the ending sucked

so did the 16th colossi, i wanted a huge epic battle and i got a stupid tower that doesnt move and once your on him hes done.

I was hopin' for the shrine of worship to turn out to be a colossus...
If not, then i thought Wander would turn into a colossus and that you would have to fight him with Mono

I liked it. It all made sense, wrapped up a lot of loose ends about the colossi, but still retained a degree of ambiguity and uncertainty about exactly what happened.
I didn't like that Mono and Wanda never got to see each other, very sad.

the ending sucked

No it didn't, it managed to get a tear out of people, so that's pretty good, considering the standard for video game endings

I sure hope that chick has recently had a baby and has some milk in her bosom. Otherwise, the 'end' they didn't show is when the baby dies and she staves to death.

I hope she knows how to butcher a little deer, too...

realistic, not cynical.

ROFL!

But then again; that deer also gives kinda some proof that it can survive in that place.
It has trees with fruit hanging on it, it has water coming from some place, so, it looks like they could manage to live there, or, atleast be there for a while, while slowly preparing to find a way out of there some day.

It's not exactly the Hilton Hotel or something, but it will do for now.

If you're interested, it sums all the theories thus far from SotC and ranks which ones are the most likely.

If there was a second one....That would be cool if Dormin was some shadow (heartless looking) guy that paired up with you and Mono to fight new Colssi, while you where trying to get of the island (or whutever it is....)to escape Lord Emon who is coming after you.
And the baby I hope Mono dropped him off the stairs of the temple into the water thing at the bottom. (Just like I fell the first day. Lmao. I was all "WTF!?" "Water is there to SAVE you!!!" Then I saw it went up to Wander's knees and laughed.)

Meh, I seriously doubt there's going to be another Colossus. ICO and SotC were completely different, and I don't see how there could be another SotC that fits with the story... maybe a prequel though, when people inhabited the forbidden land, when Dormin first... I dunno, do whatever he did or something.



As for survival, there's plenty of fruit, lizards, birds, and fish around.

^ Yamauchi isn't the kind of guy that would do that. What we've seen from Ico and SotC is that he likes to create an idea and explore it immaculately. He isn't the kind of guy to make an Ico 2, Ico 3, Ico 4, to advance an old idea. Which means we may never see another SotC, but maybe we'll see something similar. Apparently the next game is going to be more like Ico =[

From what I understand, the developer has confirmed that Shadow of the Colossus is a direct prequel to Ico. Ico himself is a direct descendant of Wander - he is the first of the horned children. As such, he has to survive somehow and father at least one child.

I don't believe it's a direct prequel in any way. I believe they're in the same universe, and that Ico is a descendent of Wander, and you're right about Wander starting the race of horned children, BUT there's no direct relation between the games. We don't know anything about time frame or geography, except that one's in a distant empty land and one is in a castle. All we know is that Wander's baby eventually lead to the birth of Ico.

and i believe i remember reading somewhere that they will never "confirm" any sort of direct connection between the two games, and simply leave it up to the players own imagination.
