PSO2 looks like PSU HD (graphics).

[Emizel]

I'm looking back on some PSU videos, and you know...

PSO 2 doesn't look all that much better than PSU. just at a higher resolution.

I really hope they upgrade PSO 2's graphics at some point...

The Graphics look a hell of a lot better to me, are you playing with the graphics settings on mid or low?

[Meji]

Uhm, I don't think so. Graphics are better, and doesn't strangle the CPU in the same way PSU did.

[Emizel]

of course they are somewhat better but I'm just saying considering the 6 year difference in release dates, the graphics for PSO 2 are pretty subpar. things look really jaggy and character models & faces look like crap when they aren't zoomed in like in the character creation screen (which is always)

enemies don't look much better than PSU's either, vol dragon basically looks like nearly the same model was used.

some of the graphics are actually WORSE than PSU. have you seen the urban/city EQ textures? I want to be sick thinking about it

Graphics are somewhere between Nintendo DS and Dreamcast.

I swear there's a thread about this game's weird graphics every month.

Try turning on Ambient Occlusion + some AF + FXAA makes them game look pretty good. Especially when played on a larger 1080+ monitor. Furthermore, the animations are greatly improved IMO, and many other features.

I wonder if OP is playing this game in a toaster....

Considering the original PSO was on dreamcast, this is horribly inaccurate (which I guess is the point, but I fail to see why you would even bother saying it).

The game's graphics aren't even on the level of maxing out what you can do on the 360/PS3 - which makes sense, considering how much can be going on during a typical MPA boss battle. Still, I wish they'd throw a few bones towards players like me who have really powerful PCs. I say this a lot, but damn, they really dropped the ball on this one, didn't they?

Though I will say that it's a pretty far cry from "PSU HD". Different environments, for starters, plus the characters are a huge step up thanks to high-resolution textures, a tripled polygon count, normal mapping, and actual use of shaders.

uhh, I have a really powerful PC. I'm playing this game with the ingame graphic options maxed and extra options added by my graphics card setting. it still doesn't look good.

what makes you guys think I have a bad PC from my comments? are we playing the same game? for example have you seen the urban city stage that I mentioned above? *puke*
