They look identical to me.

Most of those shots aren't even the same, how can we draw accurate comparisons?

indeed.

*Waits for IGN's comparison*

 

[Frank the Great]

The GCN version looks noticeably better than the PS2 version. The PS2 version still looks pretty nice though.

I lol'd at the pics of the item screens.

 

[Forsete]

The only difference that I can see is in the textures (minor) and the brightness (though that probably is the capture cards fault, different brightness/contrast settings).

 

[Red Blaster]

The PS2 screens also look way brighter or were taken at a higher contrast.

 

[deadhorse32]

The color are a little washed out, some polys are missing here and there and some textures are blurrier but it still looks good. And the game is not only about great gfx but also about good gameplay.

Great games all around.

 

[LakeEarth]

In the one screen comparison, I don't see the flowing curtains that is in the GC version, but I don't remember, is that the same room? Should there be flowing curtains in that room?

 

[Kon Tiki]

They look identical to me.

No.

 

[ToyMachine228]

You can't really compare through screenshots. Different capture cards can cause differences in the exact same screenshot. You'd be better off watching videos of both.

But anyway, I finished Resident Evil 4 for like the fourth time just this morning...Such an amazing game!

 

[Doom_Bringer]

those screens are from an old PS2 build. Lets wait for the game to come out before making any comparisons.

The new trailer Capcom showed at the Sony party had no slowdown during gunfights/explosions, the e3 build did.

 

[sonycowboy]

Well, it pretty clearly shows that the GCN isn't the most graphically amazing game of all time and that the PS2 is easily doing it justice. It'll be interesting to see hand on impressions of the moving versions of the game.

 

[Flo_Evans]

the PS2 version looks like it lacks real shadows on Leon. He looks like he is lit with a genaric 'all over' light source.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

The PS2 screens also look way brighter or were taken at a higher contrast.

Thats what I was thinking. They look washed out.

Also, I really think they fucked up the look of this monster

He looked cooler in the GC version. Why did they change the model?

Too much intelligence in this post.

Can we get Zeo in here stat and bring the IQ down?

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

The PS2 version looks better than I had expected, but identical? Hell no, not even close.

Hmm...where might I find this trailer?

no need to, i'll make the post



"WOW YOU GUYS ARE DUMB, GC VERSION CLEARLY LOOKS SUPERIOR. WHO CARES ABOUT HDD LOADING? I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT HDLOADER IS AND IT DOESNT MATTER. DID YOU HAVE TO BUY A HDD FOR THE GAMECUBE TO HAVE SMALL LOAD TIMES? NOPE. LOL. WHY DID YOU GUYS WAIT 10 MONTHS FOR THE PS2 VERSION WHEN YOU COULD HAVE BOUGHT A USED GC AND RE4 FOR ABOUT $80?"

 

[Doom_Bringer]

http://media.ps2.ign.com/media/013/013887/vids_1.html

you can clearly see that the frame rate has improved greatly since the E3 version (in the e3 build the cut scenes were running at good fps but the frame rate during gamepaly was low)

 

[Buggy Loop]

Wtf is this comparison? There's not even a single scene thats the same between ps2 and GC, its even mixed up, YOU SUCK AT THE INTERNET MISTER.

 

[bronzodiriace]

the screens are captured with differente cards

ps2 version lack in poly count-light-texture very low res-screen polish and may other things.

Gc version is in a very superior step.

 

[Ristamar]

Also, I really think they fucked up the look of this monster

He looked cooler in the GC version. Why did they change the model?

Heh, I was wondering if I was the only one who thought he looked different.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Worst compairson shots ever.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

I don't know how you can even think they look identical. Can we get some shots of El Gigante side-by-side?

The PS2 uses probably 1/3 of the polygons in a lot of situations. Look at Leon, he seems to have lost quite a few polys himself.

 

[Leguna]

TO ALL:
I realize the context of the screen shots the method of capturing are different, but until the PS2 version is out, I can't do anything but use what's out there and I tried my best to find similar screenshots. Sorry.

 

[Kon Tiki]

TO ALL:

I look forward to that final judgement.

:lol

I like how can tell what fraction of polys has been lost.

 

[robertsan21]

GC is so much better.

colors look washed out and dull on the PS2 version

 

[LakeEarth]

Also, I really think they fucked up the look of this monster

They didn't...

Spoiler

There are 4 El Gigante monsters in the game.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Spoiler

They did. I played the game long enough to know - that's a different model than what was in the GC version.

 

[LakeEarth]

He looks the same to me.

 

[SantaC]

How about comparing the game in motion instead of some crappy screens?

He looks the same to me.

nope.

 

[Ristamar]

He looks the same to me.

He looks similar, but it looks like the textures were dragged through some sort of fugly filter and some polys were lost in the process. Perhaps I'm just not remembering him correctly...

 

[Ponn]

Graphics don't matter right? :lol

 

[Borys]

Leguna - you fucking suck at comparisons.

Let me show you how we do it in Europe:

[SpokkX]

ouch GC version really slaughters the ps2-version

gc-version has a kind of graphic quality that makes it seem unlike any other game..

where the ps2-version kind of seems like a silent hill game graphic wise..

 

[robertsan21]

looks the same to me

PS2 fanboys just cant accept that graphics on GC is better?

 

[LakeEarth]

He looks similar, but it looks like the textures were dragged through some sort of fugly filter and some polys were lost in the process. Perhaps I'm just not remembering him correctly...

Yeah the texture/detail on him has gone down but he said they changed the "model". It's the same model, just looks worse because of the graphical downgrade (what really makes him look bad is that the 'lava haze' and red lighting isn't there to make the monster stand out).

PS2 fanboys just cant accept that graphics on GC is better?

I'm a fucking Nintendo fanboy! I don't even own a PS2 :lol

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Yeah the texture/detail on him has gone down but he said they changed the "model". It's the same model, just looks worse because of the graphical downgrade.

His face is different as well. The model was changed if polys were removed. He doesn't look the same.

 

[fugimax]

The lighting in the GCN version is far superior. Look for shadows/highlights on the models and environments. The PS2 has many flat-lit surfaces, while the GCN has a "deeper" feeling to it.

 

[Solid]

PS2 fanboys just cant accept that graphics on GC is better?

and nboys cant accept that this version is superior with awesome new content?

:lol

 

[Dr_Cogent]

and nboys cant accept that this version is superior with awesome new content?

:lol

If superior means that it has less detail than the original - then yes - it is superior.

 

[u_neek]

PS2 version looks kinda ugly compared to the GC version..

 

[LakeEarth]

His face is different as well. The model was changed if polys were removed. He doesn't look the same.

Well admittedly I don't think I've gotten a good look on that one. I've only beaten the game twice and I think both times that model went down into the lava pit so maybe you're right.

 

[robertsan21]

and nboys cant accept that this version is superior with awesome new content?

:lol

i own this game on GC and i didnt even finish it as i found it to be boring!
so i do not care much for RE4 but to say that the PS2 version looks the same as the GC version is not right!

but hey the screens are not from the final build of the game maybe so it might become nicer when its released.......

 

[Solid]

well the only difference i see is that the colour is better on the gc. but when you look at the trailer there is no difference what so ever. guess it looks real good in motion.

 

[Rocket9]

"This one or this one? This one or this one? This one or this one?"

 

[Razoric]

someone post the PS2 trailer

 

[ToyMachine228]

As of now since the PS2 version isn't out, and we haven't seen the whole game and whatnot, there is really no way to say anything and have it be the official word. Personally I'm assuming that the PS2 version will still look good, but not quite up to par with the GameCube version. But that's just me.

 

[Ponn]

well the only difference i see is that the colour is better on the gc. but when you look at the trailer there is no difference what so ever. guess it looks real good in motion.

See suddenly the whole N-bot faction who normally doesn't give a shit about graphics suddenly became masters of discerning textures, polys, framerates and shadowing.

In truth i'm waiting for the posters of the pics to say they mixed up the labels for each one :lol

There are some texture differences, some shadows missing off Leon but honestly I am hugely surprised of the knock up job Capcom done on this. For those that held off on getting RE4 on the GC for the PS2 version I still say your dumb for waiting and depraving yourself. For those that had no choice to wait you are in for a treat. It's closer to comparing a GC game to a Xbox game then a PS2 game to a Xbox game. Most people will not be able to tell the difference on a regular TV from the looks of things. .
