Moving back from 1080p, doesanyone else have a hard time playing PS2 Games because of the grainy graphics?

I recently moved from playing oblivion to Final Fantasy 12, and im have a really hard time enjoying the game because the graphics seem so grainy. Im fine with old school games with primitive graphics such as MEGAMAN 2 (from the aniversary collection) but games like Final Fantasyx/ Devil May Cry / even silent hill! games that I absolutely LOVED AT ONE POINT, i find i cant even play them now because they seem grainy and blurry after playing at 1080p!

:(

ps2 games are timeless man, just deal with it, the fun gameplay makes up for the grainy graphics, and the cutscenes are still pretty comparable to next gen

I'm very very satisfied with PS2's graphics. I don't need better graphics. I don't mind if GTA IV, MGS 4, RE 5, etc are on PS2. For me graphics is the least important aspect of a game.

Graphics of Hitman Blood Money is my favorite kind of graphics. IMO realistic and too smooth graphics are not good.

I've played some Next-Gen games on the PC and PS3. Mainly I play PS2 Games because they have a great story and gameplay, and seriously great graphics. They can't be better than PS3/Xbox360 but they are fabulous. Sure they can be a little grainy/etc... But hey, in ten years or something, we'll say the same thing about PS3/Xbox360, because time passes, but great games remains...

It is the gameplay itself that makes up for the graphics. Think before the next gen consoles came in. Everybody is happy with the ps2 and it's graphics because the games were fun but we must move on...the next gen consoles have some really good graphics but there are still some games with immense gameplay coming for the ps2 so be aware:)

no, i'm perfectly fine with PS2's graphics. PS1 graphics bother me a little, but i don't have a 360/PS3 so i'm not spoiled.

I understand what the OP is going through. I think the PS2 graphics look extra bad when playing on an HDTV. I have my PS3 hooked up via HDMI, and the PS2 games look worse than if I were to have them on a standard tube TV. They say that standard definition content looks worse on an HDTV than on a tube TV. I guess they were right :(

I think everyone eventually gets tired of the last systems' graphics. I think most people, once they have played a better looking game, get bored with a graphically simpler game. Maybe it has to do with what you think looks good at the time graphically. When I first played Twisted Metal on ps1 I was completely satisfied about how it looked. After a certain time of playing games on the ps2 (probably immediately) I found it hard to enjoy a graphically simpler game. With graphics as good as they are currently I think graphics will be less of a factor and more of the enjoyment will be focused on the gameplay and of course the visual style of the game.

I have absolutely no problems playing PS2 games though I've been playing HD-games on PC for years... I can even play old NES games easily. No problem at all. PS2 graphics look like **** when compared to future PS3 games but PS2 game graphics are not to be compared to PS3 game graphics since that would be stupid. I can still see what SNES games got good graphics and what don't. I guess it's just me but I can play Super Mario Kart and think that it looks great, I mean when it first came out everyone was like "Wow!" It's still the best Kart game, a lot better than Mario Kart 64.

Don't think you will be playing any PS1 games anytime soon will you? It takes me around an hour to adjust between different generations and once I am graphics become an afterthought compared to actual gameplay.

primitive graphic?..those games are evergreen man...esp ffvii...eventho the graphics are not good, whats important is the storyline and the "feel" from playing those games...if you really cant handle the graphic the answer is simple...wait for the remake..:P..gud luck on your fights againts grainy games.
