"Walmart is taking pre-orders for a box set of popular Playstation 2 action games ICO and Shadow of the Colossus for the Playstation 3 for just under $40.

While Sony has yet to announce such a bundle, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida told IGN back in June that they are "looking to continue to do these HD conversions" following in the footsteps of God of War and Sly collections for the PS3.

GIRLY SQUEAL!!!!!!!!! then DIES

I still need to get my hands on a copy of Ico and SotC for my PS2, but they're not quite easy to come by cheap. I've heard great things about both games though.

 

Together with the Sly games, these are the PS2 games I still really want to play I hope Sony keeps making these. They may be old games, but if they're cheap, run great in HD, include trophies and support things like 3DTV and PlayStation Move, it's great value.

 

this ^^

 

they stopped supporting it because the PS2 compatibility required a different processor or something, and drove the production prices way up, so they took out the processor to save money

 

@Terminator02

I partially disagree with your assertion. Perhaps removing the PS2 processor lowered production costs somewhat, but I thought the intention was to force the consumer to buy more PS3 software, which wasn't selling well at the time. Why else would the PS3 possess backwards compatibility for the first generation, and not the second? This is to say nothing of the Linux capability they've removed in firmware updates, as opposed to hardware revisions. The PS3's vast functionality at launch is being incrementally taken away in exchange for consumer exploitation.

That having been said, I wonder what these HD versions will look like.

 

ICO is literally the most boring game ever created.

 

I WISH I HAD A GOD DAMNED PS3!!!!!



Oh wait... PS2 emu

 

Holy shit! Hope it comes out for my region...

 

What point is that? That companies have no right to remove features from products if it means making the consoles cheaper to manufacture and can sell at a cheaper price thereby saving the consumer money? Or that you can't read (You keep saying 'if' it's in HD, when the topic clearly states these are HD remakes. Akin to the God of War and Sly Cooper bundles.)
