Remastered Video Game Classics

Shadow of the Colossus Comes with Two New Exciting Features

— January 25, 2018 — Tech
The Shadow of the Colossus remaster will give players the ability to snap photos and play with unique filters. This highly anticipated remaster of a 2005 classic is not just revamping gameplay, but is also looking to enhance the way players enjoy the game. Rebuilt from the ground up, this modern remaster breathes new life into the already amazing game with modern upgrades. Players can expect a visual masterpiece from the game, which can be further augmented with different filters and a photo mode.

The filters are meant to directly augment the experience by changing the way the players view and interact with the world. The photo mode is more self-serving, as it allows players to document and share their experiences in the game. This feature is sure to exhibit the impressive redesign of the game, and will work to promote the adventures of players through the ability to download photos taken in-game.

Both these features are welcome additions to Shadow of the Colossus, but also seem to appeal to the modern gamer. The addition of filters allows the player to tailor a custom experience and use the tool to invoke the emotions they want to feel. The photo mode is more centered around the need to share, and can be seen as a play on the social media aspect in the game.
Trend Themes
1. Photo Mode in Video Games - Video games are offering unique photo modes to enhance the experience for modern gamers.
2. Augmented Reality Filters - Video game filters are creating new opportunities for players to tailor their experience and emotions.
3. Revamped Video Game Classics - Modern remasters and upgrades of classic video games are creating new ways for players to experience old favourites.
Industry Implications
1. Gaming Industry - The gaming industry can explore new opportunities to enhance modern gameplay through the use of photo modes and augmented reality filters.
2. Social Media Industry - The popularity of in-game photo modes and sharing platforms offer the social media industry the chance to explore innovative ways of integrating with the gaming community.
3. Photography Industry - The in-game photo mode is an example of how video games are creating a new market for players who enjoy documenting their virtual experiences through photography.
