Graphically speaking - did the PSP already reach its peak?

... with games such as GoW?

What exactly are its limits? Alike the PS2 console (DR with its amazing graphics still doesn't look as good as Tekken 5) or more/less?

When it comes to gaming, you can call me a "graphics-whore", but I like it when everything looks as sharp as possible. They can, imo, contribute to the core gameplay in many ways as well (Doom 3 is a nice example).

As a side note, I must admit I'm looking forward to a Soul Calibur game, since the fourth one on the home consoles looks so much fun. :)

no because resistance is going to set the bar higher when it comes out next year. So we still have some more good looking games to come

Who really knows I'm still surprised by some of the things the PSP can do, games like the syphon filter series, God of War, Crisis Core, Monster Hunter series, Tekken DR, Ace Combat X really show off the power of the PSP. Developers are always going to push for more until the next PSP is released.

Just look at the quality of graphics seen in Birth By Sleep.

As great as those look, I still think developers will set the bar even higher. ;P

It all depends on how much effort the developers put into it........and also as developers get accustomed to the hardwear of the psp they will be better able to manipulate the system to sqeeze alittle more out of it, but i dont think we will see much btter than what gow offered up, it was a visually stunning game,as good if not better than some of the better ps2 titles.......and thats really saying something for a handhelp devise.

anything can happen. DR was made 2 yrs ago on the same UMD they use now. So think about the ways they could develop games more efficient and dense.

Yeah, this game looks to surpass Chains of olympus in that department. Developers are always pushing systems till the end, just look at the ps2, it's still producing great looking games.

The cut scenes in Crisis Core i would say they are better than some next Gen games.

Not quite, but there's still plenty of potential left in the little bugger. I say, once the system reaches its graphical limit developers should throw in more art. The cutscenes in Tactics are a fine example.

considering the best graphical PS2 games are within the last couple of years and very late in teh PS2 life-cycle, Sony has a knack for squeezing out every last drop of juice from their platforms.

i'd say the best is yet to come for the PSP.
