Remember when Jim Ryan said "who would want to play this" (GT1 next to the graphics of GT6/7)?
They are using PS3 or PC version.
PS2 version is "last gen version", it has different 2D foliage. PS3/PC "next gen" version has 3D foliage like on your screenshots.
Sony/SE is lying.
Then its the PC version, I posted the PS3 version and I actually booted it up and it looks like shit, this PS2 emulated one actually looks better
PS3
PS5 - PS2 Classics
That ain't no comparison or anything on the PS3 version.
It actually looks like that
I agree, it's false advertising.This is PC version (4K/120) using last gen and next gen assets:
PS2
X360/PS3
PS2
X360/PS3
Vs Sony screenshots on PSN
Yeah it's not PS3 version but they are using version of the game with PS3/360/PC assets and game on PSN is last gen PS2 version.
They are using PC version in 4K in their screenshots. Talk about false advertising, haha.

As I've been saying all along, it's the exact same 4x resolution with PP AA as all the ps2 classics have on ps4 to date. Eg. Also the same difference as comparing Jak remaster to emulated version.
It's been done before with some games (see Locoroco, Parappa, PataPon, Ace Combat 5 etc. on PS4) but that's really going into realm of modified vs. preserved.
IMO these jut reaffirm that PS2 version was the right choice - but indeed wish they'd give more image-quality/resolution options to PS5 users at least. It'd be an easy pick if PS5 version had 4xMSAA and/or ran at 16x instead of 4x res.
If you're seriously itching to play it on real hardware, just get a free mcboot memory card off Amazon and burn it to a DVD. Easy day.
Look at my previous post, I now know it not and it actually rendered in HDish
If you zoom on Lara's face on the top pic and see the blocksactually looks better

That ain't no compression or anything on the PS3 version.
It actually looks like that
No, I booted up the PS3 version today

Reverse searching one of the PSN screenshots lead me to this website, seem like all of them were taken from here:

But no matter the resolution, its the original version, without dropping effects that remasters lost in transition. Eg: those full-screen postprocessing effects in Sly are part of what original PS2 was supposed to look like whether people like it or not
Quinqux anti aliasing is to blame on PS3.Did they stealth update it today or something
Either way after booting up the PS3 version it does actually look better then that.
That version is blurry as fuck with some strange boxy rendering going on.
Maybe it actually the games engine, it was always blurry
O wow they actually added a widescreen hack? Good!That's a rather good video that digs deep into the benefits and shortcomings of the emulated PS2 games. Thanks for posting that.
I've been playing Sly Cooper on a standard PS4, and I was wondering why the "enhancements" were turned off by default. I noticed that turning on "enhancements" added the handy rewind feature found in the emulated PS1 and PSP games. This video also pointed out that on PS4 (but not on PS5), there is an impact to frame rate while the "enhancements" are enabled. I didn't notice this while I was playing, but then again I wasn't really looking out for it, and whatever drop there was in frame rate didn't impact my gameplay. I'll have to check this out more closey next time I fire up the game.
The emulator does have some other great "quality of life" benefits. Aside from the aforementioned rewind, you've got instantaneous "quick save" at any point in the game, with at least seven save slots (that I could see on the menu), and some video filter options that seem a bit better than the filters that their previous PS1/PSP emulators offered. But, now there's another excellent added feature that's quickly become one of my favorites:
CUSTOM CONTROL MAPPING!
Heck yeah! This feature comes in very handy for Sly Cooper. One of my first thoughts when playing was "Man, I wish I could reverse the behavior of the horizontal axis on the right analog stick for camera control", since the game wasn't programmed with this ability, Well, the original game didn't have it, but this emulator certainly does! Check out the video from 6:30 to 7:56 for more details. They've even conveniently added this as an option in the emulator interface. Just select "Presets", and you'll see a screen (shown at 7:42 in the video) with options to quickly invert any of the axes on either of the analog sticks.
I hear you, but the game on PS3 wasn't emulating the PS2 game. It was an upgraded port that was rebuilt from the ground up for PS3, or as folks like to call it in the common vernacular, a "remaster". They improved some stuff in the process, including cleaning up or redrawing some of the textures, and adding widescreen support. Here's an old article from PlayStation.Blog about the enhancements that went into the PS3 version:
First Look: The Sly Collection in HD for PS3
Hi there, My name is Glen Egan, I am the President of Sanzaru Games, a Foster City, CA based independent video-game studio. We are very hard at work bringing The Sly Collection to the PS3 and I just wanted to use this brief post to tell everyone a little bit about our studio and what’s [...]
On that note, I saw a couple of complaints here about the lack of widescreen support, but that wasn't in the original PS2 game, which is what this release is emulating. There's no easy way for them to add proper widescreen to the existing PS2 game without heavily reprogramming the game. They'd have to analyze each scene, and decide how the scene should be properly framed. This was accomplished on the PS3 version because that was a ground-up rewrite, not merely pouring existing code into an emulator.
For those who need a quick visual comparison (and haven't bothered to read the PS.Biog article linked above), see these photos from the PS.Blog article:
PS2:
PS3:
True.
If someone wants the hi-res textures and widescreen support of the PS3 game on the PS4/PS5, then they won't find it here. They can either stream the PS3 version on PS Plus Premium, or keep their fingers crossed and hope that Sony maybe someday emulates or does a ground-up port of the PS3 version (rather than the PS2 version, which is what this product is based on).
It's fucking horrible, what made them think it was a good idea
So the game got a update today
It looks better imo but maybe I'm imagining it
Anyway I took some captures for you guys to judge
It's still using 2x msaa
Also on the subject NXgamer did an analysis, this before todays update but you'll be surprised what he found.
As I said I didn't have Sly but I downloaded and took some shots so judge for yourself
For most it’s knowing how little effort and processing power it takes to render at higher resolutions when emulating a game like this. Most phones are more than capable, let alone the most powerful gaming console ever produced. No one is asking Hellblade 2 run at 120fps on a Wii here. This does not require a technical miracle to pull off. It’s just stubborn and old fashioned project management. Imagine striking out in tee ball.
