The top pictures are from the 10/19/1999 release of Virtua
Fighter 3tb on Dreamcast. The bottom pictures are from the 3/19/2002 PS2 release
of Virtua Fighter 4. Neither screenshots are of the best quality, they’re relatively
representative of what you’d see on a TV screen. Notice, that even in this state,
you can focus on the finer texture detail in the DC game, yet a similar comparison
of the PS2 game only reveals that there is no fine texture detail. The PS2 game
relies heavily on lighting, glossy reflective surfaces and subtle real time
deformation effects in certain levels. Both games end up looking very comparable,
when the PS2 game should have easily dwarfed the DC port of a game from 1997.
