Shadow of the Colossus is my favorite game of all time, and ICO ranks pretty high up there too. However, I still own both games in good condition, and the TV I use my PS3 with isn't quite good enough to notice much of a difference between the PS2 version. Question for me is whether it has any bonus commentary features or extras, and also the price.

These games can't come out soon enough.  I bought ICO after the re-release and never finished it and always knew I was missing out on something big (pun intended) with Shadow of the Colossus

I still listen to my ICO soundtrack pretty frequently. I CAN'T WAIT!

OOOOH YEAAAH!
I can barely wait to slay me some highly defined Colossi!

Awesome News. At last, I'll be able to play those games.

" I doubt being prettier will make them any less boring. "

" hmmm, hopefully i'l have a PS3 by then "

Please continue this HD remake trend!!!!

Both of these games BLEW ME AWAY on the PS2 i can just imagine what they will look like on a HD system!

I doubt that being older will make you any more appreciate of artistry than you were when they originally came out.  These are not boring games but they are wasted on stupid on people. "

If you look at the majority of my other posts, I use proper english for the most part.  Pardon my poor sentence structure in this one.  My point still stands:-   "I doubt that being older will make you any more appreciative of their artistry than you were when they originally came out.  These are not boring games but they are wasted on stupid on people."  better?  These are fantastic games and are works of art.  I appreciate twitching gaming as much as the next guy but to call these games boring is to utterly miss their point entirely.

Art is in the eye of the beholder and definitely not beholden to views propagated by angry young men (like you) who support cranky dying old men (like Ebert).   Shadow of The Colossus has been critically acclaimed by many, including the director of Pan's Labyrinth, Benicio Del Toro and it was also the basis of the story progression of the Adam Sandler movie "Reign over Me" wherein the director used it specifically throughout onscreen and off to convey how the lead character was trying to recapture the times he missed with his wife and family, since losing them to the 9/11 tragedy.  It may not be art, but it's inspirational enough for other artists to find a deeper interest in it than you obviously have.   The game was also praised as IGN's 2010 second most nominated Game of the Decade, behind Half Life 2.  But fuck it, what do they know.  The world of gaming and film direction must be populated by uneducated manchildren. I'm getting a PS3 for these games and for The Last Guardian.

How does any of this make the games art? It doesn't and you know it it doesn't. Otherwise your argument would be better than a bunch of poorly constructed nonsense.  They are not art, neither are they universally liked. Deal with it. "

They are not art, your opinion doesn't make them art, the critics opinion doesn't make them art, your original argument is childish and wrong.

" They are not art, your opinion doesn't make them art, the critics opinion doesn't make them art, your original argument is childish and wrong. "

Yes. I don't understand why you are trying to push the idea that they are great works of art when it's clear that I DON'T THINK THEY ARE.

Looks like it's going to be an awesome upgrade to a classic game <3

I am pleased.

Now I may actually have a reason to finally try these games.

I haven't played either on the PS2.
 
Does the low framerate of the game add to the experience? If so I should probably borrow it off a friend instead of buying this.

I missed out on these two titles when it was released on the PlayStation 2. And I cbf buying a new PS2 just to play it. 2011 is going to be so so good.

Thank the gods.

I've almost bought a PS2 so many times recently, for these games and the Persona series, and the other Shin Megami games, maybe now I won't??  If only Atlus would follow suit and release a bunch of their games on ps3, I have more consoles and games than I can possibly play already .. This will help me to not buy another console and in turn buy a ton more games that I won't have time to play either..  Thanks Team ICO

I consider both games to be art.  I also consider you to be unappreciative of the fact as I said right at the beginning of this little tete a tete.  I also said Critically Acclaimed and Shadow of the Colossus is indeed so.  What I said was clear, concise and based in fact.  Deal with that. "

DO WANT.

Pan's Labyrinth was directed by Guillermo del Toro, not Benicio.
