8 Most Anticipated PlayStation 4 Exclusives Of 2018
5. Shadow Of The Colossus Remake
When it's out: February 6
What it is: A from the ground up remake of Fumito Ueda and Team ICO's landmark action-adventure and by golly, is it an intoxicating sight to behold. Bluepoint Games - who, incidentally, took charge on the 2011 remaster - are on duty as development leads for the remake, intent on sticking true to their word by remaking all of the game's assets from scratch, rather than resort to a spruce job.
That being the case, expect the same sense of guilt to wash over your conscience as each Colossi succumbs to Wander's blade, only now, the superior fidelity and performance will make the pain all the more difficult to bare. God save your soul.
In regards to additional content, that's a big fat no, but a few changes will be made under the hood, including a new control scheme that aims to remedy the original's oft-problematic and clunky layout.
For those that got their feet wet with Ueda's work starting with The Last Guardian, Shadow of the Colossus is not to be missed. Don't sleep on this one.
