Shadow of the Colossus - Early Shrine of Worship/Quadratus battle

Here's some more footage from the early build of the game. Wander wakes up in the SoW after defeating No. 1, you can see the floor is different and Wander makes sounds like Ico when he runs. Then there's a short clip of the earlier, 'meaner' looking Quadratus.

How I would love to get my hands on this version!

That floor was in the OPM demo I think.

My, if this is the build from the time of OPM demo, this version would have a shitload of differences !

@PikolUploader That ornate floor doesn't exist in the OPM demo, or the PSU. See here:

I wonder if there's a secret copy of this version lurking around somewhere on the internet. :3 That would be so amazing. I would totally download it and play it all the way through even if that does meaning it will run only at a 40 fps frame rate.

@masterlinx767 Believe me I've looked but I don't think this version was ever released to the public. I know they made a demo with just the first three colossi and there was another version that was the full game with different colossi health icons. But only Team Ico knows how many builds there were.

That is so cool Nomad:].Can you do one on MALUS please?

[Nomad0168]

@MrVold3mort I didn't make this, I'm just showing the few small pieces of footage there is for this early build of the game. If I had more I would upload it. Sadly, there's not much out there regarding this, just a few snippets from different videos.

If the mouth was closed, Quadratus would've looked better!

I noticed 2 things.

Basaran was the 3rd statue in the lineup (which is like... what?) and Quad's eyes were indented like the beta colossi that were never used. They mightve been in that version :( makes ya wish it was up for download eh?

[wesleyfilms]

Dem eyes man, dem fuckin' eyes.

Quadratus looks better when it seemed the mouth was open

[CoalarDrake]

Hmm, I'm not sure which version of Quadratus I prefer - This beta version, the final version, the first skeleton-like version, or the 'angry eyes' version in the demo reels. xD The many faces of Quaddy.

[masterlinx767]

@Nomad0168 True. But who knows...days of searching could lead to finding a another copy of it. Or maybe one day the copies will somehow get leaked onto the internet. :3 probably not likely to happen..but would be awesome if it did.

and.. i never seeing that colossus has eye like that...
