drawdistance and the jaggie free visuals.
Hah, did you read the Power Unlimited preview on ICo ? It was
real good and positive.
Die nieuwe Jurjen previewdde Ico. (die gast die jaren voor allerlei Nintendo blaadjes geschreven heeft) Maar eerlijk is eerlijk. Hij gaf credits waar credits belong, en dat is in dit geval Sony 1st party dev.

Real bump-mapping is not "a bridge too far" for PS2, wait and see, most games are using it here and there (Jak & Daxter) but soon games will all have it. Anyway ICO uses bump-mapping and enviromental mapping etc etc , so what you on about?

I looked at the trees really close up, they have this really cool way of shading the leaves. the leaves\' shadow & light spots sort of "undulate" and pulse. since the foliage is overlapping, it give the illusion of a denser leaf count. wish I\'d thought of that.

Yeowza!

And here I am, saving all my money for FFX and MGS2

. Maybe I\'ll have the money after christmas (though I doubt it, if I buy the speakers I want).

Hey I think I know what you mean. I played the demo from the OPSM disk on my projection TV, and it looked very jaggy. Other PS2 games have not been so bad when displayed on this TV. Was it the demo, or my TV that produced that? If the jaggies were there, wouldn\'t they be visible in these screenshots? No way to hide them in a screenshot. I\'m thinking it might have been the demo that was the problem.

The jampack demo, OPSM disc, and the finalized game suffered the same transition for me, so I\'d have to guess that it is probably not the demo in your case. Regardless, I hope that any following sequel of ICO will make the jump to a higher res, at least for our sake.

Absolutely stunning and incredible! I had no idea it looks THIS good. At first I thought the game is not for me, now I must have it!

More ICO screens!!

« **Reply #26 on:** November 07, 2001, 10:24:52 AM »

I\'d hate to burst everyone\'s bubble here, but ICO does not look that good. The game is phenomenal, and it looks beautiful, but not in the clarity those pictures show. Don\'t let that change your mind however, ICO is stunning.

Well, I guess that just your opinion about ICO\'s graphics, but I was blown away by the graphics, they\'re amazing, it\'s a very awe-inspiring game. It really is a beautiful game when you really get to look at it.The draw-distance is amazing aswell.

Re-read my statements.

I never said I wasn\'t impressed by ICO\'s graphics. I said they don\'t look as good/clear as those screenshots. Those shots have no aliasing artifacts whatsoever, and that\'s not the case with the PS2.
