Video game series often outlive consoles and this means developers get the opportunity to rebuild their same games and characters on new and more powerful hardware for each new generation of consoles.
Whilst games improve also graphically during a consoles lifetime; moving from 1st to 2nd and even to the 3rd+ generation(s) , the main graphical jumps come at the dawn of each new hardware iteration.
So PSU have created a selection of montages to illustrate this 'evolution' of gaming. Enjoy!

From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
A new set of screenshots were shared, showcasing the latest version of an RTX Remix Mod for GTA: San Andreas.
Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.
Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.
Just wish the shots were a little bigger!
poorly done....mario photo opens mgs in full screen...GTA does not work...
and where is tomb raider? that would have been a good one considering how the image has changed or how about fifa or Madden rather than halo twice and 2 car games. GT should be displayed rather than PGR simply due to it being an older franchise.
IF you are only going to have that amount shown....display a wider range.
/rant
other than that is is interesting to see how graphics have evolved.
Oh, one last rant-the images all looked VERY similar....that is due to the size im guessing and not a very good representation as Tekken 2 looks almost as good as the PS2 version and the same with MGS. This is obviously not true in real life lol.
basically....i feel this was a good idea but poorly executed.
I agree the pics are so small and such poor quality you can't appreciate the differences. GTA 4's close up and Halo 3's rocks in the back ground are the only way you can tell differences with out working at it. MGS4 well i dont know what i'm looking at to make any calls is it CGI?.
I did not realize this was from PSU that explains everthing after going in the site seeing halo with two comparisons comparing two finished games with a Beta explaines it. It also explains why a PS3 fan would get news from a PS3 site and try to make some fanboy point trying to justify it by showing a 360 game in its beta form with place holders put in place. Halo twice? with a betta build. who did this a 14 year old Sony fanboy?.

Edit: No, that FFVXIII isn't in-game, but PSM said FFXIII (so far) looks identical to Spirits Within. What other game can look as good as that movie??? Even Crysis can't boast those visuals...
