Though Shadow of the Colossus<\/strong> is regarded by many as one of the most immersive single-player experiences in video game history, creator Fumito Ueda<\/a> initially intended for it to be an online title. While this is a well-known fact, Ueda recently gave some extra insights into the game\u2019s conception, including the title that inspired him to (attempt to) make an online co-op game in the first place.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Denfaminicogamer<\/a> marking Shadow of the Colossus\u2019 20th anniversary, Ueda says that back in the day, he found himself playing a lot of DICE\u2019s multiplayer FPS Battlefield 1942. Impressed by the fact that each of the 64 characters in a match had a human player behind it, he thought to himself, “This is the future of gaming.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
