The HD game improvement was very good I thought - but the cutscenes were disappointing.  In ICO/SOTC cutscenes were all in-game engine vs actual pre-rendered though, correct?  So unless I'm wrong I'm assuming that the cutscenes would be generated in-engine again using HD assets.

With GoW1 and 2 I thought the cutscenes were actually pre-rendered using assets and they had been lazy in simply using them again without upgrading them.

As a non-ps2 owner i support this motion.

Day one.

same! hahaha

Never played ICO (sadly). SOC I played and LOVED

You are wrong. In GoW1 and 2 neither the pre-rendered nor the in-game cutscenes were upscaled, which led to some extremely hideous in-game cutscenes.

lol if this is true HELL YEAH! :D Sony is on a roll

I think you missundertood me.  I know the cutscenes look bad I've played the collection.  ButI thought they were all pre-rendered (i.e. Sony didn't bother re-rendering the cutscenes) I didn't realise some where in-game.  Why would those be in a different resolution to the HD in-game assets?

I haven't played right through yet but what I've played I got the impression it was 720p HD in-game with old cut-scenes straight from the PS2 version (hence the gap in looks).

With ICO / SOTC I believe there is no pre-rendering - i.e. cutscenes were played out scripted in real time in the engine, hence they should look just like the in-game at HD resolution (assuming they even release the titles in HD of course).  They did letterbox cut-scenes, and I believe used the drop in on-screen image size to boost the graphics look for the cut-scene moments, but I doubt that should make much difference.

But if there were in-game cut-scenes in GoW collection that were in different resolution then I'm stumped.  I have no idea why you would have HD assets yet render using the engine in a lower resolution for cut-scenes.

Guys, I'm 1000% CERTAIN We'll be getting the Team ICO collection next year. In the last Zipper podcast when they were talking about fan feedback and letting SONY know what the costumers want they mentioned how the GoW Collection only exist because of the GoW3 Survey about the deluxe edition. So many people picked and posted about how they wanted GoW1 and 2 being part of the package so SONY green lit the project.

SONY knows how so many gamers want X-game chat and it's number 1 on blog.share. Team ICO collection is NUMBER 5 and with more than half the votes of X-Game Chat. No way SONY could ignored this. It's a no-brainer.

oh please oh please oh please
