i read this on a ps2 FAQ
PlayStation 2: 300 MHz
Xbox: 733 MHz
Gamecube: 405 MHz
Dreamcast: 200 MHz
PlayStation: 33.86 MHz


i thought ps2 only had like 223Mhz or somtin, are the newer ones better?

In the systems like the GC, and PS2,(even dreamcast) Mhz has no main use like the x-box. In the case of those two systems the processors aren't quite as the same. Its a processor, but its different from the x-box's.

The GameCube WAS 405MHz with a 202MHz GPU but they changed the CPU to 485MHz and lowered the GPU to 162MHz to balance it out.

most games have same graphic because they are built under the lowest spect, which is PS2.

but for higher gaming quality, certain games such as ninja gaiden, resident evil wont run as good on PS2, PS2 can't handle that much polygons.

Sonic Heroes was built for GCN then ported to PS2 and Xbox, you can see that PS2 can't even make sure it gets 30frame/second... while Xbox and cube can run at 60 frame/sec

It isn't obviously...
Anybody who has "eyes" can tell that ps2's overall graphics are pretty poor in quality compared to the likes of gamecube and x-box...

Not that I would expect you to know that, I mean, you don't even own a ps2...

Here's some proof that ps2's hardware is much, weaker then gamecube and x-box.

http://insidermedia.ign.com/insider/image/sonicheroes_012304_2.jpg

The link is of sonic heroes.

Look at the ps2 version....
Look at all the effects disabled, that water is lack luster, and the lighting effects...there friggin dots....
Plus, ps2 plays, on 30fps...gamcube and x-box run at 60fps...
So much for lighting fast vram on ps2's part...And so called "strong" hardware..., just look at all the technilogical performance sacrificed...

Titus22

Well think about it...ps2 had time to be pushed farther to its limits with it's exclusives...

Sonic adventure 2, and skies of arcadia both looked better then your standared 2000, 2001 ps2 games, didn't mean it was more powerful then ps2.....but, hardly any dreamcast compares to 2002, 2003 ps2 titles, when ps2's hardwares was starting to get pushed farther then 30% of it's compacity..

You really should understand the architectural differences...

You should really learn to see things run in action, instead of relying on statistics...

Cause if you had an x-box, gamecube, and ps2 like me, you would know what looks better, handles better, and overall plays better...

If you take a games and compare them in gameplay...
x-box/gamecube games look better, load faster, and majority of the time, offer less slowdown...

Titus22
03-12-2004, 09:07 PM

How am I a x-box/gamecube fanboy for debating system strengths?
I have nothing against ps2s, fact is I love it, and I love games for it.
But I'm not going to lie and say it's just as strong, or stronger then the likes of gamecube and x-box...Cause that's fanboyism.

Besides, what does ps2 got to show for it's "powerful" hardware, arctictures, whatever? Considerably worse graphics of the 3, longest loads of the 3, and slowdowns in multiplat games...

So specs will show me more then my eyes?lmfao :lol:
Sorry, but that sounded stupid.

And how do you explain ps2 games carried over to the x-box, like sh2: rd? in which the x-box had better graphics and shorter loads?

Titus22
03-12-2004, 09:14 PM
Because Xbox is easier to program for. And specs do tell a lot...Why do you think that developers read bigass manuals about each console?

ONE THING About gamecube, they should step off of the kiddy carnival..And have more blood and guts in there games..I know you'll say "HOW ABOUT RESIDENT EVIL?" We'll the ones that came out later on the gamecube looked like crap! And they were ported..

zeronumber
03-12-2004, 09:20 PM
Specs only tell squat.
Cause if specs are in ps2's favor, why does x-box look better, load faster etc?

Now take for example sonic heroes...It was developed for gamecube...
then ported to x-box and ps2...

Now, x-box version still ran at 60fps, x-box version still had wonderful visual effects, x-box still had short loading times...The only difference it had slowdown...

Then you have the ps2 version...
Which had to be dumbed down to 30fps, and it fluctates mind you, most visual effects were disabled, it had long loading times, plus more slowdown then the x-box version...

Now if ps2's specs are so great, why did technological performance have to suffer....

I'll tell you why, ps2 has squat for memory spec boy...
Naka said it himself in his interview with egm mag.com.

Yeah and the geo prism is lower in torque, which allows it to go strait to the rpm's giving overall acceleration then the dodge viper...

Yeah but remember, it's not one characteristics, it's the overall hardware...
Granted, ps2 has something good about it, but overall it can't handle and produce a game in the same level as gamecube and x-box....Just like how a geo prism, even though having better acceleration will still loose in a one mile stretch, cause as soon as the overall horsepower of the viper starts to kick it, it will leave the prism's once small lead, into the dust.

I perfer a PS2 over the Xbox because the PS2 can work with everything from the PS1, so that means I save $. I could care less how good a game looks if the game is complete garbage. The only games that I would play on the Xbox is ESPN NBA, NFL, NHL, and Halo. The PS2 has some great graphics for ESPN NBA Basketball, the only diffrences are that the tats and the crowd has more detail. (who cares cuz I don't)

Sure the Xbox has great hardware, but they sure don't have better games than the PS2. (IMHO)

seriously, PGR2 don't look all that good when you actually race, the buildtinf texure look like crap, the only way it look nice is that you're far away and get a really nice vista, but while racing between skyscrapers (Yokohama anyone?) it look like crap an dit look totally fake (how the :):):):) can orange brick have reflections?), while GT3 look clean and nice even if you race between skyscrapers, notice I said GT3, and GT4 is bound to be better.

not to mention the cars in PGR2 barely got any reflections, and with those pumped up polygons, it still look no better than GT4.

I was talking abotu graphics wise, the cars are :):):):):):) in PGR2, look lik eplastic toys, and the the evironment suck when you are actually racing, the only time it look nice is at the begining of a race where you get to have a tour of the city with a view, when you race, the building look ugly and have no dephs whatsoever, anyone seen teh glitches? when racing, building shift polygons, yes, if oyu played GTA3 and VC, you notice that some building got flat :):):) texure and bassically look like a big block, and but take form when you get closer, hello hong kong, yokohama, chicago in PGR2, I've seen that happend left and right in that game, none in GT3.
SEGA GT2002 loook like :):):):), and totally fake, the car model are way off from acurate, what about the reflections? cars aren't like mirrors, but the cars in Sega GT 2002 reflect everthing like a mirror, and the RSX, viper, NSX, don't loook anythign like the real life counterpart.,totally fake. and the evironemnt sucks, since it based on fantasy location, they give it the same old boring look in every track.

seriously, PGR2 don't look all that good when you actually race, the buildtinf texure look like ***, the only way it look nice is that you're far away and get a really nice vista, but while racing between skyscrapers (Yokohama anyone?) it look like *** an dit look totally fake (how the *** can orange brick have reflections?), while GT3 look clean and nice even if you race between skyscrapers, notice I said GT3, and GT4 is bound to be better.

not to mention the cars in PGR2 barely got any reflections, and with those pumped up polygons, it still look no better than GT4.

Well it's sorta unfair to compare Gt3 to pgr2...
For one they are 2 totally different games...
And pgr2 was developed in a way so that it can hold up just as well online as it did offline, so of course, main things like higher framerates had to be sacraficed...If it was to be an offline game, I'm sure it could have done better.

Besides, if you want to make comparisons in graphical power...

Sega gt 2002 looked a lot better then Gt3 - Aspec...
Though, gt3 was a better game....
I was talking abotu graphics wise, the cars are *** in PGR2, look lik eplastic toys, and the the evironment suck when you are actually racing, the only time it look nice is at the begining of a race where you get to have a tour of the city with a view, when you race, the building look ugly and have no dephs whatsoever, anyone seen teh glitches? when racing, building shift polygons, yes, if oyu played GTA3 and VC, you notice that some building got flat *** texure and bassically look like a big block, and but take form when you get closer, hello hong kong, yokohama, chicago in PGR2, I've seen that happend left and right in that game, none in GT3.
SEGA GT2002 loook like ***, and totally fake, the car model are way off from acurate, what about the reflections? cars aren't like mirrors, but the cars in Sega GT 2002 reflect everthing like a mirror, and the RSX, viper, NSX, don't loook anythign like the real life counterpart.,totally fake. and the evironemnt sucks, since it based on fantasy location, they give it the same old boring look in every track.

quote from ignabotu
PGR2 gliches "strange texture swapping".

Well I agree with you on car models...
But what do you expect, I wished we lived in a day in age where we can play a car racing games in 60 fps, full graphical effects, and play online with no lag or slowdown once so ever, but lets face it, that sorta technology in online gaming, isnt' exactly upon us right now...even with broadband connections.

come on, GT4 will be online and it run at 60fps, Polyphony is trying to make the game as real as possible, and 60 fps is one of those feature that make it look real. they are tryign to make a realistic experience, and 60 fps is what the human can see (though I think it 30 fps) when they drive. Polyphony never make a GT under 60 fps, never.
automodelista play online at 60 fps with no graphic tone down, and sega gt online didn't get a tone down either.
online have nothing to do with grapahic tone down.

I'm not saying it does, I'm just saying they probably wanted to have the same experience both on and off line with pgr2.

Besides, pgr2 isn't a dedicated racing sim, it's more towards the lines of arcadish racing game...
And look at sega gt online...even with 60fps and good graphics, it had good amounts of lag, not to mention, it's a fairly glitchy title.

SEGA GT is made by sega, there is a problem in that. Polyphony is only devoted to making racing sims and they have lots of dedication on making a perfect one. Sega is trying to make any game possible. so I my guess is that the way sega model the cars by just looking at manufacture picture and data and make the game. Where polyphony did years of testing and test drive all 500+ cars to make GT4.

Of course the graphics on the X-Box and Gamecube are better. PS2 is older. Gamecube/XBox came out in 2001 and PS2 came out in 2000. Technology moves fast!




You really should understand the architectural differences...

You should really learn to see things run in action, instead of relying on statistics...

Cause if you had an x-box, gamecube, and ps2 like me, you would know what looks better, handles better, and overall plays better...

If you take a games and compare them in gameplay...
x-box/gamecube games look better, load faster, and majority of the time, offer less slowdown...
