Anyone tried Ico and SOTC out yet?

dp2774074342d ago

yep no update for it when i tried it about 30 minutes ago.

MmaFan-Qc4341d ago

got the SOTC digital version and still no update yet

typikal824341d ago

Today something weird happened, I couldn't do anything with the on screen power button and my Vita got changed to controller 2.

Wth

Bowzabub4342d ago (Edited 4342d ago )

About to right now. Edit.. No update yet.(11:39am EST)

GribbleGrunger4341d ago

Does it work well? What's the general consensus of opinion?

typikal824341d ago

If you have a solid connection on both ends it's great. I killed the first colossus fairly easily once I kicked everyone off the microwaves at work.

GribbleGrunger4341d ago

What about over the internet via WiFi? Did you or anyone try that?

typikal824341d ago (Edited 4341d ago )

@gribble I did it on my Vita via the wifi Internet@Work (about a 1.5Mb connection) to my Wired PS3 at home (12Mb connection). It lagged occasionally.

Aceman184341d ago

i tired GoW while at work with my smartphone hotspot and it sucked balls lol. when at home works like a charm.

i wish my job had a wireless upset, but their so damn old school and paranoid about people not working they wont put it in.

Fyflin4341d ago

Tried shadow of the Colossus for about half an hour on my home WiFi network and it works great. Slight stutter here and there (I have a really fast connection too) but perfectly playable. Just had to squint a bit while playing that's all, some of the ledges are hard to make out on the smaller screen.

Trenta274341d ago

Does this work with the disc version or digital? I have disc and no update.

Bowzabub4341d ago (Edited 4341d ago )

Update it through your PS3 first.. Then try to remote play.. It won't let you update it through remote play. Hope this helps.

Trenta274340d ago

Woo! Thank you. Bubbles for you.

Shadow of the Colossus and Ico should be remade in UE5. I know Shadow of the Colossus was in 2018 but I say remake both of them for PS5 and PC.

isarai40d ago

The remake and Blupoints in house engine is more impressive as a whole than anything ive seen from UE5 so far. Id rather they stick to their own engine.

Cacabunga40d ago

SoTC doesn’t need another remake.. last one was awesome

PRIMORDUS39d ago

Fine let it be Bluepoints engine. The whole point I was trying to make was I would love them both to be remade for PC since the PC never had them to begin with (I threw in PS5) and now that Sony is bringing over their games it would be awesome.

FinalFantasyFanatic40d ago

I wouldn't mind a PC port even though I own it on PS4, it really doesn't need a remake though.

DarXyde40d ago

Shadow of the Colossus is kind of a perfect game, at least to me.

Man, this has me nostalgic. I know how I'm spending my Sunday evening.

robtion40d ago

It's really timeless. Put SOTC together with The Last Guardian and ICO and you have one amazing trilogy. I think Fumito Ueda is a genuine auteur.

chicken_in_the_corn40d ago

I tried the remake but couldn't get into it. Time to give it another go.

Elda40d ago

I tried both versions of the game & I can never get past the 4th boss.

Inverno40d ago

Well if anyone else can't get enough of this game you should check out Project Tribute. Basically a fan remake with all the cut colossi for PC.

isarai40d ago

HOLY CRAP!!! why have i mever heard of this?! They even got the worm! Of all the cut ones the worm was the most fascinating to me

God of War Needs to Redefine Kratos' Purpose Clearly and Quickly

Whatever form the next God of War game takes, it needs to be clear about what role Kratos is playing, lest the franchise lose direction.

I'm pretty sure it'd be a major mistake having Atreus as the main character in the next GoW. Seems to me like at best people tolerate him and his gameplay sections.

Ideally the story for the next game would be that Atreus has gone missing in Egypt, Kratos gets mad about it, picks up Mimir and goes on a god killing rampage.

Mad_Matt59d ago

If that is an option for the dev team then they need to make it a clean slate. No Atreus, No Mimir. That's what happened when he changed pantheons before. Lets Kratos be in that world. But it will be a difficult task to complete. Kratos and his past demons are getting a bit redundant as far as story telling goes.

Nacho_Z59d ago

Yeah there's not a lot of meat left on the bone story wise. Personally I'd happily accept any goofy reason they could come up with for why Kratos is in Egypt chopping off heads. I'm personally not that bothered about the finer points of the storytelling, although they do it well.

The_Hooligan58d ago

I would still like to have Mimir in the next game. They (devs) can justify it by saying that Mimir wants to gain knowledge about other realms/pantheons. Also, personally I think Alastair Duncan did a great job as Mimir and would love to see the continuation of the small banters Kratos and Mimir had in the past games.

goldwyncq58d ago

The point of Ragnarok's ending is to show that Atreus is his own man now. Having Daddy Kratos save him in Egypt after getting himself into trouble would just undo his entire character development.

Nacho_Z58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

The point was more to do with getting Atreus out of the way rather than him being saved. Let's say he's off on his own adventures then and invent another reason for Kratos to be in Egypt.

Could be that Kratos thinks he's been captured or killed as motivation but at the close of the game it turns out Atreus has been up to his own shady shenanigans.

Lionsguard59d ago

They need to bring back the "God of War" in God of War. I was expecting to unleash hell and fury in Asgard against Thor that they really talked up in the first game but all we got was brooding middle aged dad drunk in a beer hall. Ragnarok was still "good" but I left that game expecting a lot more.

InUrFoxHole59d ago

Tried Rag... just couldn't get into it. Felt like more of the same. I would welcome a Kratos only game again.

Shadow Of the Colossus Retro Review – A Colossal Experience in a Beautiful World

Zachary M. Cain said: Shadow of the Colossus is hailed as one of the best action-adventure titles of its time. The game was originally released for the PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2005. It was so good in fact, it got a remastered version in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and was well received by old and new fans alike. Let’s revisit this iconic classic in 2024 and see how well it holds up to its past reputation.
