Cool revalation I had while playing Ico

[J2d]

Ico is such a good experience, that said, I only played trough it once. I guess its one of those games that I talk and think about more than I actually play. Might pick it up another copy since it only around 27$ (and thats a bloody steal in this country *sigh*).

And haven't you ever played Sky Gunner?

Is there even a EU version out? I've looked forward to it for a while. btw, same name for the JP version?

Not sure, I was just guessing.

AFAIK.

So about Gradius III... is that not a true low-res mode?

I've never played Gradius III. Maybe someone out there with a copy and a 32 inch TV could test it out and report if there are scan lines.

I will do just that with the office copy (Japanese version) today. Will let you know. I believe it IS low-res, though.

That said, maybe I'm misunderstanding your query. If I'm not mistaken, high-res (640x480) games that run in interlaced mode still have scanlines... right?

Yes. This thread doesn't make any sense.

Yes, high res interlaced does have scan lines, but not the black solid visible unwavering scan lines that low res games have on a 32 inch screen. If you don't know what that looks like, go back and play some more 16 bit.

The PAL (EU) version of Ico came out quite a while ago. I wouldn't attempt playing it on a modded NTSC system, though. Unless you have a PAL PS2 and a reliable PAL - NTSC video conversion system, you probably won't be able to see what's going on in-game.
