Day motherfucking 1. Morning gaf.

 

[jcm]

Can I really sell Ico for over $30? What's the best way to do that? I promise to turn around and buy the collection.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

And you've never read a Gravijah post.

I don't think that's humanly possible :lol

 

[DaBuddaDa]

I don't mean to be rude, but SOTC's framerate isn't an accident. Was Schindler's List black and white by accident?

Even if it wasn't an accident, it would then be a poor design choice, as having a higher framerate would have enhanced the game, while a choppy framerate degrades it.

I don't usually buy remakes but...

Not really a remake, more just a touch up/ rerelease of the original

 

[tokkun]

viral marketing for frico

Second game was Nico, so fourth game will be Shico.

:lol

That would be fucking hilarious!

 

[bone_and_sinew]

FUCK YES

If its steady, thats fine. It doesnt have to run at 60 (I know some games are built with 30fps in mind), but as long as the framerate is steady/smooth it wont hurt.

yeah, the framerate drops are completely intentional. evidence of ueda's design genius.

Watching the game emulated kind of proves this though. The animations were definitely not made for 60fps.

Couldn't that be because they knew it couldn't hold 60 fps? I don't know if that technically makes sense but there are a few games with uncapped framerates that were not made for 60 fps.

i'm not saying it should be 60fps, but there are instances of frame rate drops in the game that are a detriment to the game.

Well I hope that the collection is officially announced at TGS because it feels like forever since the rumours started. Just like StarHawk.

Day one.

I never got to play Ico (one of my cardinal gaming sins) and playing it along with a remastered SotC will be grand.

The animation is fine in the emulator. The "problem" is that it simply isn't that good anymore, Wander's anyway. The Colossi look and move just fine.

 

[Ridley327]

Bioshock's animations definitely weren't made for 60 fps (especially that awful physics renderer they use), but it sure as hell plays a lot better when it's running at that clip.

 

[McLovin]

Fuck yeah, and at that price I won't even think twice about it. Day 1.

Pretty close.

1. It's Walmart.

2. Their listing truth was thrown out the window after the MAG 2 listing.

3. It's Walmart.

 

[cool_trainer]

I'd totally get this day one, I missed out on so many games on PS2. Being a kid with no job sucks. Can't wait.

I just used the translate with Google Chrome, it seemed to work fine.

You say that like English is the one and only language seen on GAF. :lol

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Another reason besides graphics and framerate that I would like this collection is that my old ass PS2 (R.I.P. BC PS3) cannot stream the world in SotC at a constant rate. Probably due to an old, dying dvd drive/laser or something, but last time I tried to play it there was a ton of stuttering and load freezing while I just rode the horse around.

Not only Walmart, Amazon too (a month ago).

I think no one can doubt...

ice key > all

 

[gutter_trash]

so that email Sony sent us with a survey about GOW collection really paid off

 

[madmook]

No hype until confirmation of buttery smooth framerate and at least native 720p rendering for both games.

Would love to get to finish ICO, though. Got stuck on a puzzle when I had the PS2 version and never bothered to progress. Then I traded it in to GameStop.

Thanks for the warning. I don't even want to imagine what would happen to my computer if I viewed a non-English page.

what the fuck is this shit

 

[(._.)]

These are two games that definitely deserve a re-bundle with HD graphics. I still have my two original copies but I will definitely get this.

I'm pretty sure drug cartels could legally claim ownership

Acknowledged.

:lol

You can't be real.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Also: I love that sweet $39.99 price point on the Wal-Mart website. $20 each for HD Ico and SotC? Yes, please!

 

[Lord Error]

Watching the game emulated kind of proves this though. The animations were definitely not made for 60fps.

Remakes should run at 30. I mean for SotC running at constant 30 would be a big deal. The animations run fine at higher framerates also, they don't have that manual step animation system that looks like it's running at a lower framerate like Halo for PC had for example.

 

[paperheart]

Well, if it's on Wal*Mart's website, it has to be true. Nobody crush my dreams.

The Vandal link that De-mon posted links to this

Is that really an official PS twitter account. I know it's not the main one as that's simply called "Playstation".

 

[Vard]

If this doesn't officially get announced by the end of TGS, it's easily going to be the largest gaming disappointment of the year for me.

TGS is gonna have The Last Guardian unveiling and the ICO/SotC package announced, mark my words!
