The AGROCAST for April 2018 focuses on the remake of Shadow of the Colossus, released on PS4.
We’re back here again. Shadow of the Colossus has been remade on PlayStation 4, and as a game of strong importance to both myself and cohost Kris, as well as our friendship. So it goes without saying that we would revisit a remake in some capacity.
It’s pretty clear that we hold a certain degree of favour for this game, the podcast is named after the loyal horse Agro after all, However, favouritism didn’t stop us from being critical of the PS3 version and recognizing some of the inherent issues in that remaster. The PS4 release, however, was touted as being remade from the ground up.
It’s been several years since our last Shadow of the Colossus podcast. Has our opinion of the game changed? Have BluePoint delivered a remake that holds up to the game’s legacy and addresses some of the most prevalent issues in the PS3 version? Let’s find out.
