The road texture when using PS2.0 is much sharper (why?). An entirely differant grass texture is used on PS2.0 (why?). PS3.0 adds shadows to the geometry (is this not possible under PS2.0?). I havent compared the water yet. I also have a feeling that the light trails in the replays are translucent in PS3.0 but look opaque in PS2.0 (I'll take pics soon). Also the light blooms look banded in PS2.0 like there is less color depth or something. I'll upload more pics soon.

EDIT:

The water looks a little bit flashier with PS3.0.

The car looks much nicer with the light bloom effects.

In the car pictures the road texture looks the same now, are you sure you didnt disable anything else when switching from ps2 to ps3?

The textures look the same on the starting line. PS2 looks better on the rest of the track.

I am gonna assume you mixed up the first two pics, cause according to how you labeled them, the PS2 one looks far better.

On the others, PS3 looks far better.

i thought i just answered this question like 2 posts ago :confused:. the pics are not mixed up. PS2 has sharper textures in this game. PS3 has more shadows and fancy effects.
