The Wii never showed anything to amazing other than RE4, and it used a GREAT inguenative texture trick. It dosent use shaders like a traditional game made in that era, it used textures, that look 3D. They somehow took 'pictures' of a wall, with wires, paint chips, and everything, rendered at super HD, with perfect lighting, and then snapped the shot, and put that picture for the wall on the game. The game looks amazing, but they cheated alot. In terms of, the Console is not 'really' rending the image you see. I mean it is, but it's not using near as much power as it looks.

If that was cheating then the PS2 version was the biggest scam in the whole video game story.

PlayStation 2 port

A PlayStation 2 port of Resident Evil 4 was released in America on October 25, 2005. Despite being a graphically downgraded port due to the PlayStation 2's hardware capabilities, impressions of the port based on a preview build have been good. A handful of critics stated that the PlayStation 2 version's graphics were inferior to the those of the Gamecube, however some felt that the exclusive features made up for these shortcomings.^[17]

Additionally, almost all the GameCube’s real-time cut scenes were converted into FMV movie files in order to maintain a better quality. In other words, the player’s character will appear (in higher-polygon GameCube model) wearing their default costume, regardless of which accessories or outfits were actually chosen. The gameplay balancing present in the PAL GameCube version applies to the PlayStation 2 version as well (though the North American release has no Easy option).^{[citation needed]}

Voices and sound effects quality outside of the cutscenes had been reduced due to audio RAM constraints.^{[citation needed]}
