Hexa Drive explains the patch process and shows their dedication to restore the original performance as much as possible, by even rebuilding the rendering engine from scratch, eventually achieving 1080p 60fps.
This is google translated Japanese article, mostly understandable and also many interesting before/after pictures
"Sony was already no stranger to remasters during the previous generation. They took some classic games, bumped them up from 480i to 720p and put them in a collection. Jak & Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and Sly Cooper all got excellent trilogy collections on the PlayStation 3. These brought hours of great gameplay and entertaining worlds to gamers for a fraction of their original cost. But there was one Japanese developer that blew the others out of the water." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
“Sure, when looking at the grand scheme of the PlayStation 3’s 7 year life-cycle”
PS3 lived on for more than 7 years
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection offered full 1080p resolution on PS3 6 years before either Okami HD and ZoE HD hit the scene.
The latest episode of Patched explores the personal gaming history of regular Patched host Damo.

''As April rolls on, and the massive games creep forward, a number of last years hits drop in price. While it may of felt the harsh sting of some salty individuals, and the review of a salt/conflicted/hypocritical Polygon writer, Bayonetta 2 is a utter steal at £22.80.''
Bayonetta 2 is a masterpiece. Exclusives are the lifeblood of any platform not multiplats, which is why the PS3 was my system of choice last gen. The original Wii gave me equal enjoyment in that regard in addition to hosting a plethora of gems in the mid-tier catagory like Zack & Wiki and Okami.
WHAT??? THEY UPPED THE FRAMERATE 'AND' MADE IT FULL 1080P FROM IT'S ORIGINAL 720P??? BEST PATCH EVER!!!!!
BTW, the article also confirms that ZoE1 is getting the same treatment next. :D
