I chose some of the best looking cutscenes for showing how good this game can look on a big screen with the latest version of PCSX2. I used the new blending unit feature on the OpenGL hardware renderer to properly emulate the postprocessing effects. Of course, there are still some graphical glitches due to the massive resolution upscale, but the game looks amazing most of the time.
