what has better graphics? PS2 or Wii?

Metriod Prime 3. Proof that artistic skill trumps hardware specs.

What, seriously? The Gamecube had better graphics than the PS2. The first two Playstations lagged behind in graphics for their generations but they generally had better game libraries and games that took much more advantage of the console.

uhh....there is only some much you can do with "artistic skill"

No Wii game compares to a lot of PS3/360 games.

In all seriousness, someone find me a Wii game that has arguably better graphics than FFXII or GT4.

All i hear is gamecube, gamecube, gamecube.

Photo mode images are taken using the game's graphic engine...

Yeah, but they're post-processed to hell and back to make them pretty....not indicative of actual graphics while racing, i.e. you can't use photo mode shots in your argument.

No, in actual seriousness, you're a Sony shrill that will denounce any game someone proposes as being better than the two games you've named. It's pointless for anyone to answer you like you're an actual welcomed member here because we know what your retort will be before you even post it. You're incapable of a logical discussion.

Nobody here likes you and nobody likes corresponding with you. Over the past couple of weeks, I've noticed that most have started ignoring you completely, which is what I'm going to start doing. I'll even let you get the last word in and I promise to read it, but I'm not to respond to you ever again. I hope everyone else would do the same. Once you post, you're going on my ignore list.

LOL? Game cube had better graphics than the PS2?!!??!?! You must have never touched FFXII, the game leaves some current gen games to SHAME. Not to mention GT4, that thing destroyed any racing game on 360 at the time, and even still today, is the standard for driving simulation. I'll post some pics i took using the in-game camera.

P.s. I'm not talking about the cut scenes.

I'm trying to find a post of yours on this forum that isn't completely dense. You are so misinformed.

As amazing as FF12 looked, the PS2 had the least graphical capabilities of the 3 consoles of its generation. (Let's leave the Dreamcast out of this.) In raw power, the Gamecube had the highest shaded polygon performance of the 3 consoles. See Twilight Princess/Rogue Squadron/Starfox Adventures/Metroid Prime for the Gamecube. The Xbox had the most graphical effects at its disposal (lighting and shadows wise) at the time. The PS2 also came out almost 2 years before the other two so it's lesser graphical prowess is not surprising.

Lastly, how would Resident Evil 0/4 be remade on the Gamecube with better textures and more polygons than on the PS2 if the PS2 was more powerful than the Cube?

Anyway, the real argument is Wii vs PS2, which is a wash of a comparison. The Wii has roughly twice the processing power clock for clock, 3 times the RAM, and 100 mhz faster graphics chipset than the Gamecube. (Plus I'm sure all these architectures have lots of more optimizations so the whole story can't be told by numbers.) See Super Mario Galaxy 1/2, Twilight Princess, Conduit, etc.


The thing is, I think artistic styles were more inspired during the previous console generation. Take a look at Timesplitters or something, you can certainly see that the polygon count was less than say, Goldeneye that's coming out for the Wii. If you look very closely, you'll see that Goldeneye Wii is obviously pushing more numbers, the faces are modeled complete with noses and eyebrows, clearer textures, better lighting...but at the time TS 1/2/3 was more impressive.

If only they released an HD Wii already with an updated graphics chipset that can render at 720p and add 2x AA to everything, the visuals of the Wii wouldn't look as outdated as it does, but technically, yes the PS2 is less powerful than the Wii and even the Gamecube.

ummm, i already did, in the 2nd post in this thread.

mario galaxy has better graphics than both ffxii and gt4.

also, uncharted 2 cutscenes are also rendered with the ingame engine, just as the gt4 photo mode is, however that still doesn't mean it is real time. there is tons of post processing that is done to it.

seriously you should just leave these forums, as stated by pertusone, nobody likes you. you contribute absolutely nothing but trollage and fanboyism.

You better watch out, he might start using RED TEXT.

Kirby Epic Yarn.

btw, Gamecube games are Wii games.

bbtw, GT4 graphics fail completely. lack of damage modeling in a driving simulator is like a fps where the dead don't fall down.
