Check back often for brand new episodes as we update this article with the latest videos. It's a great way to revisit the classics while reflecting on what made each game so special in its day. Every weekend - or as frequently as we can schedule it - DF Retro brings us a new story based on a significant release in gaming history, backed by exemplary, clean capture taken using original console hardware. If the bugs can be fixed, this could be the definitive way to experience Shadow of the Colossus when it releases February 6th, 2018.Welcome to the world of Digital Foundry Retro.
Whether it was galloping through a forest on my horse or running alongside a cliff, I enjoyed just panning the camera around me and admiring the beautiful world that made me feel so small. Shadow of the Colossus’ visuals also gave me the desire to actually explore the world instead of just going to fight each colossus. Fighting against a colossus is still the same colossal challenge as ever (forgive the pun) and the graphical upgrades help it to feel more like you’re actually playing a complex set-piece in a big budget film. Thankfully, these bugs and issues never resulted in death or hindering my experience too much. Sometimes when it would slam down its sword-like arm, it wouldn’t affect Wander at all despite him being directly beneath it, while other times he appeared too far away from it to be within its range, but would up hurt regardless. While fighting the third one in particular, there were a lot of strange bugs that occurred.
In this preview, I had the opportunity to fight the first, third, and 13th colossi. Another time, I jumped across a gap and clearly missed, but as he fell the game glitched and he suddenly appeared holding onto the edge of the platform. There were several times while climbing that Wander wouldn’t respond to my input and climb up. It doesn’t help that the platforming is as buggy as ever. This certainly simplifies those aspects, but climbing and holding onto a colossus with R2 can still be a frustrating experience. There have been key changes to the control scheme like switching the jump button to X and mapping the dodge roll to circle, instead of having to hold R1 and press triangle. On the other hand, 60 fps does almost nothing to help alleviate the slow and sometimes unresponsive gameplay. The positive is that no matter which you choose, there is very little deviation in graphical quality the game still looks great either way. This is both good and bad for Shadow of the Colossus. While the developer previewing the game with me made it seem like this was a major feature, I found that there was little noticeable differences between the two settings in terms of visuals. Conversely, performance mode sacrifices the resolution in favor of 60 fps.

Also: Detroit: Become Human Handles Heavy Themes like Abuse with Care Ĭinematic mode renders Shadow of the Colossus in true 4K resolution on PS4 Pro at the cost of 30 frames-per-second. In addition, you can switch between the cinematic and performance modes, which are by far the biggest changes. Digging into the menus, I found that you can apply filters to Shadow of the Colossus like black-and-white or vintage to make it fit your preference - a colossi Instagram, if you will. The breadth of display options are neat and welcome.
