never mind the image composition here. The color is 100% fucked up. Gaius doesn't look like he should, but I'm not certain if that's from the capture or something else, but either way.

Wasn`t the HD version a thing some years ago?

>It looks pretty. It looks like a tech demo

It looks like your average 0$ budget Unity indieshit made with stolen assets from the engine's marketplace.

>it's missing the point completely.

Welcome to the Triple A Industry™. Video games never ever.

>Ueda isn't involved in this at all, he left even before The Last Guardian was moved to a PS4 title.

I'm aware, but it doesn't mean he/Gen Design wasn't at least supervising.

>You ready for that FPS?

framerate or first person shooter? I imagine they're targeting 30 which is disappointing but whatever.

>tfw I never really had the occasion to try SotC until PS2 emulation and now I don't really want to for fear of not being as impressed as other anons because giant enemies have been done to death since then and peaceful, atmospheric areas have earned a bad stigma over current decade

Basically I know everyone gushed over it and that there must be good reason for that, but I fear my cynicism might ruin it for me.

I've played it like 3 times in 2013-2017 anon, it still holds up and I fucking love EDF.

No giant enemy has been done like this, I prefer the EDF sandboxy way but SoTC really polishes it while giving the Colossus and you enough freedom outside of railroaded crap.

I remember faggot journos saying how Chronos in the GoW3 was the biggest enemy you ever battled and the fucking thing is just scripted railroaded garbage just like everything in the mediocrity that is that series.

Go play it anon, if you have a decent machine crank it to 60FPS..

Its top tier shit, probably my favorite PS2 after Spiderman 2.

the edf way of doing it is sort of like giving you really intimidating but dumb enemies that behave like game enemies. sotc handcrafted the giants to behave extremely intelligently, uniquely, and to require the player to learn about their behaviors. Some of them even exhibit emotional qualities which is really a testament to the design of them. I won't remember the 3rd giant ant I've killed in EDF, but I'll remember each of the colossi for the rest of my life.

iirc it's 40.

I also love the skill related easter eggs that give you skins and shit like Lizard tails and fruit that can help you out but unless you were curious wouldn't know about it.

Christ,I only realized I could save at designated checkpoints 7 years after the fact, I finished like 10 playtroughts on Normal and Hard plus Time Trial replays and I never realized I could save, and it never bothered me one bit thanks to the physics, the world and scenery at work.

Its really something, too bad Sony has gone the way of the normalfag just like most companies since 2007.

The EDF way is great as well, its pure madness and sandboxy goodness.

Its like playing a Kaiju film and I love it.

You can't drop a shitton of Arty on top of NotGodzilla and watch it fall up and come back again on SoTC.

They're completely different games with completely different concepts and designs, they just have a great premise that has always given me an itch regarding video games, Gigantic enemies and how they should be done.

Both scratch that itch and more and its amazing

Now all I want is an underwater spookfest with Giant Enemies as well, Subnautica was supposed to do that, and then they just fucked up and made the biggest creature in the game a fucking passive piece of shit.

>>13707342

> Subnautica was supposed to do that

I think it looked too goofy from day 1. One of the spooky monsters has a giant ass-cheek chin… it's just silly looking. One of the concept sotc creatures looks like a more horrifying deep-sea creature than anything in subnautica.

I like what EDF does too, and it's probably one of the best examples of a game like it, but SotC is that sort of hyper-detailed approach applied to giant enemies and the only other times its ever seen is bloated with shitty QTEs or other gay baggage.

>You will never play this

>You will never get all of the other 24 Colossus

I don't see much difference to what i remember other than those textures, but considering the ps2 had terrible lightning i don't know what the original intent of the developer was, if it was to make a "realistic look" for a ps2 game they sure had one going, and thus i think the intention is preserved i'd say it's okay
