Shadow of the Colossus - Waves under the temple

I made this video a while ago but only just now decided to upload it. After I freeze the opening cut scene and make the Shrine of Worship solid you can see these waves appear just south of the temple. These appear in the game also when the temple unloads and loads again.

So the question is why are there waves here? Maybe they are an extension of No. 2's area as they are at the same elevation or it could just be a loading glitch? Who knows... there's nothing there in the regular game.

I also show these weird bridge shadows that appear in the opening cut scene. They extend beyond the temple so my first thought was maybe the bridge extended further south at one point and Quadratus' lake extended further west?

can you start gameplay commentaries of killing collosi?

@Shroomasaurus There's hundreds of those type of videos already out there, so that doesn't interest me. I only like to show things people haven't seen before which usually requires hacking things.

[benyabkn]

are you going to hack trico or ico? you got talents :}

[Nomad0168]

@benyabkn I wont be able to until a PS3 emulator appears - and that doesn't seem likely to happen for a long while yet... that is if The Last Guardian actually comes out! Seems to be delayed over and over again and Ueda has left Sony - so I've heard : (

Do these waves exist in the non cutscene Shrine of Worship?

Que vídeo massa,sou muito fã de SOTC,e sempre vejo os seus vídeos(não sei se vc é BR,mas msm assim,eu vou continuar vendo XD)

[siloraptor]

The amount of detail and work by the developers is mind boggling, today's developers can learn a lot from this game and from all that you have uncovered, thanks!

I find it funny that the "Black Bird" always loaded rock is there even in the opening cutscene XD

I wish Shadow of the colossus had a crap load more of a story and more to do in such a giant world. lol this looks fun whatever is going on here.

[ageshero]

I am horridly confused.... How... wha.....huh!?

[gasperalemao]

Let's see...

It seams like that this waves were made as a test or something like this. It's normal try to do things under areas that the player can't see or go in a production (but aways delete before compile the final version). With this theory there maybe other things unusual like other stuff (different places, even different tests).

Try to see if there are new passages or something like this.

PS: last year I found an unfinished place in the normal game. I'll up this week XD
