Why are you doing this? We all knew the PS2 was very powerful when it launched but now it's outdated technology. Despite that there are still very good looking games on it. The hardware was pushed to the max.

The leap from one gen to the next was instantly recognizable.

We didn't have to "wait" and see to know that the PS2 had better graphics. No doubt that it was a next gen console. No questioning if it was just a PS with a dvd player inside. You turned it on DAY ONE and said "wow this does look better".

I actually think many PS2 exclusives match Xbox/GC's exclusive game graphics.

God of War 1&2, MGS3, Killzone (game sucked but had nice graphics), Silent Hill 2, Okami, Shadow's of the Colossus, Ico, and so on...

Really cannot see your point. Of coarse the PS2 showed up the PS1 just like the PS3 showed up the PS2 graphics have you ever heard mo moores curve?

I wouldn't say that. Games like COD4 and Gears of War are quite a leap. Even games like Dead Rising ushered in brand new elements only made possible on the new hardware.

So please stop comparing the instantly good looking PS2 to that white little box that is struggling to prove that its not a last gen console. Its an insult to the PS2 and all those who knew its awesomeness.

Still like to brag that crap is selling eh?

I take it when boybands were all the rage you went around bragging about that too. "Hey the backstreet boys is outselling all you good talentedbands! IN YOUR FACE!!"

I got some gold colored turds I'd love to sell you sir.

This topic blows harder than the 2007 Yankees.

Why not come straight out and tell us there is not much of a graphical difference between the GC and Wii?

It was the weakest of the three systems, but not by a whole lot. Certainly nothing at all to complain about when compared to the Wii / Xbox 360 and PS3 gap.

This feels like a Wii bashing thread in disguise...

Why even bring this up, most people here understand that all though the PS2 (and PS) were underpowered, they still got great looking games because they were able to grab developers from Nintendo because their userbase was so big.

From my experience the PS2's biggest flaw was long loading times. Even the memory card access was slow on some games. By comparison the Gamecube was pretty much instant with both...or at least I don't remember any game with any noticable loading time.

I've never seen a game that could make realistic graphics that looked better on the PS2 than any other system. The only actually comparable game is God of War II, and that came out in 2007, and can still hardly compete with 2005's Ninja Gaiden Black.

The PS2 made up for it's incredible shortcomings in the same way the Wii will, with games. The online was also mediocre, clunky, and obsolete, but it was still fun.

Not by a whole lot? I disagree. The only two amazing games are SotC and GoWII, in terms of graphics. Every other game fails when compared to an Xbox or GC game. Okami excluded, as that is an game aiming for artistic direction.

yep prettty much, this is a weakly vailed attempt at saying the Wii sux, Or is it the 360? they are both white but since he says lil then....all i can say is that the Wii has nothing to prove its kicking the crap out of both systems right now, and the 360 is kicking the crap out of the ps3.

It must suck being the big black box thats really only a glorified blu ray player, and is geting its butt kicked in sales.

I own all 3 systems and so far i own 10 games for the Wii, 15 for the 360, and 2 for the ps3.

The PS2 was released in Japan in March, 2001, in North America in October, and in Europer in November, MGS2 was released in November 2001, more than a year afterany launch, FFX was released July 2001 more than a year after the Japanese launch, and Tekken Tag had already been developed for the arcade, so the time had already been taken to acheive those graphics, so if you're going to judge the wii based on this, you have to wait until at least this holiday season.

Well, none of those hit, say, Riddick.

And Killzone had horrible graphics. I'm sorry, but "lotsa polygons full of glitches and poor performance" is not "good graphics", it's a good powerpoint presentation.

Not really, because it had a lot of developer support, and many of its games looked better than xbox and gamecube. I use final fantasy Xii as an example. Furthermore, the gamecube used a bad choice of its game medium, mini cds, essentially creating most games with not cutscenes, and severely limiting its potential so hence, you cannot even compete it with ps2 and xbox.
