Barba the Goliath (Colossus #6)

February 25, 2011 | SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS

For a long time, I thought that Barba the Goliath was possibly the less interesting between the first bunch of colossi. Because it looks like Valus and other humanoid colossi, its puzzle is a piece of cake and it’s also far too easy to kill. The arena too, is fine looking but does not add anything to gameplay. But after some time, I think its easiness just strenghthens the idea that colossi are not evil, and so the feeling it leaves in the end is that /we/ are on the evil side. This set has been created via PCSX2 Emulator running at 1920×1080, Ps2 textures rendering x4, Hardware Antialiasing x1, OFFSET HACK enabled to remove some shading issues, ELIOTCOUGAR’S HACK enabled to remove the disturbing Team Ico’s signature-bloom.
