Rather than attempt to run the game under emulation, Sony Santa Monica's original C code was essentially ported over to create the new PS3 versions. We were also intrigued by the approach that the conversion team took. Sony Santa Monica's original PS2 art worked beautifully in high definition, and the improved performance level could only be a good thing. The PS3 remaster also offers trophies.Rumours are rapidly gathering pace suggesting that Sony is looking to follow-up the success of its HD "remastering" of the God of War titles with a similar gaming double pack featuring the classic ICO and Shadow of the Colossus.ĭigital Foundry took a good, long, hard look at the God of War Collection at the tail end of last year, comparing the original PlayStation 2 titles with the new 720p60 PS3 revisions, and came away supremely impressed. Technical aspectsĬompared to the original, Shadow of the Colossus HD on PS3 offers improved visuals - the main difference is the 1080p resolution moreover, the production uses stereoscopic 3D technology (however, this requires a special TV). In addition to the additional difficulty level (Hard), we can also play in Time Attack mode. Game modesĪfter completing the story, we unlock two more modes. The developers tried to make the horse behave like a real animal - our companion sometimes refuses to obey, and in a situation of direct danger, he is forced to flee. Some fights also require us to use Agro's help - the mount is a real support on the battlefield, because it can distract the opponent's attention (we can also use a bow) and allows him to get to hard to reach places. The latter happens especially when Wander climbs over their furry parts of the body (to avoid a painful fall, pay attention to the endurance indicator), trying to reach one of the weak points - we need to stab it with the sword several times to weaken the enemies. While some Colossuses walk majestically on the surface or fly calmly in the air and don't attack unprovoked, others behave more chaotic and aggressive. Individual enemies differ not only in appearance and size but also in their characteristics and weaknesses. The fights take place in real time and different sceneries (on land, in water, in the skies). After winning, Wander wakes up in the temple, where he accepts the next task of annihilating another opponent. We track down our targets using the light emitted from our sword (a narrow beam means that we are moving in the right direction). ![]() Another important element is the fights against the sixteen Colossuses. The game focuses on an exploration of a vast open world consisting of a desert, the ruins of ancient buildings, or even a forest and picturesque valley. The action in Shadow of the Colossus HD, released on PS3, is observed from the third-person perspective (TPP). Equipped only with a sword and a bow, the hero and his horse Argo set off on a dangerous journey. It turns out that his beloved can be resurrected - the protagonist must eliminate the sixteen titular Colossuses, creatures resembling gigantic, animated statues. To fulfill his goal, the hero crosses the borders of the Forbidden Lands separated from the rest of the world and enters into a pact with a dark force known as Dormin. The main character of Shadow of the Colossus is Wander, a young man trying to bring back to life a girl named Mono, who was sacrificed during a mysterious ritual. The game is available as a separate title (in digital distribution) and as part of the Team ICO Collection (also in a physical version). ![]() ![]() ![]() The production was released on PS3 and developed by Bluepoint Games studio. Shadow of the Colossus HD is a remastered version of the cult action game released on PlayStation 2 in 2005.
