GSY Video PS4

Sony invited us to see some of the games of their upcoming line-up, and even play some of them like Shadow of the Colossus. We were able to fight 3 of the game's colossi (number 1, 3 and 13) but the video inside shows the French PR doing his homework to be ready for a presentation he's doing tomorrow. More on our impressions very soon.
Note: We filmed the game while HDR was activated on the TV and it gave our camera a hard time. Keep in mind that the game looks much better than what we're showing here.
Update: Second video added, with a superb passage in a forest. Sadly, it looks a lot less impressive than the real thing, our capture being the one to blame.

A pity that it's off-screen, but it can't be helped. Thanks for the video.

PS. Image 3 - news image - would make for a great SotC wallpaper if it was direct feed quality:

Was the option for the updated controls available? Controls is the trickiest part, i want some improvements but not too drastic

Wow, does it seriously not run at 60fps on a normal PS4?

well this is not just a remaster, it's a REMAKE, which means that everything is completely remade and reworked with current gen technology(high poly count, global illumination, dynamic fur, complex foliage, tessellation etc) so it's understandable that it won't run at a full 60fps on base ps4 if it's gonna look that good.

Have you seen how good this remake looks? Lets hope that it even runs at solid 60fps on pro.

And it doesn't run at 5fps sometimes like on the 10/10 PS2 game from 2006.
Of course, in 2016 when The Last Guardian dips to 23fps its a 6/10 game.

I want the controls exactly like they were in SOTC on PS2 and that is, perfect. And tank controls on still the greatest horse in videogames please.

Or, you know change them, and take away the grip meter and add full health recovery after 5 seconds while you are at it. Oh and change the music to more like something from a modern Sonic the Hedgehog game. /s
