*remake

Yeah, I had forgotten a few of the colossi since PS2 (I was a kid), but even so this playthrough took about 6 hours.

It's short, but still a masterpiece. XD I'm absolutely in love with it.

The controls are better in the PS4 version, but not perfect. The camera auto-adjust is still a pain in the arse, aiming while riding is still a pain in the arse, Wander still jumps in the direction he is facing, but also has a delayed turn so on narrow ledges you can't turn properly to jump and he will just try and tumble off the edge (which is a real pain for the Malus fight still).

It's still SoC, but most importantly is how stunning it looks. It's the most effort I've seen go into a rework - especially the forested areas.

Still, the added grass and nicer textures don't look out of place. Did they tighten up the controls at all? That's one thing I noticed when I started playing, they're just sluggish enough to be annoying at very inopportune times...

I was also surprised at how short the whole thing is, too. I'm already up to the 12 or 13th Colossi after about 5 hours. That said, slowly remembering the quirks of each has probably halved the time it took me the first time through all those years ago on PS2 xD

*red and blues

It doesn't actually look like this.

The game has filters and a photo mode - filters are great, I actually have a video of me battling one of the Colossi using the night filter (which as you can imagine, just makes it look like it's night) and it's royally spooky - but I used the photo mode for this and fiddled with RGB. I slightly raised the vibrancy and added some red and purples to make it look sorta like early sunset.

Wow. I literally started playing the PS3 version about a week ago. This looks amazing.
