In-Depth Upscaling Comparison

Gameswank have provided a very good upscaling comparison for the PS3, using roll-over for the images. This is the definitive upscaling comparison.

With the PS3 1.80 firmware update, one long awaited feature has finally arrived: the ability to upscale PS1, PS2 games, and DVD's. This now places the PS3 right at the top of HD players. With this feature nothing is holding back the PS3 from being the ultimate Blu-ray player; but also from making our much loved classic games look better than ever before.

Follow the link for the images, the results are quite dramatic.

I think this is better than the forum posts....as all the images are there with roll-over to see the difference. :)

closedxxx6928d ago (Edited 6928d ago )

And this is just a beautiful thing. Those screengrab comparisons are very telling. That's quite a difference.
The PS3 is just getting all kinds of firmware shoved up it's wahoo. If Blu Ray ends up winning this ridiculous format war, the PS3 is hands-down the way to go for a Blu ray player.
And rumor has it they will be making some games for it too!

DrWan6928d ago

is the color ajustable?? solid snake is smoother but the color is duller,did u guys notice?? anyway to adjust that or no

sticky doja6928d ago

Some of the upscaling makes the games look better, and then again some of them just seem to make the games look blurry. This could be due to differences in the quality of the pictures taken but I really feel some of them look a little worse. Is there an option to turn off the upscaling if I was playing a game and didn't like the way it made it look?

LSDARBY6928d ago

Yeah you can turn it off under game settings. But not whilst playing a game. If we had in-game XMB you probably would be able to. Im looking at you Sony

techie6928d ago

the first images have smoothing turned on....latter JUST the upscaling.

closedxxx6928d ago

And let's hope that SONY pushes a firmware update that will enable an in-game XMB, much like the Xbox360s in-game dashboard acccess side menu

Some are more drastic then others but, all the upscales look good. Gran Turismo looks awesome.

DrWan6928d ago

GT4 image was still pretty amazing with color quality intact.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle13d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde20d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy20d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga21d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199221d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga20d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman20d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box21d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion20d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7221d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7521d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit21d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14921d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7721d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
