PlayStation channel has been updated with a new video titled “Remaking a Masterpiece”. In it, the Shadow of the Colossus development team shares their vision and doubts. How do you approach remaking a game as beloved as Shadow of the Colossus? Why even touch the original, to begin with? Randal Lowe admitted that working on this classic game with such a prestige attached to it is a big responsibility. It is up to the team to make the game as great as players remember it, and it is quite a high bar.
