Then and Now: How the PS3’s graphics have progressed
Push Square has recently put up a great article comparing and contrasting ingame graphics from PS3’s launch titles to more recent titles.
What you see above is their comparison of Resistance: Fall of Man and Killzone 2. As you can see they both look rather stunning, but Killzone 2’s realistic lighting, debris, and general effects really puts Resistance to shame. That’s not all though, they also compare games like Ridge Racer 5 and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, and Virtua Fighter 5 with Soul Calibur IV.
They came to a verdict that developers are definitely progressing in terms of graphics when it comes to the PS3 in particular. There is still room for improvement though, if what Sony says about the PS3 having a 10 year life span is true, we’re sure to be seeing more and more hardware capabilities unlocked as time progresses.
