Actually to most us Graphic whores REmake and RE0 were the reasons we bought a cube in the 1st pace. It was and still is visually amazing.
Forget the tech stuff and the details behind what does what.
it Looks gorgeous even without self shadowing and what not.
only a tard would think otherwise, or someone more hung up on the tech of it then the actual visual overall end result.
a great couple of games visually, prerendered or not.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
I dunno, Resident Evil Remake graphics made a bigger impression on me than RE0. Maybe because it had a more horror-like atmosphere and was more interesting as a game. Or perhaps it came out first, and after finishing REmake I was kinda used to the high-quality pre-rendered backgrounds. Don't get me wrong though 'cause they were mighty impressive in RE0 as well, but still...
But both games still look awesome...even though they're pre-rendered and all. I really hope we'll be seeing that kind of graphics in realtime next gen.

RE4 looks better, though REmake is still a very good looking game.

I was going to say something similar but ya beat me to it.
Fact is Yes it could have been better as pretty much anything can always be better with time practice and trial and error, that's life in a nutshell.
Why not enjoy it for how pleasing it is though?
now if you wanna start a thread about the technical side debating against RE4 and RE 0 and ReMake then i would support your argument 100%
but just for crisp visuals RE0 and REmake more then stand the test of time and just overall eyepleasing OOOOOhhhhh AAAAhhhhh's!
Unfortunately for me it's hard to be impressed in that manner. Not until each gen comes along and does something I'm not familiar with.
Ever since I started making music, I've since then listened to music differently. The same applies to 3D graphics. But I do think that while things CAN always be better, there are clear standards that have been set, and I see some games failing those standards.

There's only ONE place when you can see a projected shadow in the entire REmake and it's in a very crappy place where probably nobody noticed it:
WTF did they put it there :lol
Artistically speaking I think REmake and RE0 blew every other game away this gen.
the corner next to the stairs that connect the Aqua Ring to the Residence

I thought RE:0 was more interesting as a game just because the gameplay was a bit more deep with the inventory system and the partner system.
but then again I had played RE1 like so long ago and then replaying it with pretty graphics really didnt do alot for me. tho it was still cool just RE:0 was more enjoyable mainly because of this.

I think it's likely that displaying pre-rendered video backgrounds like these is more difficult than you think. It's not a very widely used technique, and the few other attempts I've seen didn't come close to REmake or RE0 (Onimusha, The Longest Journey, for example).

Ah, maybe maybe. That's always been the cry during the system wars. "My console could've done that!" But the simple fact is, it didn't. And a very significant and revealing fact it is, too.

I'm not sure if you're thinking is the same, or what.....but I'll clarify...if a game looks great but somehow doesn't use all these gee-whiz graphical effects and what not, but LOOKS better as a whole then a self-shadowing, high-polygon game or whatever, then the "less technical" game LOOKS better. Polygons don't count for shit if it doesn't add up to gorgeousness. Thats what I mean.

Because it would look far better.
Remember, games are literally illusions. A 3D image is an illusion. There are things that take away from the illusion, and REmake suffered from it (different res for characters and backgrounds) so you could tell which was which. Imagine if the characters were in high res with AA...they would look indistinguishable.
Part of the illusion of 3D is lighting. Take a cube for example. If all sides were the same shade of green, you couldn't really tell what it was. Against a white background, it wouldn't look like much. Add some simple vertex shading, and you can see that it's a cube. Add a blob shadow, and it looks like there's a floor underneath the cube, but it isn't that convincing. Add a volumetric or shader shadow, and it will look very convincing, you can tell it's a cube sitting on a white floor.
If shadows were added to this game, and the res was bumped up...it would be very hard to tell this game from pre-rendered CG. The character models were modelled excellently (and there is no excuse to have anything less) and textured well. Add in the 2 things I mentioned, and I would agree with the original post.
Otherwise, these games are simply just as impressive as the original RE games on the PlayStation. Didn't really go the extra mile to make it work really well. All IMO of course.
Keep in mind that I'm a guy who's even disappointed with the Source engine and I plan to add stuff to it so my MOD could look the best it can.
I think you're missing what I'm saying. Technical prowess matters obviously, but not in terms of debating which games look like shit and which ones look gorgeous in motion. Art and the use of color IMHO goes a long way too. My stance is more on the basis of comparison between games, as not to base graphics on tech, but rather on appearance in motion etc. Often times, better tech will lead to a BETTER LOOKING game, but not always, and thats my point I guess.
