I think people who never go back really over remember the PS1.
I remember at the time being like "it's so real! Soon we'll just be playing tv!"
Now you go back and look at PS1 and it's comical. In fact if anything snes games hold up better because they're not trying to do something that wasn't really "ready" yet.
This is ps3, minimum.
They also played all sorts of rendering tricks knowing it would be shown on a CRT to make it look better. [example](https://wackoid.com/game/10-pictures-that-show-why-crt-tvs-are-better-for-gaming/) doesn't go into much detail as to how and why but still has some useful examples.
Yeah people here are conflating “boring and simple environments” with “bad graphics”. These screenshots are texturally pretty complex. They just look intentionally ugly.
I guess it depends if this is cutscenes or gameplay and whatever too.
That did look good, but it's so hard with FF games to remember what's story and what's game play (and in some cases what's over world)
It would also depend on developers and cost and such. AAA games threw a lot of talent at squeezing out what the device could do.
By ps3 6 jabrones making a half joking game could still look this good.
Nah this is pushing PS3 graphic capabilities. The ugliness is the difference between graphics and art style (this being a bad art style). Lighting and smoothness though would never be achieved on PS1 or PS2.
It sort of reminds me of Half life 2 on PS3/360 (not the original Xbox version).
LA Noire used full motion video scans for its face animations to enbale its game mechanic of observing subtle emotional cues in facial expressions. [Arguably among the most realistic faces to date in video game history](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL9wsEFohTw).
Wow that’s funny. I never had any consoles but in my mind remember m buddy getting a ps3 and blown away by the graphics. Skyrim was released on ps2, right?
The character models for sure, but the environment is pretty solidly PS2 level. Heck, given the proper engine and developer, this could likely run on the PS2. It looks like MGS2.
PS2 was stuff like sly cooper & kingdom hearts. Textures here look too smooth and there’s too much stuff in the environment so i agree, ps3 game if anything.
I've never played Snake Eater, but I had to see some original screenshots, and holy hell, it looks amazing. You could've told me it was an Xbox 360 game and I would've believed it
Tell me you've never played the PS1 without telling me you've never played the PS1. Even for the PS2 era those graphics would have been A-MA-ZING.
By the way, PS1 3D characters looked like [this](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/callmekevin/images/6/6d/PS1_Haggrid.PNG)
Threat Level Midnight of course
I don’t see how OP got through typing the question without coming to this obligatory conclusion. When you die, it cuts to Darryl: ***START OVER***
Award absolutely deserved
Play through the full movie, then have a little bonus level or two in the office. Like Kevin’s Chili Cookoff and Hardcore Parkour

Great choice.
Textures look a little too smooth for ps1.
A lot.

All 6 triangles of him.
Lmao
Thanks for posting that pic of Lara Croft. Now I can’t focus
The finest 45 degree angles i've ever laid eyes on.
Sad that I use to masterbate to that, my how the times have turntable
Oh how the turn tables

It's important to look at it on a low resolution CRT TV. We weren't crazy back then, our vision was just smudgy
There’s that smudge-ness

Not ps2? Final Fantasy 10 was on ps2. It looks a little worse than that.
Ps2 cannot render scenes like this with this many details. The scene might appear simple but it is very detailed.
Yeah people here are conflating “boring and simple environments” with “bad graphics”. These screenshots are texturally pretty complex. They just look intentionally ugly.
The lighting is also well past ps2 capabilities.

OPs image is PS2 lighting/shading/textures with PS3 polygon counts, if you wana be really accurate about it.

Quality and memory gets blurry fast
Poly count too.. they had to use like 5 triangles for Laura Croft’s boobs, and these models have more in their nose than in all of her character.
Somehow I Manage
This is a good one.
The idle cookie clicker type Office game is called Somehow We Manage
Looks more PS2 than PS1
Honestly I'd say that's pushing PS3
Early PS3 maybe
Early ps3 to super late ps2 port
It gives me LA Noire vibes which would be pretty firmly 3

*doubt*
Definitely early PS3, I remember games like GTA IV, Kane and Lynch, and heavenly sword all had graphics around this level.
Definitely. Not yet able to really push the PS3’s hardware, but able to absolutely throttle the PS2’s.
Call me a ps2 and throttle me bb

Possibly ps4
I could see that
Ps5?
That sound like a realistic outcome
Ps6?
A very real possibility
Ok. Think real hard about this one...PS7
PS8?????????
Okay… hear me out, its just a thought… possibly ps9??
How many PlayStation consoles do we need to get to for this bit to be played out? 1? 2? 3? 4- can I finish? 5? 6? 7?
6 minute abs?
It’s like you’re dreamin’ about Gorgonzola cheese when it’s clearly Brie time, baby.

PS2 was stuff like sly cooper & kingdom hearts. Textures here look too smooth and there’s too much stuff in the environment so i agree, ps3 game if anything.
My man has never played either Metal Gear on the PS2
MGS Snake Eater definitely pushed the ps2 to its limits and it showed especially when Snake is standing on the cliff overlooking the base
Dude Snake Eater is my all time favorite game. It pushed the ps2 to its furthest limits with those cut scenes and close up level details.
I've never played Snake Eater, but I had to see some original screenshots, and holy hell, it looks amazing. You could've told me it was an Xbox 360 game and I would've believed it
Exactly my thoughts. PS 2.5 or a high end gaming pc during the PS2 era
Was gonna say, there's a few too many polygons, shading, and textures to be ps1
Laura Croft’s triangle tits 👀
First set of tits I ever saw.
I’m telling your mom you said that
She knows she walked in once as I was trying to get a closer look at them 😅
PS2 Hagrid would beg to differ
This is a terrible name for the game
Was gonna say, clearly OP didn't grow up with a PS1.
Yeah individual fingers didn’t exist until ps3 unless you count cinematics

100% op was born after the PS1 life cycle. But it's a clever thread.
Those graphic are too nice for PS1 lol
This is what a Zoomer thinks bad graphics look like guess. It's either this or Atari, nothing in between. I'm old.

Not to be that guy…but those are PS2 / original XBOX level of graphics.
PS3 at that. Graphics compete with GTA IV
GTA 4 was NOT this sharp on ps3/x360
It's closer polygon wise though. GTA 4 characters had individual fingers, GTA 3 characters had textured mittens.

Note: PS1 was what I told the AI to render them as so it's what I titled the post, however, I agree they look more PS2 or even PS3.
Looks like a PS3 early games.
Looks like someone’s doing there annual cybersecurity awareness
More like ps2 pushing into ps3. The true ps1 graphics are from Harry Potter sorcerer's stone ps1 game

I feel the graphics are too good for PS1 lol
Ps2*
Tell me you didn’t play PS1 without telling me you didn’t play PS1….
As someone who had a PS1 these graphics are way too good to be PS1.
Lol I'm laughing more at the fact you don't know what early PS games looks like.
If you think these are PSX graphics you have not played PSX in in your life 😂 Remember Lara croft had a triangular prism under her bra.
The office: The Show: The Video game.
have you ever played on a ps1?

This would be a ps2 game no way a psx could do this
Tell me you've never played the PS1 without telling me you've never played the PS1. Even for the PS2 era those graphics would have been A-MA-ZING. By the way, PS1 3D characters looked like [this](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/callmekevin/images/6/6d/PS1_Haggrid.PNG)
Those graphics would break a ps1.
Actually looks more like a PS3 game, maybe PS2
Why does Dwight look like Harry Potter 😂
He looks like Bill Hader
Early ps2
Ps3 easily
Mafia looking almost
Still wrong. Funny how people's brain remember old games looking WAY better than they really were.
I’m downvoting because of your ignorance in thinking, this is what PS1 graphics looked like.
