "hawk hump" while using turbo is the most common way to reach most of these locations. But even without turbo there are many areas you can still reach that weren't possible before. All you have to do is take the time to explore.

Just for the pleasure of doing it. Anyone who's played this game & extensively & explored the map & looked all around at the mountains & cliffs & various ledges sticking out, has more than likely thought to themselves..."I wonder what's up there?" or "I wish I could get to that ledge & explore". Since I found a ledge & also found a way to get up to it, I decided to make a video. Of course it would have been nice if something had been up there like a gold coin or a goat anaglyph.

Thanks. After 19 years it's getting harder & harder to try & come up with new things that haven't already been seen or tried by all the fans.

@@timmadone8930You’ve been playing this game for 19 years? That’s impressive.

@@vacantile Yes, it really is impressive & maybe just a bit insane when I think about just how many hours I've put into this game. Not sure of the exact amount, but if I combined PS2, PS3, PS4, it's well over 50,000 hours by now. That includes foreign versions too. The PS4 remake alone I've platinumed from all 6 regions. But that's how you discover new things. And amazingly after 19 years, there are still new things to discover & new glitches to experience.

@@timmadone8930 Wow, do you play this game every day? Do you like other games?

@@vacantile I play S.O.T.C. almost every day. I'm working on some special videos for the 20th anniversary next year & it will take the rest of this year to get done what I need so I'll be ready. Off the top of my head other games I like are... "PRAEY FOR THE GODS" "RESIDENT EVIL 4" "JOURNEY" "THE LAST GUARDIAN" "THE LAST OF US" "GHOST OF TSUSHIMA" "ICO" "ARCADE PARADISE" "LOST IN SHADOW" "D" "D2" "CASTLEVANIA: LORDS OF SHADOW" "TWISTED METAL" "FORTNITE".

The game is on PS2, PS3, PS4, & possibly next year (2025) a PS5 version might also be available with new bonus features to celebrate the 20th anniversary. So there are many ways to play the game. If you don't own any of these consoles, you could play the game emulated on PC but I'm not even sure that's legal to do. As of now there is no professional release of the game on PC.

I'll assume that means good (or great) video & I'll agree. It takes a lot of time & patience to fully explore such a big map (big by 2005 standards anyway) & lots of trial & error to see what things you can & can't do that go beyond just taking out the colossi. But that's the job of a Secret Seeker & it always feels rewarding when you discover something new, & even more rewarding when you can share it. :)

This is actually the remake of the original from ps2

So true. While my videos for "Shadow Of The Colossus" are taken from the PS4 remake, the original version of the game had an other-worldly look & was visually amazing for what it achieved all the way back in 2005 on the PS2. Even though I miss the look of the original, it's hard to deny the visual feast we get from the PS4 remake. Bluepoint Games & all involved went above & beyond to make the game look the best it could possibly look in 2018. 6 years later it still holds up nicely.

That's a good question. Certainly all fans of S.O.T.C. would like that. For now the closets thing we have is "Praey For The Gods" which is a nice spiritual successor that definitely needs more love as well as a physical release. As for S.O.T.C., 2025 will be the 20th anniversary of the game. Too celebrate the occasion we "might" get a Definitive Edition of the game featuring some of the cut colossi, an expansion of the map, & hopefully full access to climb to the very top of the castle. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Praey for the gods is very janky , I wanted to like it but 😢

@@colinbatty3431 I'll admit "Praey For The Gods" could have used some extra polish prior to it's digital release, but it was still fully playable. There's actually a lot of hidden caves, many clever puzzles, & lots of extra items to find if you take the time to unlock the entire map & explore everywhere. 3 dev's spent around 6 years making this game & a lot of love went into it. Hopefully one day it will get the recognition it deserves along with a physical release.

Yes Wander is a male even if he does look a little feminine in the face. A lot of people seemed to be unhappy with the way Wander's face looks in the PS4 remake. I'm okay with it. It looks alright as long as you don't zoom in really close. The one thing I do have an issue with is the eyes. I think Wander's eyes looked better in the original version of the game. They had a wet glossy look like real eyes.

Yeah I was pretty stoked when I discovered you could do this. Prior to trying it I just assumed that the birds flying over the cliffs wouldn't have any collision. But as with many other things involving this game, if you keep trying different things, you end up making some interesting discoveries. This is a sequel (hence the part 2) to my other video where I do the same thing over by the great waterfall.

Thanks. It took a while to find another location where I could basically do the same thing as before. Once I found it was possible to do it again in a new location in the Forbidden Lands, I thought why not do a sequel. I might make it a trilogy if I can locate a 3rd place to do it yet again. :)

@@timmadone8930 Although this game is another way to play the same amazing game it just doesn't capture the same mystique as the original.

@@holyboy1 I agree. The way the majority of the landscape looked in the original gave off an an other-worldly vibe. It looked almost like an alien landscape yet at the same time looked like some places here on Earth. When you look at some of the baron stone mountains with no vegetation on them, it looks like maybe a nuclear war happened in the Forbidden Lands & wiped out almost all plant life. Got to admit though I really like how the PS4 remake looks.

​@@timmadone8930 Back in the day the original would have looked somewhat normal as what to expect from the hardware capabilities and limitations at the time, despite SotC being like nothing we had ever seen before but I generally agree. The remake looks more realistic, I prefer both for different reasons. The remake looks so much better although not sure about Wander's doll-like appearance. However, given the choice I would like to experience the discarded colossi in the original over the remake.

@@holyboy1 I don't have a problem with Wander's face in the remake. Just don't zoom in too close. I do feel like his eyes looked much better in the original. If you zoomed in on them they had a wet glossy look just like real eyes. That's not the case in the remake. As for playing the game with the cut colossi using the original graphics or the remake graphics, I can go either way. I mainly just want a physical release should the game get a 20th anniversary edition.

Thanks. I felt the first one was worthy of a sequel. :)

That's just a light reflection. There are a total of 77 lizards with shiny tails & none of them are in this location. The nearest one to colossus 15 would be outside of the castle & to the left of where you first enter into the castle structure (G-1 on the map). I've explored a lot of "out of bounds" terrain & never come across any lizard of any king while exploring in these so called "forbidden areas". Of course that doesn't mean there aren't any, I just have yet to see one.

Only for a moment. Travel far enough away from Agro's corpse & the horse will be alive again.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I try my best to come up with stuff that I hope fans of the game will find interesting. As for Agro falling multiple times off the cliff above the beach, I first saw that happen all the way back on the PS2. I was actually a bit surprised the glitch still happened on the PS4 remake. Sometimes Agro will only fall once & sometimes it's multiple times. Also Agro will occasionally take a really big leap & land in the ocean, but usually Agro just lands on the sand.

Thanks. Actually I expected Agro to re-appear near me before I even made it to the top of the cliff. But when that didn't happen, I kept going to see how far I could go before Agro would be alive again. When I was able to get all the way to the prayer shrine & Agro was still lying on the beach, I decided why not make a video.

It's okay, once you get a certain distance away from Agro's corpse, Agro will re-appear near you again. That's only in the PS4 remake. In the PS2 & PS3 version, should Agro somehow die, the horse will remain dead until you either take out the next colossus or restart the game.

Okay that's good to know

As you can see there is a path you can take to get down to the beach. However, should you decide to just jump off the cliff & glide down to the beach, sometimes Agro will also jump off the cliff instead of just going down the path & meeting up with Wander along the shore. Agro can survive that fall sometimes & sometimes not. In this case Agro didn't survive. Also Agro will barely leap off the cliff in some instances & in others (like here) Agro will take a huge leap before falling to the ground.

@@timmadone8930 Thanks. I'll try it next time

Thanks. I really wasn't planning on ever doing another video where Agro dies. But since I was able to get all the way to the prayer shrine without Agro popping up next to me, I thought why not. In the original PS2 game if Agro died somehow, the horse stayed dead until you either took out the next colossus or re-started the game. But in the PS4 remake if Agro dies, the horse will just re-appear near you if you travel far enough away Agro's corpse.

Agro might be sunbathing, but it looks like rigor mortis has started to settle in.

@@timmadone8930 She's just chilling. Her head would be on the ground if she was dead

Well I don't know if I'd quite say that, but I guess this video isn't doing too bad with the views. It seems videos that have an interesting screen shot to accompany them are the ones that get the most views regardless of what the content of the video might be. The screen shots that appear in my videos are usually (but not always) from the last few seconds of the video. That's just how it turns out. None of my videos are edited (except for the Siouxsie video). All content is recorded live as I'm playing.

You're welcome. I originally made this channel just for "Shadow Of The Colossus" content. But occasionally I'll upload other things too. I didn't get to see your final live stream of the game. I'll check to see if you have it uploaded. By the way you might want to check out "Praey For The Gods". It's a nice spiritual successor to "Shadow Of The Colossus".

Esta versão é o remake do PS4 de 2018. This version is the PS4 remake from 2018.

E tem pra PC ??? COMPUTER ??

It's glitched under the map.

I glitched under the map but not enough to where Wander fell to his death. Since his head was still visible above the ground I thought it would make a funny/interesting video. That's about it. :)

@@timmadone8930 I would've loved to see that whole process

@@tacumoto705 Yeah I usually don't show the process in videos because I feel perhaps once someone knows a certain thing can be done, they might want to figure it out themselves rather than be hand-held through the process. In the case of this video I did forget to show where I was on the map. It's located in section E-2 in case you were wondering.
