Is there a PS2 game with better graphics than SotC?
>>
>SotC
What is it vague boy, scared of revealing the title?

Now show the framerates.
>>
>>736667691
No.
>>
>>736667691
Only something cartoony or with a really unique artstyle like ultimate spider-man or romancing saga but they don't have the universal appeal to be called better.

Empty and strached texture terrain is not a benchmark for graphics my guy.
Especially when you have games that looks boderline early ps3 games.
>>
>>736668609
Graphics aren't just on a technical level, they include art direction, which SotC destroys any other PS2 game on.
>>
>>736667691
Nope.

>>736668035
>>736668075
You're both unironic retards. Putting aside those games are static as fuck, most of the time they don't even look good.

it has some pretty advanced lighting effects for the system but I would agree that its scope takes it out of the running for being the peak graphics example.

Not really impressive graphically though, 3 is impressive though.
>>
>>736668727
I was checking it out recently and was surprised by how grungy and low res its textures, it doesn't look bad but sh3 and even 2 to a lesser extent are more crisp looking games.
>>
>>736668904
>Not really impressive graphically though
it is? the post processing and lighting are very strong.
>>
>>736668983
Yeah, I agree. Those games aren't especially good looking either, they're carried by the designs.

art direction of sotc is just boring gray sad mountains, the game is fucking dogshit. why would you larp in 2026 about it? same shit with ICO which is pretty much a 6 hour long Dead Rising escort quest but with retarded puzzles instead of fun zombie killing

not that anon but I disagree. the texture work really stands out compared to most games that gen. even xbox titles like splintercell while they might have superior resolution lag behind in terms of how well integrated the textures are. very dense well thought out detail.

since you're gay you can increase the saturation to 300%, then you might get it
>>
>>736668650
Yes, and SOTC graphics is not peak art direction or graphics, Ico looks way better on both fronts.
>>736668668
I've beaten SOTC at least like 8 or 9 times and it's one of my favorites games of all time, cope.
>>736668793
Didn't say it's completely ugly, just that 90% of this game is empty dead land of streched texture, some of the colossus arenas are usually pretty, and the places with more vegetation, like e5 forest, can have some impressive stuff.

Ico does only one thing better than SOTC, otherwise they're similar but Ico is just older and worse.

Does anybody in here have that webm from an early build of SoTC where there's a load screen with a bunch of neat art featuring a dark sun or something?

I can't find it anywhere.

Based. Thank you, anon. How would you look for this in the future anyway? I don't even know the name of this.

And about the webm itself, it's fascinating. Is that their original art? It looks too genuinely like 16 century etchings. I wonder why didn't they incorporate it somehow because it fits the mood of the game.

When you look though a 10x resolution emulator, in graphics fidelity, they're both on par with each orther.
The thing that makes Ico better is the fact that it's views are highly curated though it's fixed camera angles and also Sotc has to cut and strech it's power though a big open world, if you played on the ps2 Ico looks beautiful, while Sotc looks pretty..sometimes.

Wow, look at that glorious nothing of repeating textures and 3fps birds that (you) had to enhanced though emulation...
I love this game, but you faggots make it seem like something that it isn't, Sotc has many incredible qualities, and graphics isn't one of them.
