@@queencancerous5332 I'm sick of that excuse. They had three minotaurs and two little dog-like creatures. They even had two you could consider similar to worms. It wouldn't hurt to have two birds.

@@JustSomeKittenwithaGun the battle would be a mix of Avion and Phalanx, "sick of excuses" lol do you think they would just remove it without a reason? If they removed the Colossi there was a good reason for it, it's simple as that, and if you are "sick of excuse" go back 15 years ago and try to make the Colossi work LOL
@@JustSomeKittenwithaGunsick of that excuse lol cause programming a flying bird with fur in a terrain and make it go low in dirt a terrain without bugging the shit out of the game is super easy lmao add that it was a ps2 game just enjoy what they gave to you, cry baby
Just an observation, but The Roc was discarded due to problems with collision detection, right? You can see it going a little too low at 2:52. The camera angle is set awkwardly high so that you can't see its face going through the ground most likely. The SOTC Team must have figured they could find a solution to the collision detection problem in time, hence why the Roc made it into this promo in the first place. Very interesting video!
Seriously, Nomad...this channel is amazing. I only found out about you because of the craziness of the remake, and I am absolutely obsessed with your findings over the years. SOTC has always been one of my all time favorite games, I feel somewhat ashamed that I am just now discovering you. Thank you for your dedication!
gcgamer Deve ter usado algum tradutor. Eu já entrevistei ele uma vez pra comunidade br de SotC do Orkut, ele ta ciente que a fan base dele é em grande parte br.
BRKs TEUCU O nome dele é Michael se eu não me engano e ele nasceu em 1968, por isso o nome no TH-cam. Ainda tenho ela por aqui, talvez poste em baixo de algum video ou coisa assim.
In the Ico pre-release footage, Yorda is quite different.With a horned head, tattooed arm, & lacking a etherial-white glow. She wears a T-shirt (red shoulders, light bottom) with dark (green, I think) shorts; quite similar base attire to that of Wander.Wander has a headband, poncho, belt, (just like Ico) and leather shinguards. Just design trivia.
Elements from this video (and others) shows the artistic similarities between the 3 games. The blue/white/grey/black color scheme of the colossi is shared with The Queen (Ico), The Chimera (The Last Guardian), & the a few cut Colossus health HUD icons.
It's so weird to see the early plans and game footage from Shadow of the Colossus. How it was originally going to be an online game, with 48 colossi, but from how it is today, I'm happy with the way it turned out.
Amazing to see new stuff even after 11 years and finally seeing some raw footage of the Roc even if it was in it's early stages,but you can still see how far it got through development,before being put to the side, great work man, keep up the good work as always
Just found out about your works and research.. and lord,you are sooooo dedicated and it feels so right to learn about the lore.. this game had me wondering about à lot of details and watching your vidéos fullfills me with à feeling of learning something
Admiro mucho lo que haces en este canal. Puede parecer algo minimalista y sin importancia, pero ver la dedicación que le da alguien a algo que le gusta me hace ver lo que una obra de arte como SotC puede llegar tanto al corazón de un gamer. Sigo sorprendiéndome con toda la información que sacas del Team ICO. Sigue así, ya que siempre es interesante y curioso saber cosas. I really admire what you do in this channel. It may seem minimal and unimportant, but see the dedication that gives someone something you love makes me see what a master piece as SotC can touch the heart of a gamer. I continue to be amazed with all the information that you get from Team ICO. Keep it as it is always interesting and curious to know things. Greatings from Ibiza, Spain.
one thing ive been thinking about when it comes to Phalanx, maybe it cant leave the desret area because it uses the heat to keep itself afloat? This is just something ive been thinking about so its not a super serious theory, but i feel it can explain why phalanx cant leave his area.
at least we have a clue what's the roc arena looks like in detail from this video! well done nomad! always yours no 1 fan and keep up with the good works!
I've been subscribed to you for years, and yet somehow I missed when you posted this video last year. This is the first time I've actually seen the footage of Roc. I've seen it in gif form, but never in video.
Good question, because it lookes like they were traveling for days to even get to the forbidden lands, maybe dormins influence helped somehow once they got there, after all the lands are unexplained and clearly magic exists there in some form, all just speculation though
There is a demo where you can play the first three colossi, but I have never seen any evidence of it... looks like it was never released to the public.
I also had some promo marketing screens in a booklet back before the Vita came out of a seemingly now cancelled version of this, ICO, and Final Fantasy Type 0 I'll try to find them....
Is it even physically possible for you to find things about this game No... We've passed the physical plane of finding things about this game we are on the astral plane
This is really cool Nomad, I've been watching your videos for years and am shocked everytime you find new and cool stuff about this game. You definitely have a following and I always look forward to seeing your videos.
I've thought for a long time that it would be cool to make a prequel, where they have someone in the forsaken land to basically keep people out, and having some of the original Colossi that got scrapped put back in, and having a story around them. Like the person guarding the forsaken land had to do something about them because they break loose from their arenas or something. After all, spider and Phoenix on their images look like they're in oddly put places. But idk. I just like to image what a sequel or prequel to this game could look like. I would love to fight the scrapped Colossi, although I can only hope they create another game like this someday.
So, originally you could attack anywhere on a colossus as long as you're in the part that is highlighted on the bottom-left corner? Huh, I wonder why they changed that.
1:36 "legions of collosal statues" obviously more than the final 16. Imagine if they had the ps3's hardware at the time. Most of them would of been fleshed out without worrying about memory limitations.
I reckon they probably went with more standard boss health bar because it matched the game's more minimal nature. Much thinner and takes up less screenspace. The old one is still badass, though.
the vitals position on valus changed after the release,one is the shoulders,and now its not there,which means they deleted that position of vital and let the other vitals be in their place
I do wish there were more colossi revealed in this. They also should have recorded the battles of the unused colossi because I just wanted to see them and all of their glory.
from what i read, Roc was the only one with gameplay footage. the others were either scrapped before any gameplay footage was made or they never got the chance to due to time.
i don't remember exactly what this means, but gaius is on the promo more than once first, it's in an open place, which is weird, but you would expect that of an old promo video for this game, everybody knows about colossi on the open field so, why is gaius trapped in his arena on his second appearance?
Youth is normally considered between the age of 15 and 25.... so he can still be late teens to early 20's. My guess he is between the ages of 17 and 20.
I don't know how you can still showing us "new" Shadow of The Colossus and ICO things, thank you for your awesome channel.

@@davidvasey5065 it’s fuckin wild how dedicated this game really lives on
Roc looked so awesome and menacing. It's a shame he didn't make the final cut of the game.

After all this time, we finally found out where that footage of the Roc came from. This is truly a great moment in history...
The game is so old and you still prove that there is more to be found

Did you come across that info through a magazine?
I noticed it too, it was an amazing find
They could have put him in the remaster, what a lost opportunity.
this is maybe the greatest discovery you made, you showed us from where that roc foontage came from and many stuffs more
The artwork in that book is stunning! You're very lucky to have it, and to keep finding all these things.
Amazing to see that you are still finding new things about this game thank you.

You do realize this game came out on PS2 right? It wasn't gonna be online.
@@thescruffinator8830 Ps2 had online, my dude.
@@castor_u My bad, I grew up using PS2 but I only had a few games so.
guys why cant someone mod some more colossi into the game?
Its awesome seeing footage of one of the cut colossi ingame.
Thanks once again Nomad for some great content. Your are our the real MVP .

You forgot the most imoirtant thing, when entering the shrine of worship there are 24 statues all loking the same
I've never touched Shadow of the Colossus, but I love the lore

Trust me, if you still haven't - you should! :-)
What lore? The game don't even have a story

I know no one will read this, but at 5:07 there is a hide spot, which explains the temple event.
Still coming up with gems :) thank you.
Beautiful, simply beautiful! Thank you for sharing this amazing find with us, and for always being so dedicated!

Nathalie Mykløy Cool theory, but the Echo-location theory seems more probable.
Maybe it's a mix of both?
There are also the Rings that Nomad made a video on.
thats where my theory came from. I just forgot about till now.
The rings theoey is about how the rings have a magical barrier that prevents its escape. Nothing with heat is a part of it
Another wonderful find. That booklet was especially amazing to see. Thank you!
I'm watching this FANTASTIC vídeo again! These demos are always really cool to review! Thanks for this vídeo!

OMG ! The booklet !
Thanks for your work, The Nomad Colossus.
Man, thanks a lot for this awesome and dedicated work you do.
I love this game so much and im always happy to watch a new video from you :)
This channel is awesome, I remember playing the PS2 demo disc and always playing SoTC.
havent watched a sotc video in a while, and hearing that music throughout the video was so nostalgic. awesome vid nomad!
Thank u nomad for all the footage u give us fans

Como eu queria ver algumas dessas coisas no jogo, principalmente alguns colossus descartados.
Artemis tem aí no canal
Queria ver no mínimo como seria a batalha dos Colossos descartados.
vdd, só ao ver uma luta contra Ader Flam ou Dinion ou já ficaria feliz.
Artemis tipo no remake?
Artemis aparece o Black bird ou como preferir Avus
this reminded me that last guardian is so close hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah
I hope Nomad will delight, making us all a bunch of pretty videos showing interesting & weird stuff most folks never noticed.
Proctor Conley one can only hope
*One can only bet on it. :)
I wonder how Mono's body kept preserved for so long, if so many days had passed. Maybe she wasn't all dead?
Good question, because it lookes like they were traveling for days to even get to the forbidden lands, maybe dormins influence helped somehow once they got there, after all the lands are unexplained and clearly magic exists there in some form, all just speculation though
I wonder if there are any other demos and promo discs we aren't aware of? They could hold more clues to the development of the game.

I would love to see those if you can find them ; )
This was perfect, everything I wanted to see. Thank you very much for making this =D
It's awesome to see how many changes has got sotc
I kinda like the Gaius clip in the disk where Wander is clinging for dear life, whereas the other looks like he's just picking him up
Pretty neat. Gotta love finding new and interesting things about a game that came out 11 years ago.
damn, love ya and glitterberry for bringing this to us
Very interesting, and as usual great video editing. I like the artworks from the booklet, never saw them before
Is it even physically possible for you to find things about this game
No...
We've passed the physical plane of finding things about this game we are on the astral plane
I want to see more of SOTC.
Sometimes I wonder if we could play the early versions, it would be so amazing.

This is really cool Nomad, I've been watching your videos for years and am shocked everytime you find new and cool stuff about this game. You definitely have a following and I always look forward to seeing your videos.

I liked Ueda's paintings (guessing they are by him because they are the same style as the Japanese ICO cover).

I love your videos man, keep up the good work!
The booklet is awesome, great find! :DDD
Got my popcorn ready
In this promo video Phalanx is ENORMUS
Dude if they kept one enemy from the concepts it should have been the devil colossus that thing was awesome
I love how valus was just bleeding so much
I love all your vids ❤
So the Roc was in late enough in development to make it to promotional footage... damn shame to see he didnt make it to the final cut
So, originally you could attack anywhere on a colossus as long as you're in the part that is highlighted on the bottom-left corner? Huh, I wonder why they changed that.
this booklet make me think how a SOTC novel could be
How in the hell is no one seeing that Wander is stabbing Valus´s shoulder and that his icon changed along with there being no visible sigil
1:36 "legions of collosal statues" obviously more than the final 16. Imagine if they had the ps3's hardware at the time. Most of them would of been fleshed out without worrying about memory limitations.
Nomad Colossus, you are always surprissing :)
Amazing work! Expect to see the same on TLG! :)
Oh, that's impressive. Thanks for sharing.
(Bem, agora os fãs trabalham em dois projetos refazendo o jogo com os Colossus descartados. Quem diria.)
Solid work as always.
its sad that phoenix was in this promo trailer but was ultimately scrapped in the end product
That’s roc not Phoenix
Boss health meters look awsome, wonder why they went with a standard blue bar in the final game.
I reckon they probably went with more standard boss health bar because it matched the game's more minimal nature. Much thinner and takes up less screenspace. The old one is still badass, though.

first, it's in an open place, which is weird, but you would expect that of an old promo video for this game, everybody knows about colossi on the open field
so, why is gaius trapped in his arena on his second appearance?
man you are one AWSOME TUBE
awesome as always!
The heads up display looks more better here than in the actual game. 😂
When it comes to the music at 0:31 I keep thinking I'm going to hear Agro neighing. :)
A online finding from México?!?!?! Man i didnt knew about that!!
🇲🇽Orgullo mexicano 🇲🇽
Thanks a lot, one more time it's a fantastic video :)
amazing as always!
You know I'm a big fan of shadow of the colossus and I'm gonna get the PS4 version when it comes out
and what if the game would have been split into 2 cds as a retail version for more colossi i wouldnt have minded that
They had a nice chance of doing that in the remake
Great find!
2021 e eu ainda quero ver os colossus excluidos mais alguém?
Tem um cara refazendo o jogo com os colossus demo
You're amazing, Nomad
mind blew away
wow, thanks for sharing!
"The youth..." I always assumed Wander was just a short man, but I guess maybe he is actually a kid? (teen)
Youth is normally considered between the age of 15 and 25.... so he can still be late teens to early 20's.
My guess he is between the ages of 17 and 20.
Brian Worden True!
Brian Worden
LE refers to him as the "demon man"
Awesome. Thank you Nomad.
Great find!!!
o pronto demo do wander nessa versão ta mais assustadora doque essa versão de agr
vc acha ? so os chifres estao maiores
+André Filipe a cara dele parese mais de difunto nessa
No remake ele tá cara de possuido memo
Hell this promo hud looked damn nice!!
Referring to Wander as "shadow" gives another meaning to the Western title o-o
That is a fantastic find.
This is amazing!
