What would you rather see? Knack 2?

I didn't realise I was limited to a choice between SotC Remake and Knack 2.

The original is a classic. I see no need for it to be remade. It's like when Robocop or Total Recall got remakes, and you think to yourself... why?

If it's just a remaster of the game for the PS4 though, then that's cool.

 

[wild wild rice]

Holy shit that would be ridiculous.

 

[Shifty1897]

SOTC remastered on DECIMA engine.

My mouth just dropped.

 

[ArchAngel]

A SotC port ... "available on PSN right now" ... damn, I would buy it and play through it again all night!

 

[DryvBy]

Well the Wipeout collection is number 1 in the UK so maybe they're into something.

It's kind of my point. If people don't want to replay old games, they wouldn't bother with remasters.

 

[jayu26]

If they do a SotC remaster after their "such a small number of people use BC" excuse, I'll laugh. A lot.

It's kind of my point. If people don't want to replay old games, they wouldn't bother with remasters.

Stop right there bucko! The context of Jim's quote was specifically about graphics of older GT games. The purpose of remastering is to update the graphics to a more modern standard. Nothing he said would actually contradict what a remastered or remake SotC is suppose to be about.

Although personally I would rather have SotC 2.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Far more people care about Destiny so that certainly won't be happening.

I know. 😔

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

You people are beyond ridiculous. SOTC Remake???

You'll at best get a second remaster, and more likely get a port/collection.

 

[KingBroly]

SoTC remake announcement incoming I'm guessing.

Some of RedHill's posts about it happening:

Seems really dumb to remake it. Just port the PS3 version over, bump it up to 60fps and make him less fidgety while holding on.

 

[Simon-chan]

 

[GarciaHotspur]

Guys Ueda doesn't work for Sony anymore

SOTC 2 is impossible

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Not going to get my hopes up. I'll assume it's just a PS4 port.

 

[usp84]

OMG Shadow of the Collosus with today's graphics!!!Mind blown if true nothing else will come close to the awesomeness of this!!!

 

[ScottFarRoad]

PSVR Experience is my guess.

 

[JStein0222]

I know Sony has a quiz game they are working on that hasn't been formally announced yet. Had a different name before though.

sony pls

Yes who would want a remake when we can have a PS3 port :/

 

[Caronte]

If you want multiplayer in SotC you don't want SotC...

 

[Inuhanyou]

better not touch the 30fps in the emulation settings(although i doubt they can). The cinematography depends on the game being 30fps along with the motion blur..it helps the feeling of the colossus being these big lumbering slow beats.

 

[jayu26]

Expect four player co-op was the original pitch of the game.

My guess is Bluepoint is doing it and I would trust them to make the right decision.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

When RedHill brought that rumour I thought it was really random and dumb.

Still feel that way.

 

[ArchAngel]

If you want multiplayer in SotC you don't want SotC...

Well, IIRC that was the original idea for the game. Maybe there will be a new mode for that?

Bluepoint bets: SotC Remake or Demon's Souls?

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Yes who would want a remake when we can have a PS3 port :/

Because it would take up less resources and opens up possibilities for new amazing games to be made.

 

[HStallion]

Guys Ueda doesn't work for Sony anymore

SOTC 2 is impossible

Yeah and he still says he wants to continue with Sony and him and Shu are long time collaborators. Sony has even said they want to keep working with him and let's be honest, what other company would you expect to support a game like The Last Guardian as long as it did?

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Hype time.

 

[muteki]

Not terribly excited at the prospect of a SotC remaster. The PS3 one wasn't that long ago.

Maybe if they added in some of those cut Colossi that could be cool.

 

[BobTheFork]

Sony will do whatever costs Sony the least money.

Anyone knows how they can remake SOTC for less than a port, tell Sony NOW!!!!!!

 

[Caronte]

Expect four player co-op was the original pitch of the game.

But not the final game. It's very clearly designed​ so that the player feels alone in that world.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

A SotC port ... "available on PSN right now" ... damn, I would buy it and play through it again all night!

Yeah, I'd probably buy it again for the... fourth time, I think? Although it's my second favourite game ever, and I've only played it to completion once.

 

[Insane Metal]

YES PLEASE!!!

 

[big fake]

If you want multiplayer in SotC you don't want SotC...

dude!?! control AGRO in this new port of SotC!!! Also a horde mode with 100's of colossi!

Pre-Order now and get the Dormin mask that can be bough using in game currency!!!

 

[Dsyndrome]

I'd take a VR version of SotC.

 

[Boke1879]

Blue point DID say they were working on remaking a classic for current gen. The original game was supposed to have MP.

I don't see why people are down on a remake if it literally improves everything and potentially adds MP.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Anything SotC-related on my PS4 makes me happy.

 

[HStallion]

My guess is Bluepoint is doing it and I would trust them to make the right decision.

Well, IIRC that was the original idea for the game. Maybe there will be a new mode for that?

Yeah and the idea was dropped very early into development and the final game isn't designed around the idea at all.

 

[Lord Error]

Wow, that would be cool. If it really happens, I hope Ico is not left out either.

 

[jayu26]

But not the final game.

They can always revisit the idea. The tech is finally there to attempt something like this.

 

[ICO_SotC]

I was just thinking how this is a weird E3 for me becuase it's the first one in years where I haven't been anticipating Ueda related news.

*cautiously excited*

A remake including the 20-24 Colossi that game supposedly initially planned to have would be amazing.

 

[HStallion]

They can always revisit the idea. The tech is finally there to attempt something like this.

They would have to redesign the entire game for it to work. It would basically be a different game at that point.

 

[Majmun]

SOTC sits in my top 10 best games ever list

A remake would slay me

 

[eso76]

Ok so i heard this thing about "that's you" before but I can't remember where.
That was definitely leaked a few days ago.
Or was it announced rather than leaked ?

 

[Goldrusher]

Could this be like God of War?

So an actual sequel / new game, just not numbered?

Different protagonist, different colossi...

 

[Tagyhag]

Would totally play it again, hopefully they do more enhancements than just bringing the PS3 version at a higher resolution.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Wow, this would amazing! I love SoTC.

 

[Print_Dog]

Doubt it's a remake. Port of the PS3 version.

 

[jayu26]

They would have to redesign the entire game for it to work. It would basically be a different game at that point.

That is what I want, a new SotC game.

I also think that A shadow Remaster/Remake is more of a PSX announcement.

 

[Drillary Clinton]

OH MY GOD PLEASE BE TRUE ABOUT SOTC

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Doubt it's a remake. Port of the PS3 version.

Guy who talked about it yesterday said remake though.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

I'd take a VR version of SotC.

If anything this would be the most they'd be willing to do with SotC.

Wasn't PSVR (back when it was called Morpheus) doing presentations that talked about how VR would make experiences like SotC even more impactful?

Maybe they kept tinkering with that idea and want to release a VR "Episode" of SOTC for free on PSN Store.

 

[wmlk]

Shadow of the Colossus is still way ahead of every game out there right now. Legendary.

 

[Ridley327]

Different protagonist, different colossi...

It would be about the most random thing to try to franchise. It wouldn't even make sense, given that the colossi were specific to Dormin's form and that whole thing is resolved by the end of the game.
