I think some games that were even in the middle of the PS2's lifespan still aged pretty well. I think Way of the Samurai was one of them, Final Fantasy X still looks fantastic to me, and series like MGS and ZOE all hold up in my opinion.

I can go on and on, because the PS2 is my favorite console.

MGS2 looks great for an 8 year old game

I THINK THE PS2 HAS DAMN AWESOME GRAPHICS FOR A 10 YEAR OLD SYSTEM.

I always thought the system came in late 2001 or early 2002, by I passed by Timesplitters which was released in October 2000 for ps2. And I was like thats not right, but ps2 was out at that time(a year after DC? Wow, Sega really shot themselves) and i think the graphcis are quite amazing for a 10 year old system,10 years!!

I still can't believe it...

I just really needed to take that off my chest, I feel better. Feel free to comment...
How old are you? Do you really not remember when the PS2 game out? It was a *slightly* major release. :roll:

I can agree with that statement, but I still think Shenmue looks awesome. It was quite funny when the PS3 was just launching and God of War 2 had just come out, man did that game put pretty much the entire launch lineup of the PS3 to shame.

I love PS2 era graphics. The current gen is starting to dip down into the uncanny valley, so despite more detailed and realistic graphics, they are starting to feel more unreal. Plus, there is too much grey and brown in modern games and not enough color.

Yes, madden games have a tendency to do that.
Lol.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad.

Well, all sports games never look like they improved the graphics.
Shadow of the Colossus was beautiful on the PS2.

Yes, it was me. But here is the difference in the posts:

1)The thread you are talking about, I used to believe that last gen. graphics are just as good as current gen graphics. If you dig older posts, you will find me saying that I can't see the difference. Plus that post , was talking about one particular game(NFS:Most Wanted), maybe this game didn't have great graphics in the first place unlike RE4

2)Factor in the 10 year difference, I think its absolutely amazing that the same hardware specs. can pull graphics like God of War and Tekken. Its Ten years! I don't think I even had broad band back in that time. I quote myself.

See, 10 year old system. Not awesome graphics , period.

If you want your Jaw drops, compare the difference between ps3 vs ps2. Then compare ps2 vs say what was new in the 1990s? PS2 vs Turbo graphics/Neo-Geo/Snes/Genesis?

Maybe now you understand how I feel.

As for the launch, we don't get launch and advertisement here+from 1998 up until like 2006 I almost stopped gaming full stop with no idea what is going on.

I am really more impressed with the hardware over specific game's graphics. I mean the same hardware that was good back in 2000, can pull some really beautiful graphics NOW. No one is impressed other than me?
