How powerful is the PS2?
The games out now ie "F1 2001" graphically look great and play superb. But i remember when the original Playstation came out we where saying how good games like wipeout looked. Then games took a giant leap in becoming better, take "Gran tourismo" for example it showed just how powerful the playstation was. So what about the PS2, Will the same happen? I hope so! If this is the case then think how brilliant future games for the PS2 will be! Make me glad to be one of the happy owners.

I think the graphics on F1 2001 are pretty solid, if not astounding. Great gameplay though. Check out GT3 screenshots and movies if you want something with the 'wow' factor.

Yes in time the PS2 will have graphics like the first PS1. Some computer experts think that in about 18 months - 2 years computers will be able to generate graphics that look like the CGI graphics from films like Toystory 2 and Final Fantasy The Movie.

Something about that statement just doesn't sound right! :-)

I don't care about the power, I want a PS2 to play the new games which are not coming out on the PS1.

For games not coming out on the PSOne or any other console, the PS2 is getting there slowly. We have had ZOE, Shadow of memories and will soon be getting Extermination and Onimusha, the future is bright, the future is Sony.

compare ridge racer to Gran Turismo 2.

Martian Gothic to Dino Crises 2.


Game Developers get used to and better at making games for the console and they improve all the time.

People want these improvements yesterday though. I think that the graphical differences between the games are not of any real consequence, but pick up GT and then go play GT2, then you will see where the advances were truely made, in the handling and physics of the game.

What I mean is that the PS1 looks crap the graphics are rubbish. The PS2 has amazing graphics. But in time the PS2 will have graphics that look crap they will be what I think of the PS1 now. I am not good at explaining things with words, thats why I only got C's for GCSE English and that why I didnt do it at A-Level iam crap at English and Spelling.

The graphics on the PSOne are far better than they were when the Playstation first came out, because games companies can utilise the hardware better. The PS2 will have the same evolution of graphics in their games over the entire life of the PS2, does that help??
