RE4 graphics aren't that great!

So i just picked it up for the GC, and expected to be blown away since it gets the most votes on here whenever someone does a "best graphics" thread, but in all honesty, i think the graphics are only "pretty good", comparable to Twilight Princess. As far as sharpness goes, there are plenty of games with crisper graphics on the cube IMHO, like Mario Sunshine, Rogue Leader, Metroid Prime, SSBM, Star Fox Adventures, but most importantly, Soul Caliber 2. dats my 2 pennies.

That's your opinion and your entitled too it. :)

I think the graphics are just as good as Zelda's. 

While those games may have crisper graphics, they aren't going for as much of a "realistic" feel as RE4. Even Metroid Prime, while one of the most beautiful games I've seen on the Gamecube, doesn't have super realistic graphics. Same goes for Sunshine. RE4 strives for more realistic graphics and as a result, they aren't as crisp because the Gamecube has it's limitations when it comes to that realistic feel. Wolblade

I wasn't impressed with RE4's graphics, either. But that was because I'd already been blown away by REmake (regardless of the fact that a lot of it was pre-rendered)....But I guess playing RE4 on an HDTV didn't help matters, either.VMan

Yeah, that probably didn't help any.

you need to get your eye sight checked out.

re4 for the cube was one of the most epic scale games visually of the last gen. The atmosphere, lighting, texture, bump mapping and epic boss battles make it among the best games made to date. 

even re5 won't top it. Especially considering most of it is recycled animations from all the gameplay footage I have seen so far.  

you sure you aren't playing the ps2 version?  

Then when you compare it to the TERRIBLE PS2 version, you really get an idea for how solid it looked back in the day. cosmostein77
