most of todays graphics could be made on older consoles with alot of engineering

the cartridge based systems, you can put a 30GB flash in one and add a Co Proccessor and GPU to make it look like some games today. the disc based consoles are harder to do to make it like todays. if it was a ps1 or saturn, 9 discs would be needed but it could be done. if it was ps2 or gamecube or original xbox,they can push the consoles to do HD and add better detail on the discs to make them close. the ps2 and xbox have games that do 1080i and they look like early current gen games. half of gamecubes library already does but at 480p.

I would love to play some Crysis on my Intellivision. I say go for it.

Uuum...no.

lolwut?

:lol:, good thread

Baldur's Gate II requires somewhere around 30% and 40% more disk space than Twilight Princess.

Here's Baldur's Gate II:

Here's Twilight Princess:

So, yeah... There you go.

"Super optimization" can only take you so far. The hardware is more crucial than space if you're looking for graphics. Let's try putting The Witcher on a Gameboy Advance cartridge and see how that holds up.

I think it's a lot more complicated than you make it out to be. Like... A lot more.

Okay, I'll go play Crysis on PS1 then :P

External graphics card case fo laptop PCs.

ViDock solution enables laptop PCs with ExpressCard** slot to use desktop PC's video cards.

Are you sure you want cartridge size like ViDock box?

**The laptop's ExpressCard must implement the full ExpressCard resource allocation process.

Whats that game?

Wow. Dumbest thing I've heard so far in 2011.

That's not exactlytrue. Look at the Neo Geo carts. Bigger carts allowed for more space and more frames of animation. It's also worth looking at the the SNES's FX cart that produced quite primitive 3D, although fully legitimate 3D.

No.....?

Haha well at least this thread was good for a laugh or 2.

So you are saying Crysis would be possible on a PS2 like it is on the PC? :lol:

So consoles > PC...

I KNEW IT ALL ALONG!!!!! :P

Haha, are you saying storage space is the main variable behind graphics capability? Ibacai

What about heat, power, and size? God, I hope this is a joke thread.

The SuperFX added a 20mhz coprocessor and a graphic decompressing chip.

The sad part is that people actually believe that the the larger the storage medium the better the graphics (ie Blu-ray).

Most of the concepts can be done on prior consoles...but the free roaming worlds seamless, the poly intensive graphics, the amount of info onscreen....NO.

I think what you ment to say if that most modern games could be made on older consoles if they used very downgraded graphics and physics or different engines. For example GTA IV could be done on the PS2 using the San Andreas engine. But of course it wouldn't look nearly like GTA IV on the modern systems looks like.
