Shadow of the Colossus Remake PGW Trailer
- Thread starter Jawbreaker
- Start date
To be clear, my critique was solely regarding the art direction of the remake but I never felt that ALL of SOTC's value was restricted to art direction, though I do think its accurate to say Fumito Ueda makes games that are visual/audio experiences more than ones where the focus is on gameplay (like Zelda). Much of the game's narrative is told via gameplay/player's action, but it is also the animation, art direction (visual style, approach to world building) and music that gives it the emotional significance unique to those games.

mmmh. if my memory serves me right I don't think that was possible, where did you see that?
Game of every generation here. With the news of there being visual filters I cannot be more hyped. Just exploring that world feels so ethereal. A part of me feels like they might of hidden the 17th Colossus in there along with the alternate ending Ueda wanted. People have been looking for it for a decade .___.
dammit marty. how is having to hold a button to grip a complaint?
my biggest issue with the last guardian was how you didnt have to hold a button to grip, and it just kinda did it for you. that shit was SO fucking frustrating
having to manually hang on is infinitely better
There were/are a lot of complaints about the controls being janky in the original.
You could fix the inverted camera controls in the original, so the same is probably true of the remake.

I feel like putting Agro's galloping on triangle is a mistake, X is the more comfortable option and you end up holding down that one button much more than jumping around. Frankly the original control scheme was fine.
Agree. I think they will offer the original controls as an option though. (Good to see you here btw!)
There is one small issue in the OG game that is fixed in the remake that is worth all the million of dollars and years of development for me: there is actually a sword in the sheath now when wander puts it away!!!!

I know I'm insane but it drove me crazy in the original game OK?!?!

Just colossi. There is fauna, and iyou can interact with that.
This looks amazing. I never got very far in the original so this will be a relatively fresh experience for me.
just colossi, it's a boss rush game essentially.
You start by navigating the huge labyrinthine world to find the colossus, then you kill it and repeat the process for your next target until you've beat em all. It may sound simplistic and repetitive but it really isn't, every colossus is literally an enormous puzzle that needs to be solved for you to prevail.

from what I read the modernized control scheme was not available for the demo but it will be ready for release

Alright, that's what I gathered after listening to the video. I'm quite curious to see how they go about "modernizing" it.
That's what I wander, you never used triangle to gain speed with Agro, yet the IGN video says that as if it was the classic control scheme all along.
Same. Nice avatar. :)

I'll never unsee this now.
There's also wildlife like lizards, birds and fish. Not enemies per say
I never played this first time around. This gameplay trailer just sold me on it. Absolutely fantastic music and sound effects aswell.
Here's the offscreen gameplay footage that might reassure some fans that more of the OG game's atmosphere will be preserved than what the two PGW trailers indicate:
It also has the best view I've seen of Wander's face since the announcement trailer (but still too low res to really see what he looks like).
His animations still bug me though. :p

Are you saying the two small guys arent regular enemies? Could have fooled me.
Man eurogamers impressions really sealed this up for me. Magical. I can't believe it's actually discounted.
Yo!
Yo!

this looks really freaking solid every time new footage is released, the animation of wander climbing agro from the back has to be new, i don't have access to the game right now to test it but i could swear i've never seen it before, also I think the animation looks janky because he tried to climb him on uneven ground.
The thing I'm most interested in though is how they are going to handle facial animation and cutscenes in general, team ico managed to put lots of emotion in wander's face in the final cutscene of the game even with limited technology, let's hope that bluepoint's version won't be too jarring when put against the high quality graphics.

Truly the most important thing ever. Backplot: The remake was only made just to fix that one mistake.There is one small issue in the OG game that is fixed in the remake that is worth all the million of dollars and years of development for me: there is actually a sword in the sheath now when wander puts it away!!!!

Of all these games boasting new horse technology, the horse in the footage shown looks better than anything I've seen. Something about it just looks cool.
I am kinda disappointed they didn't include new collosi. Even ones just Bluepoint made up.
Idk like, even with yet another fresh coat of paint, I've played this already, sure it looks prettier now but I'm having trouble justifying that being worth $40.

You me are in the same boat. I think we are very lucky, this game just looks beautiful.
I don't think you are part of that target audience. It's gonna be a game that aims for people who never played either the original PS2 release, the PS3 remaster or any of the Fumito Ueda/Team Ico games.
yep, im actually pretty down on wander's look. he just doesnt look good (while also not looking like wander)
Given how this remake spans two generations, the leap doesn't appear all that impressive. Also, the character design looks superior in the original game.Nice.
Mono looks pretty similar. Dunno bout Wander.
If anyone ever asked me if games were art then this is the game I'd show them. A true masterpiece of the highest order and easily one of my favourite games of all time. I can't wait for the remake.
