Or sometimes it just makes the game run better on the computer.

well, you don't really need to to that to know the limitations of the game considering the console it was developed for

300MHz CPU with 32MB ram and a GPU of 150Mhz...

that's the specs of the PS2

To know the extent you do

well I was still young at that time and I didn't really know much about game design but I already expected such thing

I was 14 when SH2 was release

I remember when I first seen Silent Hill 3 on the back of the MGS2 manual. I was in awe with the rustic look.

First time I ever heard of Silent Hill.

Little did I know it would someday become one of my favorite series.

It was on the back of themanual in the Substance version.

oh, yeah, substance ^^"

I was about to say

first release of MGS2 is older than SH2

I wouldn't expect SH3 advertisment in that

^ First release is 2001. xD That release is 2003.

MGS2 is 2001, SH2 is 2001 😉

oh my bad, silent hill 2 is a month older than MGS2

konami and their fucked up...

@Sexy Zombie Roo I don't know how you play games without textures

It freaks the fuck out of me

Idk my graphic standards are kinda low

I don't care a lot about graphics, especially on old stuff

I think MGS2 is a spectacular looking game

but on a new console, that shit is fugly

MGS2 is nothing special compared to MGS3

True

dude, MGS2 was magnificient for its time

shadows, reflexions

It was good for an early PS2 game

The thing is I think most PS2 games hold up today graphically

a lot of graphical details

What the fuck

wtf

Art

no but seriously, even for late games on PS2, MGS2 is still freaking beautiful, especially the lightning, etc

MGS3 looks better, true, but MGS2 was more revolutionary graphicaly wise

real time reflexions, directional shadows, etc
