Emulation still has some way to go but does give us an indication of the potential. So to kick off with, here's the ICO intro sequence captured with both software and hardware rendering - it's easy to see where the HD emulation is off-beam, but at the same time, it is equally apparent that ICO's artwork still has much more to give when liberated from the confines of standard definition. While the software renderer is a close reproduction of the original game, the GPU-accelerated version still lacks the fog effects of the original game. Both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus's technology exploits the PlayStation 2 in aspects that the emulator creators have still yet to fully implement in PCSX2 - so while the PC experience draws closer to the PS2 on both games with each successive release, it's still not the absolutely precise carbon copy you might expect. intriguing.įirst up though, a word of warning. With that in mind, we decided to check out ICO and Shadow of the Colossus running on the same emulator in order to get some idea of how the original titles would scale up to high-definition resolutions. The result? The PC emulation turned out to be very, very close indeed to the HD remixes, proving that the conversion team had replaced no original in-game art, aside from the on-screen text and button graphics. In our feature we compared the PS3 versions with the source PS2 titles, running not just on the original hardware but also on the PC via the open source PCSX2 emulator. Rather than attempt to run the game under emulation, Sony Santa Monica's original C code was essentially ported over to create the new PS3 versions. We were also intrigued by the approach that the conversion team took. ![]() Sony Santa Monica's original PS2 art worked beautifully in high definition, and the improved performance level could only be a good thing.
