Sony Compares Every Version Of Shadow Of The Colossus, Details PS4 Special Edition
While we already know quite about Bluepoint's remake of Shadow of the Colossus, Sony's latest trailer should offers a great history lesson.
The PSX trailer for the game compares the three versions of Team Ico's 2005 classic; the original PlayStation 2 game, the 2011 remaster for PlayStation 3, and the PlayStation 4 remake running a PS4 Pro. The difference should be clear to anyone, but it goes to show how much work (and motion blur) has gone into the latest version of the game.
PlayStation Pro players will also be able to tweak the graphics of the remake a bit, choosing between Cinematic (which "emphasizes image quality," at 30 frames per second) and Performance (which caps the game at 60fps at the cost some image quality).
Sony has also detailed the contents of the special edition, which will contain a different boxart and Steelbook case, post cards, ingame extras such as an Ancient Bow, Cloak of Fate, and a skin for Wander's horse Agro, two PS4 themes, An avatar set, a physical map of the game's world, and some stickers. The special edition will retail for $50 (as opposed to the regular $40).
