The Most beautiful Art style ever in a video game comes to life on the PS3. Gone are the horrible aliasing, jaggies and inconsistent framerate. Omg you must watch both of the video come to life. It looks like a Disney movie (art style, not grafix). and team Ico's custom Motion blur on the ps2 really shows on the PS3. Please watch full screen and in 720p and get ready to CRY

let him answer lol. i figured that but he said "but sometimes i want to see what the developers were able to accomplish back in the day". so it sounds like he could play the HD collection but instead wants to play the original version

If you have a 3DS, im guessing you're just sticking to the N64 versions of all the games? :P

i usually want my "1st experience" to be the original...i already played on n64

never had a ps1/ps2/or ps3 so

i never played ico or shadow thats why id rather play the original first.

...

people who have already beat the games...i can understand them wanted to try new versions..

im just giving my opinions on old graphics and such. and what i feel.

Actually, the PS1 version is probably better. The Gamecube version used the gameplay of MGS2 but didn't even bother to redesign the levels and boss fights to accommodate it and the cut scenes infinitely more cheesy. The only undeniable improvement was graphics.

Oh ok. So what you're saying is even if you had a PS3 you would still want the original game. Anyway the PS2 one is great even if its not remastered and in HD.

Hmm I never did play Ico and I wouldn't mind playing Shadow of the Colossus at a decent framerate.

I might check it out.

I think I'll buy this hd collection just so I can experience SOTC with a silky smooth framerate.

It looks good but it doesn't look significantly better than the PS3 originals. Not $40 good, anyway. It's just like the God of War collection - renders at 720p but not a damn thing has been changed other than that. Ico's textures are embarassingly bad. Shadow of the Colossus benefits more from the increase in resolution and (especially) framerate. It was basically unplayable on the PS2.

Looks stunning for a remaster. People always say that graphics don't make a good game but, in Ico's and SotC's case, it certainly does help. Too bad they couldn't get it to be locked at 60 fps.

Looks great, but, they couldn't get 60FPS on these games? Oh well, 1080p is a huge plus and should make up for it.

I honestly didn't see a huge difference. I mean, the lighting looked sharper, but... I didn't see a signifigant difference.

Good to know I'm not the only one. There really was very little effort put into updating the two games. Nintendo's got two really lazy ports with Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64 on the 3DS, but at least they cleaned up some textures and added polygons to some of the more noticeable models.

That's all you'll notice, as far as I know it's just making it sharper and fixing the framerate problems SOTC had (not sure if ICO had any problems with this).

I gotta agree graphically. I still own both Ico and SotC but I will still get this remake anyway, but I am disappointed with the graphical overhaul. All i see is brighter colors and less jaggies. I wasn't expecting The Last Guardian graphical update but more detail wouldn't hurt.

Though I think the frame rate issues is the big change to the game, and not so much the graphics. That was a huge problem In SotC.

That's what I was going to say.

Vinyl is not a valid comparison, because it's actually DIFFERENT. It's analogue vs. digital, and in theory vinyl can offer more than even uncompressed CD's (nevermind itunes compressed MP3's, which absolutely do stink).

In case of playing PS2 version or PS3 version of a "remastered" game, it would really be a sad effort if the PS2 game was actually better in any way at all. At minimum the resolution and framerates should be better every single time, and all other things would be equal.

Twin snakes isn't superior it's inferior in every way besides graphics.

team ico didnt go for 60fps for a reason, they wanted to keep the mood. 60fps will make it feel more like a camcorder and less like a sad lonely movie. for the people expercting the last guardian like graphics....this is a remaster, Not a remake.

Except that this will have the same graphics only without running at about 5 frames per second, it's like choosing a scratched CD over a FLAC file.

They didn't put much time into it apparently. I've seen amateur modders do better work as far as graphics go. I still have it pre-ordered, but I'm not that impressed. I just want to play the games I suppose.

I love the changes, I remember playing SoTC on my BC PS3 and never had a problem with jaggies or the framerate. It only had distance pop-up textures that someone could find troubling, but it is definitely the best looking game of the last generation (seriously, have the other games were just cartoony like GoW and Halo) other than Rouge Squadron. It looks better than most early current gen games and all Wii games period.
