    Looks pretty damn awesome huh? Can't wait for this to come out and I'm glad some people who have never played it can pick it up. Also, Trophies!

    Sucks we have to wait till spring 2011. Is the HD conversion a lengthy process? Or do they just want it closer to TLG?

    Looks like the draw distance has improved. That's good.

    its going to be cool in 3D, especially with the incredible draw distance and enhanced depth of field thanks to the PS3 upgrade.

    Shame it's only running at a constant 30FPS though (although, that's still like a 50% improvement over most of the original game) - guess it would have taken far too much effort to optimise the engine/emulation to get it running at 60. 
     
    Still, can't wait - gonna be awesome. Plus, I never did finish Ico...

    I expected more for some reason, I'm still buying it of course, Shadow of the Colossus HD must be some impressive shit. Ico... well not that much but I'll still finish it just to play them in order.

    I'm not impressed. They could at least add more polygons.

    thats not how it works and that requires a decent budget and a ton of work. they're working on a new game at the moment.  
    this is exactly what they did with the God of War collection, they just made it HD and it was outstanding. GOW2 still looks amazing.

    @TwoOneFive:  It should be how it "works". Look at the  Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath re-release for PSN. Limited budget may be a factor, but it sure as hell wasn't with God of War.

    thats completely different bro. its a new studio with everyone there working on oddworld. that is completely different from a studio working on an all new game and deciding to re-release their first two games in the mean time.

    @TwoOneFive:  You have a point, but they didn't have to do all at once. It was their decision to do so, and that's why Ico and Shadow of the Colossus will be pretty much the same.

    Standard emulator stuff. I thought I read they upgraded the textures. No its just a straight port that impresses anyone who's never used an emulator.

    even though those aren't high res, you just have to love the f-ing scale that is shown through them. That entire game works so well at making you feel so small and that there is zero reason to believe that you could stop any of the colossi
