Bitmob sat down, screengrabber at the ready and found out, posting a ton of shots directly comparing the two versions. As you can see, the PS2 version looks a little, I don’t know, warmer, but the texture clarity on the PS3 remakes is certainly an improvement.
For reference in the shot below, the top pic is the PS2 version running on a PS3, while the bottom pic is the PS3 version running on the… PS3.

Monday, November 9, 2009 at 4:52 PMActually, there’s a huge difference. Unfortunately, the pictures above don’t display it.
The first picture, as shown directly above, has a resolution of 500x258px. If you click for the enlarged version, then the resolution is 1205x671px. The enlarged version starts to show the blur that is the PS2 version, but it actually doesn’t show the full PS3 resolution.
In the original article, they show full 1280x720px resolution shots. That’s likely what the PS3 will actually show.
The alpha levels in the PS3 captures seem a little high. Hopefully you have an option to tone down the image a little, and get better looking shadow details. At the moment, the shadowy areas look overexposed.

Sunday, November 8, 2009 at 11:50 PMThe difference is between running a PC game at 600×480 and then at 1280×720. In other words, the PS3 version is crisper, and with better anti-aliasing.

Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 2:39 AMJust to add another comparison, here’s a shot using PCSX2 PS2 emulator
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a338/ViperXtreme/gow24.jpg
1280×720 screen resolution +progressive scan, internal resolution at around 4096×4096 (i think that’s i used for this shot last time)
Not perfect though as it lacks shadow rendering and some post processing/bloom effects.
