Somehow the original PS2 release is better than the remakes. Not that they're bad remakes. They're excellent remakes. But there is just some vibe that only the original PS2 graphics can capture. The feeling of "this is the future of video games". It is incredible that this came out on PS2. Similar to Half-Life 2, it's existentially terrifying in its vast world that is nearly barren of civilization. You feel so alone playing it, which makes it even more tragic when you meet a colossus just to take it down. This game is a masterpiece.
