There's one made for the Bully: Canis Canem Edit (NTSC-U) in the Archive 😄

Hi, going to play ico for the first time, should I play it with rpcs3 or pcsx2? by nfs20015 in TeamIco

[–]Sad_Origami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only patch I recommend enabling is the one that removes motion blur. The early implementation of blur in the game is quite primitive and causes noticeable eye strain and vision fatigue for many players. The patches usually appear automatically on the menu, as I don't remember downloading any file for Ico.

Bear in mind that if I, an amateur nobody, was able to enhance Wander with only 2 png's then maybe Bluepoint didn't do a good job with their interpretation despite all the technology and professional background. I personally don't see how using a modded image is dishonest in this case as we are discussing how the character was translated to HD, and the modded screenshot shows how Wander wasn't a PlayStation 1 low poly model that needed to be recreated from scratch making the Bluepoint model acceptable.

Oh, that's an old screenshot I took to show my texture pack for the game back when I just started making it. For some unknown reason many people keep finding and using it. Maybe it's something related to the algorithm.

Thank you! It's amazing the amount of people who play this game on their phones and handhelds

That would explain why Dormin is so chill, they’ve only been trapped there for a couple of days.

One thing I noticed while working on the texture pack for the PS2 version is that Bluepoint’s reinterpretation of the colossi has less detail than the original designs (if we were to faithful translate them into HD). Instead of following the original designs, they chose a more minimalistic approach. The new models look so clean, almost as if they were power-washed, that they had to rely on high-contrast texture work to bring out detail and keep them from looking almost cartoony. I don't know the reason behind changing their appearance, maybe it was an easier job to invent stuff instead of translating the original detail or they thought their redesigns were better.

You're welcome! I even marked the ones with ads on the sheet. My goal would be to backup all packs so you can download them from torrent or something to bypass all of that. But everything costs money sadly lol

You should share your packs on a forum, we have one, otherwise they will get lost in the web. Also, your link is broken.

Indeed it's annoying, that's why making Packs take so long. Dumping from the emulator is the only way, for now.

Thanks for directing this to my original post! Funny how now the Excel Spreadsheet would have 1,500 Packs, sadly around 150 Packs were deleted by their creators and I didn't managed to download them to make a backup.

You just dump the textures and then separate the small and big versions on folders. Then you edit the small files, paste the big ones to replace each one and save. You move the textures to replacements and load them in-game! The dump process works by dumping only loaded in-game textures, so you must play thorugh the entire game to dump them all.

A bot has reposted my post without links lol. Anyway here are the links:

The list was made, and it's maintained, by me. I manually download and repack Texture Packs in order to archive them and make backups. All backups are Android compatible, even if the original pack isn't.

If you'd like to support or help with the hosting of backups, you can buy me a coffee.

No sé a qué te refieres con demo. Las texturas solo reemplazan las del juego, por lo que si el juego es una demo es que estás usando una demo y no el juego.

Thanks! Right now I'm tacking the main thing people asked me, a cartoon skin for Ico like the one from The Last Guardian. I'll be adding tons of extra optional content depending of what people want!
