Sony Trademarks Shadow of The Colossus Ahead of Tonight's E3 Conference

Is this one of Sony's big announcements at tonight's E3 conference?

[AspiringProGenji]

Remake?
Sequel?

Give it to meeeeeee!!
Hopefully it is not just an IP renewal

[darthv72]

Hopefully it is something new as the game was already given the HD remaster treatment on PS3. If it is a remake (like the PS4 ratchet and clank) I won't be disappointed but it would just fit the current narrative of sony and older games.

[RpgSama]

If they Remake it, fully from the ground up Remake it, I would buy it in a heartbeat, want to get lost in that strange land again, the game was so ahead of its time, that sometimes even the remaster didn't​ run as intended.

[thekhurg]

Hope it doesn't take as long to release as the Last Guardian did!

[FITgamer]

Remake or Sequel, Day One.

[darthv72]

@fit, sequel - day one. remake i will pass.

[TitanUp]

Gaf Rumor has it as a remaster even possible remake but I wouldn't expect too much from the trademark.

[mikeslemonade]

Meh it's a catch 22. Remake would take forever. Another remaster is something we don't want anyway.

[LexHazard79]

Man I would be happy with a remaster on PS4 Pro.

[MegamanXXX]

That game alone is still better than Microsoft Press conference

[SmielmaN]

I laugh when reading ppl bitching about a SOTC remaster but in other articles are praising original Xbox box BC. Hilarious! As if it would be better to play a game from 2 gens ago in its original form, as opposed to having it improved upon and replay it that way.

Smh

[_-EDMIX-_]

I mean don't be surprised if they're simply re-releasing it with their PlayStation 2 emulation program.

[bouzebbal]

Gotta love Sony for all the good vibes..

[darthv72]

@smiel... maybe that's because SotC was already remastered on the PS3. Plays pretty damn good and looks good in HD. It also cost you again (if you bought the original) and if this is another remake then guess what... it will cost you again.

As for og xb, that doesnt cost anything (that we know of) and some of those games still hold up well today. So... yeah xb bc can be praised because it is taking something old and making it feel new again for free instead of taking something that was old, was remastered and then remastering it again for more $$ (that's just a possibility, not an exact run down of how it will be).

Like i said above. the sony narrative is that they dont know why people will play older games but as long as there is interest... they will be glad to sell them back to you (even if you already own them).

[4U2NV]

I dont care if its remake or remaster straight day one purchase. Just last week playing the last guardian i thought about sotc, i even put the soundtrack on and wished sony made a remake/remaster..... oh how my wish has came true!

[Skull521]

Coming to PS5 in 2021!

[Timesplitter14]

If they literally just take the original SotC and make it run 120 fps in HD, I will buy a PS4

If it's a complete remake that runs at 30 fps, I might pass

[RommyReigns]

Shawn Layden's Twitter profile pic is Ratchet, maybe a sign of the new reboot Ratchet and Clank 2 appearing. Also the T shirt he wears at the E3 presentation could be another clue, he wore a Crash Bandicoot shirt years ago and the Trilogy Remaster is releasing at the end of this month (also Coco is fully playable in every level of the three games, she likely would have to be unlocked after completing the campaign first. And clues on Crash Team Racing on the Warped Trophies).

[Gamist2dot0]

Hum...he did wear a God of War shirt once at a conference and a new GOW was announced.

[starchild]

I sure hope something comes from this. Anything Japan Studio makes automatically gets my attention.

[thejigisup]

Only someone who doesn't like games, art, or life would disagree.

[Godmars290]

Or a remaster?

[NecoTehSergal]

And it's a fuckin beautiful Remake, my wallet is ready.

[zcmilano]

I always prefer to see new IPs/new content, but this would actually be huge. A remake of one of my fav ever games. Get hyped.

[SquidBuck]

If you read the article, 4 other unknown names of possible games were also trademarked.

[_-EDMIX-_]

For all we know Sony might have simply told their lawyers to hold off on making the trademarks official so that way they could have a very explosive E3 as we haven't really got a lot of leaks from them compared to others.

[starchild]

Yeah, ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are masterpieces and some of my most memorable games of all time. I already own the remastered collection for my PS3, as well as the originals on PS2, but if they actually remade SotC I would buy it.

[-Foxtrot]

Strange. If it's a remake I thought they might have made a remake of ICO first...not something we really need though. I'm sure remake wise I could think of another few titles which would be better suited.

Not like them to go back sequel wise...thought it would be something new if it was a sequel

Wonder what it is.

[Timesplitter14]

That's not so strange to me. I'm pretty sure most people are massively more interested in an SotC remake than an Ico remake

[naruga]

SotC is a prequel to ICO so could make some sense if it is released 1st

[_-EDMIX-_]

I mean sure it makes sense if you're trying to look at it that way but I think all Fox is trying to say is that it would make more sense for them to release it the way they were originally released and not necessary in the original chronological order of the actual timeline of the series itself.

[mxyzptlk]

I hope it's a remake. Shadow of The Colossus doesn't really need a sequel imo.

[Movefasta1993]

I hope it's a sequel,we already have a great remaster on PS3,and the world is huge ,they could tell new stories. But a remake is cool too obviously

[Darkfist_Flames]

none of Ueda's game get sequels.

[basilboxer]

Wow, this would be absolutely massive. A slam dunk for Sony if that turns out to be the case.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

Hopefully it's a sequel. I'm getting tired of remakes.

[Silly gameAr]

That's different. Usually people say they don't want sequels of games for some reason.

[madhouse02]

No way. This would knock it out of the park!

[zivtheawesome]

hmm interesting, there were SOTC remake rumors a few hours ago. seems like they were true.

[TWB]

Just to tone down any dangerous hype...

Can we be sure that this is not related to the movie they have been working on for years? Sony's press conference would be a decently appropriate place to announce the status of the movie or even show a trailer, if they are confident in it being a good movie.

[moegooner88]

PS2 classics release most likely.

[Chaosdreams]

Even that would be welcomed.

[Razzer]

That is what I'm thinking as well.

[Chaosdreams]

*Steps over an x*

Give me, give meeeeeee.

[sizeofyou]

AND Bravo Team..?

SOCOM? Fireteam Bravo..?
Hmmmm...

[sizeofyou]

Methinks someone could be having a wind up. But we'll see!

[meatnormous]

DO NOT GET MY HOPES UP OF A SOCOM REVIVAL!

[Araragifeels]

Socom 2 Remake hopefully

[Liqu1d]

Don't play with my emotions.

[sizeofyou]

Lol... ^^^ ^^^ ^^^
Can but hope...but not getting my hopes up too much!

[InKnight7s]

Sony is the best in e3 this year confirmed.

E: auto correct:)

[stuna1]

Shadow of the Colossus II.

[IRetrouk]

Shadow of the slayer would be a good name if it's a sequel

[Ninjamonkey82]

4k remaster

[zielocz3k]

this is not Microsoft conference

[sk8ofmnd]

Good one 😂😂

[Ninjamonkey82]

4K upscaled remaster

[TheColbertinator]

Interesting trademarks

[Scissorman82]

What about an expansion? SotC fans are aware that the original game left a lot of colossi on the cutting room floor...*hype intensifies*

[ziggurcat]

oh my!

[-Gespenst-]

This game doesn't need a remake. I wouldn't be opposed to a sequel, but I reckon this is just a Ps4 release of the HD version or something.

[tulholdren]

If so another awesome.

[TheGamez100]

Maybe a port of the ps3 release? Or most likely just a ps2 classic for the ps4. Course we all wish for a remake or sequel.

[Last_Boss]

I just had a thought. What do you think of a game made from Ueda & From Software.

[Elda]

Interesting.

[Elda]

If this is a remake I hope I'm not a senior citizen when it releases...lol..I would definitely buy.

[EnigmaSG1]

Insider on Gaf said it was a Remake...

Also, Bluepoint said they have been working on a classic remake of a game.

http://bluepointgames.com/e...

"We are passionately at work remaking a classic for current-gen game systems, growing our capabilities as a team and raising the bar for what fans anticipate from us."

VR perhaps?

[SuperbVillain]

im hoping for an onimusha remake

[sk8ofmnd]

Holy Sh!t... Playstation owners would go APE SH!T for a sequel, prequel, or anything and esp if made by team ico... Just as long as theyve been working on it for a few years and it doesnt take a 10th the time it took them to release The Last Guardian (even though it was a small team that made tlg) to release this game.

[shammgod]

One of my favorite games ever

[Dan_scruggs]

See you in 15 years.

[Einhander1971]

Sounds promising can't wait for Sony to deliver later:)

[Liqu1d]

Sony pls.

[ajax17]

Hnnnnnnng!!

[thejigisup]

gimme a new shadow game with full vr support

[Father__Merrin]

Oh no plz no that's too much.... A coop colossus game wish I was day off tomorrow instead of work as I really want to watch sonys conference

[GamePeace]

Again? Hopefully updated visuals in some way ...

[jorellpogi]

This is an awesome news for us who never played the ASOTC before. Finally we can play this great game in this generation.

[Yohshida]

Is this a remaster of the remastered version or a 2. game?

[TheTony316]

It's a remake.

[Yohshida]

Looks good, still have the limited Edition ps2 and ps3 remastered Version

[RosweeSon]

Glad I missed this spoiler ;) amazing news tho I had both ICO and this on ps2 only finally got round to ICO last year or 2 on PS3 before I retired it started up this SOTC but couldn't get into it and moved on. I'm sure I would love it normally just wasn't feeling it at the time was just gonna sign up to Ps now for a bit and nail it there but a proper PS4 version 🙌🏻🙏
27995;🕹🕹

[S2Killinit]

And i never played the original!

[bangoskank]

I love the game but was a remake really necessary? It's just the same game with a facelift.

[feraldrgn]

You don't actually know that.
There was content that didn't make it in the original, so this may well have some of that.

[bangoskank]

I doubt Bluepoint studios will be able to add anything special. Fumeda and his team are what made this game a classic.
