The longest video we've ever published- enjoy! We just wanted to take a stroll down memory lane and enjoy the games that pushed graphical limits. Also P.S you guys are the best.
Watching all the console starting sequences brought back some good memories. It even reminded of when you would sit there in anticipation, hoping that the disc you put in would work.
As a PC gamer, I think Sony really knows how to engineer a console and use the hardware to the best of its abilities. Uncharted and The Last of Us are some of the best looking graphics I've seen on a game for their time. And the new Uncharted looks phenomenal. And I could care less if it's 30 or 60 fps. Uncharted is so good I can look past performance issues. That's why I bought a PS4. I like Sony's gaming philosophy. They give their studios the backing to produce epic exclusives. They invest the money necessary. And I like Sony's executives' demeanor and attitude towards gaming. And look at some of their games. Horizon Zero Dawn. That gameplay looks phenomenal and the music in the trailer had me looking for the soundtrack online (which isn't out). And take Journey and Flower. My little 6 year old niece is a master at Flower. That's what a PS4 is to me. It's more than 60 fps at 1080p.
Vic Vinegar You're not a pc gamer if you think immersion is limited to graphics. I could make a game that runs at 1fps 2k frostbite engine, doesn't mean it's an impressive game. The ps4 is far from good, that shit wasnt even impressive in 2013 and now it's 2015. Peasant.
kjwgaming Because people didn't know what frame rate and resolution was... and "fun" was the main and only reason why games used to be played. Now that everyone knows what is, people worries more about keep the eye on the frame rate numbers than the game itself, this is ridiculous.
+Vaennor Walker if your game slows down or looks too ugly and mushy wouldn't you be pissed? 60 fps for an fps LOOKS WAY BETTER THAN 30 when it comes to natural instinct of movement.
Christopher Johnson Today, yes, back on PS1 and PS2 days, nope. i don't really remember getting upset or even noticing frame rates. Actually, Shadow of the Colossus was one of the best games i've ever played, and it runs like shit on PS2 with 20fps, but only now i've found out about this, back on 2006 i had no idea about this and didn't even noticed...
kjwgaming I was there and on the internet back then. Oh yeah, we complained. Let's not glamorize the olden days. People thought Final Fantasy 7 looked like shit, when it was new. "Pre Rendered" graphics were frowned upon, FMV was seen as a marketing gimmick to sell games and not as authentic as in game cutscenes. What was better, PS jaggies or N64 antialiasing? Complaining was had by all at all times. It's what we do as humans. (even complain about the complainers)
+thecrusher141 Without PC gamers there wouldn't be any current console games. Console gamers are overpricing uneducated people. 400-500$ for barely 30fps. Lmao.
Tri Born PC gamers arent assholes. It's just that console gamers became so dumb with this generation, they assume everything PC gamers says is bullshit, and they are assholes. The fact that a person plays with a PC makes him more educated and clever in gaming. He doesn't waste money, he knows hardware, and knows games from both PC and consoles very well. PC gamers were and never will be assholes. As a former console gamer I remember myself insulting PC gamers and spreading ignorance about stuff I had no idea about. I though they are assholes, but it was me and my fellow console peasants actualy.
OMG I "started" playing with the PS2 and that loading screen at 5:20 brought back sooooooo many memories.... holy sh*t.... I totally forgot about that :D
Isiah plays me too bro! I keep telling and begging for my dad to get a new one when he has enough money. But the lighting is so bad for me! Especially on Cod. Or is it supposed to do that? I dunno
PsYcHo4MuFfInS yeeeess the nostalgia is REAL...i play PC now but just remembering that sound..it almost made me cry tears of joy...so good, so may good memories........and i also sat there re-playing the ps3 sound too
tristan0312ify . While there is improvement going from 3-4, I think we are hitting diminishing returns, and it will take huge hardware improvements to see moderate improvement in graphics.
Look at the graphics to say Twisted Metal Black for the PS2 in 2001 when the PS2 just came out then look at games only 5 years older and look how much the graphics have improved
Some that I remember, that you didn't mention; *PS1*; Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy VII, VIII & IX. *PS2*; FFXII. *PS3*; Heavy Rain, Beyond; Two Souls, Dead Space, Unreal Tournament 3, Skyrim, Crysis 2 & Tomb Raider. *PS4*; GTAV, Battlefield Hardline, Alien; Isolation & MGS _(but the latter wasn't released when this video was)._
+Ashley Small dude, battlefield hardline (better known as battlefield cod) is very bad graphically speaking. I think that bf3 on ps3 is way more impressive than hardline on pc at ultra settings. Really. P.s. I have both ps3 and a pc
NaXter24R Hey NaX. I personally lean more towards Hardline for it's smoother, less realistic style. I don't know, I'm weird, but I like it because it's _clean?_
Well the PS2 version looked awful compared to the gamecube so it makes sense it isnt included here even if it was one of the best looking games of that generation
Just gonna skip over Gran Turismo 3 on the PS2, when everyone lost their shit at how much of an improvement it was over GT2? Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PS3 with all of these little details that made this game look absolutely insane for an early PS3 game? Also GTA V on the PS3, which looked so much better over GTA IV even when they were on the same console and somehow still included so many more features and ran a lot smoother at such a consistent rate? And also DriveClub on PS4, that boasts weather effects that rival even the most demanding games on the PC? Nah. It's k.
+keuldude95 I'm all for people playing on whatever platform they choose but no, Driveclub does not boast weather effects that rival the most demanding games on PC rofl.
I didn't even know what frames per second was until about a month ago when a pc gamer came to my house and said my ps4 frames per second sucks and I asked what is that. Now I feel bad because my frames per second isn't high but it doesn't matter...as long as I get to play the game I am happy.
Bdobbinsftw actually kind of enlightened me on this subject graphics aren't everything, but they really do contribute to gameplay. As the human race becomes more intelligent and more used to realism, it becomes harder to put ourselves in the shoes of whatever character we're playing. The worse the graphics look, the harder it is to suspend our disbelief and get immersed in the game. By having good graphics, a game is allowing the user to fully enjoy the gameplay. In other words, we aren't complaining because we want better graphics. We're complaining because we want to be able to fully immerse ourselves in the beautiful world a game has created for us without our brains telling us "this isn't real, stop getting immersed" every five seconds.
***** but as a race, we're used to seeing more realistic stuff. Now that we're used to video games and special effects that look like real life, its harder to be immersed in the older stuff. A horror game with Minecraft graphics would never be nearly as immersive as one with actually decent graphics. period. graphics do matter. Not as much as gameplay, but they matter. you don't seem to understand the concept of immersion. If you can get immersed in FF7, good for you, but you're in the minority. Most people subconsciously realize the game is not real. If you can trick your subconscious into thinking its real, via realistic graphics and plot, familiar concepts, etc, then you're immersed.
***** want some evidence? look at games like Battlefield and Call of Duty. the two most popular series on the market right now. brilliant graphics. Their marketing campaigns and gameplay are based around realism(or were, in the case of CoD, which has been declining ever since it went futuristic and unrealistic) and putting the you in the shoes of a footsoldier. Hard to love a game without being immersed. Notice Dragon Quest's sales are super low compared to those AAA games. You don't seem to understand the human brain. Its science. Its way easier to suspend your disbelief, and therefore become immersed, if the setting and experience is realistic and believable. The science and the numbers are against you, but sure, I'm just projecting.
I know right? That used to give me nightmares. I think it was just due to the music being quite echoed or something. But let me tell you, booting that thing up at 4am in the morning, while everyone was asleep, was the most scariest thing ever.
The sad thing is, should something come out that doesn't compete with the next gen look, people are less likely to buy it. We're getting these problems because we have been spoiled.
But to be honest, most games with the lack of creativity in the gameplay department you speak of are shooters. Everything else gameplay wise I'd say is doing great. I mean, look at the Souls games.
Daniel Casasbuenas yeah i only see weak gameplay from fps. Gameplay is pretty good, we're Just seeing rushed unfinished games with downgraded graphics too often.
WarByte In all seriousness its graphics are actually quite good, it has an art style which is very unique (not counting all the clones) and the world is massive and fully destructible which was unseen before hand and on top of that it has lead to a wave of a new genre of games which surrounds creativity, survival and new player made content. And it still has one of the biggest communities in gaming history and is still increasing in popularity even though its been around since 2009 which most other games from that time have started to die off. I don't play minecraft (I got bored back in beta) but I still see it as being a pinnacle of modern gaming even if it is just cubes.
yea mayn I liek meking husez and stuf the geam luks beyutifal pls mincreft pls This is what I would imagine a random 8 year old, with the rest of 90% of kids who play it would say.
"Nu butt srsly bruh meincraet is the bestset be cuz all of the muensares!!!! XD" But honestly, the only reason I got Minecraft was to practice my designing and decorating, because someday I plan to be a architect.
+Pais You have a point, however I think Sims would be a much better game for that, even though it's super old and not many people play it anymore. The reason I got Minecraft was to get a skin. Man, back in the pirated Minecraft community, skins were the HYPE! xD
Missdevil666 fucking me , how can i forget the hours at trying to complete all the level , or even searching for a secret over every corner , that game , with crash bandicoot 3 and bash made my childhood
As a kid when it came out. As a teenager when it was a PS1 classic on the ps3, and now that it’s come out remastered when I get it I’ll check off as an adult.
dacasman Man its like people never even heard of that game. Big ass explosions, loud ass guns, my first FPS, and first game on PS2 when i came to the US.
Taseen Khan games aren't that good really. but they do look amazing, so im not sure why they aren't mentioned. especially shadowfall. that game is gorgeous.
The first Killzone was a great game, but after getting the whole trilogy on PS3, I realized it's controls were pretty... fidgety. And pacing was pretty slow. But 2, 3 and SF were great. I'd say they're better than Halo.
Taseen Khan Well I know what you mean about the controls, but honestly I believe they were designed that way for a reason, to give weight to movement and actions, unlike its floaty counterpart halo. I hands down prefer the style of killzone to most other shooters, and I believe the story, level design, character development and voice acting are so much better than in Halo. But then again, fanboys. I think it depends what they do in the next game, because so far a lot of my Halo friends have decided they are quite bored with the series and aren't really looking forward to the new one. We all played Killzone 3 and they went nuts about how good it was. Also, I hate to say it, but I prefer the online experience, boils down really to the map and objective design.
+badboy51826 Hideo Kojima left the company,& Konami felt they couldn't do anything without him,so they canceled Silent Hills & pulled P.T. from the store,as well as severing any ties with him.The only reason MGS V wasn't canceled as well was because it was nearly complete.Personally,I feel uncertain about Konami's future.
Solid Serpent The game wouldn't exist without the fox engine...at least not the one we've seen or played in Ground Zeros. Engines are the foundation and the metal rods that the cement (game/graphics/story) is plastered around.
+Andrew Ryan Or even Arkham Asylum? It still looks fantastic, and it pushed what the PS3 games were looking like for the rest of the generation, despite the fact that it came out in fairly early on during the reign of the PS3 & X360.
True Pride Ratchet and Clank didn't have much going on graphically, did it? It's hard for me to remember. Loved the Uncharted games, I believe the second one was just coming out when Arkham Asylum was released. I think they were about equal in terms of graphic quality, although Uncharted had a lot more going on in terms of particle and weather effects, water, and so on. Batman was more on polygon count and texture quality if memory serves. Both extremely impressive series in their own right.
Sammy Ariel If watching this video made you want to buy a PS4, you need to think about what you want from video games. If you want to look at pretty pictures and colours, go to a fucking art museum.
I already wanted to buy a PS4 but this just teased me with examples of greatness. Uncharted 4 will not be available on PS3 & a tonne of other new games. However I do appreciate the 'prettiness' & graphics too; I happen to like art & games. It is sad if you do not appreciate the quality
i remember when my older brother got a ps2 and final fantasy10. me being a kid and still playing the N64. When i saw final fantasy 10 for the first time, I was asolutely mind blown at how insane i thought the graphics were
+Watermelon Juice (A.K.A Melon's Cousin) Can you say what is better on consoles? Also I have a graphics card that is from 2008-9. The ati 5870, or the 260x in todays market. This graphics card is as powerful as the Xbox One, and a little bit weaker than the PS4. So his point is valid. A graphics card from 2008 that now costs ~$100 is equivalent to the next gen consoles.
+Watermelon Juice (A.K.A Melon's Cousin) You literally just evaded the question. They asked you how consoles are superior to PC and you haven't proven one thing towards that claim. A PC can do anything a console can but better and cheaper in many cases. I'm not here to argue semantics or anything because I own both but I know where my loyalties lie when it comes to true performance and an overall experience. Hint: it's not on a console. Don't get so hyped up on trying to destroy those elitist douchebags (who don't do our community justice) and become completely delusional. For the most part, a PC is superior to consoles. Consoles have a more convenient use and there's nothing wrong with owning one, but stop trying to make excuses for why you don't own a PC or how, in some magical way, consoles provide some entertainment value that PC cannot. At this point in time, right now, that is how things stand. Stop with the nonsensical ramblings of delusion please. It's nauseatingly stupid. You can play whatever tf you want. Idk how old you are but I'm an adult and last time I checked this was a free country. The Master Race was a defensive mechanism PC gamers used to fend off h8trs but now has turned into some elitist PC "Klan". Their opinions don't matter. Play how you want m8. Cheers
+Kaos Ruin yeah easier to use is the only one I can think of. I own a Wii because it's an excellent party machine, thinking of getting a WiiU if I can stop buying these delicious biscuits at the shop next door. My PC can handle just about everything you throw at it and it's not even an expensive machine.
I missed Burnout 2 and MGS3. When Burnout 2 came out people went bonkers because the engine could manage both racing and crashing beautifully. Something that nobody thought was possible before because it was so contradicting. And when MGS3 came people went bonkers again saying "Look at all that jungle! The grass! The Leafs!". The graphics are still nuts for being a PS2-game.
***** Hey if you can decode this i'll give you a hug PS You missed the Hey if you can decode this i'll give you a hug PS You missed the arkham games ;( I'm a computer technician... I know how to use binarytranslator.com
5 years old, and frankly the flow/editing of the script with the top-notch narration is still an example of how to make an "evolution" or "historical" youtube video and IT BE ENJOYABLE.
No Battlefield? I think Battlefield 4 is the most realistic console game to date. You also failed to mention GTA 5 and Star Wars Battlefront once it comes out.
Captain Black He skipped star wars cause its not realistic, they made it a bit cartoonish. Don't get me wrong, I am hyped for it and it looks georgeous, but it isn't the most realistic
Captain Black Yeah, no. BattleField 4 already looks outdated. Sure, it's not BAD looking, but take a look at Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, whic came out one year after. Or The Last OF Us, which came out the same year, and is still a bloody masterpiece.
Grand Theft Auto V is the prime example of what can be achieved with the previous gen hardware and it's somehow missing from this. The Last Of Us is a better game but GTA V is the pinnacle of Rockstar's graphical showcase, all the tricks they used in previous games were there in GTA V. It still has, to this day, the best lighting system in gaming and the amount of detail Rockstar was able to put in the game just by texture work alone should be enough to make GTA V a highlight on this list. To me, and taking its size into account, it's the best looking game of the last generation, even better than TLOU.
sonicadv27 It actually deserved a spot instead of San Andreas because that game sacrificed both graphics and performance for scale. Vice City ran way better and was prettier.
sonicadv27 I feel San Andreas still deserved it's spot though. So they should have had both games. After all, GTA V is much better than San Andreas. (Though I've seen way to many nostalgia-blind fanboys who disagree.)
PC Nation If you were 5 I'm sure you have at least some nostalgia. I personally love San Andreas, but GTA V is just SO much better in my eyes. I respect your opinion though.
Tomb Raider 1-5, Resident Evil 1-3, Dino Crisis 1 and Metal Gear Solid is my childhood. Still playing old good games. Sadly I know each corner in these games. :D
If you could, I would you do a video on PC and Xbox? just curious to see how far they have come... Tho to be honest I never played on an Xbox but I still think it would be cool. You could also do one for nintendo's handhelds but I wouldn't do one for the consoles since they have been behind or just getting there them selves most of the time.
PsychoticProphet MGS 4 was so amazing! it still holds up to current gen in many aspects and it was at the beginning of PS3's life cycle Hideo Kojima is a fucking GOD
PsychoticProphet I was actually thinking the same. And also MGS 5 nails in terms of lighting and i think a bit in sound effect. When i played the Ground Zeroes mission(night time) it just feels an immersive experience.
CD3 except for the fact that we are propelling the gaming industry forward with the more open and accessable platform for new developers to let their games and skills shine and all consoles are doing are introducing DLCs because the manufacturers of the consoles loose money in production so they stick it to the devs to pick up the price. You are the guys ruining serious gaming.
ImTotallyTechy So, by gaming on a console, people are ruining serious gaming, is that what your saying? Woah man, not everyone is a serious gamer, what happened to games being fun. Don't fucking scapegoat an entire genre of users just because its ruining 'SERIOUS GAMING."
+CD3 I acutally did say that it is ruining serious gaming. Serious gaming is taking a hit. Casual gaming is still staying afloat but it is still at a risk. I dont remember me saying that "everyone is a serious gamer" and that "games arent fun", im just saying that I am fucking done buying a $60 game and then being hit with $120 of addon content because the game devs have to make money back.
Crash Bandicoot (1996)? Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009)? Heavy Rain (2010)? Tomb Raider (2013)? I'm mostly surprised that The Vanishing of Ethan Carter didn't get a shout out, but then again, it did recently get ported over to PS4 and may have been overlooked. Thanks for all the nostalgic feels~
Take Shadow of the colossus as an example. Does it have revolutionary graphics ? No. Does it even have good graphics ? Nope. It is a great game because of setting, gameplay, atmosphere, color pallete (which doesn't equal graphics), but not because of graphics. Low res tiled textures, polygony models, poor particle effects. This video is not about style or atmosphere, it's about GRAPHICS.
Moonsbro Truth brother. When I first saw Gameplay of GZ I thought it was a live-action cutscene and was blown away when I realized it was the game being played and still looking so realistic!
Apparently, the maker of the video failed to realize that Need for Speed Most Wanted IS an open world game. The races were closed off with barriers just to keep it structured but the environment itself is open world.
I have a pc with an i7 6700k and a gtx 1080. I play everything maxed at 2k, but I STILL think uncharted 4 has the best graphics I've ever seen. (Especially the ending beach house part.) Also P.T was an amazing looking ps4 title. (R.I.P)
PS3 to PS4 isn't as big of a change as PS1 to PS2 or PS2 to PS3. You can talk about specs, and go on about how the hardware has blah blah and blah. But at the end of the day, I think we are reaching a point where it looks as real as it is going to get.
Fun Fact: Tomb Raider was originally planned for release only on Sega Saturn, but jumped ship to PlayStation after the game's creator was convinced by his co-workers that it would sell better on a more mainstream console
reduced fat ice cream is just denial for fat people Which is the reason the first Tomb Raider looks like garbage on the Playstation with an extremely short draw distance and awkward warping textures, although it does run at a higher framerate than the Saturn version.
No yet, for you and myself, I still play on my PS2, like scarface, shrek 2, GTA San Andreas, NFS Underground and others 22 games more. But on Black Friday I'm gonna buy the PS4 so... PS2 will rest in peace!:(
Excellent video. Regarding the inclusion of Madden/PS2, I found the 2K series having the better character models and animations with the ESPN swansong game (2005?) being a graphic high water mark at the time, especially when playing first person (although the reviews at the time had Madden as the deeper football game in comparison). I wonder if anyone familiar with both series has a similar memory.
Jameson Koolio lol sure they are buddy ?v=xBeF9E9uF1I Nobody denies that a high end PC has waaaay better graphics than this gen of consoles, but don't exaggerate, it makes you look dumb
Where in the video did he mention PC gaming? Nowhere. Why do people even comment on videos like this mentioning stuff thats not even related to the topic? Just makes them seem like jackasses.
Jameson Koolio bro. something running on higher fps and resolution doesn't change the graphics themselves. the games still look exactly the same from pc to console. the character models look the same, the environments look the same. its all the same, because its the same fucking game with the same technology used to code and develop it. higher res and fps looks a ton better, but it doesn't change physically the graphics of the games in any way
eddierios831 I think you're right. Since uncharted is a exclusive it is very likely that they won't need to downgrade, because they don't have hardware limitations of other platforms to worry about. Battlefront on the other hand will also get releases on XBone and PC. This will make it extremely likely that every cinematic that has been rendered and every bit of gameplay that was shown was built upon a very high-end PC. Therefor, to make it more usable for consumer-grade pc's and the consoles they will likely come out with lower resolution textures and distance rendering. They just use this tactic to get the croud hyped for these extremely beautifull graphics the average gamer will never see.
KFC Crispy OG niether of them will im not a playstation fan but i dont think that they'll downgrade uncharted and if they do it'll probably be some particle or lighting effects.
MeatheadMan i dont agree with you about its just a tactic to get the crowd hyped but i do agree with the fact that the resolution will get downgrade but not by much because the ps4 and xbone are powerful consoles and their not making it for last gen so if ther is a downgrade expect it to be resolution, particle and lighting affects.
ghostrider 2812 So exactly what i said. But you are wrong about the severity of the downgrade. Nowadays, when a company shows off their newest graphical masterpiece, they are set on showing the most beautiful version. This can only be achieved by using the most powerfull PC that could be put together using consumer components. Not any normal consumer can afford this überpowerd PC, and the consoles in this generation are about as powerfull as medium- to high end PC's. And Uncharted would get the least amount of downgrade because they will need to show it on the PS4, therefor they'll need to go with the best achievable resolutions and particles that the PS4 can handle.

No Killzone 2? That visually blew everything away when it released.
I think even PS3s graphics on GTAV were awesome when it launched! That's how hyped I was to play it.. I've played about 100+ hours only free roaming and online and din't play singleplayer 'cause I waited to get it on PC.. man was that a long wait!!!!!!!!
Consoles are still lacking behind the PC and I'm not saying this to talk shit about consoles but what's annoying me is that it DRAGS down the PC graphics as many publishers decide to downgrade a game's graphics (which includes the PC graphics) because the consoles just can't do it as of yet.
***** I agree, i love console too (PS), but i prefer my computer. I mean, at least they kinda upgrade/patch it out for pc gamers, for ex: in GTA 5. the graphics on pc are 100 times better, but youre right, it could be even better. Uncharted 4 tho... Fcking dayummm
***** Don't know which games you play on PC, but I never had this problem. True, I only use my PC for first person shooters/PC exclusives and consoles for everything else, but the stuff I played on PC always looked if not better then at least as good as it did on consoles.
that's just the natue of multiplat games, well at least some of it yeah consoles holds down graphics on PC? never believed that. the real problem is majority of ppl that still use a mid or mid high spec pc or even lower than that coz nowdays, userbase is always the number 1 thing on game publishing rather than quality. if lots of ppl decide to go high-end then devs would no longer make the consoles as their main priority and there would be no longer hold ups on multiplat games. well im not an expert at this really, just an opinion and all
That's not true at all. Games like Watch Dogs and The Witcher 3 looked "better" when they were first revealed because the devs overdone the early demos. Just like how Ubisoft did for all their games before (like Far Cry 3, Ghost Recon etc.). This "downgrade" thingy doesn't actually exist.
This is a great video guys but I gotta say I noticed some stuff being cut. Sentences that just cut off mid way though an apparently an entire section about Arkham Asylum before Journey that was commented on but never seen. Just saying a good video but could use some more editing.
Random Default The PSOne had Hardware the was newer and a lot smaller so they could fit it in a smaller case with slight performance boosts and bug fixed.
I still own one. But half of my games went missing so these days I only play every now and then because the other half of my games, I've played too many times.
how is that even possible? like, newer graphics are objectively better. more realistic, more colorful, more effects. its not really up for debate... maybe they were more surprising or groundbreaking for their time, but that time is gone.
Candaş Ağır That can't be true, newer graphics are superior in every way, in polygons, resolution, picture quality, animations, facial expressions etc. When you say they aren't,it's nostalgia and not truth that's speaking
I agree, new gen has better graphics without a doubt, PS2 graphics were great for their time, and still is good and playable today, but there's no way it's better than PS4, it's just not possible.
Crysis and Battlfield's graphics and the way in which bullets and explosions interacted with the world just blew my mind the first time I played them. I was surprised not to see them here
Uncharted 4 looks like shit,greatly downgraded, it actually looks like Tomb raider 2013 graphics ! i like this video so much but the at the end you proved that you are a fanboy
R7 260X VS Next Gen Games I think you're just a xbox fan. Which is fine, but you can't say that uncharted 4 looks shit. It was one of the best looking games that were shown at E3
exactely, it "was" the best looking games that were shown back at the e3, now it look different if you watched the latest gameplay. i'm no fanboy and i don't own an xbox, i'm just a simple observer, it's really not that hard to realize that they downgraded the visuals in the game.
R7 260X VS Next Gen Games I don't care what console you have, but I know naughty dog from The Last of Us and previous games and they're not the company who downgrades their games, but I guess we'll see when the game comes out. I still wouldn't go as far as calling it shit looking. It will look much better then most of the current games.
if your pc cost that much, you are doing something wrong, my pc cost ~£400 and it can run gtav at 45-60 fps on high-ultra graphics. It is a performance taxing game though as i do get fps drops a lot more on gtav than other games. GTA IV should run even better as it is an older game. Make sure you have your drivers all up to date and overclock your hardware, that should improve your hardware, but you probably bought the wrong stuff to start off with.
I would've mentioned "Silent Hill 3" in 2003. It had one of the most detailed character models of that generation + extremely creepy and detailed locations with blood floating while you running through the location.
The longest video we've ever published- enjoy! We just wanted to take a stroll down memory lane and enjoy the games that pushed graphical limits.
Also P.S you guys are the best.
You forgot GTA 4 and 5
You guys deserve more subscribers...
gameranx AC Unity look't amazing, mostley the skin of caracters.
Watching all the console starting sequences brought back some good memories. It even reminded of when you would sit there in anticipation, hoping that the disc you put in would work.
gameranx The loading sound of the PS1 just made so many memories flood back. Now I'm happy and sad...damn you for playing with my emotions gameranx!
Rest in peace PSP :(
+Azurith gone but not forgotten.
+Azurith I still use it.
+Azurith lol osu.
+GamerABC phhhhh
+Azurith i still use it
As a PC gamer, I think Sony really knows how to engineer a console and use the hardware to the best of its abilities. Uncharted and The Last of Us are some of the best looking graphics I've seen on a game for their time. And the new Uncharted looks phenomenal. And I could care less if it's 30 or 60 fps. Uncharted is so good I can look past performance issues. That's why I bought a PS4. I like Sony's gaming philosophy. They give their studios the backing to produce epic exclusives. They invest the money necessary. And I like Sony's executives' demeanor and attitude towards gaming. And look at some of their games. Horizon Zero Dawn. That gameplay looks phenomenal and the music in the trailer had me looking for the soundtrack online (which isn't out). And take Journey and Flower. My little 6 year old niece is a master at Flower. That's what a PS4 is to me. It's more than 60 fps at 1080p.
Vic Vinegar You're not a pc gamer if you think immersion is limited to graphics. I could make a game that runs at 1fps 2k frostbite engine, doesn't mean it's an impressive game. The ps4 is far from good, that shit wasnt even impressive in 2013 and now it's 2015. Peasant.
Gaben .gaben lol
Vic Vinegar Knew you weren't a pc gamer.
Gaben .gaben I'm not even going to entertain this stupid shit.
Vic Vinegar You still have less internet likes then me. If anything i'm wasting my time on you
No mention of Gran Turismo 4? A 1080i PS2 game?
I was looking for this comment. They royally screwed the pooch by not including GT4.
Matthew VandenBerg yep
these 1080i looked like trash
I can't believe they missed GT4
They missed out Metal Gear Solid 3 which was one of the best looking PS2 games.
It's crazy how when you used to play on the ps1 no one would complain about graphics
Now all people do is complain, meh
kjwgaming Because people didn't know what frame rate and resolution was... and "fun" was the main and only reason why games used to be played.
Now that everyone knows what is, people worries more about keep the eye on the frame rate numbers than the game itself, this is ridiculous.
+Vaennor Walker if your game slows down or looks too ugly and mushy wouldn't you be pissed? 60 fps for an fps LOOKS WAY BETTER THAN 30 when it comes to natural instinct of movement.
Christopher Johnson Today, yes, back on PS1 and PS2 days, nope.
i don't really remember getting upset or even noticing frame rates.
Actually, Shadow of the Colossus was one of the best games i've ever played, and it runs like shit on PS2 with 20fps, but only now i've found out about this, back on 2006 i had no idea about this and didn't even noticed...
yes but remember where 60 is needed it is fucking needed, fighting games, racing games, first person shooters. ext
kjwgaming I was there and on the internet back then. Oh yeah, we complained. Let's not glamorize the olden days. People thought Final Fantasy 7 looked like shit, when it was new. "Pre Rendered" graphics were frowned upon, FMV was seen as a marketing gimmick to sell games and not as authentic as in game cutscenes. What was better, PS jaggies or N64 antialiasing? Complaining was had by all at all times. It's what we do as humans. (even complain about the complainers)
I remember having nightmares about Playstation 2's loading screen.
+TheRamboPenguin haha, its creepy
Omg I DID TOO!!!!!
+TheRamboPenguin The loading screen? THE DISC ERROR SCREEN
i thougd i was the only one!!!!!! omfggggg
+WH250398 that creeps me out to this day XD
*sigh*
Back then, pc gamers aren't assholes.
+thecrusher141 Without PC gamers there wouldn't be any current console games. Console gamers are overpricing uneducated people. 400-500$ for barely 30fps. Lmao.
+Giedrius911G I think you missed his point.
Tri Born
I didn't. I mean, PC gamers have that right to tell the truth, which, for peasant minds sounds idiotic, because they aren't educated.
+Giedrius911G His comment was about how PC gamers turned into assholes and you're offending all console gamers right away lol
Tri Born
PC gamers arent assholes. It's just that console gamers became so dumb with this generation, they assume everything PC gamers says is bullshit, and they are assholes. The fact that a person plays with a PC makes him more educated and clever in gaming. He doesn't waste money, he knows hardware, and knows games from both PC and consoles very well. PC gamers were and never will be assholes. As a former console gamer I remember myself insulting PC gamers and spreading ignorance about stuff I had no idea about. I though they are assholes, but it was me and my fellow console peasants actualy.
i miss the original intro of the Playstation 1. I always liked that melody
Comic Book Man same
Comic Book Man agree
The red thing used to be scary for me
OMG I "started" playing with the PS2 and that loading screen at 5:20 brought back sooooooo many memories.... holy sh*t.... I totally forgot about that :D
I was 5 or 6 when I got a ps2 but the original PlayStation boot sequence sent a shiver up my spine damn that was an amazing time
Isiah plays me too bro! I keep telling and begging for my dad to get a new one when he has enough money. But the lighting is so bad for me! Especially on Cod. Or is it supposed to do that? I dunno
Isiah plays Cool! I didn't know that. Only if they have it. Other than that, that's pretty cool! Thanks man! ;)
PsYcHo4MuFfInS yeeeess the nostalgia is REAL...i play PC now but just remembering that sound..it almost made me cry tears of joy...so good, so may good memories........and i also sat there re-playing the ps3 sound too
I felt the exact same thing. The ps2 was the only thing I had when I was little, and even then my older bro gave it to me when he moved out.
i personally think ps2 got the biggest upgrade in graphics.
I feel like the PS3 was and the PS4 was the least
Best console of all times. When every week good games were coming out and when you walk into game stop and there be like 20 people in there
tristan0312ify . While there is improvement going from 3-4, I think we are hitting diminishing returns, and it will take huge hardware improvements to see moderate improvement in graphics.
Look at the graphics to say Twisted Metal Black for the PS2 in 2001 when the PS2 just came out then look at games only 5 years older and look how much the graphics have improved
PS2 to PS3 was the biggest change of all in my opinion.
Some that I remember, that you didn't mention;
*PS1*; Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy VII, VIII & IX.
*PS2*; FFXII.
*PS3*; Heavy Rain, Beyond; Two Souls, Dead Space, Unreal Tournament 3, Skyrim, Crysis 2 & Tomb Raider.
*PS4*; GTAV, Battlefield Hardline, Alien; Isolation & MGS _(but the latter wasn't released when this video was)._
+Ashley Small battlefield hard line um *cough* *cough*
william driscoll-geeves Subjective.
+Ashley Small dude, battlefield hardline (better known as battlefield cod) is very bad graphically speaking. I think that bf3 on ps3 is way more impressive than hardline on pc at ultra settings. Really. P.s. I have both ps3 and a pc
NaXter24R Hey NaX. I personally lean more towards Hardline for it's smoother, less realistic style. I don't know, I'm weird, but I like it because it's _clean?_
+william driscoll-geeves BF Hardline half ass game
You Forgot about resident evil 4 - 2004 One of the best games
indeed, I played it on the GameCube tho
Well the PS2 version looked awful compared to the gamecube so it makes sense it isnt included here even if it was one of the best looking games of that generation
That playstation 1 intro is STILL the best one out there, anyone who says otherwise is a fool.
PowerfulLighting I agree the Playstation and Sega Saturn are my favorite intros of all time.
Yes
PowerfulLighting I put that into sound into my phone's text sound.
PowerfulLighting I agree, except I read that as "anyone who says otherwise is a foot." haha
***** fuck you
It may not be a full game, but PT deserved a spot. It is the closest thing to photo realism i think were ever gunna get
You really think that PT is the best thing we're ever gonna get this gen? It looks amazing, but something's gonna top it.
Madberty they cut production of it so we will never get to see it.
Jack Stevens I know, I'm talking about PT specifically. Don't know why you brought that up.
Madberty sorry I guess I assumed you didn't know about its cancelation. My bad.
Jack Stevens it's okay, I was just confused why you mentioned that.
Just gonna skip over Gran Turismo 3 on the PS2, when everyone lost their shit at how much of an improvement it was over GT2? Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PS3 with all of these little details that made this game look absolutely insane for an early PS3 game? Also GTA V on the PS3, which looked so much better over GTA IV even when they were on the same console and somehow still included so many more features and ran a lot smoother at such a consistent rate? And also DriveClub on PS4, that boasts weather effects that rival even the most demanding games on the PC?
Nah. It's k.
+keuldude95 there's no way we could get every game in this and make everyone happy. But those are great suggestions, thank you. GT3 was a HUGE deal.
I think you mean Gta 5 on PC not ps3
+Cameron Burnett I didn't know that PC is part of PlayStation now.
+gameranx It's fine. I just would've expected those since they were the most obvious ones in my opinion.
+keuldude95 I'm all for people playing on whatever platform they choose but no, Driveclub does not boast weather effects that rival the most demanding games on PC rofl.
I got so much nostalgia. I was raised on ps2
the sounds of the ps1 and ps2 start up brought me back to when i was a kid
Me too
TheFinickyFox agreed
miss those moments when nobody cares about frame per second and high resolution
Exactly. I miss when it was all about having fun and not caring about graphics
I didn't even know what frames per second was until about a month ago when a pc gamer came to my house and said my ps4 frames per second sucks and I asked what is that. Now I feel bad because my frames per second isn't high but it doesn't matter...as long as I get to play the game I am happy.
Bdobbinsftw actually kind of enlightened me on this subject
graphics aren't everything, but they really do contribute to gameplay. As the human race becomes more intelligent and more used to realism, it becomes harder to put ourselves in the shoes of whatever character we're playing. The worse the graphics look, the harder it is to suspend our disbelief and get immersed in the game. By having good graphics, a game is allowing the user to fully enjoy the gameplay.
In other words, we aren't complaining because we want better graphics. We're complaining because we want to be able to fully immerse ourselves in the beautiful world a game has created for us without our brains telling us "this isn't real, stop getting immersed" every five seconds.
***** but as a race, we're used to seeing more realistic stuff. Now that we're used to video games and special effects that look like real life, its harder to be immersed in the older stuff. A horror game with Minecraft graphics would never be nearly as immersive as one with actually decent graphics. period.
graphics do matter. Not as much as gameplay, but they matter.
you don't seem to understand the concept of immersion.
If you can get immersed in FF7, good for you, but you're in the minority. Most people subconsciously realize the game is not real. If you can trick your subconscious into thinking its real, via realistic graphics and plot, familiar concepts, etc, then you're immersed.
***** want some evidence? look at games like Battlefield and Call of Duty. the two most popular series on the market right now. brilliant graphics. Their marketing campaigns and gameplay are based around realism(or were, in the case of CoD, which has been declining ever since it went futuristic and unrealistic) and putting the you in the shoes of a footsoldier.
Hard to love a game without being immersed. Notice Dragon Quest's sales are super low compared to those AAA games.
You don't seem to understand the human brain. Its science. Its way easier to suspend your disbelief, and therefore become immersed, if the setting and experience is realistic and believable.
The science and the numbers are against you, but sure, I'm just projecting.
lol when I was a kid I used to be so friggin scared of the Ps2 startup screen
Din Dun Dan The only time I was scared by it was when I would put in a game and nothing would happen because it was scratched or dirty or something
I know right? That used to give me nightmares. I think it was just due to the music being quite echoed or something. But let me tell you, booting that thing up at 4am in the morning, while everyone was asleep, was the most scariest thing ever.
Haha
me too 😂😂😂😂
Me too..
The fps game called "Black" actually looks pretty good, and it's on ps2
Yeah, I personally think of God of War II, Shadow of the Colossus and Black as the benchmark for PS2 graphics
I think I've played black
@@7heRequiem I've played God of war as well
I have played black like for 1000 hours and it is more ch better than that shit B ops 4 on my pa4
sad thing is, the graphic are going up for sure, but the gameplay is going the opposite way.
Agreed. It just depends on the company who makes the game though
The sad thing is, should something come out that doesn't compete with the next gen look, people are less likely to buy it.
We're getting these problems because we have been spoiled.
It's fucking bullshit, but it's true...
But to be honest, most games with the lack of creativity in the gameplay department you speak of are shooters. Everything else gameplay wise I'd say is doing great. I mean, look at the Souls games.
Daniel Casasbuenas yeah i only see weak gameplay from fps. Gameplay is pretty good, we're Just seeing rushed unfinished games with downgraded graphics too often.
5:22 that nostalgia...
Tuffbatman PS1 nostalgia tho
Tuffbatman PS1 nostalgia tho
Tuffbatman damn so nostagia,oh my childhood,oh all the feels,from 2003 to 2010.
Tuffbatman best console intro ever
Tuffbatman 0:15 that nostalgia
I personally think that Minecraft is the absolute pinnacle of gaming graphics.
WarByte In all seriousness its graphics are actually quite good, it has an art style which is very unique (not counting all the clones) and the world is massive and fully destructible which was unseen before hand and on top of that it has lead to a wave of a new genre of games which surrounds creativity, survival and new player made content. And it still has one of the biggest communities in gaming history and is still increasing in popularity even though its been around since 2009 which most other games from that time have started to die off.
I don't play minecraft (I got bored back in beta) but I still see it as being a pinnacle of modern gaming even if it is just cubes.
yea mayn I liek meking husez and stuf
the geam luks beyutifal
pls mincreft

This is what I would imagine a random 8 year old, with the rest of 90% of kids who play it would say.
"Nu butt srsly bruh meincraet is the bestset be cuz all of the muensares!!!! XD"
But honestly, the only reason I got Minecraft was to practice my designing and decorating, because someday I plan to be a architect.
+Pais You have a point, however I think Sims would be a much better game for that, even though it's super old and not many people play it anymore.
The reason I got Minecraft was to get a skin. Man, back in the pirated Minecraft community, skins were the HYPE! xD
Who else played the shit out of spyro as a kid?
nicknamed yo motha spyro
Missdevil666 fucking me , how can i forget the hours at trying to complete all the level , or even searching for a secret over every corner , that game , with crash bandicoot 3 and bash made my childhood
i had the demo disc and memorized the entire first world as a result
As a kid when it came out. As a teenager when it was a PS1 classic on the ps3, and now that it’s come out remastered when I get it I’ll check off as an adult.
In 1998-1999 yes
HOLY SHIT UNCHARTED 4 LOOKS AMAZING
+Joan The Gamer AND PRE RENDERED
+morgogs It isn't though
WH250398 The launch game play trailer was
*****
The E3 2014 trailer was engine footage, which wasn't pre-rendered. But it wasn't gameplay either.
WH250398 Seems like PS4 or Uncharted fanboy though seemed to believe it was definitely and undeniably what the PS4 could render. Which it wasn't.
I'm always one generation behind. I just recently got my first PS3. Doubt i'll be able to afford the PS4 until the PS5 comes out.
PS3 was great! We got a cheap one at a garage sale and were amazed how much better it was than our 360 slim. Since then we saved up and bought a ps4!
And that's why I got a pc
I can't afford a gaming computer.
simtitan1, Same here. Can't afford a gaming PC + i'm lazy to build one, never got a PS4 (and probably never will)
simtitan1 You could of just kept saving and bought a PS4, their most likely gonna have a price drop within a year i predict.
Why isn't "Black" on the ps2 list? that game looks better than some 360 games.
dacasman yea BLACK looked amaizing .... loved that game
dacasman Best FPS ever, fuck CoD, fuck Halo, fuck BF, Black was the sh!t
dacasman Not to mention the gorgeous sounds.
dacasman Man its like people never even heard of that game. Big ass explosions, loud ass guns, my first FPS, and first game on PS2 when i came to the US.
*goes up to a random gamer* Have you ever played Black before?
Random Gamer: You mean Black Ops, correct?
came here for meryl
nope
But MGS4 want on the list :(
MERYL! Meryl!
click bait
MERYL!
NONE of the Killzones? Why do people hate that series so much?
Taseen Khan games aren't that good really. but they do look amazing, so im not sure why they aren't mentioned. especially shadowfall. that game is gorgeous.
Taseen Khan Killzone 2 is soooooo good.
The first Killzone was a great game, but after getting the whole trilogy on PS3, I realized it's controls were pretty... fidgety. And pacing was pretty slow. But 2, 3 and SF were great. I'd say they're better than Halo.
Taseen Khan Well I know what you mean about the controls, but honestly I believe they were designed that way for a reason, to give weight to movement and actions, unlike its floaty counterpart halo. I hands down prefer the style of killzone to most other shooters, and I believe the story, level design, character development and voice acting are so much better than in Halo.
But then again, fanboys. I think it depends what they do in the next game, because so far a lot of my Halo friends have decided they are quite bored with the series and aren't really looking forward to the new one. We all played Killzone 3 and they went nuts about how good it was.
Also, I hate to say it, but I prefer the online experience, boils down really to the map and objective design.
Taseen Khan killzone is the reason i bought an xbox one
MGSV also looks so good. I just really hope with all the controversy with konami and kojima that the fox engine will still be used.
It's not like they could take the Fox Engine out. That's the structure of the game. Plus, they've already shipped out copies. 31 Days until release.
I'm sorry my wording kinda sucked I meant that I hope future games will still be made with the engine.
The Commenter dude isnt the release december the first?
+badboy51826 Hideo Kojima left the company,& Konami felt they couldn't do anything without him,so they canceled Silent Hills & pulled P.T. from the store,as well as severing any ties with him.The only reason MGS V wasn't canceled as well was because it was nearly complete.Personally,I feel uncertain about Konami's future.
Solid Serpent The game wouldn't exist without the fox engine...at least not the one we've seen or played in Ground Zeros. Engines are the foundation and the metal rods that the cement (game/graphics/story) is plastered around.
How could you mention graphics and not talk about Crash Bandicoot 3 or Arkham Knight?
+Andrew Ryan Amen! Crash Bandicoot 3 was my favorite of the series
So many games so little to fit in a video chill can't have em all
+Andrew Ryan Or even Arkham Asylum? It still looks fantastic, and it pushed what the PS3 games were looking like for the rest of the generation, despite the fact that it came out in fairly early on during the reign of the PS3 & X360.
True Pride Ratchet and Clank didn't have much going on graphically, did it? It's hard for me to remember. Loved the Uncharted games, I believe the second one was just coming out when Arkham Asylum was released. I think they were about equal in terms of graphic quality, although Uncharted had a lot more going on in terms of particle and weather effects, water, and so on. Batman was more on polygon count and texture quality if memory serves. Both extremely impressive series in their own right.
+Andrew Ryan Try Metal Gear Solid 4.
"Tomb Raider's graphics were controversial for 2 large reasons we will not be speaking about"
10/10 delivery on that one
Seriously 🤣
Damn it I REALLY want a PS4
Sammy Ariel If watching this video made you want to buy a PS4, you need to think about what you want from video games. If you want to look at pretty pictures and colours, go to a fucking art museum.
I already wanted to buy a PS4 but this just teased me with examples of greatness. Uncharted 4 will not be available on PS3 & a tonne of other new games.
However I do appreciate the 'prettiness' & graphics too; I happen to like art & games. It is sad if you do not appreciate the quality
+Sammy Ariel I have a ps4 and all i have to say is that it is worth every penny. I would highly recommend Bloodborne as your first game.
+Sammy Ariel If you're looking for the good graphics, go for a PC. :P
Xb1 looks just as good
How can you talk about beautiful games and not mention heavy rain?
Arnas Sirvydas but somehow walking dead is game of the year with less interaction? And who are you to define what is and isn't a game

PS4 graphics don't blow my mind. It's equivalent to a 2008 PC.
+Watermelon Juice (A.K.A Melon's Cousin) Can you say what is better on consoles? Also I have a graphics card that is from 2008-9. The ati 5870, or the 260x in todays market. This graphics card is as powerful as the Xbox One, and a little bit weaker than the PS4. So his point is valid. A graphics card from 2008 that now costs ~$100 is equivalent to the next gen consoles.
+Watermelon Juice (A.K.A Melon's Cousin) actually, pretty much everything is better on PC lol
+Watermelon Juice (A.K.A Melon's Cousin) Hardware is objective, not subjective. So no, it's not his opinion, it's fact.
+Watermelon Juice (A.K.A Melon's Cousin) You literally just evaded the question. They asked you how consoles are superior to PC and you haven't proven one thing towards that claim. A PC can do anything a console can but better and cheaper in many cases. I'm not here to argue semantics or anything because I own both but I know where my loyalties lie when it comes to true performance and an overall experience. Hint: it's not on a console. Don't get so hyped up on trying to destroy those elitist douchebags (who don't do our community justice) and become completely delusional. For the most part, a PC is superior to consoles. Consoles have a more convenient use and there's nothing wrong with owning one, but stop trying to make excuses for why you don't own a PC or how, in some magical way, consoles provide some entertainment value that PC cannot. At this point in time, right now, that is how things stand. Stop with the nonsensical ramblings of delusion please. It's nauseatingly stupid. You can play whatever tf you want. Idk how old you are but I'm an adult and last time I checked this was a free country. The Master Race was a defensive mechanism PC gamers used to fend off h8trs but now has turned into some elitist PC "Klan". Their opinions don't matter. Play how you want m8. Cheers
+Kaos Ruin yeah easier to use is the only one I can think of.

I missed Burnout 2 and MGS3. When Burnout 2 came out people went bonkers because the engine could manage both racing and crashing beautifully. Something that nobody thought was possible before because it was so contradicting.
And when MGS3 came people went bonkers again saying "Look at all that jungle! The grass! The Leafs!". The graphics are still nuts for being a PS2-game.

No Battlefield? I think Battlefield 4 is the most realistic console game to date. You also failed to mention GTA 5 and Star Wars Battlefront once it comes out.
*[Sensible chuckle]*
Captain Black You're joking right?? Battlefield 4 sure looks pretty good but it isn't the most realistic console game
Captain Black He skipped star wars cause its not realistic, they made it a bit cartoonish. Don't get me wrong, I am hyped for it and it looks georgeous, but it isn't the most realistic
Captain Black Yeah, no.
BattleField 4 already looks outdated.
Sure, it's not BAD looking, but take a look at Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, whic came out one year after.
Or The Last OF Us, which came out the same year, and is still a bloody masterpiece.
(Accidental Doublepost)
Grand Theft Auto V is the prime example of what can be achieved with the previous gen hardware and it's somehow missing from this.
The Last Of Us is a better game but GTA V is the pinnacle of Rockstar's graphical showcase, all the tricks they used in previous games were there in GTA V. It still has, to this day, the best lighting system in gaming and the amount of detail Rockstar was able to put in the game just by texture work alone should be enough to make GTA V a highlight on this list. To me, and taking its size into account, it's the best looking game of the last generation, even better than TLOU.
sonicadv27 It actually deserved a spot instead of San Andreas because that game sacrificed both graphics and performance for scale. Vice City ran way better and was prettier.
Gta is the better game when you play online last of us is a good game
sonicadv27
I feel San Andreas still deserved it's spot though. So they should have had both games. After all, GTA V is much better than San Andreas. (Though I've seen way to many nostalgia-blind fanboys who disagree.)

That ps2 starting sound was very nostalgic.
If you could, I would you do a video on PC and Xbox? just curious to see how far they have come... Tho to be honest I never played on an Xbox but I still think it would be cool. You could also do one for nintendo's handhelds but I wouldn't do one for the consoles since they have been behind or just getting there them selves most of the time.
+Edwin Shelton PC wouldn't be doable... since each is different, unless you are a pre-fabbed peasent.
TheTwistedRebellion For the PC, maybe they could do graphically impressive tech demo's as there aren't gens for PC.

How do you have a graphics video and don't include MGS 4?
and no mgs 5 for 2013? ground zeroes blew me away tbh
PsychoticProphet MGS 4 was so amazing! it still holds up to current gen in many aspects and it was at the beginning of PS3's life cycle
Hideo Kojima is a fucking GOD
PsychoticProphet THANK-YOU. MGS4 tops everything in my opinion... from graphics to voice-acting to gameplay to fucking storyline
PsychoticProphet I was actually thinking the same. And also MGS 5 nails in terms of lighting and i think a bit in sound effect. When i played the Ground Zeroes mission(night time) it just feels an immersive experience.
yeah those guinea pig graphics were great. revisited that part many times.
Damn he really forgot about 2001's Grand Theft Auto III
I'm not a PlayStation player, but I can easily say with no remorse that PlayStation 4 tops the graphics capabilities of any console I've ever seen.

RDR2 today shows what graphics have turned into. It's just mesmerizing, I always found myself with RDR2 looking around more than forwards.
"The PS4 graphics today blow our minds as gamers"
k pick up some PC games and give them a try
PC games? Wrong subject
+ImTotallyTechy Your kind is the kind nobody likes.
CD3 except for the fact that we are propelling the gaming industry forward with the more open and accessable platform for new developers to let their games and skills shine and all consoles are doing are introducing DLCs because the manufacturers of the consoles loose money in production so they stick it to the devs to pick up the price.
You are the guys ruining serious gaming.
ImTotallyTechy So, by gaming on a console, people are ruining serious gaming, is that what your saying? Woah man, not everyone is a serious gamer, what happened to games being fun. Don't fucking scapegoat an entire genre of users just because its ruining 'SERIOUS GAMING."
+CD3 I acutally did say that it is ruining serious gaming. Serious gaming is taking a hit. Casual gaming is still staying afloat but it is still at a risk. I dont remember me saying that "everyone is a serious gamer" and that "games arent fun", im just saying that I am fucking done buying a $60 game and then being hit with $120 of addon content because the game devs have to make money back.
Crash Bandicoot (1996)? Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009)? Heavy Rain (2010)? Tomb Raider (2013)?
I'm mostly surprised that The Vanishing of Ethan Carter didn't get a shout out, but then again, it did recently get ported over to PS4 and may have been overlooked.
Thanks for all the nostalgic feels~
The video is called evolution of graphics and still you rate many of the games for atmosphere or novelty, despite rather poor graphics.
Indeed. If he included Journey and advertised Uncharted 4 - where the hell is Overwatch in this?
Take Shadow of the colossus as an example. Does it have revolutionary graphics ? No. Does it even have good graphics ? Nope. It is a great game because of setting, gameplay, atmosphere, color pallete (which doesn't equal graphics), but not because of graphics. Low res tiled textures, polygony models, poor particle effects. This video is not about style or atmosphere, it's about GRAPHICS.
Calm Down bro it's on ps2
also this is the EVOLUTION of graphics not best looking games of all time
SolarWindsRider you have to look at the world and the monsters, which were amazing by the way.
The Playstation 2 opening made me scream and cry as I got overwhelmed with memories of when I was a kid.
I can't imagine how video games would be after 10 years from now !
Mustafa Jalal holographic? Or VR?
+Evan Scroggins I think we gonna live inside the game .. with our emotions
Mustafa Jalal 10 years is not that far. in 2040 we might live in the game
I am from the future and it's almost 2019. The only thing I can say is red dead redemption 2 lmao
The last of us 2.
any one hope for crash bandicoot 2016?
Yea
me
+Mayoshi Madness agreed, and Im still hoping for megaman legends 3
all of us
Yus
lol completely leaving out MGSV. i know that TPP isnt out yet but the fox engine in GZ is still one of the best looking things on console right now
Moonsbro
Truth brother. When I first saw Gameplay of GZ I thought it was a live-action cutscene and was blown away when I realized it was the game being played and still looking so realistic!
Moonsbro its weird how he didn't mention MGS4 either; graphically that was ridiculous for its time.
+blaze595 Yes! Exactly what I was thinking, I can't see why he was not able to to put it in.
Congrats on 3,000,000 subscribers gameranx
shout out to need for speed underground
It was all fun and games online until I pulled out the old double steer move :)
underground 2 was better
Apparently, the maker of the video failed to realize that Need for Speed Most Wanted IS an open world game. The races were closed off with barriers just to keep it structured but the environment itself is open world.
i have that game
Rest in hell Nintendo power glove
Doesn't your comment make you think about the Angry Video Game Nerd? Cause your comment is reminding me of him. Lol
Just skipped over metal gear solid 4?
K.
Skipped MGS3 too, which is what I would say is the best looking PS2 game of its lifetime.
+NES flashback it's a bad list with bad commentary
+Kilun Gaming I would say the graphic for MGS2 and MGS 3 is about the same level. Since MGS2 was almost fully utilized PS2 limitations already.
+NES flashback MGS4: "Ugggh, my back!" ... game over.
+XuseFans The biggest difference was the fps. 2 was around sixty I believe while 3 was 30 and dipped when raining.
5:20 that ps2 startup sound gives me so much nostalgia!!!
I have a pc with an i7 6700k and a gtx 1080. I play everything maxed at 2k, but I STILL think uncharted 4 has the best graphics I've ever seen. (Especially the ending beach house part.)
Also P.T was an amazing looking ps4 title. (R.I.P)
Skrenja play Witcher 3 on highest graphical setting
Skrenja have you even played final fantasy xv at ultra ?
PS3 to PS4 isn't as big of a change as PS1 to PS2 or PS2 to PS3.
You can talk about specs, and go on about how the hardware has blah blah and blah.
But at the end of the day, I think we are reaching a point where it looks as real as it is going to get.
I agree
Yep
True
+zzzhuh True although maybe they'll start focusing on virtual reality.
Nothing's impressed me since crysis
Fun Fact: Tomb Raider was originally planned for release only on Sega Saturn, but jumped ship to PlayStation after the game's creator was convinced by his co-workers that it would sell better on a more mainstream console
*****...like a baby's bottom
reduced fat ice cream is just denial for fat people Which is the reason the first Tomb Raider looks like garbage on the Playstation with an extremely short draw distance and awkward warping textures, although it does run at a higher framerate than the Saturn version.
NiGHTSnoob if you look at the pool in Lara Croft's house, the water effects look more realistic on the Saturn than the PlayStation
+reduced fat ice cream is just denial for fat people Saturn fan detected
zdzxzdzx saturn really is the best console ever. better than playstation 2 imo
Oh the sound of the psx starting up......shivers.....awesome...brings back fond memories
I wish the PS4 had an awesome intro sound.
I like how this video is only in 720...
but where is GTA 5?
Llama Poop IT'S 60FPS
***** i was talking about GTA 5
***** No, i was talking about GTA 5 PC
SM2ooo ok... That has nothing to do with ps4
SM2ooo pshhh sure you were talking about pc.
Rest in peace PlayStation 2📺💽🎮
you really bring lota memory
i miss scarface 😢
It's on the wii...
No yet, for you and myself, I still play on my PS2, like scarface, shrek 2, GTA San Andreas, NFS Underground and others 22 games more. But on Black Friday I'm gonna buy the PS4 so... PS2 will rest in peace!:(
Excellent video. Regarding the inclusion of Madden/PS2, I found the 2K series having the better character models and animations with the ESPN swansong game (2005?) being a graphic high water mark at the time, especially when playing first person (although the reviews at the time had Madden as the deeper football game in comparison). I wonder if anyone familiar with both series has a similar memory.
upcoming:
Tekken 7
Kingdom Hearts 3
I believe these 2 will rule!
Eewwwwww
Joey Miller Fuck off, kid. Go play CoD or Minecraft, you idiot.
half life 3 confirmed
lol
+Prof. Dr. Furz kids dont play COD (but i do)
+Prof. Dr. Furz kids dont play COD (but i do)
Thank you for including Kingdom Hearts :)
Im a pc master race but the first time i see infamous second son and uncharted 4 i was like ưoahhhhhhhhhh, the graphics blew me away
Mispress its *woahhhhhhh
I agree man. That's why you get a ps4 over xbox one if you want good graphics and smooth gameplay
That's because the Xbox One's hardware wasn't nearly as synchronized as the Ps4's, there were some bottlenecks.
indeed,uncharted 4 is really welldone , and his graphics are amazing,
MetroidJunkie Yeah that's basically what I meant
Man this takes me back . Thank you for this . and STG on that MGS2 . Still incredible .
just wait for the new god of war
The bread Under your bed and holy shit right?
The bread Under your bed so good now
Today's PlayStation graphics blow your mind?!??!?!? They're like 10 years behind PC graphics.
Jameson Koolio
lol sure they are buddy ?v=xBeF9E9uF1I
Nobody denies that a high end PC has waaaay better graphics than this gen of consoles, but don't exaggerate, it makes you look dumb
Where in the video did he mention PC gaming? Nowhere. Why do people even comment on videos like this mentioning stuff thats not even related to the topic? Just makes them seem like jackasses.
55cardsofFury
im just stating the obvious and youre ignoring it like a total jackass
Jameson Koolio take your pc master shit and fuk off
Jameson Koolio bro. something running on higher fps and resolution doesn't change the graphics themselves. the games still look exactly the same from pc to console. the character models look the same, the environments look the same. its all the same, because its the same fucking game with the same technology used to code and develop it. higher res and fps looks a ton better, but it doesn't change physically the graphics of the games in any way
Uncharted 4 and Star Wars: Battlefront are going to get graphics downgrades. I can see it.
Starwars might, but uncharted don't think so,
eddierios831 I think you're right. Since uncharted is a exclusive it is very likely that they won't need to downgrade, because they don't have hardware limitations of other platforms to worry about. Battlefront on the other hand will also get releases on XBone and PC. This will make it extremely likely that every cinematic that has been rendered and every bit of gameplay that was shown was built upon a very high-end PC. Therefor, to make it more usable for consumer-grade pc's and the consoles they will likely come out with lower resolution textures and distance rendering. They just use this tactic to get the croud hyped for these extremely beautifull graphics the average gamer will never see.
KFC Crispy OG niether of them will im not a playstation fan but i dont think that they'll downgrade uncharted and if they do it'll probably be some particle or lighting effects.
MeatheadMan i dont agree with you about its just a tactic to get the crowd hyped but i do agree with the fact that the resolution will get downgrade but not by much because the ps4 and xbone are powerful consoles and their not making it for last gen so if ther is a downgrade expect it to be resolution, particle and lighting affects.
ghostrider 2812 So exactly what i said. But you are wrong about the severity of the downgrade. Nowadays, when a company shows off their newest graphical masterpiece, they are set on showing the most beautiful version. This can only be achieved by using the most powerfull PC that could be put together using consumer components. Not any normal consumer can afford this überpowerd PC, and the consoles in this generation are about as powerfull as medium- to high end PC's. And Uncharted would get the least amount of downgrade because they will need to show it on the PS4, therefor they'll need to go with the best achievable resolutions and particles that the PS4 can handle.
No Killzone 2? That visually blew everything away when it released.
What about gta 5....?
Ik wtf
+James Smith he was a kid remember...
Gta v is still probably one of the most realistic free roaming games out there
The GTA series was always a pioneer in open world games. Even before it went 3D
T Dex but it was released on the Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox one, and the PS4
LOL nothing compares to sony games, no question.
Ikr lol
Ur opinion :/
the PlayStation 2 had Good graphics that stand out today (not saying it's better than today's game graphics)
+Ahmad Whitmire Aye that it does but you also notice compared to todays stuff how grey a lot of games look lol
+Paul T (Morpheus2n2) true
4:01 "Gran Turismo 2 has become very much a tradition for incredible graphics"
. Then a second later mountain pops up 🤣
i remember these games being more good looking :S
what about GTA 5 ?!
when I first saw that game on 360, I almost thought I was playing an LA simulator. Imagine my reaction to the Next-gen/PC versions of GTA V.
I think even PS3s graphics on GTAV were awesome when it launched! That's how hyped I was to play it.. I've played about 100+ hours only free roaming and online and din't play singleplayer 'cause I waited to get it on PC.. man was that a long wait!!!!!!!!
not a that good game....
+Forever Alone Guy
But it was really impressive how they even got the game running on the ps3
the fact that they were able to crossover GTA V to the next gen and give you great quality just like the last of us they deserved to be on the list.
Consoles are still lacking behind the PC and I'm not saying this to talk shit about consoles but what's annoying me is that it DRAGS down the PC graphics as many publishers decide to downgrade a game's graphics (which includes the PC graphics) because the consoles just can't do it as of yet.
k
***** I agree, i love console too (PS), but i prefer my computer. I mean, at least they kinda upgrade/patch it out for pc gamers, for ex: in GTA 5. the graphics on pc are 100 times better, but youre right, it could be even better.
Uncharted 4 tho... Fcking dayummm
***** Don't know which games you play on PC, but I never had this problem. True, I only use my PC for first person shooters/PC exclusives and consoles for everything else, but the stuff I played on PC always looked if not better then at least as good as it did on consoles.
that's just the natue of multiplat games, well at least some of it yeah
consoles holds down graphics on PC? never believed that.
the real problem is majority of ppl that still use a mid or mid high spec pc or even lower than that coz nowdays, userbase is always the number 1 thing on game publishing rather than quality. if lots of ppl decide to go high-end then devs would no longer make the consoles as their main priority and there would be no longer hold ups on multiplat games.
well im not an expert at this really, just an opinion and all
That's not true at all. Games like Watch Dogs and The Witcher 3 looked "better" when they were first revealed because the devs overdone the early demos. Just like how Ubisoft did for all their games before (like Far Cry 3, Ghost Recon etc.). This "downgrade" thingy doesn't actually exist.
This is a great video guys but I gotta say I noticed some stuff being cut. Sentences that just cut off mid way though an apparently an entire section about Arkham Asylum before Journey that was commented on but never seen. Just saying a good video but could use some more editing.
yall do remeber PlayStation(bulky, grey) > PlayStation One(slim, white) > PlayStation 2... right??
***** you do know the playstation one was the exact same hardware as the psx just with less casing, right?
Random Default psx to psone is like tim and eric show to aqua teen hunger force. its like a fight between blind and cripple
Random Default The PSOne had Hardware the was newer and a lot smaller so they could fit it in a smaller case with slight performance
boosts and bug fixed.
***** I practically orgasm whenever I hear the PlayStation 1 turn on
+Random Default you do know that the PSX is a ps2/dvd hybrid and not a PS1 right?
i dont know but ps2 graphics still looks best for me
+Candas Agir It was the biggest step from PS1 to PS2.
I still own one. But half of my games went missing so these days I only play every now and then because the other half of my games, I've played too many times.
how is that even possible? like, newer graphics are objectively better. more realistic, more colorful, more effects. its not really up for debate...
maybe they were more surprising or groundbreaking for their time, but that time is gone.
Candaş Ağır That can't be true, newer graphics are superior in every way, in polygons, resolution, picture quality, animations, facial expressions etc. When you say they aren't,it's nostalgia and not truth that's speaking
I agree, new gen has better graphics without a doubt, PS2 graphics were great for their time, and still is good and playable today, but there's no way it's better than PS4, it's just not possible.
Pc master race and feed me your wallets!
Crysis and Battlfield's graphics and the way in which bullets and explosions interacted with the world just blew my mind the first time I played them. I was surprised not to see them here
I was waiting for BEYOND TWO SOULS
Uncharted 4 looks like shit,greatly downgraded, it actually looks like Tomb raider 2013 graphics !
i like this video so much but the at the end you proved that you are a fanboy
R7 260X VS Next Gen Games You sound like a dumb fanboy, Uncharted 4 looks like the best thing ever, go watch the expanded 15 minute trailer
i just re-read what you said again !
" Uncharted 4 looks like the best thing ever" lol you are new to this ?
R7 260X VS Next Gen Games I think you're just a xbox fan. Which is fine, but you can't say that uncharted 4 looks shit. It was one of the best looking games that were shown at E3
exactely, it "was" the best looking games that were shown back at the e3, now it look different if you watched the latest gameplay.
i'm no fanboy and i don't own an xbox, i'm just a simple observer, it's really not that hard to realize that they downgraded the visuals in the game.
R7 260X VS Next Gen Games I don't care what console you have, but I know naughty dog from The Last of Us and previous games and they're not the company who downgrades their games, but I guess we'll see when the game comes out. I still wouldn't go as far as calling it shit looking. It will look much better then most of the current games.
what about GTA 5 u forgot about that
Yes, I think GTA 5 is best looking game on Playstation 3, and it was on PS3 year before PS4.
Compared to PC the game looks like shit on PS3. I own both and even played it in 3Dvision. No comparison.
+Hless421 But compared to price... I own 800€ pc and it cant even run gta iv. And ps3 can run and cost 300€
if your pc cost that much, you are doing something wrong, my pc cost ~£400 and it can run gtav at 45-60 fps on high-ultra graphics. It is a performance taxing game though as i do get fps drops a lot more on gtav than other games. GTA IV should run even better as it is an older game. Make sure you have your drivers all up to date and overclock your hardware, that should improve your hardware, but you probably bought the wrong stuff to start off with.
+Hless421
No one asked for what the game is like on PC because the video is about games' graphics on PlayStation systems. You're right but irrelevant
I would've mentioned "Silent Hill 3" in 2003. It had one of the most detailed character models of that generation + extremely creepy and detailed locations with blood floating while you running through the location.
