SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS PS2 FRAME RATE 720P

As per the Ico video, we can run the footage at full speed at 720p owing to the simplistic nature of the visuals. Both Ico and Colossus on PS3 run at 30 frames per second.Īs for the boost to image quality, here's a special 13 minute presentation that shows the entirety of the Shadow of the Colossus intro sequence running on both PlayStation 2 (in 16:9 mode) and PS3. The good news with the PS3 version of Shadow of the Colossus is that the performance is much more consistent, with none of the sudden lurches between 30, 20 and 15 frames per second that characterised the PS2 original. As we detailed in our original article, the Japan Studio pushed the hardware to its limits - the result being a very inconsistent frame-rate. Shadow of the Colossus on PS2 saw a boost in resolution (512x448) and a significant boost in the quality of the artwork. In these comparisons, what we're trying to show is both versions running at their very best, so this mode is engaged. This is because Bluepoint has included full pixel modes that open up the screen somewhat. You may notice that the PS3 versions have considerably more 'real estate' on-screen compared to the original games. In turn, this means we can use the original audio too - another welcome bonus. In this Digital Foundry comparison video, we've matched up PS3 and PS2 versions shot-by-shot to the exact frame, and thanks to the lo-fi nature of the footage, we're able to run this video as is, without the usual need we have to slow down our comparison videos to 50 per cent speed.

Ico originally ran in a very low resolution, even by PlayStation 2 standards - 512x224 - so the jump to full 1280x720 is quite remarkable. Let's kick off with the game that stands to get the biggest image quality upgrade.

Since then, aside from a trailer or two, there hasn't really been much we could follow up on.Ī couple of weeks back, Bluepoint Games' conversions finally arrived, allowing us to finally compare the new code with the original PlayStation 2 games from Sony's Japan Studio.
