Fan Renders Ico & Shadow of the Colossus In HD
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
I've never had that much of a problem with the frame rate of atleast SoTC. I can remeber that with Ico the frame rate could be a bit choppy, but with SoTC they must've programed something to smoothen it out, so that eventhough the frame rate was still low, it was easy on the eyes.Treblaine said:
But after having played SoTC on my PS3 with progressive scan, there's no way I'm ever playing it on the PS2 again...unless my 60gig breaks down. *prays to God* It looks 5 times crisper and the frame rate got a little boost aswell. I just wouldn't want the visual style to suffer if they are remasterd them. Point in case; MGS Twin Snakes.
Image looked really nice. I'd rebuy both games. Because I love them both. :3
I still need to buy the OSTs in fact.
Anyways, for those umm...gamers that haven't played ICO OR SotC? Whatever is priding you from picking up a PS2 and buying one of the two is seriously hurting your gaming experience. Enough so where I'd say you're wasting some very valuable memories. In every form of media, there are things that you just shouldn't be proud of. It's like coming to a bunch of artists and telling them you've NEVER seen ANY images of the Mona Lisa. On purpose! Even though it's highly valued in that society. It's facepalm worthy. Both Team ICO games are like this. It's been years now, stop playing the games you'll forget about anyways for a few seconds and play the games people are STILL talking about!
Meanwhile, I better hop to the whole Neon Genesis anime, because apparently I'm in the whole "facepalm worthy" part of the Anime-universe for not seeing it yet.

Has anyone played these on a PS3. The launch PS3's up-scaled and smoothed the graphics on old PS2 games.

Oh aye, DO WANT.
So many memories of Shadow... I have shadow of the colossus right now and I was going to play it again until I heard it might come out of Ps3. I'm holding out for it now, and I'd really love to see what Ico was all about, I missed out on that one...

If they did remake them it would be awesome for all the PS3 owners, but as an xbox owner i'd STILL be missing out on a game i've wanted to play for years.
Exactly the PCx2 team did all the work, DF is just stealing the praise.vf501 said:I call bullshit on Digital Foundry making ICO and SotC running in HD, they did squat except load up PCSX2 and the game DVD. The team over at PCSX2.net is responsible for the PC emulation that does the upped resolution videos and images you see there. Even FFX, Metal Gear Solid2/3, and Kingdom Hearts look much better in Higher resolutions.
Read both the Eurogamer articles John linked, all DF did was use PCSX2.
A good 3.0Ghz Dual or Quad Core + a 9800GT/ATI 4770 or better and you can run PCSX2 at full speeds.
I should try some other ps2 games i got on the pc, to bad you can't port ps2 savegames from memorycard to pc without new hardware^^
Trust me... 60fps is something so many console gamers are denied but when you experience it You will know the difference. Before i got into PC gaming I have to admit I had no idea what I was missing out on.Casual Shinji said:
For example I played Quake 2 on my laptop recently, there was a bug causing it to slow down to 15-30 FPS. The game was just frustrating to play, overall a negative experience. Then I realised what I was doing wrong and set it to 60fps... WOW. It was like a completely different game, so smooth and responsive.
Also MGS: Twin Snakes was a completely different type of remake. It was literally made again, re-made. Start from scratch.
In fact, I wish the OP and DF would STOP talking about a "HD Remakes" as that is NOT what is being proposes, simply a HD RE-RELEASE. I think a more appropriate term is "HD Remastered Release" as people are familiar with that term from DVD releases, they know that it (should) be all the same with no changes to what actually happens is there... it's just a lot clearer.
err, I'm pretty sure the article EXPLICITLY mentioned they were using their own emulation software, they said SEVERAL TIMES how they were hanging off developments made by PSx2GiantRedButton said:Exactly the PCx2 team did all the work, DF is just stealing the praise.vf501 said:I call bullshit on Digital Foundry making ICO and SotC running in HD, they did squat except load up PCSX2 and the game DVD.

Err. No. Read the ICO article, they never mention any changes they made at all. The changes they talk about are what the Dev Team behind ICO did between ICO and SotC. And even if they did tweak a few DX9/10 code strings in the PCSX gfx plugin or made adjustments to the PCSX2 core code, the main work was still done by the PCSX2 team who should be mentioned in John's article. At least the DF article mentions the creators and how close they are to perfect PS2 emultation.Treblaine said:err, I'm pretty sure the article EXPLICITLY mentioned they were using their own emulation software, they said SEVERAL TIMES how they were hanging off developments made by PSx2GiantRedButton said:Exactly the PCx2 team did all the work, DF is just stealing the praise.vf501 said:I call bullshit on Digital Foundry making ICO and SotC running in HD, they did squat except load up PCSX2 and the game DVD.

Oh you're talking about John funks article? Oh, well that's completely different, we all know Our John. He's always played fast and loose with the facts of the matter as all journalists do to make a snappy story. To be honest I've thought him a bit funny since he defended Activation's exclusion of Dedicated Servers in Modern Warfare 2.vf501 said:Err.

I've never approved of this like selective fact inclusion in journalism but I see it so often I ignore it and skip straight to the source, in this case DF's article which did an in depth analysis of the emulators' progress and gave their expert opinion on the PLAUSIBILITY of an official HD Re-release. It wasn't really an ode to their work, per se.
taking another look, there are a bit too many degrees of separation here; from the original Sony developers, to the emulator team plugins (and all the various contributors), to Digital Foundry, to Escapist magazine's coverage.
I know, but they've been at it for ages, and they said it would be done last year.Patrick_and_the_ricks said:
