Sometimes taking a classic and re-releasing it in a HD remake can be considered to be a bit of a cash grab. But when you take two wonderful PS2 games and make them even more special with upgraded visuals, as was the case with ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection — or ICO HD — then it's really impossible to complain.
It looks like another way to enjoy this re-release is on the way to Vita, meanwhile, courtesy of a new patch coming to the PS3 title. Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida recently tweeted that he was playing the title through Remote Play, and that it's not far away.
I was play testing ICO HD Remote Play on PS Vita. We are almost ready with a patch. Beautiful on OLED. More info soon.
We imagine the visuals look rather special on the Vita screen, so this may be one patch with a download time worth enduring.

So this is how it's going to be?
Select games that Sony want people playing over RP will get the ability.
I assume since it's 'beautiful on OLED' then the patch is going to vastly improve over standard Remote Play performance- since with the highest settings, nothing ever really streams looking 'beautiful'.
This to me is pretty good news. At least Remote Play isn't dead. Sony has said from the very beginning that it is up to the individual developers/publishers to make a patch for current games to make them remote playable. So it would be a reasonable thing to assume that lots of first party games will get this treatment. Right, Sony?
