Will the PS3 be addressing the visual 'failings' then
Snazzier versions are fine but a lot is lost i find. The recent hires BG&E being an example that i found stripped of it's original atmosphere-characters exposed for their low geometry etc that you didn't see when played on a crt back then. And Halo1 of course which will feel decidely different- which is ok if you like the idea of playing different shiny versions. The trouble with Colossus is that the framerate problems worked in it's favour for me.Having it smooth will of course be what was originally intended but along with the strong design and low PS2 resolution, it's another reason why it feels the way it does- like a dream. More not meaning better
The game was written i presume for the intended 30 frames mark, so unless they've tinkered slightly, it may look a little odd
Forgetting most of what i just said, 60 frames often exposes flaws or things less apparent at their lower framerate. Animation running on a targeted 30 frames might look odd when asked to run at 60. It would be the same thing for Halo, Uncharted running at 60 etc. A lot of this game's charm is going to be robbed

I think a lot of thought went in to making the game a good experience and a good game. I don't see how you could possibly claim anything else. That it didn't conform to your expectations of what it'd be doesn't make bad.
As for all you nostalgia wankers, consider that it might just be that. You remember a game as a kickass magical adventure and then you revisit it later and maybe it just wasn't all that amazing to begin with? Or maybe it just hasn't aged that well? Happens to me all the time. Games that i remember with a certain fondness that i do still love for the memories i have of them, but could never really recommend to someone who never played them before. Let's face it, in a industry where we are still reinventing the whel constantly, most old gams will age poorly as we figure out new ways of delivering better experiences. Some won't but most will.
Ico is a pretty good example of the nostalgia thing. It was pretty damn amazing when it hit, but i'm not sure i could really recommend it today. I'll gladly play though it myself but i imagine that younger audiences won't really be as awstricken as i was my first time through that game.
... is a hd-port, hmmm
but doesn't matter, i like games with a great athmosphere like Ico and SotC :)
But ICO on the other side.... I always loved it on my PS2 :)
Tailor: What ya buying, Wandara?
Wanderer: Power armor...?
Tailor: Doesn't compute.
Or a "Tailer", like Navi (Zelda)? HEEEEEEY LISTEN!
To be honest, even if a game, or a movie, (whatever it may be), is getting old and doesn`t shine quite as brightly when placed next to something similar in caliber a decade on, we shouldn`t forget that games like these were great in their day and simply won`t dilute in awesomeness due to the individual player`s affection for how that title made them `feel` all those years before.
.........nostalgia is a powerful thing and I love it!
