It’s great that the game looks better than ever, but it’s really no more or less affecting now than when it was on the PlayStation 2 – it’s just modernised enough for the graphics not to be a distraction.
SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS PC VERSION PRO
Although a PS4 Pro has the option of either boosting the resolution to 4K or increasing the frame rate to 60fps at 1080p.īut it seems almost vulgar to dissect the game’s technical accomplishments when its real achievements are artistic. The visuals are equally without fault, with a standard PlayStation 4 running everything at a steady 30fps. The changes to the controls are just enough to avoid frustration and yet still retain the character of the original. Quite apart from the game’s own intrinsic qualities this is a superb remake, by a developer that clearly understands the original game perfectly. Xbox will be third party by the end of the next generation - Reader’s Feature In plot terms almost nothing else happens until the shockingly bittersweet ending, but in emotional terms the game is alive with intrigue from the first moment. To do so, he is tasked with destroying 16 colossi, using nothing but a magic sword, a bow, and his loyal horse Argo.

The first two games were remastered for the PlayStation 3 as a double pack in 2011 by Texan developer Bluepoint Games, whose own love for the game led them to push for this full-blown remake. Shadow Of The Colossus was first released on the PlayStation 2 in 2005, as a follow-up to the equally well-regarded Ico (last year’s The Last Guardian had a more mixed reception).
