It's definitely an easily noticeable improvement. Just compare the Quake 4 and Rage screenshots while hiding the CoD screens, or vice versa. The difference is monumental.D.D.D. wrote:The difference in textures and geometry is pretty big. Not huge like on the PC but a big difference nonetheless.

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

King's Field:
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Super Mario Bros. (NES):
Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES):
In 7 years difference, there really isn't a huge difference in the pics posted before for this generation. It seems like nitpicking to me.
Obviously textures and facial features and such have gotten better, but not by a huge leap like most consoles.

The irony. A post on a retro gaming website about a console generation lasting too long.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

King's Field? The graphics there don't even compare with prior PC software-only 3D engines. At least you could have used Ridge Racer.

Okay, I could have. But it still doesn't hold a candle to RE3. So the point still stands. I chose King's Field because I'm a huge fan and it sticks out as a launch title in my mind.Zing wrote:King's Field? The graphics there don't even compare with prior PC software-only 3D engines.

King's Field wasn't a launch title... but it was still a good example of early graphics versus later ones.BurningDoom wrote: Okay, I could have. But it still doesn't hold a candle to RE3.
