The God of War: Collection was an amazing compilation of two classic PlayStation 2 games. However, they didn’t need the remastering treatment like some other games. If you’d ask me: “Which game would you like to see in HD and a steady 60 FPS?” I would have answered with Shadow of the Colossus.
I had forgotten how poorly that game ran. 15 – 20 FPS? Horrendous.
With rumors of a Team Ico Collection gaining momentum, Digital Foundry decided to run Shadow of Colossus at 720p and 30 FPS via PS2 emulation to see how it may turn out. The results were amazing to say the least.
I’ve never played the Ico and I would love to replay Shadow of Colossus. So make this compilation a reality, Sony.
