These are first generation Xbox games and PS2 games will NEVER reach this level of quality no matter what generation because developers are already using effects on the Xbox that the PS2 simply can\'t replicate.  If you doubt that these are real-time, they are.  If you notice the Brute Force pics, the models aren\'t extremely high-poly, it\'s just the self-shadowing and lighting effects that make them look CG-quality.  I haven\'t seen ONE PS2 game that even attempts to look this good.  This is a graphics discussion so I don\'t want any gameplay conversations.  But this is a slap in the face of those in denial who say that there won\'t be a noticable difference between Xbox and PS2 games.  If this isn\'t noticable, then you\'re a blatant fanboy.  Thank gawd PS2 has a large user-base to protect its future, because if it didn\'t, it would be already over.  It doesn\'t take a fool to realize that Sony dropped the ball hardware-wise with the PS2.

Yeah, PS2 is fncked from a graphical standpoint.  But this isn\'t a "PS2 is fncked!" thread.  PS2 is here to stay, there\'s no question about that, however, it will be the most graphically inferior console this generation...and by a long shot.

I think your forgeting something here..

Learning curve using the PS2 hardware..
Developers has said its very steap..

And I think this is pretty good for a "inferior" console..

Hahahahahaha!!! How did I know you were going to post that?  Is that all you have?  That\'s weak.  Last year those graphics would have been amazing.  Sorry, but Xbox has just raised the bar.  The backgrounds in that pic sucks...speaking of backgrounds, where\'s the background in the first pic?  Looks like a tech demo to me!  Kind of like that Namco girl when the PS2 was first unvieled.  Show me a screen with more than one character or object of the same detail on screen at once and I\'ll be amazed.  Otherwise, it\'s nothing amazing.

Anyone who thinks this game looks worse then anything on PS2 is ignorant,Blind, and a HUGE idiot. Sure, MGS2 might be the nicest looking PS2 game on the block, but it can\'t touch this.

well, i must say that im impressed by the lighting of the xbox according to those shots....i thought the ps2 had the best lighting effects compared to the DC and what ive seen of the gamecube...
and i say this because the ps2 lighting actually feels real..nlike the other consoles,  but i have to admit that these xbox shots are looking really good and the lighting looks amazing...got to check them out in action though for the final judgment.

oh see, there we have that xbox fanboy who was suppoed "to come in peace":rolleyes:  yeah i remeber you, you look no better than the other ones we had, you look alot like "Docwiz"

But you are right about that ps2 cannot compete with xbox graphically, just like xbox wont compete with ps2 in terms of user base. Its not all about the graphics like you xbox fans say. There is something called fun and gameplay, which I personally find lacking in most of Ms\' games.

yeah ps2 must watch out :rolleyes:

Post by: seven on October 17, 2001, 10:42:49 AM
I am not too impressed by the first lot of screens you posted, however, the SWAT game by Sierra does look very promising. Can PS2 compete? I honestly don\'t know.. these graphics presented in SWAT: GST are very good, although it\'s the lightning and great high res textures that makes this title look so good. You might deny this, but streaming textures has been the biggest problem on PS2-Hardware to date. Games like GT3, Final Fantasy X have finally gotten hold of it a little, so I think we will also see great improved in this department. At least to say, I hope we will. Seing that Outcast 2 (from a small developer) is looking this good so far and that at 60 fps is very good news for us PS2 fans. Speaking of texture detail:

(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fau.playstation.com%2Fimages%2Fgeneral%2Fwrclarge2.jpg&hash=07ff45e39ced2e84309dbb7054d550f124062ea9)

aren\'t these beautiful textures and lightning?

then, we have this \'other\' Rally game.. that africa ... game, that appearently kills GT3 graphic wise. I am too lazy to look for those first screens, but from what I have seen, texture detail and landscapes are amazing, just like in the two screens above (which represent in-game graphics, I believe). So, can the PS2 do this? I sure hope so. If games like WRC and others can look that good (with textures like that), then I don\'t see why a FPS couldn\'t.

BTW: I believe that MGS2 is first generation aswell. I\'d call GT3 second generation (since the graphics engine had been rebuilt after TGS 2000).

Post by: AlteredBeast on October 17, 2001, 10:58:32 AM
MGS2 is/will be 2nd generation. A year has already passed for PS2, a year and a half for Japan. It doesn\'t matter when the graphics engine was built for it, it matters when it is released.

and GT3\'s textures suck, it\'s prowess is in it\'s precision cars and great lighting effects.

Title: End of story?
Post by: Heretic on October 17, 2001, 11:00:21 AM
More like the never ending story. If the last six months have taught us anything it should be you can\'t judge system power based only on screen shots. Now that everyone will soon be able to see the real deal in action on actual TVS the only real purpose pics like these serve is to gauge things like ‘should I be interested in game X\' not ‘behold the graphical superiority of console X\'.  Since a couple of you characters still think screens like these weigh in as proof of something or other, I\'ll offer a few reactions to them.

I notice most of the shots are only of single figure in motion. Why are all those pics either dark, drab, or washed out, with nothing in between?  Fatson posts a beautiful brightly lit Outcast2 shot and it gets labeled weak. Talk about blatant fanboys, some of you xbox fans have that label tattooed on your foreheads.
 
We all obviously don\'t view screens with the same attitude so what was the point starting a thread like this again? To make yourself feel better because lately  xbox has disappointed some of those who have finally seen it running? Get used to it. Why bother trying to convince people that haven\'t been wowed by the xbox so far that one day they will be, it just makes the console look weaker, IMO.

where does it say that from that date on this and that game is one generation ahead? It doesn\'t make sense. It might not be based on how many titles have been developed so far, but I really doubt it that the generations are determend on when the game is released. If so, please prove me wrong.

no, they might suck in comparasment to games soon available on other systems, but for PS2 at the moment, I wouldn\'t say that they suck. The cars are very detailed (check the textures on the rally cars), and so are landscapes (especially Tokyo) and buildings. Good textures == good variety and good quality. GT3 might lack them in a lot of stages, but seing that Tokyo stage (so does Rockymountains) looks good, I think developer Polyphony just got lazy towards the end and that time pressure was a factor aswell.

Would you say Ferrari\'s textures suck? Just curious, cause GT3 has better textures. I plopped both in to compare. GT3 doesn\'t have astounding textures, but they don\'t suck.

On topic, those graphics for the X-box look spectacular. Though if history repeats itself (IF) it won\'t affect the PS2. The most powerful system never wins the war remember? Oh well, either way, I will win the war. :D

Yes, I agree too, the PS2 can\'t match xbox graphically--those are stunning.  While I agree with the spirit of your post, I think you should go away because you are just a little troll that likes to show off xbox\'s pretty graphics and rub them in the faces of PS2 owners.  Really, you have no real reason to be here.

I think showing GT3 as a graphical showcase isn\'t a good idea because any current system can slap a shiny texture on a blocky object (that\'s what a car is) and make it look realistic.

Outcast is a better example, but I\'m not sure about it.  We know too little about that game to really say anything definite.  The newer games coming out for the system are a better indication.

I am guessing that about 95% of a game is build out of "blocky objects" as you call them. GT3 has cars, SWAT: GST has walls. The only unblocky thing about FPS in comparasments to Racers are the humans. If racing games would be that simple, I think we would be seing far better stuff then we are now. BTW: I wasn\'t using GT3 as any showcase or anything, but about texture quality and how it has improved since launch. The PS2 biggest flaw (well it isn\'t, just hard to overcome) is the small VRAM, which more and more developers are slowly going around.

Everyone knows Xbox will have better graphics, I mean the machine is a full year a dn1/2 older then the PS2 anything less would be a complete failure

BUT I 150% disagree with you naive assanine statement that the PS2 could never comepte with Xbox graphics. If you actually took your head out of your rectum you would easily see that a few games already do compare graphically and this is before SOny\'s performance analyzer\'s and other tools become available.

You underesimate the little black box


I guess what is really up Direct-Xlads\' ass is the fact the PS2 is doing extremly well,


None the less its good to see some intersting games coming out for Xbox that are not ports from other machines,

When are these games scheduled for release. I\'m guessing late or mid 2002

I do agree that Xbox games will always be better looking, but it will not be dwarfed in the way a few of you\'s deem it will.


Look at FFX, Drakan II and BG: DA those games are pretty sweet graphically and Outcast looks nice as well.

Figure on SOny\'s performance analyzer and a few other tools to make their debut in early 2002 and we will see another significant increase in the PS2 capabilities during gen 3 and 4

Also looking deeper into the PS2 tells me that its 3 processor main CPU has the ability to a few more things simulataneously then Xbox

Although Xbox\'s harddrive does offer it some intriguing extra\'s as well.

Xbox should get the majority of its power tapped easier and sooner then the PS2 obviously, so seeing these awesome XBox screens doesn\'t surprise me, but actually makes me wonder what took so long for this type of media to be shown to us.

I can\'t wait to get an Xbox.

You\'ll be careful when substituting the word "blows" for "blows away," won\'t you? ;)

I\'m not as gung-ho on RS:II as everyone else.  After so many good impressions, I\'ve decided to try to buy it, though.  I much prefer the Starfox style of space combat.  Seems much faster and focused.  I also notice that enemies are weak offensively and strong defensively in the game.  Basically that means, like the first one, circling back a few times in order to kill what is practically a non-threat.  Hopefully there is a balance there and I\'ve just missed it so far.

Of course that\'s all in the gameplay, not the graphics.  It\'s still a pretty game.  I just hope it\'s a pretty good game, since it\'s beating out games like SSX: Tricky for my last dollar on launch day.

actually no. I mean with overall game selections. GC can do great graphics, unfortunately unless you want to play Nintendo games (and I do not as do quite a few others) why waste money on a GC when there is so muchmore offered on the PS2 and Xbox.

Xbox can do better graphically then the GC and it caters to an older audience, and there are alot of older gamers these days who will be very willing to pick up a PS2 or an Xbox over GC, it has more appeal. Especially with Sega in bed with Xbox more then GC and the PS2. Almost everyday some Nintendo fan switches sides at the IGN forums.

and it is my opinion, but the PS2 has tons of awesome games, and Xbox is showing off lots of cool titles as well with a heluva alot more 3rd party support.


Alteredbeast

I\'ll take Xbox graphics of recent over anything GC by a country mile, and then some

I guess.  I actually look forward to many of the Nintendo exclusives (as do quite a few others) so I\'ll spend my money on a GC.

Our opinions differ. I just wanted to share mine, too.

here here D man well said.

Sorry i havent reponed quicker on this due to extrem sillyness with old boy Rob.

Your right i mean i am amased with the X box Graphics and they are superb.

BUT like you said the PS2 isn\'t anywhere near at full potential !
This will take time and i have to say with every generation of new game i have the fealing that i will stick with Sony

This example in the leaps that the PS2 can do can be easily seen when we examine the progress from

Timespitters (launch game)

to Timespitters 2

another point is that this "console War" will be long and it will demand a lot form the companies involved.

And for anyone to say now that one company will dominate is clearly has there head in the sand (or some where more drak and smelly)

Sony handle well under pressure they have proved this in fighing of the SEGA SATURN , NINTENDO 64  and the DREAMCAST !

Microsoft have dominated their markets for years now and this is their first attempt in that console world.
a
nyway to round off i can\'t wait for the X box to lanch in the UK.

Its not because i want one or want to see it fail !

its just that i know that Sony always deliver the goods when the compentition gets serious.

And they don\'t get much bigger than Mircosoft !

But you are right about that ps2 cannot compete with xbox graphically, just like xbox wont compete with ps2 in terms of user base. Its not all about the graphics like you xbox fans say. There is something called fun and gameplay, which I personally find lacking in most of Ms\' games.

yeah ps2 must watch out :rolleyes:



  Well its almost one year later and the PS2 is just now getting some good games like DMC, MGS2, GT3, and ICO.  It took 12 months dude.  About the PS2 selling 20 million units, thats a masturbation fantasy and an ourright lie on sonys part.  That doesn\'t count how many have been taken back because the PS2\'s don\'t work.

  Sorry to say, Sony\'s system isn\'t great at all.  Those games I listed above are the top of the line games for the PS2 and its 12 months later.  At least Xbox has games out at launch that kill sony, and I think this is more than an opinion ask anyone off the street that doesn\'t care either way and they will tell you.

  Nintendo is an outright disaster and thats unfortunate, they will do better next year, but RS2 is the only game worth picking up this entire year.  

  Xbox has DOA3, Halo, Project Gotham (GT3), Amped, and NFL Fever, which blows away PS2\'s launch with a puny Madden 2001 (which 2002 is on xbox at launch) and SSX, lets not even go there.

  Give xbox the same amount of time that PS2 currently has and its a different story.  I promise that when xboxes are out and available everywhere, the 12 million PS2\'s that are REALLY out there will be slowing down bigtime.

Xbox has the best launch, best hardware, best easy to use API of any Next Generation console hands down.

I don\'t want to hype the xbox up for beyond what it doesn\'t deserve but you do have to call a spade a spade here folks.

BTW, Outcast 2 is being done on the PC, so It can be done on the xbox as well, but I don\'t think all of what is shown of outcast2 to be realtime.  For instance, do you see the sweat on his face in that model?  Well the PS2 could do that with all the rest of the high polygon and textures but you would be running at 5 frames per second on the PS2.  PS2 was not cut out for doing those kind of things in realtime.  Outcast 2 will look good, I have played the first version, but it won\'t look as good as people are thinking from some of the standalone models.  Xbox could handle it all in realtime though and maintain 60 frames per second.

IMO, the PS2 graphics will only evolve more and more. If you noticed the PSX, when it first came out, the games were like the Genesis graphics. But they evolved into the terrific looking games that are out now. The PS2 graphics will match and might even beat the X-Box and GC in the years to come. Don\'t underestimate the PS2 at this point until the other systems are out to compare it to.

Geeze Docwhiz

You don\'t really believe what you posted


The PS2 has been pumpin out quality titles since Spring, and a few at launch (  Timesplitters, SSX, Madden, AC2, Tekken, DOA2 HC) were well worth the price of the PS2 for the majority

Onimusha, Ring of Red, Red Faction, ICO, GT3, TM:B, Star Fighter, SH2, DMC, NBA Street, Shadow of Destiny, Dark Cloud, and a dozen or 2 other games that we\'re enoyed by alot of others. Hence the 20 million PS2\'s shipped (believe it its true which is also the reason all the stores are mass loading up on PS2 stuff for the holiday season, they  know what they\'ve sold in the last year)

on the Horizon:  THPS3, GTA3, SSX Tricky, BG:DA, MGS2, Jak and Daxter, AC4, TS2, FFX, Maximo, Exo, Wipeout Fusion should I go on

and nothing on the Xbox blows away games on the PS2. Halo reviewed by Next gen got a 3/5 while THPS3 DMC and GTA3 all got 5/5 sure they\'ll end up on Xbox but who wants to wait to play PS2 ports on Xbox

I think XBox\'s launch is pretty good, but compared to the PS2 lineup now, it only holds a candle

Its great to be a naive fanboy who gets all pissed off at SOny\'s success but face the facts son. Sony has more games and better games this year and into next. Maybe next Christmas you\'ll have a legitiamate argument, or maybe you should just admit your very blind and ludicrous hate for SOny is causing you to not be able to think clearly

Yes, yes, yes..... Of course Xbox\'s graphics look better...... Simply because they\'ve had almost 2 years to surpass ps2..... Which you notice today that computer speed almost doubles in only 6 months..... Xbox\'s had more time.... Making better graphics.

But that doesn\'t mean the PS2 can\'t compete..... I\'m quite frankly here for the games...... AND MGS2!:D

The point of this post was to squash the fanboys in denial who say, "There won\'t be a noticable difference between Xbox and PS2 games, blah blah..."  PS2\'s userbase is it\'s only saving grace, like I mentioned before.  I\'d never buy a system for safety in numbers, I buy it for the games.  Right now, Halo, NFL Fever 2002, Amped and DoA3 are the only games I want to play right now.  The fact that Shenmue 2 is coming to the box is another incentive for me.  Play what you like, just don\'t make up lies to support your favorite console.  PS2 graphics will never catch up to the Xbox...never.  Live with it and play your games.

You call the PS2 obsolete, once I read that I knew the rest of your post would be bull****, like I didn\'t know you were a xbox fanboy anyway.  and I say there isn\'t  much of a difference, I have seen the xbox in motion and it doesn\'t look that much better, your a reject thinking that it isn\'t even close, oh and two of games you want to play will be squashed by two other games, Amped won\'t be nearly as good as SSX TRICKY, and the DOA series blows **** in the gameplay department

Insecure ???????

If anything its Xbox fans who are obviously insecure to actually puff out their caved in chests and actually post this dribble. Especially since everyone here has now seen Xbox in motion and it comes up  considerably shorter then expected. Heck I\'ve been to my local video store  1/2 dozen time in the last 10 days and everytime I\'m there I hear comments on the Xbox and everyone is losing excitement except for those who are too old to enjoy Nintendo and choose to hate Sony for whatever lame reason they can come up with (which IMO matches the lame reasons for peopel hating XBox)

Amped, NFL Fever, DOA3 are all matched or susrpassed by PS2 equivalents. Not to mention the amount of killer apps that will dominate the Holiday season


What kills me is you Xbox fanboys call yourself gamers yet you continually make up reasons to hate games on a system you are hoping will fail or not do so well for some sake of foolish fanboy pride (not that there aren\'t equal amounts of PS2 and GC fans with the same mission here and everywhere).


Xbox has its strengths, but it will never dwarf the PS2 and the PS2 is further away from Obsolete then the XBox is for numerous reasons.

Why some of you are so willing to deny yourself some of the great times that the PS2 is offering is puzzling beyond comprehension. I believe in opinion, but when the majority of the gaming masses are all praising the PS2 and all based on hands on experience  its hard to take you guys seriously, and we don\'t

Sure there are sheep, but most everyone knows when they are having fun, and enjoying what they see and play. No review or mass opinion can determine that

SO DirectXbox,  Docwiz and a few others you have to realize how big of a joke you areally are. Cause it is.

In the meantime I\'m sure I won\'t be too upset with your reply  since my time will be occupied with GT3, DMC, GTA3, THPS3, SSX Tricky, BG: DA, MGS2, Jak and Daxter, Splashdown, and Burnout . I\'m sure you\'ll find plenty to complain about these games since this is your style

The xbox is a stunning machine, it\'s just a shame they missed the boat when it came to releasing it at a reasonable price to compete in an allready difficult marketplace.

If you think that xbox will be the market leader in 2 years time then why not go and place a bet on it now? Put your money where your mouth is.

I suppose microsoft expect everyone to go out and buy an expensive tv to go with their expensive console so the graphics actually do look good and not just blurred like 85% of the owners of xbox\'s will.

I\'m going to wait two years before thinking about buying an xbox, in that time the fanboys will have pumped enough money into the machine to maybe make it a worthwhile purchase.

But this xmas I\'m going to spend my cash on lots a new games for the ps2, while the xbox boys are waiting, I\'ll be playing :D
