Question for the Wall-o-Answers.

Toady- What changes (if any) are you planning for the fighting AI (what there is) to account for the new bodies and all the new ways to kill things?

I have to ask myself what components a mad dwarf artificer would require if he were to try to build one of those sonsofbitches. Would they be forged in pieces (+steel left arm+) and later assembled around a mechanism? Would these limbs be dual-use as dwarven prosthetics? Should the creation of a colossus's head require another mechanism plus at least one cut gem to act as an eye?

The mind boggles.

I never figured Collosi to be clockwork.  I always thought of them as living statues, like this guy from Jason and the Argonauts.  They just need weak ankles and lava for blood.

I thought he had molten Bronze for blood or something... Ehhh hardly matters... In some versions of the Story... Talos could shoot fire. (In one it is a Mechwarrior!)

I am getting all my Mythology mixed up now...

Mind you that Bronze isn't really weaker then Iron when it comes to armor apperantly... (Ill have to look that up again) steel though is another story! Steel Collosus!

I used to figure colossi to be just giant walking solid masses of bronze, which somehow work.

I always figured them to be animate statues, like the Colossus of Rhodes (hence the name) meets Ghostbusters 2.

Will severing organs be under the wrestling menu if you have a weapon, or do you just hit the guy and hope that you cut his lungs out?

I've heard that the human brain is - in many respects, at least - a better processor than a computer.  Are you considering a port to a brain anytime soon?








How about a monkey brain?

I always pictured the colossi as something like this:



Except maybe with metal armor, or something.  I dunno.

Needless to say, Shadow of the Colossus is amazing.

The problem is that none of those respects is speed.

I do like that severing, grabbing, and soiling of entrails was something that nearly happened automatically because all the code was in place and just waiting for the guts to be pressurized.

Couldn't it just allow [ I ] -> Gain posession of small intestine, then [ A ] -> Grab neck with small intestine?

'cause that'd be flippin' sweet.

Hmm...speaking of wrestling, will the new squad equipment orders make wrestlers put back on all the cloths that they take off each other eventually?

The ability to hit someone with their own body parts needs to go in at some point, so that I can grab a guy's sword and slit his own throat with it or something similarly dwarfy
