Jonathan Chase demon soul dont need a remake just a remaster like dark soul 1 I would prefere Bluepoint working on a ps2 or ps1 games Metal gear solid 1 Could be a great choice for a remake
Meh. MGS has already had a remake on Gamecube, Kojima is no longer part of Konami and Bluepoint seems to work only for Sony although it is an independent studio. Imo it's unrealistic to think about it. A remake of Demon's Souls or any license owned by Sony makes more sense.
John is clearly the best at digital foundry. The amount of effort he puts into all of his videos does not go unnoticed and I always look forward to them. Great job as always John!!!
Nope. He whines way too much about framerate and blows its importance completely out of proportion. Also, he makes the mistake in these reviews of spending more time highlights the games issues than he does its positives. No matter how infrequent the issues are, he'll still spend the same amount of time talking about the negatives as a game with lots of issues, or a moderate amount.
"Everybody in the German Army has heard of Hugo Stiglitz". Seriously though, the guys at DF are good and I like their videos but the British guys mention 4K too much. It gets annoying very quickly.
I thought the same, but if you have 4k oled game looks insane, those texture details in cinematic mode not to be missed for slight drop in fps!! same goes for Last Guardian
John, thank you. This is the type of passion the gaming industry as a whole desperately needs. The pure love for games seems to be disappearing in place of greed. It warms my heart to know there are a few out there who still have the spark left. Never let the true passion die. Cheers ❤️
You can always tell within the first 5 seconds when its John conducting an analysis. The presentation is a cut above the rest. Good job DF. You guys all rock.
It's a REMAKE. Not a remaster. Learn the difference. Did you play CoD 4 remastered? Because that could explain why you don't know the difference. CoD 4 was falsely titled. It was technically a remake.
@@supergamer1870 it is not a remaster. remastering is polishing an already existing game up like shadow of the colossus for the ps3. A remake is remaking an already existing game up from scratch. Like rayman revolution, tomb raider anniversary, shadow of the colossus 2018. However, not all remakes have to be the same like their original. Tomb Raider Anniversary for instance uses remade levels but somehow different, but the story is the same and it's levels are close to its original design. Rayman Revolution uses a complete different game engine than its original and REMASTERING some levels up like replacing 2d sprites with 3d moddels and added some polygons into the rayman moddel. Also they added and removed some content. Like the hall of doors (removed) and the teensie circle (added) Shadow of the Colossus had been remade like an exact copy of its original. But with new technology and a complete new game engine (which was explained in the video) However, they kept the main game exact the same. Music included (which is REMASTERED)
Yup, the thrill of looking for the next colossi and getting chills when I felt I am getting near. The beauty of the first playthrough was you had no idea what you will run into and how to defeat it. Sometimes I just stood there watching the colossus, wandering how the fuck do they expect me to kill that
Gamzat Abakarov I know but Sony is the only company they work real close with. Insomniac Games is like this too, and people always confuse them as a Sony Studio
It's interesting. Consoles will always be underpowered.but when it comes to effort and talent that comes into these passion projects , it almost doesn't matter. May it be Mario Kart 8, Horizon Zero dawn, or halo 5. These games look amazing and hardware was just the platform it was made on.
RANDY TYSON as a pc gamer , you dont want a console to be underpowerd, it will affect the game vision, then it will affect pc as well.... Do you remember what bungie told to the gamer community , if they make destiny 2 60fps on console they need to cut the open world game designed into half, this will affect pc port,. :( remember now a days almost all AAA developer are using base console to make games,. That is why majority of the pc games are port from ps4 and xbox one in mind..
MadFinnTech true but I don't think any console would be able to do that. Maybe one x, but I don't think it would be at native 4k. Also theres a trend with games that run in 60 fps on pro and such, all of them are not demanding on the CPU, the CPU is always the bottleneck in most games if they try to go above 30
It gives me great pride having experienced this masterpiece when it originally released. Seeing the comparison still fills me with awe, the memories are so real it transcended the medium we simply call video games.
This was the first game that I bought when I got my PS5, and what a way to start my PlayStation journey. Yes, it’s not a next-gen exclusive, but it genuinely looks like one and introduced me to what makes Sony’s games so unique and special.
As a long time fan of the game, this looks incredible. I am aware some fans might not like the game's new look and can respect that, but I am very excited to play this.
Agreed. If any one game needs to be remade, this is the one! And remasters can comfortably co-exist alongside all the new games. As there are more new games coming out for PS4/Pro and PSVR this year, than for Xbox one and Switch combined. So no need for anyone at all to decry this as causing lack of new games. Just dont buy remakes/remasters, if that isn’t your thing. Simples!
What if Bluepoint remasters Demon's Souls next ? One can dream right ? And I think they are very much capable of doing it after this excellent remaster. Edit: Well Bluepoint is actually making a Demon's Souls Remake. Dreams do come true :)
Bluepoint is an awesome company. They did a great job with the MGS HD Collection for Xbox 360, PS3 and PS Vita. The vita version does have some occasional dips in fps, but i still love playing it. I would love to see bluepoint come back to release a MGS HD Collection for the Nintendo Switch. The work they did on the Nathan Drake Collection for PS4 is also outstanding. They could have left all games as is and released the games in higher resolution, but actually polishing up the first game so that it looks allot more on par with the 2nd and 3rd game visually just amazes me of how dedicated they are to their craft. I own SOTC/ICO collection remastered on PS3, but i still haven't gotten around to playing those games. Now with this remake i will likely play this game and last guardian at one point cause this just looks amazing.
As a Xbox gamer sike!!! I play on all consoles but mostly Xbox. This game is a god damn. MASTERPIECE. Any body that talks trash about this has no taste, and they're not a gamer. May not be your type of game, but that does not warrant you right to talk about it especially if you've never played. Truly beautiful remarkable game. A pure classic.
John, amazing work as always. I never played the original but just watching the intro of the video with your retelling of playing the game gave me chills, and I can't wait to pick up the game on release day.
Good to finally see a confirmation of stable 30fps on PS4. Would've loved this brought up sooner, but there's still plenty of time before the release. Thanks!
they ruined the forgotten land atmosphere though. the lack of fog and the lushness of the grass makes it seem like a happy place which it isn't meant to be. If you prefer the melancholic vibe which fits the narrative i'd get the ps3 version (if you can handle frustrating physics , otherwise a ps2 :P)
I would normally agree, but I specifically locked Hellblade to 30fps so I could max out the settings and run it Super-sampled @1620p. The gameplay isn't very fast-paced and I feel the graphics of that game are more important than most games.
Well this game is the signal for me folks! Time for me to jump from my PS4 day one model to the PRO!! I hope this game opens the way to more 1080p/Solid 60fps games. Great video John!
Legend Of Gamer Yes. From PS2 era 🤣 and not native 4K/60fps. 4ThePlajers - pay again for the same game... and again... and again... and again... and again... Sony fanboys are really weird 😅
rhtr "pay again for the same game... and again... and again... and again... and again...", that sounds like nintendo and switch ports games (Hyrule warrios for example, or DK, or Bayonetta, or Pokken, Haha ok, i´ll stop)
well i honestly got it 2 years ago hehe, but yea im a souls-borne fan too, ive been enjoying several exclusives, my next buy besides this is horizon zero down
Bought the complete edition a while ago and the game is serious fun, love the fights against those mechs :) Im a Soulsborne fan too, Demons and DS1 are still my most beloved games of all time :-) Are you planning on buying the DS1 remaster?
yes, 2 times, 1 for switch 1 for pc, im mostly a pc gamer, so i just get exclusives for my consoles but since switch is portable is kinda beating my laptop lol
Bluepoint Games went above & beyond the call of duty (no pun intended) to bring us this PS4 remake. Everything looks new yet still very familiar to anyone who's spent countless hours in the Forbidden Lands. While we didn't get an expansion of the map & some of the cut colossi put back in the game, there's still some nice extras. With the 20th anniversary just a year away, perhaps we'll still get that Definitive Edition. Now that SONY has Bluepoint Games, hopefully we'll also get a full remake of "ICO". Nice review/discussion.
Such a classic. Anybody with a few hours of time on their hands should check this game out. I highly recommend playing it alone and without internet opinions/help. It's such an amazing atmosphere experience that is quite rewarding till the end.
Couldn't play this back in the day as I didn't have access to a ps2. Just picked it up and am blown away by its size and scope... almost feels more epic and ambitions than many modern games. I've never interacted with objects/ creatures of this scale in any game that were this dynamic and well designed. And the gameplay? The way the character feels as he scrambles across obstacles lends a sense of struggle that is wholly unique. Now I get why this thing is so highly praised.
Damn! I didn’t feel the need to upgrade to PS4 pro for Horizon zero dawn or Uncharted, but I feel it now for this game, 60 fps is a big deal. On the other hand a new PS is probably coming in less than 2 years and I don’t want to waist money on a soon to be outdated console...
Louis Seize Louis Seize yeah, I like playstation but I know Sony, they shifted to a 3 year console life cycle, mark my words. I will get used to 30fps if I stop playing other games on pc until I beat this one, but there is no doubt in my mind that this game could have run at least at 45fps on base Ps4 with a slightly reduced AA and resolution. Still a masterpiece though.
February almost here and the arrival of SOTC the Remake. One of the all time greats in PlayStation history. Having a similar experience to that in this intro. Playing games on a PS2 with a CRT monitor. Now it’s a game changer, playing the original game changer with a 1080p screen in 60fps on a PS4pro. This is going to be awesome!
I finally made it to the point in time where I can see this game at its fullest potential realise out after 13 years. It's like staring at a movie and a moving picture.
To others they see a game in front of them but to me I saw a glimpse of the future through it more than a decade ago. It was already beautiful then but it has finally become what it has wanted to be years ago.
Digital Foundry has a hard on for motion blur for some peculiar reason. For a UA-cam program that focuses on video game image quality, it seems ironic.
I'm an all time XBox owner, but this remake is beautiful and pure hold I have to say. Keep up the good exclusive content Sony. Maybe Microsoft will soon realize that they underestimate the value of the well made AAA titles ... we should already have at least a new Fable and a Black & White ... yet they waste both of these titles. Shame
Thankfully Playground Games (Forza Horizon devs) are apparently working on a new Fable game, but absolutely agreed. Xbox needs some good exclusives again for some healthy competition
Laszlo I swear to God, you're the only sane Xbox player in this comment section next to me. Every Xbox gamer has done nothing but shit on this undeniably beautiful game.
I agree man. I wish Microsoft would focus more on exclusives and give me a reason to buy one of their consoles but at the moment, I only have 3 reasons. 1- Ultra HD bluray player 2- Forza Horizon 2 and most importantly 3- Halo Masterchief collection and Halo 5. Everything else they make I can play on PC. I really feel like they're shooting themselves in the foot a bit by doing that. At this point, I just want them to put Halo on PC instead of giving me a reason to buy an Xbox One.
I find it hard to understand why all the Xbox fanboys are crying in the comments. You play the console of your choice right, play the games you want to play, right? So let others enjoy theirs. If all you can do is cry, get angry and name call over a game, I suggest you get some professional help, seriously. Thanks, and enjoy.
yes, i would agree, forcing someone to have a 400$ investment for one game is extremely difficult to justify, theres really no reason this game could not be on other platforms other than its just not, the developers lose out on a good deal of sales from other playforms as well, but i do understand that without exclusives thered really be no reason to choose one over the other unless one had a cheaper online subsctiption or the other was significantly more powerful, theyd have to compete directly and they dont really want to do that.
It feels like the final statement - like a remastered pressing of Dark Side of the Moon, a Blu-Ray of Seven Samurai - this feels like the chapter on SotC is closed - the statement has been made, the art created, finished, nothing left to say - everything is contained in this game now. A monumental classic set in stone - definitive, complete, finished: perfect.
to answer the question, no, that still belongs to REmake. being that it literally changed so many things for the better, where as this is a nice graphical update to a great game
Digital Foundry since the beginning has all been about technical analysis but to be honest here you guys even does game analysis and review better then most video game sites out there. Jesus you guys are pro and understand video games in both story telling, atmosphere and shows appreciation to art more then any others out there, not just technical.
If this were a game made in 2018; most of the Colossi would be locked behind DLC, there would be lootbox consumables, a battle royale multiplayer component just because, and a "games as a service" model for monetization. I am so glad this game is from back in the days of a "complete" sale.
Don't care for this game in the gameplay department, but the original had that bloom look to everything giving it a heavenly glow and atmosphere, and it's lost in the PS4 version.

I would trust Blue Point to do a Demon's Souls remake for PS4.
Jonathan Chase demon soul dont need a remake just a remaster like dark soul 1
I would prefere Bluepoint working on a ps2 or ps1 games
Metal gear solid 1 Could be a great choice for a remake

There is a reason he does these overviews
Hugo Stiglitz Aww, poor baby. Sounds like some of your favorite games had unfavorable performance. Must be an Xbox owner , huh? :(
"Everybody in the German Army has heard of Hugo Stiglitz".
Seriously though, the guys at DF are good and I like their videos but the British guys mention 4K too much. It gets annoying very quickly.
The soundtrack of this game is a masterpiece, omg...
This game is a master piece, is magic...
$7 on PSN right now... 60FPS at 4K on PS5. Amazing game
Man, it really looks unbelievable at times, everything is perfect, plus 60fps, oh and that music... This will be such a pleasure to play.
This game was well ahead of it's time when first released, it's heartening to see so much care and attention put into this remake.
manhuntttttttt
imagine if bluepoint remade Manhunt for PS5
omg dat 60fps tho.
This is all I ever wanted with my Pro.
1080p 60fps for all my games.
I did not find the part where he's talking about resolution.
Not all games get 60fps though.. only a few..
@@Sejuani89 it is understandable though with how old the hardware is in the fist place

This remaster looks absolutely stunning, Bluepoint has done a fantastic job once again.
It's a REMAKE. Not a remaster. Learn the difference.
Did you play CoD 4 remastered? Because that could explain why you don't know the difference. CoD 4 was falsely titled. It was technically a remake.
Yes I played CoD 4 remastered too. I mixed the terminology in this case.

The greatest game ever made. I'll never forget my first playthrough back in 2005.
Hi Superlosia! Loved your Bloodborne videos.
Thank you :)
Yup, the thrill of looking for the next colossi and getting chills when I felt I am getting near. The beauty of the first playthrough was you had no idea what you will run into and how to defeat it. Sometimes I just stood there watching the colossus, wandering how the fuck do they expect me to kill that
yep, best game ever, I'll remember it until the day I die.
Bluepoint is the hero we deserve
Love the 60 fps option.
Hairoo love the 30fps option
Seth Lev No! Just regular eyes with 24 fps.
Sunny Frisch ah fair enough
Original game was 20 fps in Colossus battles :p it was never a problem for me
Yellow Flash ignorance is bliss.
Sony should buy Bluepoint Already.
Di Almighty Spartan God Companies like Bluepoint should be independent.
Gamzat Abakarov I know but Sony is the only company they work real close with. Insomniac Games is like this too, and people always confuse them as a Sony Studio
Di Almighty Spartan God microsoft should buy Sony already
Lol they could buy SONY but wouldnt get the Playstation asset of it.
they arnt making their first game yet.
I'm not sure I could handle that level of guilt all over again.
It's interesting. Consoles will always be underpowered.but when it comes to effort and talent that comes into these passion projects , it almost doesn't matter.
May it be Mario Kart 8, Horizon Zero dawn, or halo 5. These games look amazing and hardware was just the platform it was made on.

Thx for using the 60 FPS mode, looks so good to watch, and most people don't have a 4K screen anyway
Well, 4K 60 fps would ideal, would it?
MadFinnTech true but I don't think any console would be able to do that. Maybe one x, but I don't think it would be at native 4k. Also theres a trend with games that run in 60 fps on pro and such, all of them are not demanding on the CPU, the CPU is always the bottleneck in most games if they try to go above 30
Love the 60 fps mode. Wish all games had it
4K 60fps+ is the way to play great on consoles
Christer Sjöberg Cinematic mode for me. 60fps adds nothing from my own experience. Don't get the hype.
L M For most people, it's a lot smoother and less jittery than 30fps.
FantasyNero keep dreaming, consoles can’t do 4k.
Frisson Except they can, just not on all games.
now if we can only get a proper remaster of Silent Hill
i would love to see that
Dye Yung I'd like an ICO remake, never got to play it first time round.
Yeah but that would involve money going to Konami. Fuck Konami.
Frellyouall True but I like silent hill a lot so I probably would buy it used then lol
Dye Yung Remake. There corrected it for you.

goofed86 you are in for a treat
Same and I just got a pro not to long ago so I'm really excited for this release.
In talking about the new graphical upgrades, how could he not talk about that fur? Huge improvement on what was already some great fur.
This is some of the best fur I have seen. It's incredible.
The way it swishes around now, when the Colossus shakes its head... impressive!
Even Fox McCloud would be jealous.
This man is the most passionate gamer I've ever seen. His vids are also the most in depth from any gaming youtuber i've ever seen.
As a long time fan of the game, this looks incredible. I am aware some fans might not like the game's new look and can respect that, but I am very excited to play this.
Now this is a remake
Game Head We don't want more bloody remakes on ps4 I'd rather have new games instead.
That's idiotic to say because PS4 has an infinity of new games and only three remakes at the moment. Remakes like this are amazing.
Agreed. If any one game needs to be remade, this is the one! And remasters can comfortably co-exist alongside all the new games. As there are more new games coming out for PS4/Pro and PSVR this year, than for Xbox one and Switch combined. So no need for anyone at all to decry this as causing lack of new games.

Now this is Podracing
What if Bluepoint remasters Demon's Souls next ? One can dream right ? And I think they are very much capable of doing it after this excellent remaster.
Edit: Well Bluepoint is actually making a Demon's Souls Remake. Dreams do come true :)
Nahh, what they NEED to do is remake Silent Hill 2 since Konami totally fucked it up.
Rather have the resistance trilogy but demon's souls would be sick.
Deffo need a Demons Souls Remaster
That would be awesome. I hope Sony considers them for any potential remakes in the future. My remake wish to them is Legend of Dragoon.
This is a reMAKE, not a remaster.
Buying this on day one PURELY because of the visual options on PS4 Pro (namely a 60fps mode). EVERY game should have this option!
Bluepoint is an awesome company. They did a great job with the MGS HD Collection for Xbox 360, PS3 and PS Vita. The vita version does have some occasional dips in fps, but i still love playing it. I would love to see bluepoint come back to release a MGS HD Collection for the Nintendo Switch.

Very impressed by the 60fps on the pro. This definitely took some serious effort!

So much hate in these comments. Simply bizarre
Probably one of the best remakes in video game history. Bluepoint should be very proud of themselves.
Dang I wish I had a PS4 Pro. At 60fps this looks absolutely glorious. I hope I don’t notice the difference too much when playing on my base console.
Can't wait to play this.I have never played the original.
it s treat!

Looks beautiful running 60fps I choose framerate over resolution any day!

being a pc/nintendo nerd all my life, i finally got a ps4 just to enjoy this marvelo0us exclusives i cant wait to play this been waiting for too long
Good choice, pick up bloodborne and all the other goodies as well, still worth it ;-)
well i honestly got it 2 years ago hehe, but yea im a souls-borne fan too, ive been enjoying several exclusives, my next buy besides this is horizon zero down

Are you planning on buying the DS1 remaster?
yes, 2 times, 1 for switch 1 for pc, im mostly a pc gamer, so i just get exclusives for my consoles but since switch is portable is kinda beating my laptop lol
Hah! I will buy a switch when the remake comes out, maybe we can have some „jolly cooperation“ then :-) I have only the pro and a pc right now.

nh k
So true 😂
Bluepoint is likely to remaster it again for PS5.
Allan Sh and take 40$ dont forget that
Pointless. It'll probably have backwards compatibility with this version. Maybe even graphical enhancements too
It'd be great if they updated this game to run in 60fps cinematic on PS5
And also fix those textures bugs
I can't wait for the PS5 remaster of the PS4 remake
Jen Soon Ng 😂 They'll exclusively rerelease it in 2021.
Couldn't play this back in the day as I didn't have access to a ps2. Just picked it up and am blown away by its size and scope... almost feels more epic and ambitions than many modern games. I've never interacted with objects/ creatures of this scale in any game that were this dynamic and well designed. And the gameplay? The way the character feels as he scrambles across obstacles lends a sense of struggle that is wholly unique. Now I get why this thing is so highly praised.
I'm glad that I pre-ordered this game. I like supporting smaller developers that work with passion on their games.
They need to do a 4k60 patch for PS5!
Playstation is and will be the best place for gaming .
Yes
And PC too imo, I love both platforms.
Zero PS4 x PC.
would not say that just PS4 only really Martin VR
Damn! I didn’t feel the need to upgrade to PS4 pro for Horizon zero dawn or Uncharted, but I feel it now for this game, 60 fps is a big deal. On the other hand a new PS is probably coming in less than 2 years and I don’t want to waist money on a soon to be outdated console...
Exactly, so just suck it up and play it on the OG PS4 like me ;) I think they only allowed 60fps on the pro for mostly marketing reasons anyway.
Louis Seize Louis Seize yeah, I like playstation but I know Sony, they shifted to a 3 year console life cycle, mark my words. I will get used to 30fps if I stop playing other games on pc until I beat this one, but there is no doubt in my mind that this game could have run at least at 45fps on base Ps4 with a slightly reduced AA and resolution. Still a masterpiece though.
I play this game every year i got to say even in ps2 it still holds up for me
Great work as always, John. Thank you.
Holy fuck I’ve been a gamer for over 30years, and I agree this is the best remake of a game ever thus far, incredible.

Remake*
I stand corrected(edited)
February almost here and the arrival of SOTC the Remake. One of the all time greats in PlayStation history. Having a similar experience to that in this intro. Playing games on a PS2 with a CRT monitor. Now it’s a game changer, playing the original game changer with a 1080p screen in 60fps on a PS4pro. This is going to be awesome!
Looks like I’ll be playing through this for a fourth time!
Only 4? Pathetic.
i remember playing this at a game shop near my home back when i didn't have a console...memories
Always wanted to play SOTC, 2018 is gonna be the year!
I've never played this game, but it looks amazing glad I have a pro. Funny how so many people are hating on this beautiful game.
just your typical 2017/18 gamer.
knicks27 only nintendo fanboys are hating
Same here. Never played it before and the remake looks amazing.
knicks27 buy it and play it, one of the best games ever made period.
the salt comes out whenever it’s a PS4 exclusive game
I hope the music stays untouched
I finally made it to the point in time where I can see this game at its fullest potential realise out after 13 years. It's like staring at a movie and a moving picture.
It was at its fullest potential on PS3. Also emulator looks better. We didn't need excessive amounts of detail like the stupid stitching of his shirt.
To others they see a game in front of them but to me I saw a glimpse of the future through it more than a decade ago. It was already beautiful then but it has finally become what it has wanted to be years ago.
I completely disagree but I guess i'll have to get used to people thinking that.
One of the greatest game of all time
"Excellent" and "Motion Blur" are two things that don't compute together in my brain lol.
Shadowjc32 Exactly!
Digital Foundry has a hard on for motion blur for some peculiar reason. For a UA-cam program that focuses on video game image quality, it seems ironic.
Motion Blur looks nice in some games.
I don’t like it either, but hey, you can turn it off. ;)
Shadowjc32 Depends on the game for me. In this game, I prefer it off.
I'm an all time XBox owner, but this remake is beautiful and pure hold I have to say. Keep up the good exclusive content Sony. Maybe Microsoft will soon realize that they underestimate the value of the well made AAA titles ... we should already have at least a new Fable and a Black & White ... yet they waste both of these titles. Shame
Laszlo MS should get bluepoint to remake Perfect Dark.......
I'd throw my money at them.
Thankfully Playground Games (Forza Horizon devs) are apparently working on a new Fable game, but absolutely agreed. Xbox needs some good exclusives again for some healthy competition
Laszlo I swear to God, you're the only sane Xbox player in this comment section next to me. Every Xbox gamer has done nothing but shit on this undeniably beautiful game.
I agree man. I wish Microsoft would focus more on exclusives and give me a reason to buy one of their consoles but at the moment, I only have 3 reasons.
1- Ultra HD bluray player
2- Forza Horizon 2
and most importantly
3- Halo Masterchief collection and Halo 5.
Everything else they make I can play on PC. I really feel like they're shooting themselves in the foot a bit by doing that. At this point, I just want them to put Halo on PC instead of giving me a reason to buy an Xbox One.
@Slappy hey I play Xbox 360 and Xbone games on PC. Does that make me an xbox player? I have no friends though. Add me - thnk4URself
Looks better than the last gaurdian
I find it hard to understand why all the Xbox fanboys are crying in the comments. You play the console of your choice right, play the games you want to play, right? So let others enjoy theirs. If all you can do is cry, get angry and name call over a game, I suggest you get some professional help, seriously.
Thanks, and enjoy.
its still extremly anti-consumer
yes how So? I mean the the consumer has a choice to purchase it or not.
This Place Is Death They are delusional, their platform has nothing of value.
TheGhostofSparta97 to you maybe Not, but to them it does, which is why I can't understand their actions. Nor the actions of the 'PC ELITISTS'
yes, i would agree, forcing someone to have a 400$ investment for one game is extremely difficult to justify, theres really no reason this game could not be on other platforms other than its just not, the developers lose out on a good deal of sales from other playforms as well, but i do understand that without exclusives thered really be no reason to choose one over the other unless one had a cheaper online subsctiption or the other was significantly more powerful, theyd have to compete directly and they dont really want to do that.
The only feature I miss is an option to switch back to the original look, similar to what Halo anniversary did
GOD.... THANK YOU FOR THAT INTRO! You outdid yourselves!
It feels like the final statement - like a remastered pressing of Dark Side of the Moon, a Blu-Ray of Seven Samurai - this feels like the chapter on SotC is closed - the statement has been made, the art created, finished, nothing left to say - everything is contained in this game now. A monumental classic set in stone - definitive, complete, finished: perfect.
this is how a remake is made!!
Who agrees Blue Point must remaster/remake Demon's Souls? I hope Sony listen my thoughts!
Tiago Benetti that would be a dream!
Is it too late to get them to help with the Final Fantasy VII remake?
David Tran I think Square Enix doesn't need help. I hope...
Preach it GRAMPS! XD We *NEED* Demon's souls remastered!
Tiago Benetti just play it on ps3, it looks nice ever now
Now we need an ICO remake.
Elvis S Hell no,no more bloody remasters and Remakes on the ps4 I'd rather have new games instead.
Why not both?
Yeah please please please.
Day one :)
I'm waiting God Of War, Detroit, Day's Gone, Death Stranding , Spiderman, Dreams and more more
Laurent Rochefeuille don't forget The last of 2 us aka the next best game ever beating out the last of us 1
Kris Juarez totaly ! The Last Of Us 2 😍but probably 2019 :3
Well seeming that the last comment in this thread was 5 weeks before tlou2 did u guys like it and was it better than tlou1
Hang on, you were in Tokyo when Shadow of the Colossus came out? Cool!
to answer the question, no, that still belongs to REmake. being that it literally changed so many things for the better, where as this is a nice graphical update to a great game
REmake is perfection!
Yeah, can't disagree with that. I still find myself liking the original's atmosphere more, but I would pick REmake over RE1 every time.
Here we have a real classic for the ages.
Glad a new generation of gamers will get to experience this, its a wonderful game.
Great time to be a gamer! Sony and Nintendo!!!
Digital Foundry since the beginning has all been about technical analysis but to be honest here you guys even does game analysis and review better then most video game sites out there. Jesus you guys are pro and understand video games in both story telling, atmosphere and shows appreciation to art more then any others out there, not just technical.
Great remake but the colors aren't quite right, can probably be fixed with filter
Can't wait to play this on XBoxOneX
but you have to wait, forever
smokebomb.exe Keep waiting, maybe some day you'll realize something.
the outro with the horse and that music, captured the essence of the game and captured me..
If this were a game made in 2018; most of the Colossi would be locked behind DLC, there would be lootbox consumables, a battle royale multiplayer component just because, and a "games as a service" model for monetization. I am so glad this game is from back in the days of a "complete" sale.
Walter Venerable, III that’s literally EA 🙃
a remake of metal gear solid 3 would be cool too
Caio Sestrem How about a remake of the original Metal Gear Solid one of the best game's ever made.
My favorite HDR. Not because of crazy colors or super bright scenes but because the black and white points can be so perfect.
Looks amazing! Looking forward to it!
Now give me the same treatment of ICO please :)
Hell yeah!
Don't care for this game in the gameplay department, but the original had that bloom look to everything giving it a heavenly glow and atmosphere, and it's lost in the PS4 version.
Can't wait to buy it for ps4.
