Did you notice differences in last-gen and this-gen games specifically in FPSs, when turning or moving?

Question

I was playing halo 2 the other day on my old xbox. I noticed something different when turning around or looking around. In xbox 360 games, when turning, the walls and other textures looked smooth and looked like motion blur - e.g. Gears of War. In Halo 2, the walls just looked blurry when I was looking around. Does anybody else notice this? What could be causing this? frame-rate?

Answer 1

There are different effects that can be added now. Due to the extra power of the newer consoles they can add fancy particle shading and motion blur effects without drop in graphic quality. Its just a question of having more power and being able to add more effects to make the game prettier. You can expect more of the same when Halo 3 comes out.

In case you would like to know even if you play Halo 2 on the more powerful 360 you will still not get the motion blur effects because the game was not programed with it. Halo 2 was developed for a system that could not handle those types of effects (original Xbox) which is not anything bad about the system its just the technology that was available at the time.

Answer 2

no
