Sony's Shadow of the Colossus should make for an easy game of year nominee come December, but every build we've seen so far has still had a few problems. Specifically, the framereate has never been up to snuff and the game always seemed to suffer from a bit too much flickering.
We're happy to report then that the most recent build shown at this year's Leipzig Games Convention is cleaner, crisper and smoother than any we've seen in the past, which leads us to believe Sony and its amazing development team are more than capable of making the constant 30 frames per second goal a reality.
About this Game
Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment's team behind the critically acclaimed ICO. Players take the role of a young man seeking the truth of an ancient tale of power hidden in a mystical land. Shadow of the Colossus is a majestic journey through ancient lands to seek out and destroy gigantic mythical beasts. With a trusty horse at your side, players explore the spacious lands and unearth each towering Colossus creature. The uneasy task of defeating a Colossus relies on intelligent puzzle solving and action oriented gameplay. Armed with strong wits, a mystical sword and a sturdy bow, players use cunning and strategy to topple each behemoth.
This re-release of the classic adventure game Shadow of the Colossus has been remastered for HD resolution and 3D displays, and also offers full PlayStation Network Trophy support.
