That's because it's not a remaster, it's a remake, in the same vein as RAC.

Not sure if that's the case. Early on they said the graphics were redone but the gameplay is essentially left the same.

While R&C is built from the ground up, completely new visual assets and not using the original code.

We will have to wait and see the final product, but I'm anticipating a remaster much like Halo 1, Halo 2, and Gears of War. Completely redone visual assets but using the original code and only minor changes. For example, Halo 1 Anniversary added split screen campaign which doesn't actually change much in the game.

It's tough to determine how to use these terms sometimes.

I'd argue that Gears, The Nathan Drake Collection, and the Halo Anniversary games are remastered. Since the games themselves are largely unchanged, they're just better looking versions of mostly the same assets.

 

I'd consider Crash a remake since the games are functionally the same, but they use all new assets and modernized controls.

 

R&C I think is more of a reboot than anything else. Since the game itself is actually different. With a new story, and new levels and such.

 

I don't quite know where this game falls,  but I assume it's just a remaster. Although a very good looking one.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Brah, it's already launching at $40

We need to support it so we get more awesomeness like this and the $40 price point Sony is embracing!

I'm sorry but i can't. I already have a backlog of games i got cheap on sale so can't justify buying too much at launch. 

I'll get god of war day 1 next year anyway. 

The curse of being a PS fan...

I wouldn't call myself a fan of this game per se, but its a very unique title and was an ambitious title for PS2. Although it ran horribly on PS2 and I eventually played the PS3 version because of that.

If they basically just changed the visual assets, I will likely skip it. I would like to see an Ico remaster of this quality given I never completed it.

I would love to have an ICO remake as well. I played it again on the ps3 and while it looks gorgeous, the original low res backgrounds stood out like a sore thumb. I had hoped the game would actually render the rest of the castle in the background to give you a much greater sense of immersion by being able to exactly see where you came from and where you're going like in TLG. ICO with TLG's engine would be great!

Or put it in VR and feel the connection with the characters, age and scale of the castle through that :)

This one is the same as Crash trilogy. It's a remake. It's basically the same game with the same levels but everything is redone from scratch with improved controls.



Wow, that reminds me I have yet to play Last Guardian.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

It's not a remaster so I don't quite understand why you're comparing it to ICO. It's remade from the ground up. 

boring gameplay... from 2 of 2 games I tested from the ICO team...

I understand why people find these games boring, although it breaks my heart. All Team ICO games are the most beautiful games I have ever played, but it's all about enjoying the atmosphere and finding your way. There's only a very little story told in each game, and most of the story is told at the end of the games with many interpretations left.  If you don't like the settings, just forget these games. It's a love it or hate it thing. But SotC is the title with the most action, if you were missing that in Ico and TLG. But gameplay is definitely not the strongest argument for these games. Actually it has always been the weakest point. Nevertheless each game is an uncomparable experience.

We will see...

"hile the upgraded presentation of the PS4 version is impressive, it very much plays identically to the original--for better or worse. I managed to kill two major colossi, and in that brief time, it was apparent that many of original game's problems remain"

https://www.gamespot.com/amp-articles/we-played-a-half-hour-of-shadow-of-the-colossus-ps/1100-6454534/

 

So again, I will likely skip this because it sounds like the gameplay is the same.
