NTA but the remaster's head is static and expressionless while the original is adjusted to his movement and is panting from overexertion.

The ps2 version of SOTC runs literally at 15-20fps whenever you're fighting an enemy.
The ps3 version is the same game but runs at a solid 60fps and runs at higher resolution.
There is no contest.

The newer versions of PCSX2 have smoe z-fighting but everything else can be fixed with tweaks but the closest to PS2 version in my limited tests was LRPS2(retroarch) with PGS. It looks less sharp than on PS2 but it had all the effects rendered well as far as I could tell. I only killed the first 2 bosses though.

doesn't get much better than that. here's another cool trailer from an earlier version, back when it was called Nico (ni meaning two, ico being Ico, so a sequel to Ico)
what I really love about SotC and all of Ueda's games is the simplicity. all of the games are such simple ideas but they're all executed flawlessly, no fluff or filler
it's funny how so many developers claim to worship Ueda (like Miyazaki, Yoko Taro etc) but none of them seem to understand what makes his games truly special

It's a great example of a remake that succeeds only due to be being carried by how good its source material is. The only meaningful improvement it has over the original PS2 version is the frame rate, but the tradeoffs just aren't worth it.

the 2nd pic with Wander standing near the altar says so much about how they just don't get it on any level
the Forbidden Lands are supposed to be blinding and ethereal from inside the comfort of the temple. once you get out of it the game adjusts how harsh it is, similar to how our eyes adjust to brightness in real life
not to mention it just frames the image so much better, providing contrast by putting the focus entirely on Wander rather than the pillars and mountains in the background

this one looks pretty good in the remaster

>>712733783
if I just compared the game by these two pictures I would say the remaster looks ok. In a vacuum even the character model would be fine, it just looks like a different person.
Obviously the pictures neither show animations nor dynmaic lighting.
Weird how the fur looks way better in the og. Overall it's really not a huge improvement in any way though. It looks like they had to reduce the fog so people would even see the more detailed textures and foliage.

I feel like if someone really respected Ueda's games, they wouldn't try to remake them in the first place
even if you were trying to be as respectful to the material as humanly possible it's still nobody's place to tamper with the original work, and it's disrespectful to think that you can improve upon it, especially artistically
it's ironic how so many people are fixated on games being art yet these same people are content with an entirely unrelated dev team on the other side of the world remaking the games they almost universally consider to be art. about as stupid as trying to remake the Mona Lisa

It's a game about training a dog. So the first half of the game you know the solution to a puzzle immediately but you're trying to get that big fuck to actually do what you want him to do. The frustration you feel at the game/Trico for not cooperating with you is 100% intentional but it still doesn't make for an enjoyable experience.
It gets better later on once you've established a bond with Trico but the game doesn't have much in terms of set pieces, combat or story so it always feels kind of bland.

Imagine thinking this game is pretentious. Ueda just wanted to tell a simple "boy meets girl" story about bravery and trust, plus he wanted to make a game inspired by the cinematic platformers that he liked playing on his Amiga computer (Another World, Flashback, Prince of Persia). He also wanted the game to have a distinctive vibe so that it would stand out from the crowd.
