Note: BeyondUnreal only allows 25 screenshots per post, therefore I have split my OP post into two separate posts.

Finally! I've finished taking the pictures I wanted to compare graphics from Vegas1 to that of Vegas2. Take a look at the pictures below, and then make your vote.

Please note: In order to be fair, I had to turn off antialiasing in Vegas2 (because there is no antialiasing support on NVidia cards for Vegas1). Otherwise, the comparison wouldn't be fair now, would it? :rolleyes:

Near the middle of this thread, I included a few screenshots from Vegas2 with anti-aliasing. :) Notice the temperatures I am getting on my graphics card with anti-aliasing on. :(

I think Vegas 1 is a better game in every respect.

I prefer the way Vegas 1 looks, but vegas 2 clearly has better graphical capabilities.

But those capabilities aren't used at all in Vegas2... There's small evidence of bump mapping, but it seems Ubisoft doesn't know what "parallex" mapping is yet.

"Parallax", but yeah, RSV2 is a VERY underwhelming game graphically. It shows sloppy work and I hope to god it was a very, very junior team that worked on the art aspects (bump/parallax/lighting), because it just looks...well, not good. Gameplay is pretty decent though, run button was mucho helpful.

Never played any of them, but looks like Vegas 1 is the clear winner here. And that graphical blurring you see, looks like the texture wasnt loaded in or you were too far away and thus it renders a low rez texture to improve performance.

I had motion blur set to High for both Vegas1 and Vegas2.

I noticed that throughout Vegas2, there was pretty much no "ambient" noise, that is: No traffic jam noise, no car alarm noises and no police/ambulance/firetruck noises. It sounds trivial, but believe me, those noises made Vegas1 feel like a LOT more of a "Las Vegas" experience than Vegas2.

Vegas2 had no ambient noise. Sad. If I'm in a convention center that looks like E3, I expect to hear game-noises of a sort. But I didn't even hear ANYTHING while I was in there! Talk about LAZY GAME DESIGN.

At least Vegas1 tried to be good.
