konami and their fucked up...

2017-02-02 11:09:12 UTC  

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

2017-02-02 11:09:16 UTC  

It freaks the fuck out of me

2017-02-02 11:30:01 UTC  

Idk my graphic standards are kinda low

2017-02-02 11:31:07 UTC  

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

2017-02-02 11:31:12 UTC  

I think MGS2 is a spectacular looking game

2017-02-02 11:31:29 UTC  

but on a new console, that shit is fugly

2017-02-02 11:31:37 UTC  

MGS2 is nothing special compared to MGS3

2017-02-02 11:31:42 UTC  

True

2017-02-02 11:31:59 UTC  

dude, MGS2 was magnificient for its time

2017-02-02 11:32:08 UTC  

shadows, reflexions

2017-02-02 11:32:17 UTC  

It was good for an early PS2 game

2017-02-02 11:32:22 UTC  

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

2017-02-02 11:32:23 UTC  

a lot of graphical details

2017-02-02 11:33:30 UTC  

What the fuck

2017-02-02 11:33:40 UTC  

wtf

2017-02-02 11:34:00 UTC  

Art

2017-02-02 11:35:22 UTC  

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

2017-02-02 11:36:03 UTC  

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

2017-02-02 11:41:07 UTC  

real time reflexions, directional shadows, etc

2017-02-02 11:41:18 UTC  

it was really well done for its time

2017-02-02 12:01:41 UTC  

I think it was able to do that since the areas were tiny

2017-02-02 12:06:04 UTC  

Those reflections are actually that old method of having another model of the character on the other side, while the floor texture is just a little transparent.

2017-02-02 12:07:04 UTC  

(not that it makes it any less spectacular)

2017-02-02 12:10:01 UTC  

RUINED IT

2017-02-02 12:10:04 UTC  

HOW DARE YOU

2017-02-02 12:10:18 UTC  

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2017-02-02 12:10:51 UTC  

I was messing with it the other week ago, making the floor / walls more transparent to make them shiny. xD

2017-02-02 12:15:48 UTC  

off course they had to use cheap methods @Sexy Zombie Roo

2017-02-02 12:16:02 UTC  

the PS2 had cheap hardware lol

2017-02-02 12:16:29 UTC  

still, the final product looks amazing for its time

2017-02-02 12:18:30 UTC  

doing such thing without using cheap tricks would require you to use raytracing

2017-02-02 12:18:53 UTC  

and you can forget about any realtime or 60 FPS, even with current highend hardware if you use that, even for low poly games like MGS2

2017-02-02 13:09:39 UTC  

it's like that old duke nukem reflection trick

2017-02-02 13:10:10 UTC  

the mirror is an invisible wall and behind it is a copy of the room and a duplicate of the player

2017-02-02 16:57:50 UTC  

STOP RUINNING THINGS
