I have the PS3 version, but I understand it has some soul removal issues, correct?
The PAL PS2 version has improvements over the NTSC versions right? But I assume there are 50 Hz related issues that might make that version undesirable.
What's the best version to play?

PS2 PAL version emulated with the 60hz patch

>60hz patch
I can't find it

genuinely what the FUCK where they thinking with changing the cover? Did 2000s American gamers would think the original would be too faggy or some shit?
"We can't let them think video games can be art, that's boring and slow"???????

try using a search engine next time, dumb frogposter. https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-60-fps-codes?pid=631461#pid631461

I did try. I found some other stuff, but not that thread. Thanks though.

Even now they still can't make attractive characters

>>712703642
Who even is that girl in the cover?

>>712703642
I watched some video that explained it but I don't remember the exact reason

>>712703642
I think they didn't have the other cover at the time, the burger version released early.

>>712702490 (OP)
PAL version has a 60 Hz mode built in so you're good. The game runs at 30 FPS, don't bother with some jank ass 60 FPS patch. I know it's a meme to say this, but the 30 FPS is more cinematic, I don't know how else to put it. 60 just feels wrong in this game.

Americans can't imagine an apple, I guess, they can forgive bullshot, but some art on a cover they see as a scam, that's why during gen7, covers became comicly formulaic - just a man with a weapon

>>712705264
This, the painting for the cover was literally not finished in time for the US release, so Sony threw some slop together.

>>712703642
amerimutts cannot consume anything without jewish supervision

>>712703642
They didn't. The US cover is the original.

>>712708945
There is no such shit as "original cover", zoomer, there is localization for each region

>>712703642
publishers hated american gamers even back then. this was their way of subtly insulting them. they hated that they couldn't get away with censoring games back then in the american side of the industry. nearly every game ported from japan is less censored on the ntsc version.

More games need hand holding and couch sitting mechanics.
Also this is the comfiest game to be playing in bed on my Deck right now. It doesn't get comfier than this, bros.

guhh?!!

Japan and USA used the same standard for broadcast televesion, NTSC. Hence the regions for video games are designated NTSC-J and NTSC-U respectively.

>random floor without texture filtering
Is this intentional or is my emulator shitting the bed?

The "boy pushes blocks and climbs on ropes" genre has been a disaster for gaming

You learn something new every day

Modern devs could never

That effect of the leaves' shadow on the ground. I see shadows that appear to 'pulsate' like that in real life all the time but I rarely see it replicated in video games. Talk about soulful!

>>712703642
this gets blamed on america but it's just incompetent/greedy marketing. left is perfect for the demographic that would actually buy ico, a hip young dude who wants a nice cd case on the shelf. those guys existed in America in america in the 90s and early 00s. marketers probably thought they could double dip and get kids to buy it if they dumbed down the cover and still get the core 18-25 demo.

>Did 2000s American gamers would think the original would be too faggy or some shit?
no. as much as is said about the unbelievable barbaric taste of mutts left is within the bounds of culture back then. it looks like a slick album cover no one would think twice about having on the shelf. if anything is going to get called gay it's right with the super imposed floating head.

Isn't The Last Guardian still PS4 exclusive? hence why I never played it

>>712713545
Sales on ps5 games are not good, and I feel like it'll get pushed under Sony's newer umbrella of releasing exclusives on pc

>>712713696
Isn't the new game being published by (may Allah forgive me for uttering this name) Epic Games?

Eh, considering everything that came after and the current state of demasters and demakes this wouldn't even be in the top 100 worst.
And i think it was only Shadow of Colossus that had the issues of being harder, not Ico

dear lord

I like the way this game's camera works. I wish more modern games were like this.

Americans are some of the dumbest motherfuckers on earth and that hasn’t changed in 20+ years. If anything it seems to get worse.

mutts are simply psychotic golems
unless your shit has guns or some action they are not interested
