Specifically, upon completing of the game, the player can restart the game to see the English translations of the mysterious language that Yorda, the player-character's companion, uses, and a two-player mode with the second player in control of Yorda. ICO's remastering is based on the European version, which features additional content that did not make it into the North America release of the original game, as well as some altered puzzles from these original releases. The collection includes bonus content, including two XMB Dynamic Themes and exclusive video content for ICO Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian. Both games in the collection support 7.1 surround sound. Both games support stereoscopic 3D, taking advantage of the original design of the games with considerations towards depth-of-field viewing as evidenced by the large landscapes. With the more powerful PlayStation 3, both games feature a fixed frame rate of 30 frames per second the original PlayStation 2 version of Shadow of the Colossus was noted for pushing the limits of the older console and often suffered from framerate losses. For the remastering, both games have had a graphics overhaul to allow them to support modern high-definition displays up to 1080p. The core game and story for both ICO (2001) and Shadow of the Colossus (2005) remains unchanged with the remastered versions. Both games can be played in full 720p or 1080p. Graphical updates include consistent 30 frames-per-second gameplay during 2D play, more detailed textures, and better anti-aliasing. The collection in other countries features two dynamic PS3 XMB themes and exclusive behind-the-scenes videos, including the NICO video previously released only as a preorder bonus for Shadow of the Colossus in Japan on DVD. The Collectors Edition (available only in Japan) includes two PlayStation 3 XMB themes and a collectible booklet covering both games. In the NTSC and PAL regions, the games are on one Blu-ray disc, while in Japan they were released as separate titles. The ICO remaster includes features originally exclusive to the Europe/PAL version, such as two-player cooperative play during a second playthrough. But I'm not counting the Ps4 version mostly because I don't have it and also there is no way to "improve it" as with the older versions.1 Blu-ray disc The ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection (known in PAL regions as ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Classics HD and sometimes referred to as The Team ICO Collection) is a high-definition re-release of both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, released on September 2011 exclusively for the PlayStation 3.īoth games feature 3D support and trophies. I'll soon be getting a Ps4 with a copy of the game to test myself how it looks, but as far as I've seen this would be the superior way to play it, the graphics are just so damn amazing. Like, for the Ps2 version with the emulator PCSX2 you are able to get 4k resolution at 60fps and better shadows.įor the Ps3 version with the emulator RPCS3 you are able to also get 4k resolution, tho at 60fps the game suffers from 2x speed bug.īut at the same time, booting the original game through its original console on a TV has its "magic", I don't know how to describe it, but I'm legit trying to get a CRT Tv and a Ps2 to boot my game and play it like that.īut what do you think from a technical and mostly objective perspective would be the technically superior way to play it? Ps2 console, Ps3 console, Ps2 emulated at Ps3 emulated at 4k? Where I want to get are the capabilities of modding and emulation. I myself have emulated games always dumping my own disks but thats not the point. Now I know about the whole world of emulation and its big pros and cons, I am not going to get into piracy things neither moral things. I myself only got to play the game on the Ps2 at a friend's house when I was a child and more recently on my Ps3, I still boot up the game from time to time because man, its just so good. Also this is not a recommendation thread, I wanted to be a personal opinion thread from people who got to play the game through different platforms. I know that "the best way to X thing" will always be a subjective thing, but we can still be objective about more simple things, like graphics/visuals, FPS, extended capabilities through modding, etc. Hello everyone and thanks for passing by, any reply on this matter would be highly appreciated!
