Most realistic ingame graphic you can find
2004-05-19, 10:42 PM #81
Maybe not realistic or as pretty as Farcry, but I feel that Max Payne 2 at least deserves an honourable mention.

Pity that most of it's environments are so drab. Still, it has tasty particle effects and textures, it looks quite beautiful in motion, and it doesn't even require a monster of a machine to run well.

Spork, take a look at this.

And yeah, compared to the PS2 and the Gamecube the Xbox is downright photorealistic - even in a first gen title like Halo. Just in terms of hardware, my PS2 looks like complete crap on my HDTV and the Gamecube - while sharp and otherwise beautiful - still runs at 420p. The Xbox is the only console that can even make a claim to run at HDTV resolutions (720p) and the simple fact that it has the graphics pushing power to do so is pretty indicative of how much more that console can do than the competition.

You have no clue what your talking about. First off, you need component cables if you want your PS2 to look good on an HDTV. I have a 50 inch 16:9 aspect HDTV, and you should see gamse like Jak 2 or MGS. They sure as helld on't look like crap. Component cables are so far superior to composite. Secondly, there are PS2 games that support 720p, get you're face straights. Not to mention, 720p isn't really TRUE HD. 1080i is true HD.

And its 480p, not 420.


And you think Halo is realistic? I don't see how in anyway.

Also, Xbox does have the most potentail, graphic-wise. It's just up to the developer to use the hardware to the fullest potential, which they hardly ever do. So, you can't jus t say that "XBox has the best graphics because it's got the best hardware". It's all up to the developer.

actually 720p is said to look better than 1080i

oh and all progressive scan capable PS2 games are 480p same with gamecube... xbox is the only one that can do 720p and 1080i

Xbox can't do 1080i. Anyway, 1080i definately looks better than 720p.

Also, the Gamecube looks helluva lot better than PS2, if simply for the fact that it uses Anti Aliasing. It looks like crap on PS2. Hell, the dreamcast did a better job.

I hold Gamecube and Xbox equal in graphic power. Simply because the Gamecube is used to its full potential.

That's a Terragen render with JK's junk slapped over it. Prove me I'm wrong with another angle, with you firing, and the lighting being effected. A before and after shot.

yes it can n00b... it's just that very few companies release games that support it... it's mostly either no progressive scan or 480p and a fairly good selection of games that DO support 720p... next time i'm at the rental place i'll try to find the one game i saw that said 1080i

I have yet to notice any Gamecube games that use Anti aliasing. Any examples would be most welcome.

720p is not as good as 1080i. However, more stations are using 720p because you can simultaneously broadcast more shows with 720p, without it looking so drastically different from 1080i.

1080i resoultion is like 1920x1080
720p resolution is 1280x720

See... anyone can make a realistic looking skybox. That's why some of these shots aren't impressing me. Like that KotOR shot. I agree the game is pretty, but at least get a shot that shows off something other than the skybox.

They all do. All of them. PS2 doesn't use AA on any of them. Xbox does. PS2 just sux0r in the jagged edge department.

maybe CM is using composite video or *GASP* RF cables

because with RF and composite you get that bit of blurriness and color bleeding that makes jaggies seem less jagged
