the Xbox games had better resolution and less aliased grafix
but overall the most impressive games were on the GC and ,arguably, the PS2 (GT4)

Using polygon count is a pretty bad way of discussing technical achievements in graphics. Why?

Rogue Squadron 3 = 20m polys/sec.

Lost Planet Xbox 360 = 3m polys/sec

Dead Rising Xbox 360 = 4m polys/sec

Doom 3 was one of the games to turn developer away from high polygon counts and focus on post processing effects. Xbox 1 had a much more feature rich GPU for effects and post processes.

Many games on Xbox 1 has better specular maps and normal maps than any game on GC. These higher effects were much more stenuous on the memory and GPU than simply a high polygon.

Metroid Prime had a higher polygon count and ran at 60fps. But noone would ever say it lookd visually better than Halo 2 or Far Cry Evolution running on Xbox 1. Becauuse it lacked the post processing effects capable of Xbox 1.

Polygon count is nowhere near as important as what you put on it or what other effects you use.

Otherwise Rogue 3 would destroy Lost Planet which is insane. Especially considering LP runs at 30fps to.

Using only videos ( not bs screenshots in this thread. Xbox clearly had the more impressive games in motion.
But it is funny seeing a BS screenshot war. Of which noone can compete again with GT4 or FM1. LOL.



you are talking about two different types that is character(human like) polys vs  aircrafts

characters move their bodies while aircraftds dont so yea it is a bad way of comparing

still one game game is faster than the other im not talking about frames and most xbox titles are slow in comparison with gamecube titles such as rogue squadrom and fzero gx..doom 3 is very slow and black , halo is slow all graphicly high end titles on xbox are slow..while gamecubes are not.

 

and you mention gt4 cmon in game the title looks almost as ridge racer V(my all time favorite racing game :)

Uh ROFL.

Yes the 3rd is gameplay footage.  About 7 secs is cgi. Here are you crazy??????????????????????????????????? GC version of Kameo is absolute poo in visuals compared to 360. Not even close. Nadda.

I remeber all the videos on the GC Mag dvd and they were all as crap as that. Well good for their day. But no. Just no.



They were all good xbox was a huge success and the graphics had to be great. Gamecube was a beast. PS2 was a giant, Dreamcast was a big let down. All in all they all had great graphics Gamecube was very suprising graphically I was suprised how good it was. Xbox had to be, being microsofts 1st console. Dreamcast was a freighttrain that went off the tracks and never recovered. PS2 was a classic, picking up where the original playstation left off. It's graphics were better and the games as solid as ever.I'd haft to say1) PS2 2) xbox 3) gamecube 4) dreamcast but 1 through 3 are very close graphically.



as far as i know gameplay footage is while someone is playing with the controler..and yes the 360 version is much better but not as someone would expect from a new genareation console..i still have the VHS recordings from TV so no one can tell me what they saw 10 years ago because the web was crap in comparison to VHS :D
