Discover how to remake a classic like Shadow of the Colossus
PlayStation has released a very cool behind the scenes video, that shows how the team at Bluepoint in Texas have worked, to not only improve the upcoming remake of Shadow of the Colossus, but also retain what has made it a cult classic.
The
PlayStation Blog has more written details, if you prefer that, so be sure to head over and read it, one of the new additions to the game, that I know people will love is the new photo mode, something that PlayStation have been doing very well over the past few years.
“The changes that come across in the game are very thoughtful changes,” says Randall Lowe, producer on the new Shadow of the Colossus. “We worked hard to preserve the way the game felt, while making the control scheme more comparable to the Uncharteds and the Horizons of the world.”
The iconic visuals of the new Shadow of the Colossus have had a monstrous overhaul including the fur – something you’ll be staring at quite a bit as you struggle to scale each of the game’s massive creatures. “We spent a lot of time on the fur tech, trying to make the fur lay and clump just right, getting the shading right and making sure it moves right when you’re climbing through it,” says Lowe.
Shadow of the Colossus is out on February 7th for PlayStation 4 and supports PlayStation 4 Pro
