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 shadows, and the motion blur and depth of field effects. Of course, there are still some graphical glitches due to the massive resolution upscale, but the game looks absolutely breathtaking most of the time.

NOTE: I used the "Royal Flush" costume on Heather in most of the cutscenes because of its superior texture resolution (compared to the jacket that she always uses, which looks pretty blurry from the near distance).
