What system was pushed the farthest graphically? (Lots of pics)

The PS1 and the PS2 both did things people said they were incapable of year after year. Every generation Sony shows what they expect their consoles to do and people call them liers, only to be proved wrong 4 or 5 years later.

Take history as an example. Buy 2010 we will see games that are more graphically apealing in many aspects than the Killzone trailer ever was.

One thing that always impresses outside of Sony is just how good F5 did with RS on the GC. Seeing that pic reminded me of just how much more the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube still had left in them.

 

 That's one of the main reasons I believe this generation was rushed.  The guys crafting Star Wars Force Unleashed on the PS2 are saying that they're still finding new tricks buried in that hardware.  The Xbox and GameCube were both killed long before their full potential had been tapped.  Seeing that picture of Rebel Strike again actually makes me rethink how impressed I am with The Conduit.  In reality, games that look as good as The Conduit should be the norm on the Wii, not the other way around.  After RE4, Rebel Strike and some of the other GC offerings, I'm even more convinced that the Wii is capable of some outstanding graphical quality. 

I could not agree more. It seems like most devs focus completely on the control scheme for their Wii games and completely ignore the graphics... Oh well....

btw, that screen from SW:RS2 on the GC is just breathtaking. Those vehicle models are almost as good as the ones in Warhawk. Damn shame the system got the axe so soon....
