He says it right where you left off the ps2 is using higher rez lower depth 8 bit palletized textures!!!. dreamcast generates mip maps as usual while the ps2 does not use them.'Īre you deaf or simply a numbnuts. Then he says 'textures are handled differently on the ps2 by using 8 bit palletized textures while the dreamcast uses vq compressed textures. Thats the rendering depth for the framebuffer numbskull. Ps2 hardware has many possibilities and the result is there for those who want to see, and not only there cause Dreamcast and the ps2 have more than 30 games in common, in most ps2 textures match the dreamcast (quake 3 revolution) and in other cases it surpasses it (as in 18 wheeler apt) in other cases the assets are modified, at the end of the day ps2 version is better overall.+facepalm+ right where you linked in the vide he said and i quote ' the dreamcast operates at a lower bit 16 bit color depth with lots of visable dithering while the ps2 operates at a higher 24 bit color depth. yes it also talks about vq compression, so we can deduce that it is something even worse than the method seen in ps2. It's no use you won't be able to change reality, the textures of the ps2 version are far superior and the guy from digital foundy clearly says that the ps2 has more color depth. The ps2 half life like most ps2 games runs at a 24 bit frame buffer vs the dreamcast 16bit frame buffer thats internally rendered at 24bit then downgraded to 16bit with dithering to save vram, this is probably what you meant bu have no idea. Or it could be you dont know what youre spewing. You could even go back and look at your digital foundry they mentioed the ps2 used 8 bit palletized texures.

To simplify 8bit textures on ps2 vs 16bit vq compressed lower rez textures on dc + mipmaps. Youre just trolling arent ya because we had like a 10 page conversation on this before you relented and now you going down the same road. Half Life works with 24 bit color depth, as stated in the Digital Foundry video Dreamcast it works with 16 bit.Īssuming that Half Life isn't a good example for a Dreamcast game, at least it serves as an example to show that on the PS2 you find 24-bit textures,Are you serious? We had this chat before, the textures on half life on the ps2 were 8 bit depth palletized textures that were higher rez but lower color depth than dreamcast vq compressed textures, if they so wished they could have done the same on dc considering it can also do 8bit palletized textures but they rather sacrifice the rez over the color depth but ps2 doesnt really have a choice due to lack of vram. Sorry, I just took a while to post because I was expecting other users.
