But nothing will change, It\'ll be just be more polygons, and more pc type effects... it won\'t be procedural texturing and all of the othe nifty PS2 stuff.

Techniques such as procedural texturing are not unique to the PS2. For example, check out nVidia\'s old GeForce256;

"hardware transform & lighting, cube environment bump mapping, projective textures, vertex blending, multi-texturing, procedural texturing...etc".

The NV2a will be MANY times more powerful than the GeForce256 and includes features such as pixel shaders and vertex shaders. Hence you WILL see \'nifty PS2 stuff\' on the XBox.

As ddaryl has said, we\'ll have to wait and see.

I can\'t wait for E3 (should be awesome for ALL gamers).

Bozco,why dont you just shut the **** up you ****,why do you have to go and be a ****,everyone else on this forum is ok,but your just being an idiot.
And that is what i would do if sony did drop the ps2 now,but what did i say at the start and end of my thread,"i really carnt see this being true".so just shut up.

I think you are overreacting a bit Ethan. This is a moronic post though, and there\'s obviously not a lick of truth to it. The human eye can\'t even see 120 fps, so why would they do that? Pointless.
