Tomb Raider Legend has no shadow's for the PS4/PS5 version. But are present in the Original PS2 release. Its not an emulation issue, since they work fine on PCSX2 as well.
It is an emulation issue since it isn't appearing on PS4 and PS5. The game code includes the shadow geometry, and it isn't rendered properly in the PS Classics emulation on PS4/PS5 yet. This might be improved over time with the developer handling these backward compatible ports is Implicit Conversions, and they do update a lot of these titles over time.
@@VariantAEC That's like the only "major" issue/ I wonder why that's missing, and hope it gets fixed considering how otherwise close this game comes to emulating the original (but improved) experience. Just that and optional "widescreen".
The PC version also have issues drawing shadows when full screen anti-aliasing is enabled. Maybe it's an engine issue here, since according to IGN MSAA is active here in the PS5 version. PCSX2 also don't implement MSAA. Guess they haven't properly thought about that possibility given that consoles that weren't powerfull enough to handle MSAA were the target. On the other hand, Lara's shadow in the original PS2 release isn't really good to begin with, with hard edges, no (simulated) penumbra, and general lack of precision and perspective correctness common to that time. I would stick to the PC version if it hadn't had its own issues where Lara's body textures show some annoying artefacts.
4:11 On the lampy you can see a ghosting effect which is a result of the increased resolution, Legends bloom effects don't scale properly with higher than native rendering resolution even on PC emulators like PCSX2.

That's very unlikely. They will only bring the ones that were released. At most, maybe something like a PS2 game with English text but was never released on US being finally made available on US.
Top tier video here IGN. Authentic comparisons, where the original hardware AND setup is used, are the best way to do these videos. As are covering the multiple main releases of the games (in this game's case: PS2, PS3 Remaster, and PS4/5 Emulation). Only two things that weren't shown that I wanted to see was how "widescreen" enabled (whether from PS2 or PS4/5) looked side by side to "widescreen" disabled (PS2 ofc). As some of us more informed gamers know, a lot of these games that have claimed "widescreen" was never true/proper widescreen but instead a zoomed-in effect. The second thing was a *visual* comparison of the PS4 emulation vs PS5 emulation, to have a definitive answer on whether one is notably worst/better than the other. Notable negatives (note to self) - Missing shadows - Forced (fake) "Widescreen" - Xbox has higher framerate (though PS4/5's is much better than PS2/PS3R's). Overall these emulation sounds like the best version (or second if including Xbox series?) Glad to know that and that the PS3 Remaster wasn't actually great like I assumed it'd be. If Anniversary and Underworld receive the same quality treatment, it's a must-action to get a trilo'fied (replacement) physical version of them. I hope yall did this type of video for the latest emulated Jak games (especially Daxter and now The Precursor Legacy).
Yes, the PS3 version eliminated the option to deactivate Next Generation content, but because it is based on the x360 version, both have it and cannot be deactivated, and in all but these versions, it is still in the game in the selection menu when you choose a suit, the winter one without a jacket shows you its version without Next gen model.
@windy3935 the Classic versions of ps2 and Xbox originals are great but without a doubt the best version is the pc one since the original textures look better
idk why df is so negative on this, it's a pretty solid enhancement, and ps2 is not easy to emulate regardless of platform, pcsx2 has been trying this for 20+ years now and even it doesn't have tomb raider legend perfect either
Sony needs to just put the chips that allowed the original PS3 aka PlayStation 3 to emulate PS1 and PS2 games into the PS5. That way the PS5 can emulate PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games in addition to being able to play PS5 games!
@@H53. Well, it depends. There's the ability to emulate being able to load a disc and play the game which in that case are PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 discs in a PS5. The other kind of emulation is the ability to play digital games of PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 and PS5 games in the console. Physical vs Digital is where I'm going at. Of course, they might have to raise the price of the PS5 if they're gonna make the chip that enables the backwards compatible disc happen.
Been playing PS2 emulation on Xbox One dev mode for like 5 years now Xbox Series has 98% compatibilty looks better then this and can go up 4k and can use crt shaders so you get a native look with 4k
I feel a 2x resolutión boost is waaaay too conservative, 3x or 4x should have been no issue at all at the very least on PS5, specially given the price.
@@Mickey_Milos it's emulated not ported. The game not run on native hardware. It's much easier than porting a game. It's either budged issue or being lazy.
Are Anniversary and Underworld also going to be on PS5? Legend is on sale on the PlayStation Store right now but I don't know whether to buy it or not. If Anniversary and Underworld aren't going to be on PS5, I don't want to only have Legend but if they do release Anniversary and Underworld, I don't want to have missed out on my chance to get Legend at a cheaper price.
Wow the ps3 version looks noticeably better than the ps5 version you can tell they literally just ported the ps2 version to ps5 and claimed it was the ps5 version just for sales !
Multiplatform games are easy to emulate but the real deal is the exclusive ps2 games like sh2, gow2, mgs3, sotc those games used some unique graphical effects that can't be replicated in the ps5 due to the complex and custome ps2 hardware unlike the ps5 which is just a mid range pc disguised as a console , not to mention even a high end pc struggles with ps2 exclusives emulation and that says alot
