Malus the Grand Gigas (Colossus #16)

August 22, 2011  |  SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS

Here we are. Portraying all the 16 colossi has been a great ride, sometimes a tough job, but it feels really good. I don’t think there’s a SOTC portfolio like mine in the whole world, with this quality in screenshots and photography too. I had to tweak the emulator a couple of times and improve myself a hundred times before arriving to this quality and also to the end of this project. Thanks also to the guys at NEOGAF for some helpful hints. What can I say about Malus? If Phalanx it’s an homage to Panzer Dragoon (IMHO) I think Malus it’s an homage to Go Nagai, the father of Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger and Grendizer. There’s something in Malus head and arms that reminds me the Mazinger Z design in particular. Does anyone know something about it? Current settings are: 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.

  1. I really have to congratulate you for all the 16 colossi pictures. I’ve never seen pictures as good as this ones. I’m REALLY impressed.

    It would be interesting if you did a post (or posts) of pictures from the opening, ending, and interesting cutscenes (like the one where Mono awakes in Wander/Wanda’s dream/vision when he is knocked out in the Shrine).

    Greeting from México!

    • Ciao Adriana, thanks for your sweet feedback. As you can see my SOTC collection is rather old, and I don’t plan to come back on it in the near future. But you never know, maybe. Thanks again for your words! Greetings from Italy
