Aparently, Konami has found a way to make the PS2 perform projected shadows.

But wait, Splinter Cell didn't have them due to hardware restrictions, right?

Well, Ubi Soft didn't have the time to for PS2 Splinter Cell. They pretty much had to rush out a PS2 port.

The above screenshot from Silent hill 3 is not FMV, that's real-time, believe me. I've seen the recent real-time GAMEPLAY graphics, and yes, they look just like that.


Just wanted to say PS2 can still compete in the graphics department.

yeah S.H.3 looks awesome specially the graphics and the style is great.

Coming to think of it, Konami has really been pushing limits of the PS2. I mean, ZOE was revolutionary in Early 2001, MGS2 was revolutionary in late 2001, and now ZOE2 ans Silent Hill 3 look like the type of games fanboys would claim couldn't be done on PS2.

A While back, one of Sony's 2nd party company, Polyphony Digital said GT3 only took advantage of about 30% of PS2's power. SH3 is probably the peak of PS2's power.

I'd really like to see what the Xbox or Gamecube could do at full polygon-crunching power...
