Every generation, developers always say that they have used up all of the consoles resources. And the graphics always get better gradually towards the end of the gen. It's bullshit. MGS4 hasn't used Cell to it's limit at all.

Cell is overrated for graphics processing.  Sony mothership sold the Cell tech to Toshiba, their former HD format rivals.  That sez something.

Aren't the graphics based on Kojima's interest in equaling or surpassing Gears of Wars' graphics? So basically he's saying MGS4 looks worse than GoW?

a platform much, much closer to the feature set and gfx programming model employed during the initial proofing and development of the game...??? ??? ???

The gap between a high end PC and PS3/360 is pretty astonishing. 

I'm still amazed sometimes at how some games can run at 60fps,4xAA, w/ better textures & effects at greater than 1080P on my PC while they can barely run at 30fps/720P on consoles. 

Technically, both "next-gen" consoles are pretty disappointing but even more so with the PS3.  Launching 1 yr later, the PS3 should have at least had a better GPU and more ram than the 360 but it had neither. 

The low amounts of ram in the 360/PS3 are probably the biggest reason why new games still aren't much more than prettified versions of stuff that we've been playing for the last few years.   

Of course it would sell worse than Crysis. lol PC games

Maybe but millions of people would have still played it on their PCs.

i don't know who 'someone' is, but there are no exclusive ps3 games that render at substantially less than 720p. ratchet runs at 1280x704 or something. those lower resolutions are mainly used to squeeze the framebuffer into the 360's edram, and afaik the benefits are marginal on ps3. in any case i'd better not see your pink ass bashing mgs4 after defending halo 3, which has got the absolute worst image quality of any major game this gen

To be fair it took how long to ACTUALLY max out the PS2?

I think the PS2 got close to being maxed out around Jak 2, R&C 2,etc which was about 3 yrs after launch.  PS2 games generally all look about that goodl after that. 

The graphical improvements during the PS2 era really weren't as large as people believed.  It's just that 3D was only in its 2nd gen and many developers still were learning how to do 3d graphics properly.

For devs that already know what they were doing, they weren't able to squeeze much more performance of the PS2 than they did early on. 

Look at Madden, MGS2, SH2, DMC, as examples.  Their sequels might have looked better but the improvements were minor at best.

I actually think that FF10 looks better than FF12.  But I beat 10 while only playing 12 for 2 hrs so that might not be a fair comparison.  From what I played of 12, it just seemed really bland and lifeness.
Also the framerate was worse in 12.  

GOW2 did look better than GOW1 but it also had way more tearing.  Is it really an improvement when you have to sacrifice image quality in order to get better graphical effects?

So you don't agree that Jak and R&C didn't improve much after the 2nd games in the series?  What would you say looked better in the sequels? 

This isn't GAF so don't worry about screenshot wars.  I don't do that kinda stuff anyways.

Yeah, but are they that much better looking than the best looking games that were released around the middle of the PS2's lifespan?  

I guess what I'm saying is that the average PS2 game improved greatly until the end but not so much for the top tier games.

When did I say I didn't play SC3?  I just told Lyte that I haven't tried SC2 or 3 upscaled on the PS3.

I just think that SC2 in 720P on the Xbox was the best looking SC of last gen.  2x pixels make a huge difference.

IGN made the same mistake with Sega Rally Revo.  It's quite understandable if IGN was mistaken about MGO as well.

Unless you're the type of PC gamer that plays with FRAPs on all the time, it isn't easy to tell between 30fps and 60fps on a game with a 3rd person view,especially if that 30fps is steady with no slowdowns.

VC games are scattered across the menu, you have Donkey Kong Country 1 channel, DKC2 channel, Sonic channel...etc...

they should have VC system channels, not games, like a SNES channel (under it you can find all your SNES games), Genesis Channel, a NES and so on...
