This E3 seems to be full of “out of left-field” announcements and perhaps this is the strangest considering the storied history of the game in question. Sony announced that Shadow of the Colossus will be coming to PS4 in a remastered format.
Originally releasing on PlayStation 2 to huge critical praise, it was released as part of a collection with ICO on the PlayStation 3 that upscaled the original visuals. Somehow though, this didn’t seem like enough as the game looks to have a graphical overhaul in the style of Team ICO’s latest game: The Last Guardian.
While we only got a brief snippet during the conference, it sure looked like a great visual upgrade worthy of a port. But the question still lies – would you dare play it again if you know what happens?

The visual upgrade is huge. Can’t wait to play it again.

That is huge!! Very clever way to capitalise on all the work they did for TLG, let’s hope an Ico remaster is in the works too.
I only ever fought the first Colossus so I’ve got no idea what happens, I guess I’ll have to buy it and find out :)

Same here, that looks like a very worthy remake. It’d be nice to think they reworked the camera too though, that was my biggest bugbear with the original.

This is how I like the old games. If they do a respectful, ‘shot for shot’ remake of the original with upgraded graphics, it’s much more desirable than backwards compatibility IMO.
I wish they would do this with all of their old games.

Fair play Sony, looks ace.

It was an unforgettable experience first time around but no, I won’t be playing it again.
