I love how in the PS4 version, the fire/light thing on Malus's arm goes out as he dies, whereas in the PS3 version it stays lit! What a neat little detail!

I love the colossus sounds more in the PS2 version. They sounded like real animals. In the PS4 version, they have this weird growl. It's still an amazing remake.

2:20 Agro gtfo so fast he falls over lol

1:37 That shot... Oh my heavens.... Breathtaking.

Original: Amazing tmosphere New: Detailed and beautiful Both are great I'm new to this game but it really surprised me

It's kind of sad to see ALL colossi die :((

always so interesting when seeing these comparisons because in my memory... it always looked as good as ps4... and then seeing the side by side I'm like "oh." Beauty of memory I suppose...

Let’s be honest this is pretty good for a game made in 2005

I think the rocks overhaul in the PS4 version is more stunning than the actual remaster of the colossi themselves.

I have to appreciate that this game took the meaning of “remake” literally. Unlike nowadays remakes that keep adding unnecessary spices that nobody asked for.

1:24 waking up on mondays be like

A lot of people saying they would prefer the original but in my opinion the original was EPIC, but by gawd this is what you call a remaster. It looks beautiful. Played all 3 versions love them all but definitely would take the remaster over the original any day of the week, twice on Sundays.

I gotta say that I loved how when Avion fell into the water in the original, it would make a HUMONGOUS splash but in the remake, the splash isn't really that big :(

8:29 best colossu ever

Its amazing how every movement in the colossus look completely realistic They move that way because with that kind of structure of course they would Well done team ICO for making fantasy become reality

Ps2 feels like somewhere forgotten, lost and empty where the ps4 version feels wondrous, and like people should be there but aren't. Ps2 has mystery where ps4 has absence. Both great though, best remake of any game I've ever played so far, and it's all but perfect. (Edit) getting really romantic with these metaphors but; ps2 is like a tree Falling in the forest and ps4 is like stumbling on ancient ruins.

It is incredible how the ps2 models are still good despite being over 10 years old. (I know it is the ps3 version but it is just higher resolution)

The neat detail they added with Malus' flames going out when he is defeated in the PS4 version makes it more saddening.

This is the first remaster where I couldn't decide which one edged the other out. The original has such a unique atmosphere that the remaster lacks a little, but makes up for in amazing environmental detail. They are both so amazing I can't choose

Esse jogo é simplesmente uma obra prima!!!! Não tenho nem o que dizer!!!

why is everything green on the remake ? does that mean Shadow of the Colossus takes place inside The Matrix ?

I think the original had more of an atmosphere

I love both versions. The remake looks amazing and it's nice how it slightly brightens up the world with the some what brighter colors. But the dark and dingy atmosphere in the original and the worse graphics I feel suited the game perfectly. I would honestly encourage anyone who hasn't to play both versions if they have the means.

I just realised what I always liked about the old game over the remake, and it wasn't even anything fancy, but it was the awkward white outline of the Dormin tentacles! It is a random thing that I didn't realise I missed so much until rewatching them side by side

At least it held onto the greatest part of Shadow of the Colossus: letting us watch as Wander gets thrown into the sunset while the death cinematic plays for each Colossus.

The atmosphere in the old one looks more creepy to me

Weird, I wish I could "fuse" the two versions, some details of the PS4 Pro are really great, but they lack some of the PS3 details? Also the lighting of the PS3 work's better in with most monsters...? Idk, but they have 2 completely different visual styles, and both look great.

I like the back round on the PS4 but the artistic element in the ps3 really brought out the original one for me. Like the shading and the feeling that they really animated and worked for every strand of hair.

The PS3 Remaster was exceptional. I have played this on all three consoles and it shows what an amazing job they did as the PS3 version was jawdropping. Love this game, very difficult on PS2 with old style controls

8:16 a dab before death

2:20 agro hit herself in ps4

Am I the only one who prefers the new version?

One of, and always will be one of, the best games ever created. I dont care how many times they release it, i will keep buying

I really love the more detailed models and all, but the change in lighting really irks me. Like it's nice that I can see all the shiny details now but it is called SHADOW of the Colossus, guys. It looked way better when Phaedra loomed over me draped in menacing shadow than illuminated with perfectly bland, clear lighting. Hurts the atmosphere, yknow?

The remake is very very great, one of the greatest remakes of all time! But I still like the darker color palette, blurrier and amazing atmosphere of the original

I always thought the PS4 remake could use a lot more dust particles and better water splashes.

How I remember the game vs how it really looked. Both are stunning I prefer the colossus sound in the original yet the horse noises in the remake are spot on perfect to how they really sound down to sand vs rock noise

I love how the remake gives you more depth of field unlike the original, especially air scene and water scenes.

It is insane that this is a PS2 game. It is extraordinarily ahead of it's time.

I would like to say, in the original, Malus looks absolutely terrifying, because of the full and dark colours, it really pops out at you when you first enter his domain

4:16 I've grown a beard!

This is great! TY for no commentary!

I loooove the definition of the fur and stone-work in the remake. It makes the colossi look even more like fantastical beasts...and it makes it even sadder to kill them :(

I find the newer version to have better lighting, but the older one is more asthetically pleasing.

The Dirge cutscene really shows how much the game improved by the PS4...

Original. Good and really epic. Remaster. More detail... But everything is green

I bought this game for my best friend on his eleventh birthday and we stayed up late playing it and it blew our minds. He beat the game in a few weeks. I haven’t beaten it to this day. We played it on PlayStation 2 and this is definitely the most incredible game I’ve ever played.

Some scenes look better on PS4 and some scenes look better on PS3. So i don't know :P

I like how pretty the ps4 version looks but damn the other one just... it make those feeling hit harder somehow

Still can't believe it, they did the impossible, they took an already perfect game and somehow made it even better!

Love this game! as a kid I used to play the demo version on PS2 a lot, cause I couldn't afford the full game

i prefer the ps3 version for its shadows and atmosphere effect probably done more to not strain the old dog

La versión original es de PS2, y hace unas semanas lo acabo de pasar estuvo increíble.

it feels like they applied blue-green filter to the remake

The original eyes looked regular but the remastered versions of a the eyes looks like little portals

The noises they make sound so much cooler in the original. They all sound like annoyed cows in the ps4 version, and all general sound effects just sound better in the first one. Also I liked how Wander didn't look like he was on crack in the original one lol.

I just thinking how soft is the sand when dirge surfing in there, but agro still can run on that sand

Nice video great job 👍

So much nostalgia from playing the PS2 version with my older brother. Those were some good times...

Damn how come they couldn’t make dark souls remastered look this good

its interesting that in some moments the older version is better, sometimes the textures are a bit more detailed or the timing of the eye glow and camera angles are different 3:55 this scene in particular the ps3 version has better textures and particle effects

I consider the remake as arguably the GOAT video game with my sole criticism being Wander’s facial structure and expression. In the original he had a 1,000 yard stare and was gaunt. He looked like he smoked a pack an hour and hadn’t slept in days and it made me believe that his emotional burden was worse than fighting a 50 ton rock monster. The remake face doesn’t convey that.

The only thing I don’t like about the PS4 version was the removal of the colossi’s death sounds, specifically Phaedra’s. I also prefer the purple color scheme of the colossi in the older versions.

No entiendo porque hay tanta gente diciendo que la versión de PS2 es insuperable. El juego antes era increíble y lo máximo , y en este remake hicieron lo mismo y hasta mejoraron los detalles y sonidos de cada ambiente , la atmósfera es prácticamente la misma , la sensación de combate y de terror es también la misma. Al parecer nunca están contentos en el trabajo que hacen en los estudios de videojuegos. Cuando lanzaron el RE2 Remake dijeron que era horrible porque lo hicieron totalmente nuevo y con mecánicas nuevas. Y este Shadow of the colossus lo hicieron idéntico pero con mejoras muy significativas y dicen que no es bueno porque es lo mismo y según la nostalgia antes daba más emoción. Entonces que es lo correcto? de mi parte digo que es un excelente trabajo. 👍

I'm I the only one who feels bad to see all of them die.

honestly, i like the original more. the colossi felt more mysterious and godlike when you couldn't see them super clearly, either due to fog, color washing, or hardware limitations. something about how easy they are to see now just takes the majesty away from them, not to mention how the remake seems to be missing certain cinematic choices (e.g. in the remake they almost always have their eyes shining now, instead of the original where the eyes would glow and dim depending on the state of the colossi) also, that motion blur effect on cenobia on the remake looks really dumb

SOTC was so far ahead of it's time for a video. It's wild to think this game is almost 20 years old

The ps3 version wasnt the original

Esse jogo e maravilhoso, saudades

PS2/3: Great atmophere that gives it deep, dark and peaceful. PS4: Exsquisite details!

I just got this game from ps-plus and I can say it's amazing; at least for someone who can enjoy a game with arts and a great atmosphere in it. My favorite colossus were the 2 flying ones tho.

I absolutely love this game is remember playing it for the first time on ps2. I wish that there was more to it. Like an addition to the original story. Or maybe a second part where we are another character and it after everything that happened. It would be amazing to see a favorite get a sequel.

2:30 is it just me or do the graphics genuinely look better on the ps3 version

I still remember my own reaction when i saw the first colossus i have no i dea how many times i finished this game on my ps2 literally the best game I've ever played ❤️

1:34 head breaking manually placed lighting vs soulless modern automatic rendering

To these comment critics nothing is good enough huh

Ps4 looks graphically better but the ps2 looks cinematically more appealing.

I'm so glad somebody did this.

Phalanx’s intro is so menacing the pure size of it freaks you out before you even fight it

2:21 Watch out Agro!

Muy buenos aportes los que hace el remake pero si hay ciertos detalles del original que me gustan mas

I didn't notice the difference until the 2nd one. Love the dust and rubble detail.

UM... wow~ Big different! Good video.

I prefer the original gray of the game, not this green of the ps4

Makes me sad when the colossus die

I personally liked the Rubble Falling off the 16th Colossus as he dies in the original but i love the glow on his Arms

Oh my gosh, even the little twig-esque trees shake when the colossi walk in the PS4 version

Shadow of the colossus 2 please!

People, stop judging the newer one, stop hating on its looks and sounds, they put a lot of effort into each version of the game. Just appreciate this game for what it is! I love all the versions!

Nice video

I can’t tell which version I like better. The PS4 version looks a lot cleaner and looks much more alive. But the PS3 version feels very reminiscent of twilight princess which is one of my favorite Zelda games, and that just has this feeling of mystery around it. I also feel like the colossi look a lot better in the PS3 version but they look great in the PS4 version two.

2:21 left screen AGRO WHAT???

Totally didn’t cry while killing all of the colossi

to think this game is basically just you versus 16 bosses yet.. it is an incredible game

Im so happy they remade this masterpiece, otherwise I and a new generation of players never would have been able to experience this extraordinary game.

If is original it should be the ps2 version

The ps4 pro looks like a game, the ps3 looks like a Movie

Everytime i stand against every Colossi, i feel panic. They are very impressive. No matter if it is PS2 or PS4. I love this game

I’m glad that all of the collosi’s deaths had practically identical animations because of the impact of the deaths.
