Shadow of the Colossus

Part 21: Extras

So hey, I promised three videos. I under-estimated my final recording Watch 'em in order, if possible!



Blip - Unlockables (Polsy) | Final Exploration (Polsy) | Ico Easter Eggs (Polsy) | Final Video (Polsy)
Youtube - Unlockables | Final Exploration ((the song around Phalanx was switched out so Youtube wouldn't mute the audio)) | Ico Easter Eggs | Final Video isn't available on here for now. Working on it.

Notes -
- God. The video websites are working against me here...

I figured Youtube would pull some muting type stuff on a video at some point. This BGM-dubbing thing isn't something I plan on doing after Colossus & Ico, though And I don't see myself doing it beyond a video or two in Ico's case. Anyhow, I'm swapping out the song that I'm 99% sure it is keying in on (which is my favorite of the bunch ). Kind of a patch-job, but hopefully the rest of it will maintain audio.

The Final Video gets hung up at 99% processing, then it comes back to me and bitches about it being way too long, clocking it at 32 minutes I think the fast-forward segment is what's messing it up, so I'm removing that and will try uploading it again.

No clue why, but the Polsy mirror for Unlockables comes up in a rather tiny resolution. It's the same dimensions as every other video, but... Uh... Huh. No idea. Anyhow, it looks fine if full-screened or viewed on the Blip page. Its resolution comes up as 640x480 on Youtube when I upload, but both the MP4 and FLV versions register as nearly half-sized once I get them on Blip. Once again, this seems like it'll only affect folks who watch Polsy without the video maximized.

Sorry about the video issues. I didn't do anything "cute" or "new" outside of that brief speed-up segment. I just hit some really bad luck here. I'll try to get this ironed out. I'm sure I can fix these Youtube problems. That Polsy/Blip one for unlockables? Not a friggin' clue. We'll see!

- Agro has another skin which is unlocked if you play the game with Ico data on the memory card. The change simply alters the diamond-shaped patch of fur on Agro's forehead in to an "I"-like shape.

- You should recognize the Mask of Strength, since it is what Emon's footsoldiers wear. Speaking of Emon, the Shaman's mask and cloak are identical to what he wears.

- The creator, Fumito Ueda, has this to say regarding the fruit in the garden (which lowers both health AND grip gauge): "The fruit in the ancient land was set to get you closer to non-human existence. The secret garden's fruit was set to return you to a human one.
