Upgrade YOUR TEARS
Team ICO’s 2005 classicShadow of the Colossusis getting a full remake for PS4 next year. Sony Japan’s executive producer, Yasutaka Asakura, took to thePlayStation Blogto reveal a comparison video, showing off the hard work thus far.
The video features the PS4 Pro release of the revamped adventure, running alongside the original PS2 version and it’s PS3 re-release. Huge leaps have been taken in improving the game’s visuals and, more importantly, its notorious frame-rate issues. It certainly looks great and moves with fluidity. Hopefully as much improvement will have gone intoColossus’unwieldy camera.
“Though we have repeatedly confirmed thatShadow of the Colossuson PS4 is a full, ground up remake of the all-time classic, it is a fact that is harder to communicate via text or stills,” writes Asakura.“To make it more clear, we have created a comparison video… that shows the amount of work that has gone into this project to fully leverage the horsepower of modern gaming consoles.“
In related news, a Special Edition will also be available for the title. Costing around $50, the set features a steelbook casing with printed manual, PSN avatar and themes, Colossi stickers, art cards, a world map and some in-game cosmetic items.
