I still wish they would've included the spider colossus that got cut. It looked sick.

Should have been this instead of that horsey thing. 4? I think.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

i can't fucking wait to see those ueda interviews and the tlg footage.

 

[slider]

I've held of SotC for so long cos I knew this collection was coming. It will be mine.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

My first Autumn purchase, I am so hyped!

 

[sublimit]

Awesome OT

I never got the chance to play these games, too bad I can't play them now as they need much time and I really don't have that much time these days.

Ico doesn't need that much time.

ICO is about 4-5 hours and Shadow of the Colossus 5-7.

 

[makingmusic476]

They actually run in 1080p? :O

 

[StuBurns]

They actually run in 1080p? :O

Ico does, SotC doesn't.

 

[darkwing]

playing sotc in 3D is going to be awesome

 

[Grisby]

Yay, it's been a while since I played ICO.

 

[alr1ght]

I envy all you lucky bastards that get to play these for the first time.

 

[badcrumble]

I like that some of the trophies are actually challenging to get! Very nice.

 

[Magnus]

I think this was...the very first (?) HD collection there was a huge positive buzz about. Right? At least, it was the first one I personally had a huge attachment to, and I just plain can't wait, most particularly for Shadow of the Colossus in HD at a locked framerate, and ICO in widescreen. Outstanding!

 

[Danielsan]

I envy all you lucky bastards that get to play these for the first time.

I would pay a lot of money to have my memory wiped so that I can play SotC again for the first time.

 

[makingmusic476]

Ico does, SotC doesn't.

It's upscaled to 1080p, and still better than 720p.

Didn't GT5 also run in 960x1080? Or was it 1024x1080?

 

[Takuya]

Ico does, SotC doesn't.

According to the OP they both run at 1080p, but only ICO runs at FULL HD 1920x1080.

 

[StuBurns]

It's upscaled to 1080p, and still better than 720p.

Well it introduces slow down, so I would argue it's not better despite the resonable IQ boost.

i think the only HD collections that don't have positive buzz are the Ubisoft ones

 

[Cruzader]

i dont like the trophies killing all the atmosphere of the game.

I'm sure you playing but disable trophies on xmb?

[Phonomezer]

Never played the originals, so I will be getting this Day 1!

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Can't wait to play them.

I want to see if they're overrated or genuinely great. I know people will quote this and say genuinely great, so don't bother I have my doubts and I want to try them for myself!

 

[Hyuga]

The Last Guardian 2 in 2053!

;_;

I hope we will see two games from him this generation.

 

[krYlon]

*bow* indeed.

These masterpieces are peerless.

They are games for the soul

 

[AEREC]

Will be pre-ordering as soon as I get my $20 amazon credit from Gears3. Cant wait to play this as I have never finished either of them.

ICO: i got stuck at a point and never figured it out (i refuse to look it up online either)...hopefully that wont happen this time around.

SotC: I could never get very far in the game because the framerate was too unbearable.

 

[Dr. Malik]

Going to play these for the first time.

 

[Ostinatto]

I'm sure you playing but disable trophies on xmb?

didnt know that

ps3 can disable trophies???

OMG

 

[WillyFive]

Wow at that European box art.

It's almost offensive.

 

[Phonomezer]

;_;

lol

 

[toythatkills]

I want that limited edition Japanese box more than I want my actual life.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

It's upscaled to 1080p, and still better than 720p.

Didn't GT5 also run in 960x1080? Or was it 1024x1080?

GT5 is 1280x1080. About 400,000 pixels above 720p.

 

[krYlon]

I just want to see one

 

[MrCookiepants]

Right. That's the same tacky shit Ubisoft uses for their crappy collections. Makes me less excite to buy (but I still will).

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Still hate that ugly ass filter on Ico honestly.
Seems like such a cheap way of communicating a 'dream-like' atmosphere.

 

[anddo0]

Two of the best ever in hd. Team ICO you have my money (again). I won't have my copy until the 28th. But it'll be worth it.

 

[IrishNinja]

It was an accident. I already Apologized to A1r, when I saw the reviews I thought he was going for a minimum type approach and letting the content speak for itself.

ah, good on you - its cool, i was just bustin' balls.

nice. grabbing this now, thanks man!

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

My existence is ready.

 

[boingball]

Great OT, getting hyped or this. Played and loved both on the PS2 when they came out.

 

[Philanthropist]

GT5 is 1280x1080. About 400,000 pixels above 720p.

Or 50% more pixels than 720p.

SotC's 1080p mode pushes 12.5% more pixels, although it seems it makes the framerate stutter from time to time. 720p mode is smooth.

 

[Slime]

I can't believe my PS3 YLOD'd on me this effing close to release. FML.

Spoiler

Still can't wait.

 

[Interstellar]

The European box has the reversible cover too, right? If not, Custom cover art it is. Nice OP.

 

[∀ Narayan]

I still wish they would've included the spider colossus that got cut. It looked sick.

If by "sick" you mean "SCARY AS FUCK KILL IT NOW!", then I agree. A lot of the colossi that they cut from the game have given me nightmares. Especially that worm one. (I think it's a worm?)

Have you guys ever had dreams based off of Wander and the Colossus? Good fucking night, they are scary as Hell.

Fucking hell, it's ICO and SOTC, games with some of the most amazing art direction ever.

STOP TALKING ABOUT PIXELS!

Some people care about this stuff a lot. If it's something you don't really care for, you should really keep your negative statements to yourself.

Well yeah, spiders scare the shit out of me too man. I like spiders as enemies in games since I get to kill them . Anytime an enemy is imposing/intimidating/scary in gaming, it makes that part of the game a lot better. I like being intimidated/scared by enemies, it adds a psychological layer to the challenge of beating them.

 

[dragonflys545]

I can't freaking wait to pick this up!!!

I'm not scared of spiders, but that colossi is creepy looking.

These games would look awesome if they re-released them on SNES. It's just not important. If you care about this stuff a lot, you're wrong to.

It's not even relevant. They are what they are. It's not like you have some other version to choose from. Just appreciate the games for what they are.
