I mean, at 300,000 polygons on screen at once drawn at 30 frames/second that's only 9 million polygons per second. That's low end current generation. I double checked and it turns out I was right. Sources for the character model polygon count.

Yeah, and Leon from RE4 has something like 10,000 polygons...

While I'm sure they could easily fit more into each character (and everything else), the difference between ED/RE4 and PDZ is that deathmatches can have up to 50 players at once, and it can handle having all of them on the screen at once, or so one of the rareware guys said on that MTV show...
