Video game series often outlive consoles and this means developers get the opportunity to rebuild their same games and characters on new and more powerful hardware for each new generation of consoles.
Whilst games improve also graphically during a consoles lifetime; moving from 1st to 2nd and even to the 3rd+ generation(s) , the main graphical jumps come at the dawn of each new hardware iteration.
So PSU have created a selection of montages to illustrate this 'evolution' of gaming. Enjoy!

The second part of GTA BOOM's interview with Obbe Vermeij where they turn from origin stories to craft. Specifically, how early GTA games created the illusion of life, and why that illusion still matters more than brute-force simulation.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.
Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.
If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."
Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"
Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"
And? What is your point?
Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"
I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:
"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."
So again, what is your point?
In an exclusive interview with GTA BOOM, former Rockstar North technical director Obbe Vermeij reveals how Rockstar North really operated and debunks one of GTA’s biggest myths.
Just wish the shots were a little bigger!
poorly done....mario photo opens mgs in full screen...GTA does not work...
and where is tomb raider? that would have been a good one considering how the image has changed or how about fifa or Madden rather than halo twice and 2 car games. GT should be displayed rather than PGR simply due to it being an older franchise.
IF you are only going to have that amount shown....display a wider range.
/rant
other than that is is interesting to see how graphics have evolved.
Oh, one last rant-the images all looked VERY similar....that is due to the size im guessing and not a very good representation as Tekken 2 looks almost as good as the PS2 version and the same with MGS. This is obviously not true in real life lol.
basically....i feel this was a good idea but poorly executed.
I agree the pics are so small and such poor quality you can't appreciate the differences. GTA 4's close up and Halo 3's rocks in the back ground are the only way you can tell differences with out working at it. MGS4 well i dont know what i'm looking at to make any calls is it CGI?.
I did not realize this was from PSU that explains everthing after going in the site seeing halo with two comparisons comparing two finished games with a Beta explaines it. It also explains why a PS3 fan would get news from a PS3 site and try to make some fanboy point trying to justify it by showing a 360 game in its beta form with place holders put in place. Halo twice? with a betta build. who did this a 14 year old Sony fanboy?.

~afroman featuring power of green
Edit: No, that FFVXIII isn't in-game, but PSM said FFXIII (so far) looks identical to Spirits Within. What other game can look as good as that movie??? Even Crysis can't boast those visuals...
