Oh man oh man.
All the movement looked really clunky. From the colossus to the player.
Looks good, although I'm not a fan that they made a game that is already not super colorful even less colorful.

Movement in that game was always sluggish and clumsy for a reason.
The sky isn't purple and bloomy anymore, and there's modern shaders in it. I can only hope the climbing isn't janky as fuck and maybe there's a little secret in it this time. I remember trying to scour the landscape looking in ever nook and cranny trying to find a secret that would lead to a hidden boss, only to be disappointed. The "Beta Lands" videos were super neat too, especially with showing the gigantic dam hidden under the landscape.

I personally like it, never had any issues controlling the characters in the games, but the camera control has also never been good so I hope they improve that in this release.
praey for the gods murdered in the cradle
I'm not too sure what to think since I've never got around to playing the original. Kinda surprised it's being done, to be honest.
Oh my god it's so beautiful. I can't contain my hype. SotC has always been a classic favorite game of mine growing up
All these PS4 exclusives.
[QUOTE=Adnap;52351139]praey for the gods murdered in the cradle[/QUOTE] It's just an HD remake though, not a new game.
I just recently played the original, and the colors here are a bit off, and makes this look less atmospheric because of it. I would be highly disappointed if they miss this chance to fill the world with SOMETHING, anything. I explored the whole land looking for secrets, hidden ruins and there was nothing. Even climbed the damn tower and there wasn't even a squirrel up there. Also they scrapped so many colossus from the original game, there should be at least two new ones, but I already know they wont add any since this isn't handled by the original designers.
Apparently there were 24 total Colossi that Fumito Ueda wanted to put into the game, but only managed to put in 16. I wonder if this team can implement those 8 previously-unused Colossi into the game somehow?
It's the SECOND high-def remake. I'd rather hear about them adding in some of the colossi that were budget-cut from the original game.

The other one was a REMASTER which is nothing more than a glorified port with upped resolution because of better hardware.
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;52351286]No it's 1st REMAKE of the game. The other one was a remaster which is nothing more than a glorified port with upped resolution because of better hardware.[/QUOTE] and fucked up physics if I recall correctly
[QUOTE=Adnap;52351287]and fucked up physics if I recall correctly[/QUOTE] Not like the first wasn't jank as well. Although it was an easy shortcut to allow the colossus to flip you up to his head at times.
Shadow of the Colossus is my favorite game of all time, I beat it no less than 7 times including all the Hard mode stuff for the items. I spent countless hours exploring this masterpiece. It's one of those games for me that's more than just the game, but also personal because of what was going on in your life at the time you were playing it. This is a day 1 buy, I never tried the ps3 remaster, but this looks awesome.
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;52351286]No it's the 1st REMAKE of the game. The other one was a REMASTER which is nothing more than a glorified port with upped resolution because of better hardware.[/QUOTE] well for a remake the trailer sure does look like it offers nothing but more HD
[QUOTE=bitches;52351312]well for a remake the trailer sure does look like it offers nothing but more HD[/QUOTE] And to be honest, I'd be perfectly fine with it because I'm a visual slut.

Fucking hyped as shit, they can leave all the mechanics as they are, as long as I can play it again.
cool i can sell my ico + sotc collection for the ps3 because honestly i never intend to play ico again
[QUOTE=AntonioR;52351263]I would be highly disappointed if they miss this chance to fill the world with SOMETHING, anything.[/QUOTE] Is Team Ico behind the remake? And by that I mean, is Ueda behind the remake? Because if he is then I'll be fine with that but if not then I hope they just keep it as close to the original as possible and just make it look prettier.
[QUOTE=Swiket;52351344]cool i can sell my ico + sotc collection for the ps3 because honestly i never intend to play ico again[/QUOTE] Ico is one of those games where you hate playing almost every minute of it, but when the game ends you say "that was really good!"
so we've reached the point where we're getting a second remake/remaster of the same game why even bother releasing new games at this point, just make hd versions of old ones and rerelease them for every console generation
[QUOTE=bitches;52351268]It's the SECOND high-def remake. I'd rather hear about them adding in some of the colossi that were budget-cut from the original game.[/QUOTE] yeah was about to say... what makes this different from the ps3 remake or the ps2 original? is it now a standard meme for sony to remake SoC every generation?

They only added achievements. This version is a complete graphical overhaul; new 3D models, new textures, new lighting system, probably running on a new engine. This is something like Halo Anniversary; large graphical upgrade, but gameplay is identical.

But if the gameplay/content is exactly the same, why would I buy this? I already own the game twice.
