I hate the games. Always have. But these are just HD upgrades and most of the time the HD upgrades are average at best. A remake is what Halo is getting or what Riddick-Butcher Bay got.

hopefully its because they are too busy with skyrim and are giving it the hundreds of hours it requires, instead of spending time re-reviewing old games.

Well they didn't have a problem "wasting time" reviewing old Splinter Cell's though.

The Perfect Dark remaster. Playing Perfect Dark in dual analogue controls with 60 frames per second? Yes please. I contest that PD needed a remaster more than any other.

it's ok, not as impressive a remaster as i was hoping for.

at least it was cheap the launch sale price at best buy was $25 so i don't feel ripped off or anything.

I've have only played through Ico so far....incredible. Really is surprising how good it looks. There were textures that you couldn't really make out before that look pretty good now. I know that Shadow of the Colossus is supposed to look really good as well with the detail on the colossi.

i was messing around looking at stuff on the bb site and saw the sale and immediately jumped up got in the car and picked it up.

i was on the fence about buying it but at $25 there was no way i was going to pass it up.

I haven't played Ico yet so I reserve judgment for when I do, but SotC is excellent. If you've never played it and you have the audacity to still call yourself a gamer, you owe it to yourself to play it and the remaster is the ideal way to experience it.

My favourite remake is probably Resident Evil on the Gamecube. But that's because I'm not particularly keep on buying HD remakes. The only other one that comes to mind is Half-Life: Source, if that counts. Maybe even the Monkey Island remakes...

frame rate is wayyy better now , but the detail in the colossi just looks amazing, especially on a big tv. I love just holding L1 and running around them , looks so epic.

I disagree I hated that remaster... The controls were actually made WORSE... They didn't make it true dual analog... The right stick doesn't move the screen it just moves the reticule... And the left stick moves your character... it plays really really awkwardly it is almost impossible to aim.. It was easier with the N64 actually because there was only one stick the direction of where you where moving and where the aiming of the reticule was going didn't conflict one another.

They've only had a HD makeover and the fps have been increased. Hardly a remaster, but it is better than most HD classics released.

All these "remastered" games are a waste of money imo. The developers should put in some effort and actually create new content instead of just porting the same game at a higher res.

How good a remaster is should be based on the remastering process and the end product, not on how good the game itself already was. From my understanding the Shadow of the Colossus/Ico HD port didn't do anything special versus what other HD port have already done.

The only difference is the resolution, frame rate and draw distance. Nothing else has been altered.

This is the bare minimum for the HD collections you see with the exception of maybe 3d which is par for the course for Sony's HD collections.

If you want an actually drastic improvement of graphics thenthe Halo, MGS and Resident Evil Remakes completely blow the Shadow of the Colossus port out of the water in terms of improvements.

that's not all they did. You should watch the behind the scenes that come with the game. Or if you don't want to own epicness you can prolly watch them on youtube. They did more then up rez and higher framerate

Yeah, and this is exactly what you should come to expect from any of these HD ports. In this respect the team ico collection is nothing special. The core game experience might be much better than whats seen in alot of other HD ports but thats saying something about the actual games, not the "remastering" process.

I've watched the comparisons. They really haven't added anything. Aside from resolution, draw distance and frame rates it's the same game.

The topic creator suggested that the team ico collection is the best remaster ever. I disagreed and provided reasons as to why.

yes the graphics blew me away. looks better than most ps3 games. Reminds me of how stunned i was by the graphics back on the ps2Androvinus
I think I ran around the turtle colossus for like 15 minutes just looking at how aweome he looked. It really does stand up to most new games on the market
