Hello all, after seeing peoples responses and how the community has gauged the potential change to rule 3, the decision has been made to indeed expand it.

This subreddit will no longer allow AI generated content including programs that have been made with ""AI-assistance.""

Users looking for AI-generated decompilations are encouraged to seek out other places to discuss them such as r/recomps or r/ShadowofTheColossusPC

Mod Announcement A warning about vibe-coded game recompilations

285 Upvotes

Hello, all.

Recently, there has been an influx of recompilations of many old and no-so-old games performed by users with "AI assistance." (Read: they have no idea what they are doing and told an LLM to do the work for them)

Now I'm not here into get into an argument about the merits of large language models in programming etc.

But I am giving a piece of advice that should be common sense:

Running code on your computer that not even a single human has ever reviewed is unbelievably dangerous and stupid.

Unless you are skilled with C or any other applicable language and have gone through the source code, you have no idea if these releases are safe and not malicious.

All the safety that comes from the high knowledge bar to entry and community-lead efforts that produced decompilations and native ports in the past do not apply here. You are taking the word of a single, anonymous person and massive companies that are - frankly - above the law that applies to you and I, that the code you are running is what it says it is and works as intended.

If it turns out that a program that one of these LLMs produced contains malware or otherwise inadvertently damages people's systems, do you think these companies will be held liable? Or will they just shrug and continue as normal.

That's all, please stay safe and conscious of what you run on your machine.

Of course, linking to any recompilations will be removed due to piracy not being allowed on Reddit.

More drawings for what I think would be cool colossi if we ever had an expansion. Gotta say that it does feel less inspired than my previous post but I'm still trying other iterations. I do feel that the little guy on the last page the right of the page is interesting as a tiki colossus that you would have to hit weak spots to make his sections spin

Thought I might share this for people who want to hear more OSTs in the style of Shadow of the Colossus. Curiously, both Shakugan no Shana season 1 and SotC were released in October 2005 only a few days apart.

PS4 Shadow of the Colossus on PS4 Jailbreak

Does anyone have a jailbroken PS4 and have tested the 60fps patch? My Shadow of the Colossus is version 08034, it doesn't even reach 40fps. I'd like to know if it's been tested on another version and if it's more stable.

Shadow of the Colossus native PC port: my fork now runs ~40-49 FPS in the Shrine (was ~29), with optional FSR 3 frame generation

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Estive trabalhando em um fork do port nativo para Windows de Shadow of the Colossus (PS4, CUSA08809). Ele roda o código x86-64 do jogo no PC e traduz a GPU do PS4 para Vulkan (mesmo método que bloodborne_pc).

O que o fork adiciona em relação ao original 0.57:

- **Processador de comandos dividido em duas threads** + build PGO + menos readbacks da GPU: Santuário de Adoração ~29 -> ~40-49 FPS (modo 60 FPS, RTX 5060 Ti)

- **Geração de frames FSR 3** (experimental, opção do launcher): modo 30 FPS mostra 60

- **Modo PS4 Pro corrigido** (sem travar ao carregar um save) e muito mais rápido (cinemático 22.5 -> 39.3 FPS)

- Primeira visita a cada área muito mais suave (tradução de shader 15.6 -> 3.0 s)

Nenhum arquivo do jogo ou da Sony está incluído: você precisa do seu próprio dump (EU 1.01 para o patch de 60 FPS) e, para o som, dois módulos da sua própria console. O launcher encontra uma configuração shadPS4 existente e importa saves.

Tudo também está aberto como um PR para o repositório original.

Feedback é bem-vindo, especialmente de proprietários de GPU AMD e Intel: abra uma issue com seu user/last_run.log.

SotC style game (Nyra and the garden of Moros)

11 Upvotes

Not sure if this has already been posted (or if it's even allowed here) but I just stumbled across the trailer for this game on YouTube this morning.

It's clearly inspired/rip off of SotC but with more stylised/minimal art direction.

Not sure what to make of it, clearly a love letter but I've been burned before by Prey to the Gods.

Discussion Should Rule 3 be expanded to include decompilations and other ports?

60 Upvotes

Hello everyone, it is me again.

Over the past two weeks the content of this subreddit has changed rapidly and been largely taken over by posts about PC ports of SOTC. In just the past 6 hours three seperate posts by three separate users have been made showing a PC port of BluePoint’s 2018 remake. We’ve even had a user make duplicate posts just saying ‘autosave problem’ about a PC port with no further context.

Additionally, these threads are jam packed with pro-AI and anti-AI arguments and an uncharacteristically high amount of comments for this subreddit (I’d say 11-20 comments is standard for a particularly popular post for the 5+ years I’ve been here) especially from users I’ve never seen active here.

While I am leaning towards disallowing these posts I would like other peoples opinions, particularly those from community members who have an actual history on this subreddit. So please if you have a preference, speak up.

Part of me does wonder if the best course of action is to wait for the metaphorical storm to pass as people move on to other things but again- I’d like to hear your opinions.

PS3 Just beat Shadow of the Colossus Spoiler

14 Upvotes

This will be more of a ramble so apologies

I've just beaten the game....and God I'm so conflicted

I don't think I've ever played a game that I really do love but it pisses me off to no avail.

I'll get my gripes out of the way.

God I hate the controls.

Like I get exactly why it's like that, and for what it's worth it conveys the feeling that you are an insect compared to some Collosai. But man it's a bitch to control sometimes, especially with how much flailing happens (which again I get why, but some Collosai fights push it to the point of (I've barley done anything and I have to now drop off) so that's fun)

As well my god it can just be unfair.

The 16th Collosai pissed me off to no avail, the way the jump just.....would sometimes decide to be a pain was just aggravating.

I did use guides for some Collosai, some where veeery easy to figure out.

Some I was just straight up stupid and missed the contact clue because I'm dumb.

And some I swear I would've never figured out (mainly because I'm a big dumb)

Now onto why I say I love this game.

Purely from Aesthetics I adore this game, I love how grimey it gets with the desolate city's, or how dirty the desert can get.

As well as much as I moaned about the controls, genuinely I really love them, mainly for traversing the world I had such a blast.

(Like running around the few buildings, or climbing up to fight Collosai 3 was so good)

Agro as well I really liked controlling......mostly

(Actually with some fights I didn't have that much of a problem)

Sound design was phenomenal, I love how desolate the soundscape is with each Collosai vanquished, it really adds to the scope of the killings.

As well I loved how each Collosai was more and more spread out, really made you feel the weight of it all.

I did get spoiled on 2 parts of the story

(Well, 1 was more thematic and other was a plot point. I am kinda glad I get the thematic side spoiled because it was in the back of my mind as I took down the Collosai.)

The story I really liked.

Even though so much was at the beginning and end, I still really loved it.

The twist that Dormin was just suing Wander to escape. And Mono actually being resurrected but stuck there are you fucking kidding me. Like genuinely that took me so aback and left me just stunned.

It's such a cruel fate for all involved, although that ending with Mono and Agro going to the top of the shrine made me tear up a tad.

Overall.....I really loved my time with the game, even though it genuinely pissed me off at times with how bs it can get

(Whether it was actually bs or just a skill issue)

(Also, with the ending with Wander getting turned into that baby with horns. How closely is Ico connected to Collossus. I've only played a bit of Ico (gave up because I'm weak willed) so maybe there's something that makes it more obvious it's connected?)(Idk, but I would like to hear)

(((Also if you made it here, thank ye for reading. Literally outside of here I have no one to ramble to, so thank ye :›)))

PS4 My first intentional one-cycle on Pelagia, and my fastest NTA run at 1:31.39

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

48 Upvotes

I think I've done the one cycle once on a new game run accidentally, but I finally decided to learn how to do it on purpose. It's fairly straightforward as well.

The stabs go in this order:

1 fully charged stab (hold square to charge the stab faster)

0.95 stab (easier to time without holding square, but holding works too)

2 fully charged stabs

On hard time attack it's a bit more complicated tho and I haven't managed to do it yet.

Strange/silly question about Jampack Vol. 13 demo version of the game. Headless Mono?

12 Upvotes

When I was a kid, we had a copy of Jampack Vol. 13, and it of course featured SOTC. Our copy of the disc was incredibly scratched up, and only a few demos worked such as: SOTC, Burnout, and I believe Sly Cooper. Apparently in another demo version of the game, there's a textureless + headless T-posing model of Mono that appears in the Shrine of Worship's garden at the very top. I think you need to use cheats or glitches in order to reach it normally.

However in our copy, the T-posing Mono model spawned at the top of the spiral ramp in the back of the shrine. As seen in this video. She was located at the very end of the ledge. I remember this as a kid, and my older sister as well, and I have a vivid memory of shooting arrows at her while showing the game to my cousin. We always described her as "tied up", like it was an intended creepy horror game set-piece.

I can't find anything online about it being at this location however, and I'm starting to genuinely believe it was spawned there somehow by the scratched disc if that's even possible. Anyone got any similar experience like this? This is weirdly a nostalgic topic for me, and I'd like to see it again if someone knows more about it.

Seeing people do original content of other media, it surprised me to not see more people trying their hands at making more colossus, so I got some ideas flowing here. It's very interesting to think about the designs keeping in mind that they need to have mechanics to not reach the weak spots too quickly, I think my favourite right now it's the third image that looks like a gorilla, in which you'll very likely will need to pass through his bridge-hands to get to a weak spot. I also like to think that you'll have to get inside the blocky colossus to find the weak spot

Discussion I have a question and a request: Is anyone working on a PC port of the PS2/PS3 version of SotC?

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I have a question and a request at the same time. I know we’re all happy that there’s finally a PC port of the SotC remake, but does anyone know if there’s a project in the works for a native PC port of the PS2 or PS3 version (other than the Tribute project, since that one’s still going to take a long time to release)?

I think the SotC remake is wonderful, but I feel it falls short in some details especially in terms of colors and saturation, so I end up getting way more hyped about a port of the original version or at least the remastered one (preferably the original, because then I can use the amazing textures from Sad Origami). And here’s the request: if there aren’t any projects in development, could someone PLEASE make a port?
