Title: Best character texture art on PS2 games
Post by: Nando on November 01, 2013, 08:02:59 AM
Been looking at PS2 titles that I never got to play, one of them being Rygar.
The game play seemed GoW-ish and the texture work seemed really nice.
So which PS2 games had a above avg visual flare/texture work?
If you are so inclined include any other games for other systems from that generation. I believe there was a sequel to Rygar on the Wii that looked great.

Star Ocean 3 looked awesome even though portions of the game made me want to slash my throat.
same with Valkyrie Profile 2. That game was pretty awesome looking.

FF9 is the KING of PS1 graphics hands down. The battle scenes are just ridiculous

the game was developed for the PS1 but took too long to release so they moved on to make it on PS2 that's why it was such an early title for the system.

Well color me informed. How neat.
I wonder if that's what will happen to that one game with the giant Griffon looking beast.

Metal Head on 32X eh? interesting. That screen shot does have some solid textures, didn't think the 32X could do that.
Anime headshots for posterity: (http://oi47.tinypic.com/2dccyf5.jpg)
DISCLAIMER: I like the 32X.
Back on topic, Magna Carta for the PS2 looks pretty good despite being a piece of shit game. The character designs from Hyung-tae Kim definitely don't hurt it though. (boobs and thighs everywhere!) (http://cdn4.spong.com/screen-shot/m/a/magnacarta192874l/_-Magna-Carta-PS2-_.jpg)

Kim's artwork is fantastic. That exagerated limbs stuff looks great with his characters fashion. Not since JoJo's have we had wicked awesome fashion.
