Doesn't really bother me, assuming I haven't played a ps3 game in at least a few days. Even then, it's the resolution and aliasing that bothers me, and not really the polygons, textures, etc.

If I start playing Uncharted will in the middle of playing FFX or something, when I go back to FF, I can't help but think how blurry the game looks.

You should try tweaking the sharpness\contrast\brightness on your TV for PS1\2 games...

Will make a big difference, they were not really designed for playing on plasma\LCDs and lowering the sharpness for a start will help a LOT.

(At least I found this to be the case when playing FFIX on my 50 inch panasonic plasma on the PS2 a few days back)...

I still play many PS1 and PS2 games and some of them frankly still look fantastic especially when you consider what they were on and for their time.

Hmm, pie.

Q_A_X on 15 August 2008

I can't play PS1 games due to the graphics being so bad.
PS2 games hurt, but I can play them.
I'm used to the top-notch graphics the PS3 produces and going backwards is hard.

Graphics matter A LOT to me. I won't buy a game due to the graphics but I will not buy a game if the graphics are under average.

PS1 games have not aged well. I still play them. I own RE 1, 2, 3. RE1 and Silent Hill look awful by today's standards. PS2 games were a step up but the graphics can't match today's consoles.

I still play PS2 and PS1 games on occasion.

They don't bother me at all. Why should they?

Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

Be the ultimate ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today! Poisson Village welcomes new players.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

Does it also depend on the TV? I have a 40" HD and i try to sit far back when i play ps1/2 games, but with mgs4 i can sit 2' away and it still looks great!

SNES games dont bother me at all because it always has a clear straight forward image, like super mario, but it's just the PS1 and PS2 games when they made the jump to 3D and I agree with c0rd that they made the jump a little to early it's hard to make out alot of things.

Oh yeh and everyone is saying Final Fantasy VII is the worst of all if you play it right now, I haven't played it yet on my new HDTV I should give it a try to see what all the fuss is about lol

It's when reading that that I understood what you meant. I think you're right by saying that the SNES looks less outdated than the PS1 because most games were full of colors and pretty well drawn. However, I have to admit that the PS1/N64 generation hasn't aged that well. I played Mario Golf 64 recently on a 42 inches TV and I thought it looks like shit. It still looks good on a smaller TV so it may be that your TV has too much details. It would be like playing a VHS on your HD TV, it wouldn't look so good...

How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...
