Add to that this was not just any game but Shadow of the Colossus, a title with prestige that is often considered not just one of the best games on the PS2 but one of the best of all time. However, as undeniably talented at crafting remasters the good folks at Bluepoint Games are, to develop a game from the ground up as a remake is something they’ve never done before. I’m sure there are some out there that claim remastering a game is a simple process but one look at titles like the Silent Hill HD Collection and it becomes abundantly clear that there is no shortage of things that could go wrong, as you could ultimately end up with an effort that makes a mockery of the original games. Titles like Uncharted- the Nathan Drake Collection, God of War Collection, Metal Gear Solid Collection and Gravity Rush Remastered are all exceptionally crafted, improving on the originals in many different ways that make them the clear definitive ways to best enjoy those games to date.
However, it just happened that Shadow of the Colossus would land in my inbox, and despite my hesitation, I went in hoping for the best- hoping that my experience would lay to rest that initial question that plagued my mind.īluepoint Games are often referred to as the masters of the remaster. So, time passed without much anticipation for the remake as the eminent releases of Monster Hunter World and DragonBall FighterZ dominated my waking thoughts.
That was the thought that crossed my mind when I saw the announcement trailer for the Shadow of the Colossus remake for the PS4.Īfter all, it hadn’t been that long since I thoroughly enjoyed my second playthrough of the HD remaster on the PS3 and based on the trailer, it wasn’t clear that any new content of significance would be added. “This looks really nice but, does it need a remake?”
