1. bad animations
2. bad monster design
3. survival elements in a sotc successor
4. no awesome looking horse
5. anticlimactic music
6. survival atmosphere
7. cheap cold effect
8. closed pathway rather than open grounds
these are the reasons this will not be nearly as good as sotc with the technical advancements

I'll be honest, this whole thing makes my blood boil. I'm praying for it to do well, and do some different things, because otherwise I'm just going to be disgusted. Feels like a half-assed ripoff of SOTC as it is now and I'm hoping that that will prove only to be because it's pre-alpha right now.

Looks good, but there's a distinct lack of originality. Maybe, include more platforming challenges between boss battles? Or, they could include smaller mini bosses, or basic enemies. This kinda thing is essential. If we wanted to play Colossus, we'd just play it, not this game.

There is a lot of games using this very cheap looking engine and its such a bad graphics engine, i get it, they dont have the money but i'm sick of seeing this engine in most games even bf 5 had it, i mean that's EA an dice using a very cheap engine talk about making profits
reply

I know that this is a bit nit picky but the term spiritual successor implies that there is some continuity from one game to the other. The same studio/publisher/director/writer, anyone who was involved in the conception of the idea, and is now furthering that IP.

This game looks great for alpha. its new and fresh it's about about someone made a new shadow of colusses like game because the orginal creators are not making a new one. so what the hell do they have to lose. Going to pick this up when it release
reply

Why are people complaining about this game?
I've always heard that people desperately want a sequel OR a game that plays like Shadow of the colosssus!
people talk about the animation being bad, but for me, it isn't that bad for an alpha.

There are circumstances deficiency, gamers still waiting for. These gaps are about to end while we are playing Tomb Raider or Uncharted. But there is still. All players wanted to feel free everytime they play. But they cant have it.

I do like the dynamic camera angles, they seem to be keeping the rule of thirds in mind, which is what SoTC's camera did as well, however I'm not a huge fan of how the camera tilts to make the world look lopsided.
reply

I would say the essence of Shadow of the Colossus is its uniqueness as an experience. I don't think copying a boss fight and the boss itself qualifies as an inspiration or as a spiritual succession.
reply

Like others have said, animations need some work. The UI at the campfire also needs to be updated. For pre-alpha though this is awesome. I would be fine with paying money for an early access build.
reply

not sure it counts as a spiritual successor unless it's made by the same company. SOTC is the spiritual successor of ico, so the last guardian will probably be SOTC's spiritual successor
reply

The game looks good it has power but it needs alot of fix. The animation, the movement, they need to add jump! Idk guys i like it i juat dont want the game to mess up after release
reply

Ha, spiritual successor in the same way Mega Man 3 was a spiritual successor to Mega Man 2.
That's okay though. I'd rather people copy kickass games than shitty ones.

reply

-Oh you copied this! Oh you copied that! Spiritual successor my ass! SOTC SOTC! - Just shut up and be grateful there even is a game like this that's going to come out.
reply

I can't help but feel underwhelmed by the design of the colossi. It feels too generic and does not look anywhere near the intimidating look of the colossus in SOTC.
reply

3 people making a spiritual successor to Shadow of the Colossus that seems to even expand on the original concept of Shadow of the Colossus. My mind is so blown
reply

This looks great. Definitely be keeping an eye on it. Especially happy it'll be available on PC as Shadow of the Colossus was only on PS2.
reply

looks like -Shadow of the Colossus meets The Long Dark-. Are they going to release it on different platforms or it's only for PS4?
reply

Her body movements and pose when she walks is a little weird and unnatural. Aside from that this looks really good.
reply

Its about time someone is stepping up and daring to make a game like Shadow Of The Colossus. Best of luck to them!
