TIPS
-eating fruit hidden in trees increases your health and eating silver lizard tails increases your stamina
-you don't need to continually mash the triangle button to make Agro go faster, just holding it will make her reach and maintain max speed.
-Agro has AI of her own, when traversing crevices and twisty paths you only need to hold triangle and she will navigate those obstacles on her own. You don't need to wrestle with the reins.

Great OP. Looks classy! Can't wait to get my hands on the game. I haven't played SOTC since the PS2 release.

I thought performance mode was also 1440p? I got confused by the DigitalFoundry article since they didn't mention any resolution metric for Performance mode.

I'm drooling at those gifs. Anyway, I won't get my copy until the next week, so, I will hate envy everyone who has a copy this week. Specially those playing this for the first time :'(

Cant wait.

You missed a trick with that OT title though. Monster, Hunter, World was genius.

Otherwise, great work on that OT

Great job - the OT has the perfect amount of class.

I'm looking forward to experiencing the game again.

Comparison posting repost, from the review thread:

Resolution mode vs Performance mode.

"5 Screenshots and you definitely see the huge difference in clarity. They did an amazing job in performance mode, I can't have enough respect for this, unbelievable, but this game is the ultimate proof that nothing can top super sampling, not even the best anti aliasing and IQ on 1080p.

5 Mouse over screenshot comparisons, right here.

Here are two of that 5 screens in resolution mode for you.

The second one is an absolute eye opener in comparison, in my opinion."

It's the weirdest thing. The original game is one of my favorites of all time, and I had already sold my PS3 when the HD port released, and yet I'm not all that excited about this remake. I think the reason is somewhere between "I played the original too much" and "I have too many games I'm trying to play on my PS4 at the moment".

I'll probably get this around the time it goes on sale, unless I'm caught up in something else.

Beautiful OP. Can't wait!

Edit:
Looked at the trophy list. A couple of those are ridiculous.

Trophies are harder, just look at new HTA times:
Valus - 2:45 (-5)
Quadratus - 4:30 (0)
Gaius - 6:30 (+1:30)
Phaedra - 6:15 (+1:15)
Avion - 4:15 (-1:15)
Barba - 6:00 (-30)
Hydrus - 7:30 (-30)
Kuromori - 7:00 (-30)
Basaran - 5:45 (+15)
Dirge - 4:30 (-30)
Celosia - 4:15 (-1:15)
Pelagia - 9:30 (-30)
Phalanx - 10:15 (-2:45)
Cenobia - 8:15 (-45)
Argus - 10:00 (-1:30)
Gaius got the biggest bump, but Argus, the second worst HTA, got -1,30 off. Weird decisions but Wander should be easier to control than in PS3 remaster.

Bought it digitally and (accidentally) bought two copies of the special edition, so I think I'm set. 9pm tomorrow can't come soon enough.

Beautiful OT

I originally was going to buy it on day 1, but I decided to hold off buying until I get a 4K TV and a PS4 pro(hopefully by 2019), since this a game I want to experience again in it best way possible. One of the best game I have ever played.

And here two more screenshots.
Hope you don't mind my repost in the official OT, thought some people only look in this thread and I wanted to have my best shots and gifs in here.

does anyone know if Bluepoint removed any of the crazy glitches that allowed super fast speed runs?

like for one of the colossus, I don't remember which number, but the one that swings a giant sword down at you at the start of combat... in the original version, you could hop on the tip of the sword, then get a huge launching boost effect when it raised the sword back up and you might land right on top of its head lol

That wasn't a glitch, it's game's weird physics. You HAD to make that jump if you wanted to complete Hard Time Attack so I think it should be possible in the remake as well because they didn't touch the physics.

Not on PS2, that jump was never necessary. I don't know about on PS3, never bothered doing the time attacks in that f'd up version.

Forgot about PS2, but PS3 HTA is the hardest thing I have ever completed in a video game.
