TeeKay Mike I could get that because they probably can only enhance the already game but so much where as if they made a new one from start it can be fully up to date with graphics etc if you look at it like that. Its like giving a already drawn picture a touch up vs drawing a brand new picture.
CraZyEfi A remaster is not just an HD update, a game can be re-built from the ground up but and still be a remaster, so long as it preserves the exact same mechanics. A remake usually introduce new mechanics that update a game to more modern standards. This is a remaster as none of the core mechanics are altered. A remake would be something like DOOM, that takes the original game and updates it both graphically and mechanically.
This game defines "cinematic" in a way that most AAA games fail to do. The gameplay is so gripping and exciting and commands your attention, the music nearly perfectly encapsulates the feeling of drama and adventure and the visuals are incredible. All of this combines to make gameplay scenes that feel like they're being skillfully directed by an artist-you. It feels great. It's not a weakly written, badly acted frankenstein's monster of big budget games, egregious CGI cutscenes and lack of gameplay. It's pure and it's beautiful.
Magicfoolbus 580 ikr either give it a 9 or a 10. For practical purposes simply give it 9. That tells it's an amazing game just not perfect without flaws.
Playing this for the first time and my god its jaw dropping the sense of scale and music as you climb and hold on to the colossus is so tense and the visuals are nothing short of beautiful I'm ashamed of myself that I didn't play it sooner
Alex San *And was does more "power" always mean in Sony fans' eyes 🤔🤔🤔, gotta love that Sony fan intelligence 😂, but I still love you, stay blessed my brother ✌️ 🙏 💗*
I cant believe they managed to make a game better than its original, especially when its considering its a remaster. PlayStation is off to a great start for 2018! EDIT: My apologies! I meant to say remake!
TheGuyThat PushesThePullDoor what ? I spend plenty of time playing games. This comment and it's reply to you took all of 1 minute. What's your point ? Also when this game COMES OUT NEXT WEEK I will be playing it. I take it you're a bored Xbox owner ?
I’m totally hoping to have the entire Team ICO collection on PS4 now that Shadow and last guardian are on it.. Square Enix did put every Kingdom Hearts game playable on PS4, there’s a precedent.
One of my favorite games of all time. 13 years ago I walked into a blockbuster and saw it on the shelf and thought it looked cool so I rented it for my ps2. Little did I know I would be playing one of the most amazing games I’d ever play. Similar story to how I found Legend of Dragoon, another favorite of mine (Playstation, please remake this game). Anyways, I’ve bought this game for ps2, PS3, and I can’t wait to play it again on my PS4 pro. 2018 is a great time to be a gamer.
@@HunterJs2 Because in this case, that premise is not meant to be known, nor is it at all implied when the game begins. Those are seriously major spoilers. Just because this is a remake of an older game, this really irked me spoiling such a crucial surprise for the newcomers.
After 18 years you would think that there isn't anything left that hasn't been seen or found. Yet new discoveries are still being made & the game continues to be studied, scrutinized, discussed, & played. Simply amazing!
A game doesnt start at a ten and then gets a minus for every flaw. It starts as a 0 and has to earn its points. Also probably because its a remake. Look a Ocarina of Time f.e. similar case.
LadyFinger *I was wondering the same for the amazing muliplayer work of art that is Monster Hunter Worlds, exactly why most reviews are just someone else's biased opinion rather than credible fact.*
probably due to length of the overall game and lack of trophies non related to the story-driven plot. Usually shorter games that don't have a lot of explore-encouraging trophies lose a few points asa result
I’m happy that they remastered this game this is definitely my favorite game of all time. I’m just hope new players will enjoy this as much as I enjoyed it 12 years ago ❤️
The controls and camera feel like they are still very much in the 90s. The way the camera swings out to the side to make something look artsy may look pretty but destroys the control you have. This should have been fixed for the remaster...there is a reason games keep you in the centre of the screen.
This was my first time playing Shadow of the Colossus. I've heard such incredible things about it over the years. If anyone is interested in this newcomer's honest perspective I just uploaded my review of the game!
Alex San That wasn't the point you were trying to make. Games with strong artist vision and emotional soundtracks...that was your point, which could apply to any game, indie developed or not. So by your own example, Xbox does in fact have games like this.
This game on PS2 was my childhood. Even though I was only 11 when it first game out, as soon as I started playing it I realized it wasn't like most video games. I knew almost right away that this game was something special.
Got the special edition and am having such a great time with this, I never had the privilege to play the original since I don't own a PS2 or PS3, altho I am pretty glad that I get to experience it for the first time in it's best version.
Luka Marjanov I don’t know if you can emulate it, but if you can I hope you have fun with this masterpiece ;) if you can’t well I hope you get a PS4 soon :)
I had no idea there was a "remaster" for the ps4. Damn, i had tears in my eyes when is see this. And the music is remastered too. This is a true remaster, mostly a remake
Stuck in the 90s Well, I don’t think I would agree because when I think of great PS2 or SNES games, my mind immediately leaps to several games considered by most to be some of the greatest games of all time. However, when I think of the PS4 I think of some damn great games! Just not any games that have been unanimously accepted as “greatest of all time”. Bloodborne is about as close as the PS4 gets to that territory. The thing is that the greatest games of all time broke ground in some way. They took risks and did something revolutionary. Currently, Triple-A development cannot afford that same kind of risk. However, with digital distribution we are seeing independent developers receive funding for new and innovative titles. But usually the best and most cost-effective way to play independent games is on PC.
I agree with Sean Pokorny for the same reasons he listed. It has to be between the PS2 and SNES. Probably followed by the N64 for revolutionizing 3D gaming
The_Real_BruceWayne You know damn well this PlayStation exclusive gem should've gotten a 10/10. Shadow of the colossus is one of the greatest games of all time and this remaster surpasses that. This reviewer is clearly delusional. This game deserves nothing but a 10/10.
Graphics that bring tears to your eyes. Still as impactful as when i first played it. Can't believe this was a PS2 game. Especially with the PS3 being a juggernaut
I just started playing SoTC & so far, I have slayed 8 of the colossi. It’s been an enjoyable experience. I love the simplicity & straightforwardness of the game.
Got this game 4 days ago, already slain 3 colossi. Game is 🔥. Thought I was downloading a port from PS2 until I saw the size of the download. Then I was blown away by the remake's graphics, music, an beauty. No complaints over here.
@@roachrarri952 that's because it was made from the same company "Team ICO" lead by Fumito Ueda. SOTC is a spiritual successor to ICO. I love both ICO and SOTC. Two of the best games ever. I really hope they would remake ICO so more people could enjoy it, it's kind of a forgotten gem.
The original is easily one of the greatest games ever made, never thought it would be my thing but having played it I can now say it’s one of my personal favourites. A must play!
Was very pleased to play this game loved just about every minute of it. But developers at Bluepoint could have at least tried to make the game less clunky and or remove all glitches even after two years. There’s a major glitch where if you die at the bridge to the last colossus and respawn at the shrine outside the doors. The doors leading to the colossus will stay open even though you need to use your light again to open it. And theirs an encounter with the the 14th colossus your screen can become black. But my was I very pleased!
All of you above me are wrong/right but without the real reasons. Shadow of the Colossus PS4 is Shadow of the Colossus, but remade from ground up. Graphical improvements like this one is not as simple as slapping HD models and textures on an existing game.
It's a remake by definition. Doesn't matter how similar it is to the original, the creation process makes it a remake. The similarity to the original is irrelevant, it's just that many gamers see these terms used in situations that make them associate remaster with little change, and remake with a lot of change.
I’ve never played shadow of the Colossus until now and I must say it is amazing The way you take on a Colossi and after you beat it you feel a sense of accomplishment and a feel of regret because you just taken down a huge titan and an innocent life 😢😢😢. But not only that The graphics just blew my mind away of how beautiful this game was and I couldn’t believe that this game is 13 years old and how wonderful it looks from the original. This is truly one amazing experience that I recommend to everyone and to those that have played it once.... it just became one of my favorite games of all time and may it continue to wow every new generation of gamers from here on out. Well done Sony, team ICO and Bluepoint games.
This game is literally just wait 2 years for the AI to actually do what it's supposed to and then when it finally does have everything mess up because of clunky controls and camera movement.
Wow, first month of the year has been great for gaming. Dragonball FighterZ, Celeste, Monster Hunter World and Shadow of the Colossus. This year is going to be awesome!
Like Medievil, Shadow of the Colossus is a prime example of what a remake of a classic game should be. It reused the dialogue from the original game, as well as the character designs, and the framerate definitely runs better than the PS2 original or PS3 remaster. Yet despite all that, it doesn't feel dated or slowed down by the pacing of the original games cutscenes or dialogue. Fighting Colossai feels just as tedious, but still fun now as it did back in 2005
Red Bull2800 and the Xbox x has what? Yeah thats what i thought nothing how sad is it that Sony brings out a remake of an old game and xbox can't make a new one lol.😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
Red Bull2800 "A Walking Simulator" that is considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest game of all time and being released again will sell more than most current Xbox titles. Shall I go on?
mel b if it was a remastered it would only be graphics, but this game is running a new engine, new asset, improve character model, improve everything, making it a remake.
Lightning Destroyer2 its the same thing ffs, if not what do you mean by graphics? Not high poly assets? The game will look better if they just adjust the lighting? Lol
In basic terms: *Remake* - something that is completely rebuilt from the ground up, *Remaster* - something that is touched up and restored to LOOK better, hope that helps.
Mario G Since when do remakes need a completely different structure? It's called a remake by the devs because 1: They have already remastered the game 2: This is such a bigger improvement over the PS3 remaster that they didn't think it would do the game any justice to just call it a 'remaster'.
I've played some of this on PS Now. Can't wait to play the remastered. Also, I can't wait to play Dark Souls remastered. Two masterpiece games remastered.
I've been playing it for the march release ps plus bit I just don't see the appeal. The controls for me are all barld and it's hard to control the horse. I don't think it really deserves a 9.7 but that's just my opinion
just started playing it. must be the game with the worst controls/camera I experienced in the last 10 years. I would be really disappointed if I didnt get it for free on PS+
In a word, yes. Square Enix have always had a reputation for pushing hardware to new limits, and the graphics already look stellar from what they’ve shown. The question is less whether or not the graphics will be this good, more whether it will come out during the PS4’s lifetime as planned, or end up on PS5. (After all, FFXIII started out as a PS2 game before moving to PS3, and FFXV started out as a PS3 game before moving to PS4.)
Java Monkey they’ve already said that FF7 remake will be coming first to PS4... so that could possibly mean a PS5 release as well like a launch title. Or maybe it’ll be times exclusive and brought to the other consoles down the line.
Jonathan Parnes I imagine it will come to ps4 and then perhaps they will port it to the pc and xbox. I hope it gets a pc port. Then it will truly look amazing.
Ibrahim Chacín Figueroa go Google the definition of a remaster vs a remake. It's the same game but nothing was used from the old assets. It's a remake.
I've waited 13 years to play this. Now the graphics are at the level I wanted it to be, back in 2005. Got the Ps4 pro. The 4k TV. Game installed. And now I'm trembling in anticipation. Here we go.
@@debraball7505 the song that plays during most of the fights is called The Opened Way. There's extended versions on TH-cam as well as covers. Have fun!
Watching playthroughs, I saw one colossus that had a bugged AI loop that prevented it from responding to the player properly, and an odd choice of physics response during the final climactic scene that changed how it feels in an important way (for the worse, but only if you try to game it hard, and I know some will). Still, an amazing remaster. Beautifully done.
This is what all future remastered games should look like. Not just a slap of HD.
Kegan Gowen?
How is it harder? A remake is starting from 0.
TeeKay Mike I could get that because they probably can only enhance the already game but so much where as if they made a new one from start it can be fully up to date with graphics etc if you look at it like that. Its like giving a already drawn picture a touch up vs drawing a brand new picture.

No this is a remake.... a remaster isn’t done from the ground up like a remake
9.7
I really wonder what could have caused the 0.3 hit...
Not enough water?
may be because it is a remake
Emilio Barzini is this that Pokémon ign review reference? 🤣
Emilio Barzini you touching yourself at night while you play this game
Maybe cause it's not perfect? For once an amazing game gets a fair score yet people still complain. Get over yourself.

That game is overrated, but fun to play for sure
"Nothing short of" and "Sheer" are used in at least 50% of IGN reviews.
It's like when you have to write a paper and try to make it sound like you actually did work.
More like 80%
I was reading your comment exactly as the reviewer said "sheer".
really? thats nothing short of sheer genius.
Your comment is sheer genius, and nothing short of astounding.
Masterpiece, this isn't just a game
It's art
joaquin trujillo games are not art stop with that bullshit.
Games are art, don't be pretentious.
"games are not art" are you being sarcastic I if not that's kinda a dumb thing to say
Soviet Ninja Games are art. You can deny that all you want.
Gwyntorias@ he's soviet ninja...what can u expect from soviets? the only art they see is kalashnikov...
9.7 rather just give it a 10 and be done with it.
uhMayzedHD what?That makes no sense.He didn't think it was good enough for a 10...
I know, all he does is talk about how amazing it is and then knocks it .3 for no reason
Was there really not enough good to bump it up another .3?
Wweah weahhh!
Da Bossman i think Mayze means either give it a simple 9 or a 10. The ".7" is a pointless decimal
Magicfoolbus 580 ikr either give it a 9 or a 10. For practical purposes simply give it 9. That tells it's an amazing game just not perfect without flaws.

The review didn’t mention the awful camera.
And the awful physics
-my english is bad
I thought this game was boring after getting to the second fight. This game is just a horse riding and stabbing simulator
Its a great game but yeah the camera and the jumping/climbing needs alot more work.
@@andyortiz7292 The more bosses you kill the more challenging it gets you really have to use your brain the first two are just practice
Or how repetitive it is, I'm on my 3rd Colossi and I've turned the PS4 off, boring 🥱
My favorite game of all time, glad they remade it for PS4. One unforgettable journey & experience.
What type of game is this? It's on sale for $13 right now should I buy it?
@@adriang9342 Its an empty feeling. I just finished it 2 hours ago. Might not be the greatest game but it was a really unique experience.
Meeeh It is actually overrated

so am i
Oh so graphics now matter again?

ok, noted

I cant believe they managed to make a game better than its original, especially when its considering its a remaster. PlayStation is off to a great start for 2018!
EDIT: My apologies! I meant to say remake!
Aren't remakes/remaster generally supposed to be better?
Salman Sohail "A remake"!!!
Dragon Ball Fighterz, Monster Hunter World and now THIS. That's three great games in a row.
Salman Sohail Yeah great start for Sony 👏🏼 I’m happy
Salman Sohail than
90% of top comments: Complaining about 0.3.
Yeah... annoying! There will always be room for improvement so wise decision not to give perfect scores to anything!
I can't wait to play this. Looks so beautiful.😍
Mother what's your point?
Ultraman 70 I have purchased this game three times. PS2 PS3 and PS4.
even if you own a ps4 you still gotta time it right when your gonna ask your parents for cash for the game.
Mother not about graphics it's about gameplay.
Mother STILL looks great and btw it's 2200p which is upscale 4k
Another reason to own a ps4 just in case you didn't already.

A fantastic review for a fantastic game. You may have given it 9.7, but I'm giving you a solid 10 for a job well done
can't wait to play this game that i am finally getting it with ps plus.

There’s nothing to spoil. The game is always the same. Go to monster, kill monster the exact same way. Finish
Don't forget about all the spoilers it throws out while the video shows solving the colossus puzzles.
This game is more about the journey anyways
Wouldn't have expected less
Vanguard but wouldve also expected more ;(
9.7 for those of you in a hurry.
Here is a question. He hasn't said anything negative about it, nothing. He was all positive. But yet its not a 10.
Jazzifizzle No1 that's ign nothing new there
Jazzifizzle No1 You must be new here.
Jazzifizzle No1 It's not a new game, don't think they would ever give a remake a 10/10 because it lacks innovation.
X'O Host They gave the last of us remaster a 10. There's no logic behind IGN's point system. That's why its a meme.
"Sleeping sister, slash queen, slash lover" is their last name lanister?
This game literally looks better than the world in real life.
After 18 years you would think that there isn't anything left that hasn't been seen or found. Yet new discoveries are still being made & the game continues to be studied, scrutinized, discussed, & played. Simply amazing!
Lost 0.3 score about trophies it's so hard
What makes them so hard
Why not just give it a 10? You literally said nothing bad about it.
A game doesnt start at a ten and then gets a minus for every flaw. It starts as a 0 and has to earn its points. Also probably because its a remake. Look a Ocarina of Time f.e. similar case.
Machete Lucius
Tlou remaster is a 10.
LadyFinger *I was wondering the same for the amazing muliplayer work of art that is Monster Hunter Worlds, exactly why most reviews are just someone else's biased opinion rather than credible fact.*
Machete Lucius Or a 5. Or just the final score.
probably due to length of the overall game and lack of trophies non related to the story-driven plot. Usually shorter games that don't have a lot of explore-encouraging trophies lose a few points asa result

also this game is only $40

Damn g you predicted it
If this game sells well its a strong chance well get an ico remake but on the ps5 since were on the ps4 final years

Got this game 4 days ago, already slain 3 colossi. Game is 🔥. Thought I was downloading a port from PS2 until I saw the size of the download. Then I was blown away by the remake's graphics, music, an beauty. No complaints over here.
Wanted to buy it this month and it's free on PS ➕ ❤️ yeyyyy. Finally gonna play this.
They should “remake” ICO
This game reminds me of ico
Ico it was for ps2 the main character was a young boy
@@roachrarri952 that's because it was made from the same company "Team ICO" lead by Fumito Ueda. SOTC is a spiritual successor to ICO. I love both ICO and SOTC. Two of the best games ever. I really hope they would remake ICO so more people could enjoy it, it's kind of a forgotten gem.
IGN: 9.7/10
Not enough shadows
Best game i ever played
The original is easily one of the greatest games ever made, never thought it would be my thing but having played it I can now say it’s one of my personal favourites.
A must play!
Was very pleased to play this game loved just about every minute of it. But developers at Bluepoint could have at least tried to make the game less clunky and or remove all glitches even after two years. There’s a major glitch where if you die at the bridge to the last colossus and respawn at the shrine outside the doors. The doors leading to the colossus will stay open even though you need to use your light again to open it. And theirs an encounter with the the 14th colossus your screen can become black. But my was I very pleased!
This month I really thank you ps plus
IT'S A REMAKE, MARTY. NOT A REMASTER! SAY IT WITH ME NOW: R E M A K E !
It's actually a remake to the remake. It came out on the PS3 too.
Steven Ortiz ps3 is a remaster. Ps4 a remake
ItsThatChrisGuy Why are people so sure that the game is a remaster? A remake doesn't have to be a completely different game ffs
All of you above me are wrong/right but without the real reasons. Shadow of the Colossus PS4 is Shadow of the Colossus, but remade from ground up. Graphical improvements like this one is not as simple as slapping HD models and textures on an existing game.
It's a remake by definition. Doesn't matter how similar it is to the original, the creation process makes it a remake.
The similarity to the original is irrelevant, it's just that many gamers see these terms used in situations that make them associate remaster with little change, and remake with a lot of change.
Looking forward to this, since I never got around to it on PS2.
People be boasting that $50 is cheap while in my part of England it is £20
I’ve never played shadow of the Colossus until now and I must say it is amazing The way you take on a Colossi and after you beat it you feel a sense of accomplishment and a feel of regret because you just taken down a huge titan and an innocent life 😢😢😢. But not only that The graphics just blew my mind away of how beautiful this game was and I couldn’t believe that this game is 13 years old and how wonderful it looks from the original. This is truly one amazing experience that I recommend to everyone and to those that have played it once.... it just became one of my favorite games of all time and may it continue to wow every new generation of gamers from here on out. Well done Sony, team ICO and Bluepoint games.
My verdict: 10/10
We need another game in the same universe, were dormin breaks free again and destroys the forbidden land, AND U HAVE TO DEFEAT HIM😀....
This game is literally just wait 2 years for the AI to actually do what it's supposed to and then when it finally does have everything mess up because of clunky controls and camera movement.
Clunky af
All you do is shoot an arrow at it
lol the instant gratification only love fps and AAA type of kids lmao
@@yopeepthestyle8308 Lmao. I'm a huge soulsborne fan.
you serious!?!? the controls and camera arent actually that clunky
Im playing this amazing game right now but the camera and the horse are so damn horrible
Wow, first month of the year has been great for gaming. Dragonball FighterZ, Celeste, Monster Hunter World and Shadow of the Colossus. This year is going to be awesome!
Like Medievil, Shadow of the Colossus is a prime example of what a remake of a classic game should be. It reused the dialogue from the original game, as well as the character designs, and the framerate definitely runs better than the PS2 original or PS3 remaster. Yet despite all that, it doesn't feel dated or slowed down by the pacing of the original games cutscenes or dialogue. Fighting Colossai feels just as tedious, but still fun now as it did back in 2005
Shadow of the Colossus PS4 :D
Flavio_PS4 Uncharted LMFAO, an old walking simulator that cost 60 bucks!!!!😂😂😂
Red Bull2800 and the Xbox x has what? Yeah thats what i thought nothing how sad is it that Sony brings out a remake of an old game and xbox can't make a new one lol.😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
Red Bull2800 Yeah ha ha, what a scrub! I'm going to go play a real game like uhhh
Uhh
Hmmm
Red Bull2800 it's like 25 dollars
Red Bull2800 "A Walking Simulator" that is considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest game of all time and being released again will sell more than most current Xbox titles. Shall I go on?
IGN it's remake not remaster.
mel b if it was a remastered it would only be graphics, but this game is running a new engine, new asset, improve character model, improve everything, making it a remake.
Lightning Destroyer2 its the same thing ffs, if not what do you mean by graphics? Not high poly assets? The game will look better if they just adjust the lighting? Lol
In basic terms:
*Remake* - something that is completely rebuilt from the ground up,
*Remaster* - something that is touched up and restored to LOOK better, hope that helps.
Mario G Since when do remakes need a completely different structure? It's called a remake by the devs because 1: They have already remastered the game 2: This is such a bigger improvement over the PS3 remaster that they didn't think it would do the game any justice to just call it a 'remaster'.
Mario G Thats called a Reboot sir
The beauty of this game is absolutely jaw dropping.
One of the most influential and greatest games of all time. Will definitely buy this and relive the memories.
I've played some of this on PS Now. Can't wait to play the remastered. Also, I can't wait to play Dark Souls remastered. Two masterpiece games remastered.
I've been playing it for the march release ps plus bit I just don't see the appeal. The controls for me are all barld and it's hard to control the horse. I don't think it really deserves a 9.7 but that's just my opinion
THIS, "God of war" and "The last of us"
just started playing it. must be the game with the worst controls/camera I experienced in the last 10 years. I would be really disappointed if I didnt get it for free on PS+
Your profile picture made me think there was a fly on my screen.
This game feels like playing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. It gives you a great feeling of adventure.
Holy hell, thats beautiful. Not one of those remakes with PS2 graphics.
do you think final fantasy 7 remake will have these graphics
In a word, yes. Square Enix have always had a reputation for pushing hardware to new limits, and the graphics already look stellar from what they’ve shown.
The question is less whether or not the graphics will be this good, more whether it will come out during the PS4’s lifetime as planned, or end up on PS5. (After all, FFXIII started out as a PS2 game before moving to PS3, and FFXV started out as a PS3 game before moving to PS4.)
I don't really need games to look any better than this.. The thing is I said that about Kingdom Hearts 2 12 years ago and Mario Kart 8 3 years ago.
Java Monkey they’ve already said that FF7 remake will be coming first to PS4... so that could possibly mean a PS5 release as well like a launch title. Or maybe it’ll be times exclusive and brought to the other consoles down the line.
Johnny U. Not quite.
Jonathan Parnes I imagine it will come to ps4 and then perhaps they will port it to the pc and xbox. I hope it gets a pc port. Then it will truly look amazing.
It's a remake, not a remaster.
No, it's not, it's the exact same game with improved graphics.
Ibrahim Chacín Figueroa go Google the definition of a remaster vs a remake. It's the same game but nothing was used from the old assets. It's a remake.
This is called a TRUE/LOYAL remake.
Not a remaster.
Free on PS PLUS on March !
Art. More games like this are needed.
I've waited 13 years to play this. Now the graphics are at the level I wanted it to be, back in 2005. Got the Ps4 pro. The 4k TV. Game installed. And now I'm trembling in anticipation. Here we go.
Goodbye, Xbox One
It's a must own. Regardless if your a Xbox fanboy or just a regular gamer.
I’ve never seen an ad that takes 15 secs to skip
King Bluez - The Coffee Shop Companion - Vol 1 and 2
That soundtrack, damn!
I would like to know what the first song is called
@@debraball7505 the song that plays during most of the fights is called The Opened Way. There's extended versions on TH-cam as well as covers. Have fun!
PS PLUS March, who else?
Do you really care? Or you just want the likes?
Play ICO as well (available on PS now)
Who is here after ps plus March announcement
Get the hell outta here begging for likes, its PATHETIC!
The horse running in green grass really look so beautiful man.beautiful.😱
Watching playthroughs, I saw one colossus that had a bugged AI loop that prevented it from responding to the player properly, and an odd choice of physics response during the final climactic scene that changed how it feels in an important way (for the worse, but only if you try to game it hard, and I know some will). Still, an amazing remaster. Beautifully done.
"Sister/queen/lover" wtf?
SWEET HOME ALABAMA
