PS2 was very weak, then PS3 had a great looking game like Motorstorm at launch. PS2 > PS3 for me. + HD and all.

PS1 to PS2 was huge, right from launch you could see a vast difference. PS3 and 360 right at launch weren't much better than the previous gen, on a CRT. In fact look at the first Madden for 360, it was fugly, it can hardly be touted as a "next-gen" game. The jump from SD to HD is really, really huge though. I would say the jump from SD to HD was much bigger than the jump from PS2 to PS3, even with the same games. Now, with games like Uncharted 2, Gears, God of War, etc., forget about it.

Well from what I remember when the PS2 first launched, a lot of people were disappointed with the graphics because Sony over hyped the damn thing to have PIXAR quality graphics.iammason
No, that was MS...

PS3 from PS2 was a major graphical leap, and a major stepback in gameplay.

dog_dirt

how do you mean?

I could play a ps2 game all day, but with even the best ps3 games I quit early. Something is just missing that was present in ps1 and ps2 games.

If you stop for a second and allow yourself to remember the past instead of staying in the present (a time where you can still be impressed by visuals) you'll realise that the differences between the Ps1 and PS2 were immense and just logically far greater. Facial animations/visible emotions, lip syncing? during the Ps1 era these were a rarity if not non existant. Draw distance? please..

is that slient hill 1 in the top pick? Why does that game look a lot better on my psp and also mgs1 for that matter looks way better on my psp? But thats definatly how they look on the ps3, I guess the smaller screen makes it look sharp? Also those ps2 shots are bullshots. There is no jaggies on them and no combing or shimmering textures, at least that is how they look when I play my ps2 on my hd tv or 24" pc monitor.... Bad combing and motion trails plus really - really bad jaggies. Which I don't seem to get from the ps1 games (well jaggies but no motion trails or coming like with ps2 games, could be because of hdmi on ps3?)

They aren't bullshots o_O they are just compressed. Kinda hard to see jaggies when your screen shots are smaller then the actual resolution, regardless the point is still made when you look at the textures and faces, when you consider the fact that they actually have recognizable facial features in the PS2 shots then you kinda get the point. As for the PS1 shots, I played these titles at launch, they looked that ugly if not worse.

It was hard for me to see any jaggies when playing most PS2 games on my SDTV, really all the games had this blur effect. It kinda made the games look better. I do remember SH3 looking amazing when I 1st played it on the PS2.
