Finally! Over 14 months ago we heard that Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were being remastered in high definition for the PlayStation 3, and we offered up some HD emulation to give you some idea of how these classic games could look on the latest Sony console. Since then, aside from a trailer or two, there hasn't really been much we could follow up on.
YouTube’s ‘reznoire’ has shared three new videos, showing three PS3 exclusive games running on the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3. These three games are The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection, Heavenly Sword and Journey.
Technically Shadow of the Colossus is a PS2 remaster on PS3 but it is interesting seeing the progress made with emulation.

Favourite video game boss fights for me are in The Shadow of the Colossus, very few other games have such good boss fight design.
Replies(1)I'd probably go with Terra's Armor from KH2 FM. The very assence of overpowered superboss, even Sephiroth can't put a finger on him... or rather it.
I thought the Storm King fight in Demon's Souls using the Storm Ruler Sword was effing awesome.
PS3 wins obviously. The draw distance for SotC is now unbelievable. The way the devs truly hoped for. Still amazing on PS2 to this day.
So beautiful, can't wait for Sept 27.
2 of the best looking games of last generation are now 2 of the best looking games of the current generation. Should have released earlier without 3D- Ueda's timeless masterpieces don't need that tacky novelty. This is the first time since selling my PS3 that I'm really wishing I had it back. Though my PC does a pretty fine job of HDing up my PS2 copies, it isn't quite the same. Saves me some dolla I guess.
This and the MGS collection will be some of the finest games of the year. Says something about the current state of things, at least in comparison to last generation.
Interesting that they didn't boot the frame-rate right up to 60fps, perhaps it was an artistic decision.
