ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Use MLAA... and other Fumito Ueda Twitter news

A graphics technology person I am not, but whenever I see things about games using acronyms like SSAA or MSAA or ROFLOL, I get super excited. So, I was excited to read at Team ICO leader Fumito Ueda's Twitter that the PS3 conversions of ICO and Shadow of the Colossues use something called "MLAA."

I have a feeling they pushed this back so that they are NGP and PS3 playable games. I hope I am right. I mean Kojima is gonna do it. Come on Sony ICO and Shadow on the go and on the couch.

Isn't MLAA standard in most recent PS3 exclusive games?

Bigbangbing4712d ago

GT5 didn't use it, U3 might not, so it's good to see this..

I hope TLG and Journey use it, it's easily the best console AA method

"it's easily the best console AA method "

that's a shame. I've messed with it a couple times on my 6970 and in the end I went back to MSAA

well I'm sure this won't be the case next-gen

Arksine4712d ago

If next generation games use deferred renderers, they will have to use either MLAA or SRAA, as MSAA isn't possible.

Also, ATI's implementation of MLAA isn't very good. Clearly if you have the horsepower that the 6970 provides then 16x MSAA is the better method.

God of War 3 was the first studio.
KillZone 3 used it, had problems with dithering hair.
LBP2 uses it.
Home uses it now.
Infamous 2 doesn't use it.
U3 looks really good I think it it might.

I'm sure it will be pretty standard if the Devs have room on SPU cycles, and 3rd parties have the time/money to implement it.

For 3rd parties
Dragons Age 2 and Portal 2 used it.

Why I'm Worried the Last Guardian Will Disappoint

Should players quell their expectations to avoid being let down?

Like ICO and SOTC before them, there is much you will unlearn during your time with the game, the formula used hasn't changed, it's a game you'll play alone, probably late at night, finish at some point in the morning and have a very fresh view point after finishing, very much like SOTC before it.

That's my gut feeling, stay away from footage, pictures, reviews etc. You won't see another game of this nature for at least another 10 years, enjoy it.

Silber2717d ago

Very well said.
Sure it can´t live up the hype around it, but anyway i think it will be a special experience like Ico or SotC.

nitus102714d ago

Personally, if you are interested in a game that falls into the genres you like, it is really best to avoid the hype and wait till it is out before looking at reviews which are written by reviewers that you can trust.

Of course, finding reviewers that you can trust may be problematic.

SegaGamer2717d ago

Don't over hype things then, just take them as they come. Nothing will ever live up to your expectations when you raise them so high.

DashArrivals2717d ago (Edited 2717d ago )

Bloody hell. Just think of it as a 3D platform environmental puzzler or something like that. That's it. Just a type of puzzle game using environments to give you challenges and a big flying dog. Don't be one of those stupid fools thinking anything else. I enjoyed No Man's Sky, because I never hyped it up to be anything it wasn't. Don't be a stupid person. That's the only advice I can give. If you even have to think about this, then you are already headed for disappointment. The seeds have been planted. You're doomed.

Favourite Video Game Boss Fights

Favourite video game boss fights for me are in The Shadow of the Colossus, very few other games have such good boss fight design.

I'd probably go with Terra's Armor from KH2 FM. The very assence of overpowered superboss, even Sephiroth can't put a finger on him... or rather it.

Tex1172991d ago

I thought the Storm King fight in Demon's Souls using the Storm Ruler Sword was effing awesome.
