A Visual Reminder Of How Far PlayStation 3 Games Have Come In Seven Years

Yesterday, I wrote a post that featured before and after screenshots of both ancient and modern Xbox 360 games. The point was to show that at launch, most games on a new system aren’t going to look great, and over time, developers learn to harness the power of the console better. The result is that in a few years, the same companies using the same base hardware end up making games that look practically twice as good as their old ones. It just takes time.

Well, the 360 was not a unique case, as a year later in 2006 the PlayStation 3 launched and the same process has taken place over the last seven years. with how many people seemed to like the first post, I figured I’d follow it up with a sequel today. I’ve lined up a similar screenshot comparison below so you can see how far things have progressed on the PS3. I think since Sony SNE -1.14% launched a year later in 2006, they had a slight edge over the 360 in terms of graphical fidelity, but looking back, many of these titles do look pretty rough.

This is of course in contrast to the PS3 games released in recent years, many of which have been some of the best looking games ever to appear on consoles. You’ll find those in the second half of the gallery. Let’s begin:

Call of Duty 3 (2006)

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom (2006)

Ridge Racer 7

Madden NFL 07

Resistance: Fall of  Man

And now for the more recent games:

God of War 3 (2010)

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception (2011)

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (2011)

The  Last of Us (2013)

Madden NFL 13 (2013)

So maybe not as wide a gulf as the 360 post, due to a slightly later launch, but the differences are still stark. So again, remember that even if the next generation of games on the One and PS4 don’t fulfill your wildest graphical dreams immediately, chances are they will someday.
