Cool revalation I had while playing Ico

All this time I've been saying I didn't think the PS2 had a low res mode. I thought this doomed all retro releases to be filtered into high res. Well, I just got Ico, and the whole game is in honest to goodness low res, scan lines and all. :) So, there's hope for an un-molested Metal Slug 3 after all! Now, we just have to hope that Playmore decides to spend the money to make the tiles and sprites fit in the PS2's low res mode (that I am assuming is slightly different than the Neo's resolution). Unfortunatly, it is much cheaper to just make an emulator and filter it all into high res, but we'll see. At least I have hope now.

Cool, though do you really expect Playmore to utilize it?

The revelation I had while playing ICO, however, was that my Jap "Playstation the Best" re-release has all the extras that the PAL version got, including multiplayer.

There is a multi-player Ico?

Well, when you beat the Pal/Jap re-release, player 2 can control Yorda. Not exactly an incredible feature, but it's pretty fun. You can also make Yorda's subtitles be in English or Japanese (depending on which version you own), and there are supposedly some extra items. Not sure about that last one. Also, the PAL/Jap re-release has some very small modifications to a couple of game's rooms.

No problem. :)

How much of the game can possibly be left when Yorda is under human controll? The game pretty much is leading her around. I guess you still have to slide the boxes around for her and pull her up ledges and whatever...

No one listens to me. :(

Just messing with you, but this was one of my two complaints about Ico (the other being the over-used crappy fighting). And haven't you ever played Sky Gunner? The US version (maybe European as well) comes with a selectable low-res mode. I always wondered how it would be if Sony's occasional gems could be redone for one of the other systems, since the PS2 couldn't handle Ico or Sky Gunner.

Best thing about ICO = shows off potential low res mode for MS3. :evil:

Our front page says the GBA SP is backlit. You have more important things to correct.
