MODERATORS
Back in 2002 FFXI had special sequences for making your character that pushed the PS2 to it's limit and still look pleasing today. If graphics stayed like this I would be fine with that.
Silent Hill 3, 4 and Haunting Ground had some incredible looking character models on the PS2. The PS2 had a ton of really great looking games on it and I wish there were indie developers out there trying to replicate that aesthetic instead of the PS1
Yeah there's something appealing about how they look. It's a nice level of fidelity while being able to be run on potatoes for the average person.
Gran Turismo 4 had stunning graphics, completely pushed the PS2 to it's limits
Yeah Square did those scenes obviously for promotional material and like you said it didn't match the actual in-game models sadly.
Shenmue's Passport disc did kind of the same thing, having high poly character models for scenes of just talking and no in-game play.
