Remakes are stupid.

>Fucking up the art style
>Performance mode "targets 60FPS"

How is the art style fucked up? Calm the fuck down and enjoy something nobody will judge you user. You're reaching so hard and for what? Do you want to be miserable so badly? It's not hip or cool. Jesus nobody normal looks at this and immediately goes EW 60FPS? THE ART IS ALL BAD FOR REASONS I CANT EXPLAIN. Like holy fuck you're depressing.

You're stupid.

He explains this really well, the lighting was an absolute focus of the original but has been replaced with the changes for the remake and it looks worse artistically
Also, "targeting 60FPS" isn't bad because 60FPS, it's because they are remaking the game and it still can't be a stable 60 so what's the point?

>Nothing new added
I'll just play the PS3 version instead

This is all of Sup Forums. The people here will never be happy unless
1) all games look and play as the same games they played as a kid
or
2) a game were to come out with their individual specifications right down to the letter

Most of Sup Forums are just autists who grew up with vidya but are now growing out of it and are looking to blame literally anything and everything but themselves for their dissatisfaction in their old hobby. Everyone loves the games they played as kids and every kid loves the games they are playing now. Nothing has changed

Yes, remaking not remastering. New engine, graphics more up todays standarts et and thats also more demanding to system. You basically will get 4k 30fps or lower res 60. Thats fine

Thanks for beta testing, ps2 cucks.

Lol he looks like Knack I'm not buying this garbo for a third time

>it's newer so it's automatically better
>I don't give a crap about studying what previous games did right or attempting to build upon it
It's your fault games are devolving

Looks good enough. If I had a ps4 I'd be looking forward to it.

that actually looks really fucking impressive

Where did I say or even imply any of that? All I'm saying is that if you are one of those fags that only enjoy games from your childhood then you are a nostalgiafag who needs to find a new hobby. If everything is shit to you then maybe you are the problem. There are people here who claim that not one good game has come out in years. Why the fuck are they still following the industry if it is so shit? They aren't making a difference complaining here. They grew up, now they just need to move on.

It actually looks pretty good. The lightning looks good most of the time, not as blindingly bright in direct sunlight as Last guardian, thankfully. I braced myself for worse so I'm fine.

Some parts look great, others do not. It's definitely missing some of the soul of the original.

that "soul" that is missing is you being a kid. that "soul" you feel when playing the original is nostalgia
Anything with updated graphics is going to feel inferior even though it isn't because you played the shitty looking one as a kid and it is imprinted in your head

Nah it really looks like a soulless cashgrab designed to get some money out of Ueda's IPs after TLG had lackluster sales, it's obvious they whipped this shit up right after their first sales report came out.

>remaking for the second time
>still not including the cut contents
nah, bluepoint can go suck a dick

#
You implied it by writing off the neat art and tech choices the original SOTC made as simply nostalgia
Also, if you're going to criticize people wanting
>1) all games look and play as the same games they played as a kid
then why are you defending a rehash?

>"retrocompatibility is stupid"
>"here, have this ps2 game remaku! it's got dericious 60fps!"
Sony can be very funny.

not him but nah you're just nostalgic
looks fine to everyone else, read thread

>Occidentalized
Just say westernized what the fuck.

Astroturfing should be bannable.

FPBP

Its not only nostalgia fagging as the new remake is not needed. PS3 release already fixed everything that ps2 wasn't able to process. And that thing is stable framrate.

Sure kiddies who only care about graphics might play it now, but as they are not changing the game play im pretty sure those people will just get furstrated and stop playing. And if they are not adding cut colossi or other actual new stuff its nt enough for me to buy this game third time.

>Also whats with the rock textures on colossis looking like they have been washed, aren't they ancient beast who lie dowrman until you disturb their rest. So who was washing them now?

Nah. I like the updated assets and general improved graphics but the color grading they've gone for isn't as tasteful in some scenes from the trailer. Overall, I definitely like it and this is what I expect from remakes. All that said, damned shame they're not including any of the cut content.

The art and tech choices of the past are good for it's time and the art and tech choices of the rehash are good for this time.
I am not defending it as a rehash. I'm just saying that there is nothing wrong with it other than it being a rehash. Having better graphics doesn't make it worse than the original. It doesn't make it souless or whatever. Everything is the same other than updated visuals and music. How does this void it of soul and make it just fucking awful? It doesn't. You just think this because you don't have the wonder of a child and the game isn't the same as when you were a child so you can't invoke nostalgia from it

I think it looks good, but it's missing that murky blur the first one had that I feel added a lot of atmosphere to the game.

Don't buy it a third time then. But there is no reason to complain. If anything, making it look more modern (without changing the gameplay mind you) will just attract more people to play it and possibly have a new SOTC type game come out for those who like the idea of climbing the bosses (like Prey for the Gods)
I honestly don't see any issue with it as long as they aren't watering it down and casualizing it for new people.

The silhouetted fog and color grading are effects that could be recreated with current methods and would still look good if not better. These effects are absent from the remake which drastically changes the visual identity of the game, which is disappointing

Looks EXACTLY the same.

I'll still play it though.

it's Shadow of the Colossus on ps4.

Something about older "open worldish" type games just do it right with atmosphere. Nier, SOTC, the first Dark Souls, Jak II, Sly 2 and im sure there are others. Idk what they do right but I know it isn't nostalgia because Sly 3 didn't have it as much (despite being a good game) and I played Nier for the first time ever last year

>got it on PS2 because it was new
>got it on PS3 because 3D
>expect me to buy a third time with no real incentive other than le upgraded graffix I never needed
So why should I do that?

Oh thy naïveté child, thou hope for industry thath does not yearn for nothin more than thine sheckles in thine pockets.

Looks like the versio of BOTW I wanted.

Yeah I do miss the fog. I always thought it was just the shitty graphics of the ps2 version

The "it only looks soulless because you were a kid" argument is so fucking retarded. The Last Guardian had it in spades and it came out two years ago.

GTA3 drips with atmosphere.

But it's not lost on contemporary titles. Red Dead Redemption comes to mind. The Witcher 3, etc.

>Fucking up original art style
>Destroying a lot of new efects, new for it´s days
>Not even including griffin, monkey, devil or the other discarded colossus.
>but muh 4k maymay would buy guy$!!!111
Ueda is a Hack

Let's hope they add some actual enemies to fight and sidequests this time. The first was so sparse and rushed.

The last guardian looks exactly like this fucking remake of SOTC except one has fog.

I'll buy it and judge it. 40 bucks.

I don't like how Wander is no longer pale like a ghost, but they gave him an incredible jaw. So it balances out.

...

There's no point in making it the same aesthetically.

You've got no idea what you're talking about, you value graphical quality far too much. A game with a good art style doen't need to be "remastered." Shadow of the Colossus looked perfect when it was released but you're too blinded by subsequent releases to appreciate it.

They really are fucking it up in every way but the fur effects. Such a shame really.

4theplayers, amirite?
He looks like he has downs'.

>needing to link someone else's opinion because you're literally to much of a baboon to speak for yourself

Sup Forums in a nutshell

walking simulator in an empty open world shitty game

Wew. Make his neck any thicker and he'd be BEEF MCLARGEHUGE

>I-IT'S NOT WASHED OUT AND BLURRY ENOUGH!!!1
Until you get an official statement from Ueda about the art direction being worse in the Remake, not a single point made on the topic is objective. That's a fact, so don't waste anyone's time with 'i-it's shit!'.

They look nothing alike though, for starters the player character doesn't look like Messi with down's syndrome.

Ueda has nothing to do with the remake.

>Also, "targeting 60FPS" isn't bad because 60FPS, it's because they are remaking the game and it still can't be a stable 60 so what's the point?
>The second remake of a 12 year old PS2 still cannot run at a stable 60FPS
The absolute fucking state of Sony. I was totally fine with the PS3 version being 30FPS locked because it was stable unlike the constant sub 20FPS of the PS2 but your fucking telling me the PS4 won't be able to run a stable 60 on a fucking 12 year old game?

Don't even tell me its going to be another base PS4 gets completely shafted on performance episode either, I've already bought this game fucking twice my PS4 is only used on exclusives as is so I'm not buying a pro.

He needs a thick neck to fight collossi. Will probably punch them at some point too.

Ueda is gone from the scene. And former team ico is making a VR game for Oculus.

Yeah thanks for making my original copy of the game aka the intended way to play the game look like a unplayable mess. Fucking consoles I swear

He even finished TLG as a freelance designer while under contractual obligation to deliver a product, he really has nothing to do with Sony and I doubt he wants to

He doesn't have to be - it doesn't change the fact that he's the only authority on the topic that can make an objective comment, like when Masahiro Ito made negative comments about the Silent Hill HD collection and how the art direction was butchered. I don't care about what some random soyboy on twitter thinks - if you want me to believe the art direction in the remake is worse than the original, then get me a comment from Ueda saying that it's worse. Otherwise, it's just subjective opinion, which is worthless.

But they have to spend all that processing power on the numerous AI and abundant physics interactions
Oh wait

Ueda's opinion is also subjective, even more so since he has emotional stakes in the process of making the game.

Looks fine. I notice they removed Wander's weight in his movement, but apparently people whined and moaned over the weighty movement in TLG, so I get it.
Wander also looks pretty fucking derpy.

I hope they don't mess with the controls too much. the overall weightiness was so nice.

Are you implying your opinion is objective? You're one of these cunts who claims the 3DS remakes of OoT and Majora's Mask are better because they're crisper and prettier aren't you? If you had played these games when they were first released you would understand.

>he really has nothing to do with Sony and I doubt he wants to
You might pathetically wish that but you're wrong lol

"some people prefer 30fps"
what?
This is a joke, right?

What is Ueda doing right now, Sony marketer?

Yeah. And he was like "I would have made some changes" when news of SOTC remake surfaced. But I quote "its too late". Sucks to be him for choosing to leave now right?
A long time ago he wanted to leave because of the mobile boom. Think Sony Japan will produce another Ueda? Maybe he'll come back. Sony Japan Studios likes to co-operate in making games with outside studios.

a lot of my console friends have straight up told me 60 fps fucks with them and makes everything feel weird.

Oh wow, an actual game for ps4. Finally.

Jesus Christ, so you can't form your own opinion unless the creator of a game tells you what to think?

He has his own studio. But that's irrelevant. If you think Ueda wants nothing to do with the company that created and sustained his entire professional career, then you're very clearly brain damaged.

No, the remake of OOT was garbage for the same reason, it didn't have that fog, or the mystique. everything was too clear.

might be a dumb question but will this game ever be on PC? i dont own a console and dont plan to.

>created and sustained
>forced to restart dev cycles of above three years because of hardware changes
>forced to quit yet deliver a product
>all while they keep firing members of your team
>ask the six remaining members to end a AAA game or they'll get sued
>HE LOVES SONY GUIZE I SWEAR XDD
Sony really pays for decent marketing. If only they put that money on games.

>Implying the creator doesn't have the final say on whether or not a remake of his own creation appropriately captures the art direction he envisioned
Stop posting. If you're asking for my own opinion, then I highly impressed by the remake. But you don't care about my opinion, so why ask for it?

...

like I could understand say, choosing a stable 30fps over an unstable 60, or even choosing better graphics and resolution for a lower framerate, but preferring a lower framerate outright with NO benefits?

Owning a console isn't like adopting a kid, user. jesus christ.

Like some user said, the game looks good in some parts and looks bad in others, the animations looks pretty shitty
Jesus

have fun not playing it

Well, I can understand that. Playing 30fps games and then jumping into Yakuza 0 did make it look pretty weird and not so smooth for first 2 hours or so. I just get used to higher framerate again a little time though.

He's still involved. Just full of regrets that none of his wishes will come true now that he has no authority over the game as he has his own studio.

Read 'TLG: An Extraordinary Story' to find out why your post is hot garbage.

wonder why more games never copied this, and cut the fat and made a much more concise lean experience.

>READ A PR TEXT TO REALIZE HOW IT *REALLY* HAPPENED GOYIM
Hahahahahaha his dissatisfaction with Sony speaks more than any fluff piece.

????

am i supposed to feel bad that im not willing to spend $300+ on something i'm not going to use very often? the only games that i genuinely want to play on ps4 are bloodborne and this when it comes out.

sperglord

Why did they change the player model? It looks so weird now.

Yeah the making of book is PR text and none of the interviews are. :^)

Yeah interviews where you clearly state how dissatisfied you were with the mismanagement of your previous employer are not PR.

>people saying they fucked up the style

WAAAAAAAAH I WANTED SILKY SMOOTH 15FPS, 3 COLOURS IN THE PALETTE AND FOG/BLUR EVERYWHERE TO HIDE JAGGIES REEEEEEEEEEEE

Is Shadow of the Colossus for PS4, dare I say it, the George Foreman Grill of video games?

Okay even if I pretend they didn't fuck up the art style, why does the player model look so retarded? They tried to westernize his look and now it looks like he has dementia.

>there's some people who prefer to play games at 30fps so if you only give them 60fps then they will complain

Who the fuck prefers 30fps?

People who think 60fps looks too weightless. What that really means though is that the fluidity just more clearly reveals the weaknesses in the animation.
If devs were just good at animation it wouldn't be a problem

Guess what the remake got rid of.
