Last month's release of
Shadow of the Colossus received critical acclaim and nearly full scores on many review sites, effectively putting it as one of the best remakes ever.
During a tech interview with
Digital Foundry, Marco Thrush, president of Bluepoint Games revealed that their next project would indeed be another remake, instead of an original game.
“Well, we could but we’re doing another remake. This project served us as a great point of growing the art team to the point where we can take on a full triple-A game major scope of art content. So now our next step is, let’s improve the art pipeline, let’s improve the engine, let’s improve workflow for artists, let’s grow on the art side some more to handle our next project because it’s a bit bigger. And our next focus is, all right, let’s work on a design and add new stuff to get to the next remake because now that can be our sole focus of making sure that’s where we put the time and everybody else, they’re already at a level where we can perform.”
With
Shadow of the Colossus, and having co-developed
The Nathan Drake Collection, Bluepoint's decision of working on another remake seems like a smart choice and claiming that this mysterious remake will be even bigger than
Shadow of the Colossus is definitely intriguing.
