Reason of the topic is because I've read some posts that they can't stand playing previous gens anymore because of crappy graphics.

To answer the topic question...I'm not. I still play some PS2 games and sometimes even PS1. :)

No way. I still think PS2 graphics are decent, and I don't really have a choice if I want to do play something other than a shooter.

Of course, I mean I have a PS3 and the only excellent game is DMC4, which isn't even an exclusive. I play PS2 games mainly though, need to get rid of my PS1 games.

It is hard to go back and forth. I spent some time with Jet Moto and Destruction Derby and it took me a good 20 min to finally get passed the "block" visuals and enjoy myself.

Well I still like playing Crash Bandicoot for the PS and Lengend of Legaia stills looks cool in the battles. Its hard sometimes to play an older game but only if the gameplay sucks cause thats when you can't stand looking at it or watching it. Jak II is still as awesome as ever even after playing Uncharted.

Last night I was playing FFIX (for PS1). The in game graphics were very pixelated, but I was surprised with the movie scenes. Amazing graphics por the PS1...

From the 2D era, I don't have any trouble.

From the early 3D era, say, PSone era, it can be tough. The graphics are usually very pixelated and are extremely blocky. I get over it after a little bit of time, but it's a bit jarring at first.

Thankfully I do get over it, otherwise I wouldn't be replaying the masterpiece that is Final Fantasy VII right now.

Sometimes I feel that way, or how my nostalgia of X game made an idealistic image of the game, and then its completely different. But a good or entertaining game will always be that, and as long as it keeps that I keep playing them, though the majority of what I play is RPGs (as far as previous gen games go) so Graphics are not the most important thingy there.

Depends on the game itself. Im not the biggest on graphics as long as the gameplay is tight. But if both suffer, houston we have a problem.

Of course, I mean I have a PS3 and the only excellent game is DMC4, which isn't even an exclusive. I play PS2 games mainly though, need to get rid of my PS1 games.ClassicPlayer

:lol: DMC4 isn't even close to being an excellent game, let alone the only excellent game on the PS3. MGS4, Uncharted, GTAIV, Oblivion... there's so many it's not even funny.

On-topic: Yeah I still play a lot of my older games, though it's usually only the games I really loved. I often won't go back and play a PS2 game I'd never played before (though I will be making an exception of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly fairly soon).

The first 2 games I beat on my PS3 were ICO and Shadow of the Collossus. Also I have a Wii so I guess not.

I can play fine with older games if their graphic was more based on artistic approach than technical beauty.

However, games that's almost completely based on technical beauty.... is getting difficult to look at.

The only last gen game I play is FFVIII because I just really love that game. The graphics are disappointing at first but you'll get used to it. Hopefully S.E. re-makes it.

Since my PS3 is hooked up to an HDTV, I can't stand the graphics. If I don't upscale, everything seems stretched out. If I upscale, the picture won't fit the whole screen. So, whenever I play PS2 games I'm constantly switching up between upscale or normal graphics just to "get a better picture", and because of that, I really don't enjoy playing my old games.

I wouldn't say so. I still play PS2 games every now and then and have even played Spyro 2 for the PS1 fairly recently and still thought that it was great.

I still play older gen games. Graphics are nice but they aren't that important. There are a lot of good games that look like crap by today's standards but are still a blast to play.

Damn right. I'm pretty sick of shooters too..Lets hear it for a complete lack of creativity and balls to try something different this generation huh?

I don't mind some games like for example GOW 2 is an immense game in terms of graphics and Okami has amazing artistic style and is visually stunning. But really blocky and under-done games bother me more. I am used to PS3 graphics now which is a blessing as far as I'm concerned as I don't care much for last gen. Can anyone think of any games that stood out to them visually on the ps2?

Nope.... some of the best games are on the older systems.....

Colecovision - Atari - Nintendo - 3D0 - NEO GEO - Dreamcast

Only problem i find sometimes is getting use to the controller again.... its weird to pick up an origional nintendo or Genesis controller......
