Spoilers obviously for people who never played the game. If you didn't, I wouldn't recommend watching it (besides the first minute maybe) since it's a great moment of the game.



Once again Bluepoint did a fantastic job.
Can't wait to get back into this world. Didn't play the PS3 remaster so my last time was on PS2, quite a while back.

SERIOUSLY, Wander just riding Agro in the forest... looks fucking amazing. There's no chance I'm defending the original now (graphicswise).

It's ridiculous how much better it looks. The forest area is on par with Endor in Battlefront, lol.

Looks great and I like that the person playing knew what they were doing. Too bad they didn't show the REAL speedrun technique. :P



(Dang, posting a video from the PS2 version really shows off the difference two console generations make)

They changed the bow shooting sound effect, which is kinda weird when it seems like everything else uses the same sound effects.

edit: also noticed the lack of a HUD, I hope that's a feature we get to have. The original's HUD was pretty ugly.

I don't think we have anything to worry about in regards to this remake spoiling the experience of the original game.

They've done an incredible job with this based on what they've showed so far. The forest just looks... amazing. Can't wait to try it.

Animation, physics and gameplay looks sufficiently close to the original. Except for the cloth physics, sorry, that stuff just looks weird, compared to the original or not.

Have they made it easier to one-cycle 13 though? Probably for the better, since it did nothing but stretch the battle.

Breathtaking.

I mean, god damn.

I'm so glad this masterpiece is getting the AAA exposure it deserves.

Hopefully Sony doesn't skimp on marketing the living shit out of it because this game is a cornerstone of our medium; it's also exclusive to PlayStation and unmistakably Japanese.

(Hopefully this time the 3rd Colossus time trial isn't utter fucking bullshit like in the PS3 version)

If you didn't played the game, don't watch the video. Is one of my favorite gaming moments in my life and it would be a shame if you got spoiled.

I was not expecting a graphical overhaul, amazing. HDR implementation makes this even more appealing.

Never have I thought I'd ever triple dip for a single game. We got a release date?

We've got some off-screen gameplay that we filmed at Sony's press event today. Game was running in HDR (amazing HDR implementation btw) so our camera simply couldn't do its job correctly so expect some bad contrast and stuff. Still, the amount of details is staggering. Amazing work by Bluepoint for sure!

Nice, I was just wondering if it would support HDR properly now especially with the fake blown out contrasty stuff they did with the original.

Nice, thanks. Some of it looks so different I barely recognize it.

And most interesting, the new interface in action

Still a bit of an eyesore. I think I may prefer the pink color scheme. I guess that the circle doesn't grow anymore, rather it grows a weird appendage as it's upgraded.

supersampling for us 1080peasants I hope

That's my biggest worry right now. :( I want it to look as pretty as in all these videos and screens on my Pro too. Kinda feeling like a second-rate PS4 Pro owner here, lol. Unfortunately The Last Guardian had no downsampling... I hope that's no indication for what's going to happen here.

In case you guys missed the beautiful screenshots which were also published:

Oh sheeit BP has learned from their mistakes, Wander doesn't flail around anywhere near as much when he's on colossus #3 compared to their PS3 port. Now if only they would somehow patch that one...

Insane. In many ways, it is going to be like playing it for the first time again. This sets the bar on what a 'remake' should be. Nothing else comes close.

Just breathtaking. Looks different artistically, but they've retained enough for my liking. Thank you Bluepoint. You continue to dazzle us! Hopefully the team will be able to move on to produce the next great remaster+ project... Shenmue.

jett love your analysis and comparisons of the SoTC it's always interesting to see how well they are keeping to the source material yet still overhauling it for the remake and noting some changes etc

Bluepoint remaking a game piece of history they should do this the best it can be possible

Wow this looks amazing. I also hope the a better framerate means some more responsive controls.

And also, modern controles. Using triggers for the Bow. The original was geat, but it controlled like shit.

oh please yes, the endurance bar taking a whole corner as it grew was so tiresome when you wanted to enjoy the scenery and the staging
