Graphics just keep getting better and better, don’t they? Look at the improvement from Devil May Cry to DMC2, SSX to Tricky. They get better through the ages. And that’s my question – when will the best possible graphics arrive and why don’t we have the graphics of the sequel in the original game?

If the sequels graphics are better than the originals then surely the power to make the graphics as rich as the sequel’s was available when the first game was in production?

Every game on the PS2 should stretch the graphical capabilities like Metal Gear Solid 2 did. Do developers discover new techniques when producing the sequel, or do they hold the possibilities back so the sequel looks better?

The graphics we see in Vice City and Tony Hawk’s 4 must have all been around when the prequels were made, so why weren’t they used?

Yeah. Grphics are cool, but they shouldn't distract you from the game, unlike the tragic MGS2... Ah, great game, graphics were too good, spoiled the game. Oh well, maybe they'll focus more on the games.

In simple speak. A games graphics has the same capabilities as it's sequel. But the sequel has better graphics.

This is possible because usually a game engine is already established, so attention to prettiness can commence.
