Gotta disagree. RE4 is definitely an amazing looking game, but I just can't concede that RE4 with it's cop-out letterbox format and terrible HD support compares to Ninja Gaiden running with all the perks the Xbox makes possible. RE4 is a bit of an ugly mess on high end, far far below Ninja Gaiden, Doom 3 or Splinter Cell- CT. But you're making a big deal about art and I agree that that's important. RE4 is an artistic masterpiece. But it's technically too imperfect. I can't disagree more with the ''GC matches the Xbox'', heck, I even think the PS2 beats the GC. Sly, Killzone, Devil May Cry, God of War, MGS2-3, Jak, ICO/Wanda, Zone of the Enders, GT... the PS2 has more graphical triumphs than the GC, IMO. The best PS2 games look at least as good as the best GC games not named RE4. |

"The best PS2 games look at least as good as the best GC games not named RE4." Agreed, but I was citing Resident Evil 4 as a gold standard- so much higher than other GC games. Most GC games are sub xbox and even ps2, but Res 4 shows what it is capable of. It could be the genre, or that it's so good in every other respect that I'm prepared to forgive it, but I don't think the letterbox detracts from it at all. If anything, it adds to the claustrophobic feel and also lends a cinematic quality to the proceedings. I have Ninja Gaiden as well and as impressive as it (and DOA Ultimate) is, I really wouldn't say it's technically superior to Res 4, even if you prefer it from a sylistic POV. Although, I lack HDTV, so I cannot judge in that respect. **WARNING SPOILERS* The flames when the monk's flaming mortars land, the way Leon's hair moves about, the blurring of the air as scythes are thrown at you, all flawless IMO. |

Yeah HDTV makes a huge difference, it really separates the men from the boys. I don't want to downplay RE4's visual splendor because it's an artistic wonder, but it really does look prety gross compared to high end Xbox games. HDTV is worth every cent, man, night and day. They won't be too expensive by Xmas, you should get one. You wouldn't wanna play Half Life 2 in 640x480, and you won't wanna play next gen in 480i! I agree GC's a pretty powerful system and nobody really pushes it. Better to put your ambitious games on the Xbox or PS2 where they can be pushed much farther or be played by more people. |

I've yet to see HDTV in the flesh (I can't afford a new big TV at the moment, so I save myself the heartache by not going to the stores in the first place), but I may have ot check it out. |

depends on how good a job they do of exporting it. what I've seen so far, mgs3 looks way better than re4. |

american games look like plastic action figures fighting each other on a child's unimaginative playset. i'll wait for ps3 which will surely have more games like katamari damacy and ico. |

It's a good investment but do plenty of research if/when you look into it. It's a freaking daunting task. Tridenti- I think it's going to surprise people. There are plenty of PS2 games that look nearly as good as RE4. God of War being a recent example, better looking than all GC games bar RE4 and Metroid. I'm definitely going to at least rent it to play with the new weapons and whatever else they add. |

Video games are a touchier subject than religion, war or circumcision! Just look at the IGN or gamefaqs console boards. Topics like this are a call to arms, baby. |
