If you browse around for a while, you'll notice that there are more than a few Shadow of the Colossus music videos which try to capture feelings such as love and solitude present throughout the game. But, by far, none come closer than Nolan's "Forget the World." With amazing choice of music, montage and editing, "Forget the World" successfully tells Wander's story of sacrifice and persistence to bring back the only thing that matters to him.
ToS: What were the main themes you wanted to portray in "Forget the World?"
Nolan: Well, you basically hit the nail on the head in your description. Love and solitude are both heavily pervasive themes in the game. On my first playthrough of the game, I loved it but found the story to be merely above average. It was looking back on it, however, that I started to appreciate the plot more. When I started thinking about how much Wander must have loved Mono to soldier on through not one, but sixteen seemingly impossible fights in a row. The title for the video came from a feeling that I took from the game about Wander. He fled his home with a sacred sword to a forbidden place and, knowing that he would ultimately pay a heavy price, did everything it took to bring back his love.
Also, I think that sacrifice was a big theme in the game, and I tried to represent that in the video as well. I mean, come on. I included the death scenes of every character in the game!

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
