2nd colossus PART 2 of 2 - Shadow of the Colossus in HD 1080p with pcsx2

[poepsaus5]

how to climb? on pc

[iiNoxiousHD]

I've never played this before I see it referenced everywhere I'm glad it's on ps3 at some point I'll buy this and ico from the store

[1212rocketlauncher]

I'm happy this came out for PS3 cuz I played it all the time on the PS2 :D

[pureawesomeness2012]

this guy's a right arsehole... he goes out and kills giant creatures just for the fun of it!!!!!

[TheBoredomOtaku]

@pureawesomeness2012 He was told to go and kill them by a god in order to save the love of his life and atone for his sins, not exactly fun when they could just step on you and kill you.

[physcogroove1]

I can't even get to this one. Everytime I cross the huge gap It freezes. =(

[Fuzzyfoot88]

I work in the film industry and I couldn't help but notice that Part 1 and 2 are separate plays. It's a curse for me to notice it I guess. Why did you need to separate clips? Why didn't you add the cut scene at the end either?

[INNUENDO88]

@Fuzzyfoot88 It was the very first one I captured. At that time I could not manage to keep pcsx2 from crashing after like 5 mins of recording... And when I thought about making a new one later, well, the vdeo already had a lot of views... so I left it this way

[Pjan00]

@Fuzzyfoot88 I noticed it too. Does it mean I belong to the film industry?

[Fuzzyfoot88]

@Pjan00 Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night.

[F1NJP]

One of my favorite colossi in the game purely because this epic-as-fuck song is being played.

[blackrack2008]

what's interesting to note is that this game stutters on a real Ps2

[baseball391]

new one new one new one =D

[denji94]

wth lol super jump at 2:05

[blazinblue777]

its so sad to see a colossus die

[khristian671]

now that what i call bullshit

[TheGuitarkid15]

I love taking my time when it came to this. Such an epic game of unreal proportion. I enjoyed it, this guy enjoyed it, and everyone should enjoy it. Haven't seen a game this well thought out in forever.

[memorexdrc]

I kinda feel bad when they die too :/

[JunoMacguff2012]

What are the snakey, ribbon things that knock him out every time he kills a colossus? Is it a spoiler if you tell me? If so, nevermind. I only played about half of this game awhile ago, loved it, but had to stop because it wasn't my game, and I had to leave the owner's house. I got up to the sand snake colossus. The desert turtle was fucking hard!

[sdgundum990]

i feel bad everytime one of them dies :(

[gonzalez108]

you really good at this game took me forever to beat him

[crazytrumpeteer]

could you explain the steps to get the emulator and then the game? I have the ps2 version but i also have a 1080p computer and this looks a lot better

[kjjejones42]

I couldn't help but laugh at the horse desperately trying to get out of the way of the collapsing colossus at the end

[McDicker96]

the music sounds like its from galaxy quest

[Galvanizer67]

Amazing.

[EpikaDenU]

peta will get you...

lol

[riffraff11235]

You should try doing this with ICO. I wonder if the PS3 collection version will look this good?

[xfsbikerhcjcx]

My poor C2D @ 3.4ghz just can't get this kind of speed. It is about time to upgrade anyway.

[kjun13]

Great job syncing your stabs with the music! I always did that!!!

[Vaporifix]

Very nice! Are there any games that you can't bump up to this quality level? Such as ZOE: The 2nd Runner? It would be pretty impressive to see that running in high-res and smooth like this.

[INNUENDO88]

@Vaporifix

I'll see into it

[Kamis5050]

I wish I could use my PS2 Saves to play it on PC with graphic like this :/

[xanyleon]

I really hope they make a sequel for PS3, XBOX360, Wii and PC.

[Yoaltecuhtli]

@xanyleon PS3 hd reamke announced

[xanyleon]

@Yoaltecuhtli That's gonna be awesome!

[vioz87]

wow... looks like x360 graphics. excellent

[vioz87]

wow... looks like x360 graphics. excellent

[FELIPEPKPK]

ok thank you man just beat the game yesterday =)

[INNUENDO88]

time for hard mode then, it's even more exciting that way : D

[kurosag1]

hmm now im on xp sp3 , coz my vista brokened , dunno why this game is so slow for me , specs quade , q6600 2.4 , 4gb ddr2(3.2 xp) , hd 4850 , meybe coz im runing it on dx9 , tell me do i get more "boost" on 7 ? coz im whant to instal it as second win enyway , and witch version of 7 would be good to my specs , i know im noob :S and 1 more noobish question how u oc cpu coz i wanna try it once :S

[INNUENDO88]

lol see my reply in to your other new comment :D (in the 6th colossus vid)

btw OCing is bit more complicated to explin here... but don't go in your bios without learning the aspects of it, so use google generously!

[kurosag1]

sry 4 double comment something messed with my ff , i get little boost by installing latest dx9 and ati driver and its also deal with black bar with other (faster) gsdx plugin :O well i will try oc anyway , time to googling hard =]

[INNUENDO88]

whatever you do ... do NOT leave the voltage control on AUTO... just a concerning word of advice

[FELIPEPKPK]

Core 2 Quad Q 9400 2.66

2 gb ddr2 ram

HD4670 how can i configure my emulator?

i did a configuration here but the fps was unstable 60-140 it speeded up

then went to normal speed then speeded up

[INNUENDO88]

It's a crime to use that cpu at its stock speed. Get into overclocking a bit. Get to at least 3.5 ghz, it's not that big o' deal. And you need if you want to play this game fairly smoothly.

Use the pcsx2 + gsdx compilation I've sent you in pm.

There's also a text file explaining how to set up.

And tell me the results please : ]

[FELIPEPKPK]

@INNUENDO88 hey bro thanks for the link im downloading it now , lets see what happens,

so i cant overclock due to the place where i live

ITS EXTREMELY hot so it will fry the cpu

also i have an intel motherboard so i cant do it

and i dont want to risk myself , ill tell you how the game runs here , lets hope it crancks up in 60 fps =)

[Canysha]

whoa this game looks SO AWESOME!! *___*

[Xcyper33]

How will this run on my rig?

8800GT

4GBDDR

E2200 Dual core 2.2 (OC's to 3.3 GHz)

[INNUENDO88]

Your cpu is a problem there : \

You would need just a little extra, like 3.6 gHz would be enough to run with only level 1 VU cycle stealing wich would give a smooth framerate, but With 3.2.. you would need level 2 cycle steealing... It will run but your framerate will be low.

You graphics card would be up for the job though

[thedutchkid100]

i'm intimedated

[CRAKIZGOOD]

emm just bought a ps2 slim and some component cables so i can play this game on hd tv

but ....... why the hell didnt i know about a ps3 emulator

i hope it will look as good as this with progressive scan on !

[INNUENDO88]

uuh, nope... Nope, the game will be rendered at 640 x 448 with progressive scan enabled. What you see in this video was rendered at 4x multiple of that, 2560 x 1792.

Your framerate won't be as smooth on a real ps2 either...

srry : \

[vegito4690]

thanks for the vid, didnt know there were good ps2 emulators out there

[INNUENDO88]

The project improves pretty fast. I never would have beleived a year ago that all this will ever be possible... I guess one thing will nevert change, that it needs a lot of horsepower xD

[vegito4690]

where can i acquire the game for the emulator now that ive got it?

[INNUENDO88]

Don't you mean where to get the emulator ? : D

The game should be acquired from a shop : D

[FrosChannel]

Awesome emulator. Seeing your PC though, it takes of a hell of a machine to run it at a high resolution and good frame rate.

[railtracer1]

i love this game.

[999CLOUDO9999]

Wow nice. But can you please post your Settings for me. like the speedhacks and EE/IOP option etc. to get this nice smooth gameplay, or OCing CPU to 3.8GHz+ will do the job? and what is your PC specs please.

[INNUENDO88]

The less EE cycle and VU cycle speedhacks you use, the smoother your framerate will be. There is no cpu and gpu power as we speak that could run tihs game without any speedhcaks. I have to use Vu cycle stealing's first level, that's enough to grant full speed all the time. My specs : Core i7 920 at 4.24 gHz (you don't really need an i7 for the job, but more and more mhz...) with an overclocked GTX 285 (wich acutally performs better than a 295, cause 295 is a multi-gpu solution.).

[999CLOUDO9999]

i see thanx a lot. nice cpu you have thou ;)

[Omniback20]

THIS IS SOOO EPIC

[aawsome69]

he killed the poor monster =((

[rob6van1dam9]

HOLY SHIT!!! the frame rate!! how did u.......omfg! amazing!

[POLARISRACINGBOY]

This gAme Amazed me, I wated to Get, Cause it Such an Awsome Game

[INNUENDO88]

But for some reason, in later gsdx revisons, although the option is still avalilable, its result changed. The layers got out of their playce again, no matter what. I found that the latest gsdx revision that worked correctly is : gsdx-r2406.

[INNUENDO88]

There are pixel offset issues in the game, resulting in incorrectly aligned layers of the graphics, and someitmes such errors that you speak of. To fix this, the gsdx creators implemented a new feature for running the games in an exact mulitple of the native res, wich USED TO result in perfect alignment of all the layers.

[swallowmyeggnog]

all they need to do is work on lighting and textures and this game would make semen come out of my eyes

[omgthegamer]

wow! what are your computer specs, i just need to know! I wanna see if I can at least run this on my pc.

[INNUENDO88]

Actually, the trick is that anyone could make this vid : D because pcsx2 has a built-in capture feature, wich only captures all of the rendered frames and audio, so your playback will be perfect no matter how slow it was in real time when you recorded...

BUT that doesn't mean I do not play at such resolution and framerate with full seed ;-)

My specs :

Core i7 920 OC'd to 4.24 gHz

3GB RAM at 1616 mHz

BFG-tech GTX 285 OCX version

Win7 32 bit.

[INNUENDO88]

Wait, I forgott to answer your question : D

What you would need to run this game DECENTLY on a PC:

Two cores of CPU are enough, but they need to be overclocked to at least 3.8, optimally even more. It's not a miricale to achive, really.

4 GB of RAM, (3gb in case of an i7 architecture)

32 bit win7, 64 bit is not a winning option in the present. Not for gaming.

A directx10 compatible graphics card. Not a brutally good one, something like a 8800gt would do fine, I think...

[omgthegamer]

wow thanks! your specs are insaane...haha. I've never seen anyone OC their CPU to 4.00+ gHz.

My specs:

Intel core 2 duo e7500 2.93 gHz

2GB RAM

Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 1GB

Win7 64 bit

Well, now I know I can at least run it, the question is how well it will be able to run lol. I've been thinking of overclocking my CPU but I'm unknowledgeable of how to do it. Im also using a somewhat cheap mobo which im not too sure can be good to OC the cpu hehe

[INNUENDO88]

You can learn the art of OCing with google, the first thing you would need is a good heatsink and a good fan(s) with it.

Also, you would get better performance with a 32 bit operating system, for 98 % of all the apllications and games, including pcsx2. ESPECIALLY with specs such as yours. Don't go 64 bit, people. It's simply noobness.

[romuloxolympia]

fuck me in the eyes! THAT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[spudnickator]

I think i just came.

[HighChocobo]

Very very nice man. 480p mode helps make it true 1080p when you change the internal res. Kudos for posting this awesome vid the game looks incredible.

[INNUENDO88]

Wut? : \

Why would 480p mode be better than 1080p mode ?

Maybe you just found the vid when it was still under conversion, when 1080p mode wasn't yet available? But it is now ! : )

[HighChocobo]

No i mean some ps2 games have 480p option. When you use 480p mode on pcsx2 and then let it go 1080p it will look much better 100% (no shaky screen or scanlines) It will be true 1080p and not a hybrid between 1080p and 1080i. So in short it looks better then if u werent to pick the 480p option.

[INNUENDO88]

@HighChocobo

Oh, but of course! : D The progressive scan mode, as I prefer to cal it.

This IS in progressive scan mode :]

You probably thought that this is interlaced mode because the motion blur is working.

Ideed, for some reson, pcsx2 disables the motion blur in this game, when you switch to progressive scan mode. But that's not all!

...

[HighChocobo]

how please

[INNUENDO88]

dammit I youtube won't let me insert a link

[INNUENDO88]

there's a thread named "shadow of the colossus!!!" (three exclamations at the end)

on the pcsx2 forum site. There are detials there..

[HighChocobo]

ok thanks

[INNUENDO88]

@HighChocobo

There are actually several graphical layers and effects that are disabled not just only in prog. scan mode, but in interlaced mode too.

Including the so called fairy shading, some self-shadows / toning on the characters, some sparkling on certain objects, the motion blur, some background elements and so on.

Fortunately I was able to come up with a trick to enable all of the graphical layers and effects for this game, in progressive scan mode. That's how this vid was made too.

[Strogord]

Majdnem tökéletes emuláció; leszámítva a karakternél az árnyék hibát.

[INNUENDO88]

Amikor még igazi ps2 gépen játszottam vele, sokat fantáziáltam arról hogyan nézne ki ez a játék valami nagyobb felbontásban mint 512x448. Kár parlagon hagyni ezt a potenciált...

Az árnyékokat is lehet tökéletesen leképezni, szoftveres grafikus-csipp emulációval, de úgy csak eredeti felbontáson lehet... szóval szerintem megéri nagyobb felbontásban hibás árnyékokkal

[Strogord]

Tény és való, hogy így sokkal ütősebben néz ki, mint egy átlagos Tv készüléken.
