"Arcadia"

I walked into an arcade, chocker-block full of the latest games machines. Crazy Taxi, Confidential Mission, and Virtua Tennis were among them. Then I got home, after spending roughly £10 playing on them all, and a tenner well spent it was, too.

I went on the internet, to find out how much these games had rated compared to others, to see if the console versions were as good. Then, looking at the screenshots, I realised there wern't.

There was a big difference between the quality of the graphics in the console compared to the arcade's. The arcade version was much better. Later I went over to my mates house, who had recently bought Tekken Tag on his PS2. There is was again. The Tekken Tag I was playing on at the arcade had much more powerful graphics than these, much better.

After I wiped the floor with his Eddie butt, using none other than Yutsomishi (or whatever his name is!) it made me realise one simple question:

Why are arcade graphics better than those in console games?

I need answers!

I think that is simply because arcade machines are more powerful. Arcade machines cost thousands of pounds and are more powerful. The hardware of them is updated more regularly than that of a console. Also the screen in an arcade machine is likely to be of higher quality than that of a normal TV. It is the screen that is in the end responsible for how well we see the graphics of a game.

It is true it said in one of the reports on game network they do it on purpose to get money in. Spose you should blame it on the the people who make pirate games.

No I doubt that is correct Quazi. Some games (like Time Crisis) don't even come out on console, and it would be stupid to make the graphics better deliberately anyway.

I suppose if arcade machines looked as good as or worse than consoles, why would anyone play them? I'm not saying that DC/PS2 games are intentially made worse, just the arcades are intentionally made better.

(Why did you spell it wrong the first time, and then correct the second?)

I'm not too sure.

(I bet people are thinking they should reply: "Did you say it intentionally?")

The graphics are better cause of the game trade, you go into a arcade store see a game play on it think kool that was a great game go next door buy the game get home play it and it is really bad.
It is a big kind of legal money scam that is legal becuse no information is put by the side of the game like buy this game next door or doe this. The game developers aim for a game to be published and recognised and somewhere along the line's it turned into a sham demo's are made better than a part of a game so people will by it. All it is is a big scam that is costing me and you loads. What the gaming industrie is trying to do is get our money and pocket it then it will not go to companies it will straight to there pocket it is a big scam so do not waste time and money on arcade games.

Thanks for reading
