Shadow of the Colossus reissue sparks confusion
What does it mean?
Japanese retailers have caused a bit of a stir in the gaming press by listing a reissue of Team ICO's PlayStation 2 classic Shadow of the Colossus.
With Team ICO's newest title The Last Guardian coming soon many gaming news outlets have jumped on it with a note of confusion.
The reissue is not a PlayStation 3 makeover in the style of the God of War Collection but merely a reprint of the Playstation 2 original.
The common wisdom suggests that Sony are re-releasing Shadow of the Colossus in its original form in order to rekindle the kind of feelings that the game engendered when it first hit the PlayStation 2 three years ago, in the hope of softening up the market for The Last Guardian.
If this is true then The Last Guardian should see a release date soon after Shadow of the Colossus makes its return to retail.
Whether this is what transpires or not it is nice to see Sony still sees value in the more eclectic titles their back catalogue.
