Shadow of the Colossus is IMO one of the best video games of all time and in my top ten Best PS2 games of all time list...along with Ico and The Last Guardian...and now as of last night there is a new beta build of Shadow of the Colossus released by Nomad Colossus, the authority on everything about this game! A 1UP build dated the 24th of July, 2005, a full three months before the retail release and even earlier than the previous Shadow of the Colossus beta! So let's take a look

Side question as I haven't kept up on this, but has anything playable ever come out for Ico on PS1?

Awesome. Will check this out weekend. Messed around with the E3 build many years ago. Hopefully more of the cut content can be dug up in this build. Even though this build is dated after the May 05 E3 beta, it could still contain more data and content. Some of those old E3 builds were stripped down for the show to stop people seeing more than they should. In-house builds often contain more.

Sadly, no. This along with PS1 Onimisha, and Saturn Shenmue are my remaining holy grails of betas.

Am I the only one who doesn't consider this game so outstanding?

The first things that come to my mind are the low frame rate, tedious world exploration and good, but not epic boss battles.

No you're not the only one. I really thought the low frame rate really ruined the game. (I mean it felt like it was 15fps which pretty much showed me the PS2 wasn't capable of doing the game but they tried anyway.)

What does this mean?

It's good, never understood the hyperbole though.

It's okay. I liked The Last Guardian better. That furry dragon dog actually won me over a little.

I can't even begin to imagine Shenmue running on a Saturn...that would've been interesting to see.

You're not alone. Found the game tedious, repetitive, and completely and utterly boring.

The majority of both games were apparently nearly finished on Saturn too.

I still would've enjoyed it at a glorious 10fps

Anyone try that Praey For The Gods? It's supposed to be like shadow of the colossus but I don't think it had the best reception at first.
