This has the best HUD customization of any game I've played. I really wish everyone could take the time to do that kind of thing. Choose what you see and when, while looking at the HUD as it will appear.

Played some more last evening.

I'm purposely taking my sweet time and savoring this game. The fights are much easier this time around because I'm remembering (most of) the weaknesses and strategies but my goodness, what a glorious remake.

Im on the latest beta and when I startup this game, it informs me that supersampling has been enabled

I take it this is the same as cinematic mode?

You should click on my video and see the difference compared to those other videos. :P
I couldn't find a video that did it exactly like your video, but this does basically the same thing, the hitbox in your video does look a little weird but that's just shadow of the colossus for you; the devs said that the game code is the same as ps2 so things like these shouldn't have changed.

Started on Normal difficulty out of habit, but since the option's available from the start this time, maybe I should've gone straight for Hard. I do want to earn both sets of Time Attack unlocks.

It is weird and it bums me out that you can no longer get the lizard detector/fruit map on both difficulties. That was super handy for maxing out stats and climbing to the garden.

This game already natively supersamples in cinematic mode. I think the notification pops up if you enable the system wide supersampling. Unless you don't have it enabled, so it could mean it's new to this firmware?

What are the base ps4 impressions? Is the game worth playing at 30fps? Does 60 make a huge difference? I hate the idea of buying something and knowing I'm missing out on the definitive version, I may just wait til I get a Pro someday.
Base version here.

30 is absolutely Fine. Looks gorgeous. Its not a deal breaker with 30.

60 though will be 60. Difference will be there obviously.

Buy it i say. You can always play on pro later as disc will be same.

I think im being an idiot. Just been tole about the first shrine just outside the temple. How do you pray in front of it? I have full health already if that makes a difference although I tried losing some and still cant do it.

Yeah, the forest areas are some of the most visually impressive in the game. The interesting part is that what's going on here isn't all that crazy in a post Uncharted/Horizon world. It's the art direction that really makes it shine.

I continue to be disappointed with HDR in games on my LG C6. I have to pick between everything being too dim or washed out. Messing with dynamic contrast and color kind of helps, but then I feel like I'm degrading the intended image. Sigh.

As for 60 vs 30 fps: I played the first few colossi in performance mode, then tried switching to cinematic. I couldn't stand it. I imagine it's fine if you never experience 60 but moving back to 30 felt awful. And I've played the PS2 version.

Oooooooo, I didn't know there was a mysterious new collectible. That in itself makes me want to pick up the game sooner than I might have otherwise, lol.

Im really not liking this. The weight is completely gone...I kinda want them to put a 20 FPS mode in to restore the heft.

You are playing it wrong. Explore the world. Roam bro. Colossi to Colossi is not a good approach.

I've played it a dozen times already! If I had the money to buy it I would have done what you said, but all I could afford is to rent it and take a quick tour through the game's new visuals. Feel free to paypal me $40 :P

I'm honestly so glad Sony commissioned this remake, so happy to be playing through this for the first time.

Help!

How do you get the lizards? I just ran after one, got hear it then had no idea what to do...

You should be able to just bullseye them with the bow. Easiest way is to stand a bit back from the shrines and watch for it, bulleye it from a distance then come in to collect.

Remember there's one on the main shrine - the Temple :)

Ohhh the arrows are visible on the colossus.. I don't remember them on the ps4 version..

My theory is there will be a short, additional cutscene after the credits of the game when you collect all coins. Because I think
the Nomad Colossus is simply Wander when he turns into Dormin in the end of the game, the enlightment could be like an additional scene settled in the future where the horn buy become a "problem" so much they decide to sacrifice them to the Witch of Ico.


I got that bug too, posted the link this morning :D

That is a pretty sound theory!

Just floored at how good this looks and performs. Bluepoint put themselves in the coversation with Naughty Dog/Guerrilla/Santa Monica IMO.

Nomad made a video that showed the alternate ending from Ueda, that he never made himself. Maybe this will unlock that alternate ending?

Or... You will unlock a shop where you can use your coins to buy lootboxes.

But seriously, 4 things need be fixed.

1. Wonderer's face/emotions
2. Debris in last level
3. Game over screens
4. 17th colossus's negative image effect

Please BP
