Came with a making-of documentary, a trailer for Ico, and a gallery of concept art accessible from the game menu.The Japanese and European versions fixed this so that you can only make the Colossus hit the wall at 17:XX. In time attack mode, you can make the Colossus hit the pillar at 9:XX.The Japanese and European versions fixed this so that you can only start moving when the timer starts. In time attack mode, you can move about 1.8 seconds before the timer starts.In the E3 demo, this tree (both low-poly and high-poly) possesses leaves. In the Preview version, there is some extra land behind the cliffs to the west of the tree that feature what look like vines leading up to it. This suggests that the tree may not have originally been quite so dead. In the demo versions of the game, it is possible, via hacking, to reach the tree, which again appears as a leafy low-poly model. This info belongs to the prototype articles of the respective builds. The map files associated with each Colossus arena indicate the developers' nicknames for these areas. This line was originally supposed to precede a line that does appear in the game, when Emon instructs his solders to behold Wander: 'Look… He’s possessed by the dead.' Perhaps the soldier did not detect anything unusual upon first arriving at the shrine and thus reported 'All is normal.'Įmon originally exclaimed this in despair upon entering the temple. It's possible that the voice clip corresponds to this unused line. This voice clip does not appear in the final game, and the line has no subtitles, even in the Preview version. However, in the ending cutscene of an unfinished preview version, a demo of the game released in an incomplete form, one of the soldiers speaks when Emon and his men arrive at the Shrine of Worship.

The only exception is one soldier saying 'Lord Emon!', as seen further down in this article. While the tone of the Japanese line indicates that it is spoken by one of the soldiers, none of Emon's men have any voice acting other than an occasional 'Ho!', presumably translating to 'Yes!', in response to his commands. This line appears nowhere in the final game.

You have full control of Wander as the colossus is dying unlike in the normal death scenes where Wander is locked. By pressing R3 again you can watch the death scene from Wander's point of view to get a unique perspective instead of the usual in-game death scenes. There is no camera control while using the item but you can zoom in and out with R2.Īnother feature is you can use it when the colossus is dying, so you can watch it fall to its death from its point of view. You see a single stationary frame of what the colossus sees and then watch it come to life from its point of view. You can even use it before the colossus is activated (again if you can get close enough). It has no function at all with Colossus #3, though it's not clear why. If it moves too far away, you will hear a low beeping sound when you use it, indicating the Colossus is out of range. You have to be near the Colossus to activate it. It works well for some of the Colossi (such as 1, 4, 5, 6, 13, and 15), but for others it is clearly unfinished as when the Colossi move the camera can clip into their bodies.
