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

O-D-C on 30 August 2008

  I'v been wondering, what system has been pushed the farthest past its launch capabilities.

To do this comparision, take the systems best looking launch title and compare it to the best overall looking game on that console.

Since I only really know Ninte

 

ndo Ill only do their systems but if anyone else really knows: Sega, Atari, Sony, Microsoft or any others please feel free to post.

Nintendo Entertainment System

Best looking launch game: Super Mario Bros.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best looking overall game: Kirby's Adventure

Game Boy

Best looking launch game: Super Mario Land

Best looking overall game: Donkey Kong Land III

Super Nintendo Entertainment System

Best looking launch game: Super Mario World

Best looking overall game: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble

Nintendo 64

Best looking launch title: Super Mario 64

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best looking overall game: The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Game Boy Color

Best looking launch game: Game & Watch Gallery 2

Best looking overall game: Donkey Kong Country

Game Boy Advance

Best looking launch game: Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best looking overall game: The Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap

Nintendo Gamecube

Best looking overall game: Resident Evil 4

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm intentioanly leaving the Nintendo DS and Wii out because it can be argued that those systems havent seen their 'prettyiest' game yet.

So feel free to add other consoles, games, and disagree with my pics if their wrong.

I think the Gamecube was pushed far. Resident Evil 4 was such a quality game (i owned the PS2 version) and Rogue Leader was immense

Its hard to say the Gamecube was pushed hard, Rogue Leader is breathtaking.

For it's generation, SNES, look at the jump.

Seriously, I think it was the NES, at its later stage precisely. If you look at Super Mario Bros. and then Super Mario Bros. 3, it's impressive how they've managed to create so many good looking stages with such a limited color palette.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Generally speaking, the PC is the hardware which is always pushed the least ...

There is very little incentive for developers to really optimize their games for particular hardware because PC gamers are very willing to upgrade their systems if they don't obtain decent performance; consider that the minimum requirements for Resident Evil 4 on the PC was a 1.4 GHz Pentium 4 and a graphics card with 128 MB of memory that supported DirectX 9.0c, which would be a Geforce 5 or better, which is far more processing power than the Gamecube had.
