The last decade or so has been graced with more and more complex virtual worlds for us to explore, littered with towers to climb, maps to expand, and side-quests to complete. If you have a capable display, you can also turn on HDR, which allows the new artwork to really shine.
While I normally enjoy a bump in rendering resolution, the jump to 60 frames per second is too hard to pass up, and is what I stuck with for a majority of my playthrough.
SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS PC REMASTER 1080P
For those playing on the Pro, you have the option to play at a slightly higher resolution of 1440p (still locked to 30 fps), or at 1080p at 60 fps. On a base PlayStation 4, the game runs at native 1080p, locked to a rock-solid 30 fps. Volumetric fog, light shafts, dynamic depth of field, a physically based renderer all of these new additions come together to deliver some of the best visuals on the system.Īll of these changes make for a solid experience, whether you’re still rocking original launch hardware or the mid-gen PlayStation 4 Pro. A volumetric lighting system has been implemented, along with a few other more modern rendering techniques. I will admit, this remake does look fairly different (the final image on screen looks less desaturated in comparison), but the artwork itself falls very much in-line with the game’s original vision.
To complement this, all of the game’s assets and artwork have been redrawn in high-definition (which was all done in-house by Bluepoint’s newly-hired art team). Unlike that release, which stands as a re-worked version of the original, this is a complete, ground-up remake, with ultra-high definition assets to boot. Developed by Bluepoint Games (who you might remember from their work on the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection), this marks the second time the team has worked on this game in particular, having released the ICO and Shadow Of The Colossus Collectionon the PlayStation 3. Contrary to what your local GameStop employee may have told you, this new version of Shadow of the Colossus is not a remaster or re-release it’s a full-blown remake.
SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS PC REMASTER TV
Unlike Monster Hunter World, Team ICO’s magnum opus is a shining example of minimalist design a stark contrast to the overly complex worlds which grace our TV screens in this day and age.īut before I get into the game’s masterful design, let us focus on something else that I mentioned earlier. Despite its greater emphasis on accessibility, Monster Hunter World (which, for the record, I’m quickly becoming a fan of) is complex to say the least, with a dozen different gameplay systems to learn and master, and enough customization and weapon options to keep you busy for dozens of hours. On the other side of the spectrum lies Shadow of the Colossus, or rather, its PlayStation 4 remake. By sheer coincidence, I’ve spent the last week playing two games that, on paper, couldn’t be any more different from each other.
