nice ICO pics - REALLY !

Re-read my statements.

I never said you weren\'t impressed by ICO\'S graphics.

Well, I guess that just your opinion about ICO\'s graphics, but I was blown away by the graphics

To me, that implied that you were blown away by the graphics (which you obviously stated) and that I wasn\'t. Which wasn\'t the case. Anyway, it\'s pointless, the game is beautiful, so let\'s drop it.

I don\'t think it\'s a resolution issue with ICO, I think they applied some kind of filter to the image to give it that hazy look as an artistic decision -- to increase the ethereal quality of the game.  It doesn\'t look like a normal resolution issue to me at least, not sure though.

I remember playing Ico on demo disc and I noticed lots of noticeable jaggies and low resolution or somehting like that because the pic is kind of blurry.  Also, i notice the texture on the game is probably lower than the pic shown here.  I might be wrong about the texture but I am pretty sure there are jaggies on the game.  I didn\'t know getting rid of jaggies make a big difference in graphic until I saw it.  Imagine if all of ps2 have fsaa on them, then the graphic will looks like a CG wouldn\'t it?
I notice there are jaggies on Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid 2, Jax and Daxter, and most other games.  If jaggies were eliminated, then i think we\'ll see eye candy graphics.  Also, reason why DMC and J&D have jaggies have to do with it running in interlaced mode not progressive scan.  I saw pics of them on the net with lots of scan lines (usually noticable in fast motion) and mismatch frame.

Thanks Chizzy

Thanks ppl, for the extra pics. I went to CVG and watched em. Awesome.
Anyway, please feel my pain, and the pain of all Europe gamers, because we have to wait till March 2002 for this game
About the resolution issue : I saw the DMC pal version and it was absolutely jaggie free, at least for my eyes. I think you have to intently search for them if you wanna see em. So I guess that\'s the same with Ico. Ico might indeed have a visual filter, like SH 2,
as Teiresias mentioned, which is nice.
The low resolution of the textures was just in the early code. They said the textures in the final product are definately high res
textures.
I hope Sony uses the time till the PAL release well, to improve some more on the game.
