SOTC Techniques and open scource

Hi. My name is Eric. I want to start off by saying Shadow of the Colossus is in my opinion one of the best games ever made if not The best. This game does for current gen what Super Mario Bros. did for a dying video game market in the early eighties, in that the quality of the games mechanics and visuals surpass all before it! It brings inovation in the way of character control, character/environment, character/character interation that no game even comes close to except maybe ICO. I would love to see not some of but all of these techniques make it into some open source code.
Come on you programming geniuses, teach yourselves these techniques while giving to the open source community. Im in my 1st year of applied computer science so this is over my head. I know everyone will find the explination of these techniques facinating, programmer or not! You can read a translated interview with the dev team of SOTC here: http://www.dyingduck.com/sotc/making_of_sotc.html It is a great read. We need more games that allow you to feel the world in which the character "lives". Shinny, glossy, and sparkly do not = great game, Come On! eg, Moto GP vs Tourist Trophy.
