A pinch of Shadow of the Colossus

It looks insane, better than most current gen games even. Bluepoint definitely went all in with this remake. The fur on the colossi looks so good.

I hope this doesn't run like complete putrid dogshit like The Last Guardian did on Ps4 vanilla. That was pathetic to behold, what was conceptually a ps3 game performing like that.

I know, other team game and all that jazz, but no ps4 footage until now, I think. it gives me reservation.

Indeed... which remains the reason why I still haven't touched the game despite being incredibly hyped for it. The existence of the Pro still concerns me that devs won't be encouraged to push the base hardware as far and pull out all the stops with a games optimisation. Can't justify shelling out £300-£350 for a Pro just to enjoy a game like this at 60fps. Regardless i'm sure Bluepoint have done a much better job optimising this game compared to the devs working on The Last Guardian (I HOPE).

Beautiful, well deserved. 1440P is far as PS4P should get IMO. I would think 4K owners would also take gfx over resolution

Finally Shadow of the Colossus looks as gorgeous as it always deserved to. I hope it sells very well, it absolutely deserves to. Sony should support Bluepoint Games so they can make a game of their own instead of just collections and remasters.

one of the best games of the PS2 era. happy to buy this for a third time. looks incredibly good for a remake, the fur tech alone is jaw dropping. and i saw a gif over at ERA that shows a really nice screen filter system, so if you want that bloomy washed out look of the original, it seems you're able to achieve something similar.

the only thing i don't like, which you don't really see enough to be a deal breaker, is wander's more generic looking face (he was hardly super distinct anyway, but they've somehow made it look even more average)

The thing im worried about the most is new players complaining that the world is empty and boring became open world games are so condensed nowdays. Majority of games today are so afraid to loose player's interest that something needs to happen every 3 seconds. This game is not like that at all. I hope this sell well because i would love an ico remake or a new game from bluepoint

And yet The Last Guardian never ran at 12fps in intense scenses like Shadow of the Colossus back in the day, which was still a perfect 10/10 game and deservedly so.

I guess the putrid dogshit opinions of some gamers and journalists have just shifted in the last 10 years. Makes no sense whatsoever when you stop and think about it for 2 seconds.

@fireflew So I guess you skipped out on Shadow of the Colossus back in 2005/2006 on PS2 for running even worse? You missed out big time, just like you are missing out on The Last Guardian now.

Looks stunning. I will definitely buy it, need to get to that shrine on top of the temple/sanctuary finally.

KORNdog: Wander looks quite faithful the the original to me.

Of course I played SotC on the PS2, it's one of my all time favourite games. The Last Guardian situation is completely different due to the fact that there exists a version of the game that runs FAR better on the improved hardware of the Pro. I will absolutely play TLG eventually, but was massively discouraged after finding out just how poorly it ran on the base PS4 and didn't want to ruin my first experience with the game. Unfortunately there are so few reasons for me to shell out the money for a Pro so it's hard to justify the cost. Maybe if FromSoft made a Bloodborne Pro patch it might incentivize the purchase more!

I played the game 3 times and I had zero problems with it, it ran flawlessly. Twice on vanilla ps4, once on pro.

yes please, give me an ICO remake or simply make the ps3 hd version ps4 compatible. It was good enough for me, it looked gorgeous in HD.
