Because it didn't support the true widescreen. It's obvious that they just wanted to decrease vertical resolution to save some fillrate.

So what reasons does he have to lie?

Leon has more ammo in the PS2 pic.

I own both consoles. I'm gonna play it on GC. Looks better, and the new gun sucks.Wario64 said:

Devs sometimes come up with excuses for shortcuts that they do. This wouldn't be the first time. He didn't outright lie, btw, as his answer actually is valid and makes sense. It's just that the chose not to mention the other, technical reason. Why do they do that, I guess to make it look like they didn't have to take any shortcuts, and make the buyers of their games more proud?
Again, PS2 capture has screwed up contrast and gamma. The grayish looking black colour is a telltale. The actual lighting, as in vertex hilites and static lightmaps, it looks nearly identical.

wait... you own a GC and you haven't played RE4 yet?
The fuck is wrong with you, chief?

Heheh, I haven't had time/money for it yet. And I never bought a RE title, I haven't felt they were worth more than a rental, being short and all.TheJollyCorner said:

truth of the matter is, if someone handed you these screens and said they were from the gamecube version, i bet you would beleive them. damage control here is pretty funny

Damage control? What damage? This gen is over dude, nobody cares about it. The Gamecube is technically superior to the PS2. It doesn't have enough good games to compete with it. Everybody knows that. GC RE4 looks better than the PS2 version. Why does it make you cry?Wario64 said:

What damage control? It's a sci fi gun mixed in with real weapons...it doesn't fit
This fanboy bullshit and damage control comments got boring months ago (from people like wario).
Threads on here are becoming so predictable...fuck it, I can't be bothered writing any more. I'm going back to playing my inferior game.

You really can't tell by these screens. Actually, if I had to judge on screens alone, I'd never guessed Cube version is 16bit either. I can't see any color banding or dithering in any of them. Video captures blur the hell out of everything, if any of these were direct feed shots, it'd be a different story.

Why are you getting so emotional? People press other peoples buttons on here its what they do so don't take it personally.
Well, I thought it was plain as day for the simple fact that we know the Cube is 16-bit color (in gameplay and maybe 24-bit in some cutscenes) so by comparing the PS2 screens we can see that the colors don't look the least bit more sharp than the Cube version. So the assumption is that they are running at the same color depth or we would see even the slightest improvement of some sort. The only way to be positive though is for someone to walk right up to a wall texture.
Shaheed79 said:
I think you missed his point.
He didn't get emotional. Just because people try to piss each other off and that's normal doesn't make it any less annoying.

Really, the difference isn't THAT big in most screen shots, but if you're trying to show that they look alike, you should have picked better pics. It's pretty obvious in those two.

HAH, far from it. There's nothing wrong with comparing old builds against a build that will be old later.

Best pic of the PS2 version I've seen so far.
Solid said:
I defended the possible useful applications of the gun but it does indeed look like a generic photon cannon straight out of Unreal Tournament. People are always crticizing gun designs on GAF nothing new here. I just commented on how it looks awkward while Leon fires it because it doesn't even cast any light on the person using the gun given the extremely bright dispersion.

Yeah, I can see color banding there, and not to open any new can of worms, but on that pic where he's holding ashley, it's more apparent on GC shot. Keep in mind that on low contrast gradients, even 24 bit can sometimes produce banding, due to blending imprecisions on current hardware (see Halo, MGS2, MGS3, etc, etc)Shompola said:

Notice the pink and green colors on Leon's back in the GC shot? That's not a problem with the screenshot compression, that's a problem with the game. This happened all over the game.
The PS2 shot does not demonstrate this to the same degree at all. Maybe, just maybe, the PS2 version will be devoid of such an issue? 16-bit color does not necessarily need to mean that we'll see such nasty artifacts. Those pink and green blotches that appear throughout the GC version are really ugly...
dark10x said:
Yeah I know whatcha mean but he did use non-final build shots of the GC version in that comparison just look at the health bars. I don't remember the green artifacting being that bad in the final version but I'm really close to the part right now anyway.

Shit like this is why Nintendo fans have such a bad name. I love the Cube version and think its one of the best looking games this gen. But I'm not blind to admit that the PS2 version is pretty damn close. Yeah, it sucks that not many people are Cube supporters, and this is just another reason for some to not get Nintendo's system, but I'm not going to pull my hair out over such trivial crap. It's like people act as if they have stock in Nintendo or something. Jeeze...
Sorry, had to get it out of my system.

I actually think its the worst of the ps2 screens seen in this thread...
It is actually much worse than that screenshot would suggest. Some entire areas are bathed in it (many of the darker areas in the lab). It's really damn ugly looking. I made some screen caps a while ago showing all of those problems...but I don't have them handy anymore. PN03 had this exact same problem, so I assume they share some code...
Marconelly said:
Yes I can hardly see any in the PS2 shots for whatever reason. But if PS2 has fixed that problem and has anamorphic widescreen, it will have by far better IQ than the GC version.
But still GC version is better IMO simple because of that it was released 6 months ago or so. People waiting to play this game are very patient IMO
dark10x said:
Apparently so because it is most notable on Leon's face. Did you run the game in Progressive Scan when you played? The only time I didn't really notice it as much were in the shots Culex captured. But it definitely looks like they didn't use that ugly greenish grey variant in the PS2 version which is indeed a good thing.
Sholmes said:All the GC fanboys were secretly hoping RE4 PS2 would look something like this:
that's the truth. :lol
Even I didn't expect PS2 to be able to replicate RE4 this well. I considered RE4 to be the best looking game this gen (be it for PC or console). I thought there was no way in hell Capcom could pull it off on PS2.
They're talented guys.

Fog in the first pic is just terrible, Capcom really needs to fix that. The PS2 version will just suffer the same fate as the GC version. Thats have great to poor looking areas throughout the game.

Holy Cow!! I consider the GC RE4 one of the best looking games ever and for Capcom to to scarily replicate the overall graphics quality on PS2, it's incredible!!
BEST. PORT. EVER!!!

Yes, I did play in 480p mode. It has nothing to do with any single piece of the game or part of a characters body, though. It depends on the lighting in the scene. Scenes with heavy contrasts between light and dark often suffer from this problem.Shaheed79 said:
I have played this on two different HDTVs (including my current Sony), on an analog TV, and through my capture card. All four had the same problems in the same places. It was most noticible in 480p, though...
