The game is coming out in less than two weeks, and just a few days ago we got word that the PAL release will have extra content, much like ICO.
The PAL version comes in a special package with exclusive new content.
Four postcards with four different motives (see picture)
The PAL version also features an exclusive interview with Fumito Ueda and Kenjj Kaido.
There is also a picture gallery with new concept drawings and drafts. Also a trailer for ICO is included.

Well I think this makes up for the launch delay? :D
-
I have been avoiding SOC threads and reviews completely. I will certainly pick up
the Ico re release and MGS3 Subsistence, but I fear SOC will let ME down somehow....:(
-
Had this game for a few months now. :P
-
Whens ICO rereleased btw?

Yeah well.. well.. yeah.. :(
You must admit the special edition is pretty cool though? ;) I have my special edition of ICO in almost perfect condition, apparently they have risen quite a lot in price.
Uni: Hmm, the same day I think. I hope its just a regular edition to PUNISH you all not for supporting the game the first time. ;)

I was searching for the GOD damn title but couldnt find it for a looong time.I demand extras :p

Got the PAL demo yesterday, and I like what I see so far.
Here is a 14 minute video of the demo that I recorded in case anyone hasn’t seen the game before.
http://files.filefront.com/ShadowoftheColossusavi/;4742930;;/fileinfo.html
In the video I give a small tour of the scenery before I take on the Colossus.
The demo only has one Colossus and from what I hear the first one is baby stuff compared to the later bosses. :)

NTSC = 60Hz 525 lines
PAL = 50Hz 625 lines
SotC lets you choose between 50/60Hz though, most PAL televisions support both frequencies.
Also when it comes to games there is the language differences, PAL versions often have English, German, French, Spanish and Italian language selections (I guess that\'s why there is a time delay between game releases between North America and Europe).
-
downloading...347 MB...:) ...see u later...
-
So what is better, PAL or NTSC?
-
Depends.PAL=higher resolution NTSC=Better refresh rate
PAL games usually look cleaner but are slower while NTSC games look slightly worse but run faster.
For example TTT is 60fps super fast in its NTSC version while the PAL is slightly cleaner but runs slow.
But today many games run almost as fast as NTSC in PAL like for example Rachet and Clank, Zone of The Enders2 and Jak and Daxter.Also most PAL games have a PAL/NTSC option to choose from

Yep. PAL = cleaner image quality (high res), better colours (?)
NTSC = Higher framerate, 30/60fps compared to 25/50fps.
About the speed difference. Games which are GOOD ports does not have a speed difference between 50 and 60Hz, lousy ports like Devil May Cry (hell, see all Capcom games for examples of bad ports :D ), Final Fantasy X or Tekken Tag run much slower in PAL compared to NTSC. FFX and DMC almost appears to run in slowmotion. ;)
-
Can a PAL game work on an NTSC system?
-
NO!Unless you choose the illegal way ;)
-
Any difference in regards to the gameplay or story or items?
-
Sometimes we get extras

Poster? You mean a stamp, right? Hobbits have dicks the size of female clits.

I found the difference....PAL version gets the 17th Colossus. ;)

The disc has an interview with Ueda and the other guy (if someone wants to see it I can capture it. Its only ~5 mins long), also a bunch of kick ass concept shots and a few images of the early version of SotC (the main character looks like the ICO dude).
This game is so beautiful, I spent 1 hour just riding around exploring the large world. Major plus for no frigging LOAD TIMES. :)
-
My wife loves watching me play this game. The scenery is breath taking. This game needs a GT4 Photo-mode.
-
Heh, you Euro\'s got your game in a cardboard box? We get plastic cases :p
-
We get plastic cases too okay? :mad:
-
People who play PAL games aren\'t gamers, they\'re just worthless posers.
-
Also of note, Europe doesn\'t go by ESRB?

They\'re trying to be "different", but in the end, it\'s just retarded.

You aren\'t American so that\'s a lie. Only America can allow your little country to exist including you Turkish rejects.

You live on an island therefore you don\'t matter.

You aren\'t Chuck Norris. He\'s American. Chuck Norris took a shit in the sea and called it Cyprus. You are the flies on that piece of shit you call home.
-
I am something better.And you are lying.We said that already
-
You are a Cyp. There is nothing positive about that. ;) :p
-
Nope.There is-->I am not an American.;) :p
-
You wish you were American.
-
No.You wish I wished I was an american.Keep wishing.
-
Why would I insult this country by wishing that? You are a waste of oxygen.
-
You tell me.You just did.
-
Stop it. All of you. Such childish mudslinging will get you all a pre schooler rating :laughing:
Anyway, Europe has Pegi rating.
See http://www.pegi.info
Pegi ratings are indicated on games. They have icons for each category ;
- age
- violence
- bad language
- fear
etc.
A whole bit more detailed than just age rating.
Edit : I bought the Ico re-release today, not SotC. Maybe I\'ll pick it up sometime, but I fear I\'ll feel the same as the editors at Eurogamer about SotC vs Ico.

We may lie - but guess what? We\'re the number one super-power. We can elimnate your piss-poor , third world country and never think twice about you all. Basically, in a nutshell, people in Cyprus don\'t matter to the world. You matter about as much as the homeless people in Africa.
-
for someone that lives in a super powerful country you are asking too much attention from me.
-
What was this thread about again? ;)
-
Well its not my fault.
Anyways Shadow of Colossus will definetely make it in my list.;)
Its a work of art
-
Every American that goes to Cyprus, swear its like going back 80 years in time. You guys are behind. No wonder you look at Americans as if we\'re from the future.
-
When I see pictures of you I am sure I ll see an insignifigant little being that has a big idea of himself
-
- When will this Norris nonsense die!!!?
- The cardboard cases are awesome, I wouldn\'t have my Silent Hill 2 special edition any other way, it\'s nice that exceptional games have exceptional packaging
- You guys almost cracked me up back there, but now I\'m sort of sad
- I\'m from Finland and we have Nokia and and stff si I can tell them to implant small explosive devices in ur phones they make and if your not nice htne all yur head will exPLODE and so STFU an stop bickering!1
- I need to cut down on my intake of JEFF K
- Just love each other like Samael would\'ve wanted

What\'s equally hateful is a forum regular, ditching us and then coming back and expecting everything to be all honkey dorry :p
-
Hunky dory, you mean? People hating me is just fine, I can relate perfectly well!
I deserted the regular status years ago, weird (that) people still remember me. I\'m just a lost soul nowadays, nothing\'s hunky dory and I don\'t really even care.
SmallLady, met someone (I think he was a regular here too) while playing EverQuest and considered getting married with them and moving to Florida or something retarded like that. That was years ago though. Our relationship was inane and contrived to begin with, maybe she actually is buried somewhere! Thanks for the thought! :)
Not that this thread is a derail magnet to begin with, but hay guys, how about that SotC, eh? Wow.
I\'ll get me coat.

I agree.
I won\'t be able to die peacefully until I found out what happened in this relationship.
