Resident Evil Mercenaries/Revelations 3DS have PSP-level graphics at best

Just playedResident Evil Mercenaries (and its included Revelations demo) and the graphic was not that good at all. This is the prime game used by Nintendo apologist to claim 3DS have better graphics than the PSP based off screenshots, but the actual game looks very underwhelming and can easily be mistaken for a PSP game. Also there are tons of animations issues: enemies moving in a slideshow pace/frame skipping, like a 2d spirit (ala doom) with very few transitional frames. Just admit that Nintendo gypped you all on its hardware pricing for a 2004 psp tech. This is the same company that is charging all their garbage games like steel driver 40 bucks for christ's sake.

PSP has nice graphics. DS has great games. Combine the two and I don't see a problem.

I'd say 3DS graphics is close to PS2 level. Probably a bit better than PSP in some areas, but I've never played a PSP myself. People who say the 3DS has 360 launch title graphics really get on my nerves.

Nah I find Mercenaries to be around GC verson of RE4. The enemies have some really jerky animation at times from a distance through.

And Revelations is looking better now then the demo.

I really do not care about graphics. Plus, the PSP had nice graphics anyways.

EDIT: Why are you blaming Nintendo??? They didn't make the game :x

Hmm this is System Wars...look this game looks freakin good enough for me from a technical standpoint. Of course it's not going to be Vita level graphics which are reaching PS3 level hardware anyway.

Meh PS3 rarely does 1080p anyways...

3DS games look like crap, 3DS screen is lower resolution than 6 years old PSP o.O

3DS definetely ousts the PSP, by not by a massive margin. We're talking PS2 esque compared to the Wii esque. That said, the Resident Evil games are definetely as good if not better than your average PSP game. And one isn't finished yet.

Bad system cuz graphics right?

This is PSP-level graphics to you? Looks more like Xbox graphics to me.

Yeah, this is a tech-demo but the final game could look like this in optimal conditions.

PSP doesn't even have any pixel shaders.

Now, if only Revelations really looked like that.

Also if you don't want people putting blown up shots of 3ds games then maybe you might want to hold on the bullshots.

What bullshots? These screens are from the real-time tech demo.

Mercenaries looks more like a xbox 1 or a wii title to me.

I think many people don't even realize that the 3D effect on the 3DS means it has to draw two pictures simultaneously. So obviously the graphics won't be the best when it has to render two pictures at the same time.

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]Why are you posting bullshots?

MFDOOM1983

Gameplay demo doesn't equal tech demo. But that tech demo was real-time (unlike, for example, the Killzone 2 tech demo which was just CGI).

First of all, those aren't bullshots but screens from the real-time tech demo. You can watch it here:

Secondly, yes, I do think it has to be noted why the gameplay graphics aren't as good as they could be. The Vita won't have a 3D screen hence why it's games can look better.

My point was that the graphics COULD look like this if the dev wanted so.

Next time post some gameplay photos......not movie photos from the game.

RE:R Gameplay photos....on 3DS.Even and RE 4 on GC looks better than this.

[QUOTE="nameless12345"]

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"] Why are you showing me this cutscene? Gameplay doesn't look like that and judging from the cutscenes seen in the latest trailer neither do the cutscenes. HDR lighting is absent(or just toned down), low-res/poly character models/environments and jerky animation. The graphics took a huge hit when capcom decided to add larger environments. vita games look better because it's more powerful.

MFDOOM1983

My point was that the graphics COULD look like this if the dev wanted so.

They could easily make a rail-shooter with these graphics and a good skilled dev could make a "real" game look like that too (see Doom 3 on Xbox).

[QUOTE="nameless12345"]

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]Unless they're just making a cutscene with no player interaction it could never look like that.

I don't think RE: REV is nearly the best we'll see from the system.

Yes, the 3DS has a lower poly count than GC but it also has a lot better shaders. Good shading effects may cover the lack of polys (Doom 3 on the Xbox is an excellent example of this).

[QUOTE="nameless12345"]

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]3DS seems like it can't push the same number of polys as GC let alone xbox. But it can do shaders unlike the gc. You keep throwing the word talented but RE:REV is pushing the system the hardest from a technical standpoint. Unfortunately, the system itself can't handle capcom's true vision. Maybe a vita port will do the game MT Framework engine justice.MFDOOM1983

Well considering Nintendo themselves said not every 3DS game has to use the 3D effect, I do think they can get a lot more out if it (if their target is best graphics).

lol even in the image comparison RE:R looks better than RE4 guys take the googles off, better textures, crisper, and less blurry. RE:R looks like an Xbox 1 game not a PSP( way better shaders and HDR than a PSP can dream of). and really guys the 3ds system gets graphics done very well. Vita goes well above and beyond and that's icing on a cake but you trying to convince yourself that the 3ds sucks based on cherry picked images that usually are bloated or not in native res is laughable. mayceV

The PSP resolution is 480x272....the 3DS top screen resolution is 400×240.The PSP win....

hmm, even the nintendo guys are coming to the conclusion that glassless 3d sucks (as it stands). I'm glad to see that they're realizing it's a useless gimmick.thatisfalse

Actually make that 800x240 for the 3DS since it draws two pictures ;)

By his logic the Sega Genesis had a lot better graphics than the SNES because it had a little higher res, despite SNES producing way more colorful games and advanced effects like Mode-7.

I regret buying the 3ds. I really do.

Revelations looks better than RE4 PS2.

Did Nintendo kill your family or something?
