@Sign:Wow thank you so much! I really appreciate this! I'll PM you then if no one else helps out. Thanks again!

@Sign: Thanks for the reply, my current soul level is 59

To show my appreciation I will gift the person who does so any steam game under £5 :)

I was wondering if any kind GiantBomb community member would do me a massive favour. Apparently I need the 'Officials cap' item dropped by the Fat Official behind the portcullis in 1-3 to unlock Yuria the Witch. Not realising this at the time, I was overburdened and dropped the item. I'm playing as a heavy magic user so without advanced spells like firestorm I'm kind of screwed. Can someone please help me out?

We'll need to arrange via pm a time to do pvp.

I would be so greatful if anyone could help me! I know a lot of you guys are probably playing darksouls right now but I'm sure a quick dip into demon's souls won't be too painfull.

Thanks! GB community is awesome and I'm sure you won't fail me!

*Edit* I've got the EU version of the game - not sure if that makes any difference

First Majora's Mask andd now you declare FF8 to be your favourite Final Fantasy? Patrick you've just become my favourite GB crew member!

I used upscalers in the past for my ps2 and was never happy with it. It was a really expensive model too (~$300). They just introduce a huge amount of input lag and I was never satisfied with the colour calibration. I eventually got some with some good quality component cables direct to the tv and the 480i image looked better than the 1080p image through the upscaler. Hence I did the same with the wii.

My respect for you has sky-rocketed Patrick after hearing your thoughts on Majora's Mask. Fantastic game.

As an apology for my awful pun, here is the Skyward Sword 'Romance' trailer:

Awwwwww!

I can let you guys know how it is right now since I've played the previous games (Rune Factory 3 (DS) and Rune Factory Frontier (Wii)). They're good games - I'm not even a fan of farming games but by combining it with an action rpg and social elements (like persona) it works really well.

The US trailer for record of agarest war. Can't believe no one mentioned that yet...

General rule:

Games done by BluePoint games are very well done (God of War, Ico&Shadow of the colossus). They improve framerates, do some remodelling, some texture bumps and resoultion. Also proper trophy support etc.

In God of War's case (psp) they even re-did all the fmvs since they didn't look good just upscaling from the psp resolution. In Ico and SoTC they kept in contact with the original creators and consulted them about any slight tweaks they were making so it fit the original creator's intention.

Games done by capcom/ubisoft are quick lazy cashins - only resolution increase and in some cases worse framerate (resi4, prince of persia, splintercell etc) .
