       | If they make a PS5 specific remaster, I'll buy that, too.

       | Haven't played this yet, but recently put 120 hours into (and
       | highly recommend) the Demon's Souls remake, also from Bluepoint.
       | 
       | They are an incredibly talented studio with a long history of
       | best-in-class remakes, recently acquired by Sony - which now has
       | them working on their first original IP.
       | 
       | Digital Foundry has some great interviews with Peter Dalton
       | (technical director) and his team, which are also well worth
       | checking out, as is the Demon's Souls remake documentary from
       | Noclip.

       | I wish they would make a game that was just the exploration part
       | of shadow of colossus but endless and procedural.
       | 
       | I mean something like minecraft or astroneer sort of fit the
       | build but the focus is building and the mood is too colorful.

       | I love this game, I still play it on the original hardware, a
       | still functioning Fat PS2. Beautiful game, and honestly deserves
       | a play from all, whether that be through an emulator or a remake.
       | 
       | The soundtrack is also one of the best pieces that I've gotten on
       | my iPod.
       | 
       | I can't stop peaking praise for Shadow of the Colossus.

           | performance issues. The graphics were definitely pushing the
           | console to its limits, and I can easily see it dropping
           | frames.

             | The frame rate was poor already but it dropped deeply
             | during some of the battle scenes. It's still my favorite
             | PlayStation 2 game.
