Discussion: PS2 Hardware Showing its Age

[Perfect Stu]

I think Ratchet and Clank looks better than Super Mario Sunshine, if we had to compare similar games...

but I don't want to turn this into a PS2 vs. GC vs. Xbox graphics contest...we all know PS2 comes in third, and obviously doesn't impress anyone these days (if ever).

the question was whether or not the aging of the PS2 hardware is having an affect on games, consumers and sales.

Graphics whores will always go for XBox, high end PC or maybe even Gamecube. Gekko mentioned one of the reasons why he can't play SOCOM anymore were the GOD AWFUL visuals with BLURRY TEXTURES AND JAGGIES. To him, that's a valid complaint. To me it would be splitting hairs. It's not like the game was unplayable.
