Shadow of the Colossus (PS4) new trailer from TGS
- Thread starter crimilde
- Start date
Alright, fair fair. I won't say anything else, and I'm excited for you to check it out. I just don't normally see people curious about why you're killing stuff in video games, because you're killing stuff in so many video games.
But yeah you're definitely in for a treat!

lol I hear it's magical I can't wait and I get to enjoy it with sweet new paint
Read above.
Ima weirdo I need context lol
Especially because they don't really seem to be attacking him
I believe the trailers have been saying "captured on PS4 Pro", so there is some kind of PS4 Pro support.

The story is (spoilering in case people want to go in completely fresh)
You bring a deceased girl to a forbidden area. There, with the special sword you have, a voice tells you that if you kill these 16 beasts, she may be revived
This is all in the opening cutscene so not too heavy of a spoiler. Shadow of the Colossus also has my favorite ending of the trilogy by far.
TLG sure got closer than I expected it to though. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. That game was good as hell
Best run cycle ever
BluePoint can't even
I think it may have come across wrong.
(I remember posting this in another thread after e3)
What's on the canvas is the original game. The "actual scenery" is the PS4 game. I much rather this idea than someone trying to redo and replace the actual painting.
And yes, the grip stuff did suck, but that's not what I meant when referring to the overall feeling/atmosphere of the original.
I know what you're saying, and it's I guess kinda neat to think about this game that way.
But since the original creator is not involved, I cannot share your viewpoint. It's just a surface-level comparison. I don't care about about the Zelda 3DS remakes one way or another. I definitely don't like how the intro looks like now though. The original might look kinda ugly technically but I'm too used to the original color palette. The remakes look too colorful.

Eh personally I have TLG's ending the weakest in the trilogy (though very close to ICO's). I need to replay it though. I was heavily rushed trying to finish it. Beat it in two sittings with 5 hours of sleep inbetween and finished it 1 hour before my school final. It was the first time I spent $60 on a digital game because it launched on PSN at 9:00pm instead of midnight.

Truth be told it's actually really coincidental that you brought up the Ocarina of Time remake. Because the old N64 walk cycle just looked awful:

and they fixed the hell out of it in Ocarina 3D
That should alway be like the first thing on the agenda from the animation team.

Ok, let's not get unreasonable, that's some Gears of War/Haze level of bloom abuse right there lol. I'll take the remake as is instead of that, no offense
.
Haha, none taken. But the original hast the most of it in any game ever.
The rocks are radiating light.

I'm gonna be plainly honest...
There are areas I drive by with grassy mounds that I can't help but imagine coming to life, shaking the earth and slowly standing on wobbly feet.
We also have Sleeping Giant state park nearby where legend has it that an angry Native American entity that could divert rivers with a stomp was put to sleep to prevent him from destroying the land.
So... yeah. I really want a more realistic take to see these things "in real life" instead of hazy, sun-soaked water colors... again.
I'm not saying I dislike that artstyle. I'll reiterate again that I already have that and it doesn't need improving. This new take is cool and pretty inspiring as well.

Call me crazy but I like the original run animation better. Probably nostalgia.

Definitely nostalgia. Link looks like he's skating on ice instead of taking steps.

Ugh. Just another reason to get a PS4
A lot of that isn't bloom though. Bloom (as it is often known - the fuzzy lighting effect in Gears and lots of early last gen AAA titles) is more often the fx other developers try to use to emulate the lighting in that game.
