I think this deserves its own thread - the amount of detail that went into redoing ZOE2 HD should be a new benchmark for HD remakes. The improvements go way beyond just speed-increases, and extend modifications both to improve upon the original and make the HD port more visually faithful at the same time.
Google does a decent job of translation, but here's a summary of key points:
- used the SPUs to cover for lack of vector units (I don't have any proof, but I still think this was the biggest framerate problem in original port)
- rewrote renderer from scratch
This gave them a 10x speedup compared to pre-patch, so the overhead was put into improving overall visual quality considerably (in both HD and SD resolutions).

More importantly though, I wanted to post this for all the experts that insisted ZOE2 HD framerate was broken because "transparent fillrate/bandwith limitations/PS2 magic".

The new version runs at 2x resolution, at least 4x higher resolution of particles(32x for the HUD elements), adds FSAA, improved post-processing effects AND runs at 2-3x the framerate of original port(and ostensibly, better than PS2 version did). But clearly - PS3 hw can't run PS2 fillrate effects. :P

A quanto pare han fatto un lavoro decisamente valido per la "conversione" HD di ZOE 2.

In effetti con quel che leggevo della HD collection di Silent Hill c'è di che stupirsi, in positivo.
