Dead or Alive 2 / Ultimate | Graphics Comparison | ( PS2 , Dreamcast , Xbox )

[@heilong79]

It was on dreamcast first, then later ported to the PS2 but unfortunately it had really bad aliasing issues which plagued most early PS2 games making them ugly, the Xbox version is technically a different game and been on the more powerful hardware it looks the best.

[@tzbenetti1000]

Yes. Most titles up until 2002 were rendered at 512 x 448. As the games progressively had a considerable increase in the number of polygons because of the immense polygon processing capacity that the PS2 had, aliasing became a frequent problem. Later, developers developed techniques to avoid edge exposure as in God of War. In addition, most of the games came to be rendered at 640 x 448. Even so, many titles from the end of the PS2 era are full of aliasing as FF12 and Shadow of the Colossus. Both have frames with very high frequencies due to the large amount of details and polygons, which allowed aliasing due to the low rendering resolution.

[@geekguitars]

Owned all three, they're all great. The PS2 version had more jaggies but smoother frame rate, better lighting effects and nicer cut scenes. The Xbox version was like a whole different game. I had the most fun with Dreamcast version in all seriousness.

[@SianaGearz]

Dead or Alive 2 was released on Dreamcast in Japan twice. The Japanese Limited Edition contains more cutscenes, stages and costumes and different select screen animation and more closely matches PS2 version for detail, but it's still distinct. Additionally, many framerate drops were remedied.

[@beatnicksodyssey]

All 3 are great, but Xbox does have the best graphics and has the awesome Aerosmith "Dream On" intro movie. Still one of my favorite intro movies of all time.

[@VergilHiltsLT]

1:24, 1:50 and 3:37 to 4:02 is proof PS2 has far better lighting. Not only that, but look at the shadowing on the floor. Too bad most people can't see this, they prefer "crisp" resolution on Dreamcast despite the non-existent character lighting (everything looks bright) and overly sharp character shadows as opposed to PS2's natural soft shadows.

[@Comkill117]

Yeah Ultimate has the unfair advantage of being a remake, so between the DC and PS2 version I’d say the Dreamcast looks a little better. That being said my favorite is Ultimate, but that may be because it was my first DOA Game (I had that 1&2 Ultimate pack on Xbox as a kid).

[@BerninaPoubelle]

[@char_lizard8440]

The character select you can change in the settings. I don't know why the default is set to just a picture.

[@normanroscher7545]

It's not a fair comparison, since - as you said - the X-Box version is a remake, with all new models, textures and especially shaders (which didn't exist in the Dreamcast era). The X-Box was naturally more powerful than the Dreamcast, which was a few years older. The original version of the game was made for the Dreamcast and ported to the newer and more powerful PS2. The later offered a few more graphics effects, like motion blur, depth of field and advanced lighting. However I think the PS2 version looks all blurry in general, and it lacks antialiasing (a big flaw of the PS2, while the Dreamcast had that feature) which is why I prefer the Dreamcast version. And because I like the Dreamcast in general. ^^

[@RookerVision]

+Norman Roscher well the comparison is more there just so people can see differences. I'm not really trying to say which is best. I know I leave a recommendation on which to play, but they are all fun and great versions of the original. I do agree about the anti aliasing. Big problem.

The xbox was stronger as the ps2 and dreamcast, in the time. Xbox Custom 733 MHz Intel Pentium III, Ps2 CPU: MIPS R5900-based "Emotion Engine", clocked at 294.912 MHz (299 MHz on newer versions) Dreamcast, CPU: 128 bits Hitachi SH-4 RISC CPU, systemclock frequentie 200 MHz, 360 MIPS

[@normanroscher7545]

dennis van dijk Yes, but the MIPS architecture of the PS2 was an efficient 64-bit RISC architecture, compared to the Celeron's 32-bit CISC. It provided more power per clock rate. It may have been a bit slower, but it should have been comparable to a 600 MHz Celeron. The Nintendo Game Cube's 485 MHz PowerPC G3 based CPU definitely was significantly more powerful than the X-Box's 733 MHz Celeron. Clock rate is not everything. A 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo war more powerful than a 3.4 GHz Pentium D as well.

PS2 games all had shades that give off a gloss/silk effect, works well sometimes but not so well others, for a 1998 console the Dreamcast hardware wise was sound, easily comparable to the PS2 and Gamecube, obviously the X Box is half a generation ahead so clearly more powerful but Dreamcast held up well.

[@yanceyboyz]

The GameCube is way more powerful than DC or PS2. Look at resident evil 4 as an example.

[@1010thechamp]

@@yanceyboyz Na I wouldn't say the Gamecube is 'way more powerful' than the Dreamcast or PS2, even the original Xbox wasn't that powerful compared to what the spec sheets says, in reality original Xbox was still the most powerful of that generation, but not by a big margin, nor was the Gamecube.

[@yanceyboyz]

@@1010thechamp the GameCube was more powerful than the original Xbox in quite a few scenarios, the ATi and power pc chip inside was phenomenal and the 360 ended up using ATI and power pc because of this fact. The GameCube was hugely more powerful than the PS2, go look at how much they had to cut out of resident evil 4 on PS2, 50% or trees and foliage removed, moving interactive water removed from basement, 70% of textures removed. Lighting removed as well. When you look at that game, the GameCube is a generational leap above PS2. Xbox had higher clock speeds on an older style chip, the ATi and power pc set up in the GameCube was much more modern and became the norm for the next gen after it. The games on xb and GC trade blows, the realtime rendering on twin snakes is incredible and much higher Res than the ps games, it also looks better than the xb ports of mgs games. Then again doom 3 looked brilliant on the xb. The PS2 is very far behind these two machines, it was a 480i machine with the occasional 480p game. It had terrible signal output and the lack of AA makes it look incredibly dated.

I will always choose crisp and colorfull graphics over some extra effects and polygons. At 4:10, why does the xbox have so much aliasing and moiré going on when both consoles output 480p? Does the dreamcast have anti-aliasing and better texture filtering or is it because of video capture quality?

[@xXYannuschXx]

Hard to say if the Dreamcast or PS2 looks better, the image is indeed sharper on the DC, but I think that's because the PS2 version is running in interlaced mode sadly; on the other hand, the lighting looks weird on the DC, it looks like plastic and unnatural somehow, the PS2 looks alot more realistic in some scenes, like 2:04; at the same time, some scenes have that infamous "yellow shader" problem as seen at 3:29.

[@awwrelic]

I've played all three of these over the years; the Dreamcast original (back in 2000) looked incredible at the time. After the PS2 version came out I noticed better-looking backgrounds and effects, but the figures had problems with anti-aliasing, so I still preferred the DC version, Another version was released for the DC that added much more stuff, but it was Japan only. The XBox version is clearly going to be superior to either version graphically, but at the time of it's release (2004) I recall hearing that the engine was actually based on DoA Extreme Beach Volleyball's engine. I still own the PS2 version as well as the DoA Ultimate set, and when I get a hankering for some DoA 2, I usually play the XBox version. Now that I think of it...DoA Ultimate also had the original Sega Saturn version of DoA 1, which was Japan-only for the SS but did come out for the original PlayStation. If you have copies of those, maybe you could do a comparison of them.

Wrong! This video is about comparing graphics and nothing else. The Xbox version has objectively speaking better graphics than the other 2 platforms. It isn't even a fair comparison seeing how the Xbox version is remake running on a newer and better engine. A case can be made for DC vs PS2 though, While overall the DC version looks better I don't like the oversaturated colours, but that on the other hand is subjective. It should also be pointed out that the PS2 version used in this video seem to be the original release of the game, however it was re-released as Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore which had improved graphics. I haven't been able to find any good side by side footage of that version compared though so I don't if it is better or worse than the DC version.

[@RazorEdge2006]

The Dreamcast version is the only one with 480p VGA output, giving it the cleanest picture from the lot. DOA2 was originally released for the NAOMI arcade system, which is basically a beefed-up Dreamcast. It was then released for the Dreamcast, and was then released for the PS2 after that.

[@ReprovedReaper1]

The best video output method isn't what this video is about, it is a straight out graphical comparison between Dreamcast PS2 and Xbox. And what's that nonsense about the Dreamcast is the only one with 480p? The Xbox version of the game is 480p as well. The only thing is that you need component cables to get progressive scan on Xbox

The resolution of the PS2 is 480i.....the cable isn't going to change that. The Dreamcast rendered at 480p, the vga just allowed you to see it.

XBOX FOR THE WIN HANDS DOWN

[@mareo187]

i still have this game too on xbox, and its one of the main doa games that have full replay value due to the unlockable costumes

[@MrVoland44]

Xbox basically remake with DOA3 engine tbh Xbox version not just better looking but also most convinient, since you can easily play it in 4K on modern Xbox consoles thx to BC i like how classic version looks on PS2 too, tho. Dremcast is really off with cartoony-like colours and lightning =/

[@jimmysmomschannel]

That's the most you're getting out of the system at 60fps. Honestly though I wonder if Tekken 3 could've looked like this...

[@lucasmafyo9076]

actually the animated character selector is also available on the Dreamcast, you just need to deactivate the "quick select" option, so it's not true that it's not available on the Dreamcast

[@MrNagant007]

Interesting how the Dreamcast version is the brightest. Xbox version differences seem to really come down to artistic changes, similar to the PS2. It is curious that they would really even bother with these kinds of changes. A lot of these changes will really come down to personal preference. But I think overall the Dreamcast just has nicer graphics. The Xbox has a bit more detail in places, but then the Dreamcast looks like it has superior texture filtering and seems to be using something like 4xMSAA. But, I think running this game in backwards compatibility will do it wonders to clean it up.

[@Hazel_Vanilla]

have you considered using Freemcboot on your PS2? there is an app called GS Mode Selector which allows you to force PS2 games from 480p to 1080p.

[@RookerVision]

+LegacyZeroX I have MCboot. I'll look into the app, thnx for sharing.

[@MKKTeam]

Wesome vid. Just here to point that on DC you cn get the "boobie shot" in the char select screen by going into options and changing the character select settings.

[@CodyHimselfXI]

The Xbox version is just stunning

[@Tibor0803]

Personally, I had the game on Xbox besides the rest of the DOA games came to Xbox like DOA 1, DOA, 3 and the Extreme Beach Volleyball. All in one DOA disc pack. The time when Team Ninja was actually cool. Nowadays they repeatedly release the same episode of the game like DOA5 simple edition, DOA5 Ultimate and the Last Round.

[@TheHardcoreGamer1]

The dreamcast has the same character selection animations as the others. It only fades away because of a setting in the options that the dreamcast version has on by default for some reason.

[@orti1283]

The dreamcast backgrounds are more pleasant to look at

[@CplDwayneHicks11]

Dreamcast version all the way for me. As you can edit your own version with Neo Hex editor & adx encoder. Should look up mrgreenranger Dead or Alive 2 Final see the potential!

[@RookerVision]

+CplDwayneHicks11 Green Ranger huh, like the power Ranger? That's awesome

[@GraveUypo]

+CplDwayneHicks11 you can do that even more easily on the xbox version. the xbox version is the best hands down. more characters, much better graphics, more different levels and so on.

[@RookerVision]

+GraveUypo Gotta say, after playing all of them, I'd say Xbox, Dreamcast, PS2

[@CplDwayneHicks11]

Yeah the Xbox still love Tengu season changes amazing effects. I took one best feature from the Xbox version that was Hitomi voice announcer over to my Dreamcast version. You can fully play as Lauren, Helena's mother, Zack's Rabbit on the DC mod & play on unassailable stages like the Desert fully. I really like the original arcade Naomi graphics just perfer the anime type graphics like Tekken 3 before it went "real".

[@RookerVision]

Yeah I get that. I like the Anima style graphics too. Too bad dreamcast went under. I bet if it stuck around they would of made a controller with 2 joysticks and games with better graphics than ps2.

[@travosk216]

I remember being 13 and seeing this at my cousin's house. he did not let me play it however

[@conorsulli]

The dreamcast version really pops but I thought this game could go up to 1080i on the xbox or was that just DOA1 that came with DOA Ultimate on xbox?

[@BoogerNoe]

PS2 best version, best arenas!

[@BoogerNoe]

@NV 2A The asian temple arena with the dragon and the balconies is much better in the PS2 version and so on. Overall PS2 has the best atmosphere and furthermore english voice acting.

[@BoogerNoe]

@NV 2A Yes! Graphics is not everything. PS2 wins!

[@chrisbandicoot4190]

bought this on psn as a ps2 classic, It looks pretty good upscaled to 1080p stretched with smoothing on :)

[@targetrender9529]

No stretched! Use the original aspect ratio if playing it on a BC PS3.

[@elluciano5808]

I've Got an Question. ¿How Do You Get Kasumi With the big Ponytail in The Dreamcast Version? When i play she Has An Small One.

[@MrHeRbMaN007]

thanks for the great comparison!

[@RookerVision]

No problem. Glad you liked it.

[@RookerVision]

Thank you very much. Thank you for watching. - Jurassic Ninja

[@Ashitaka0815]

You should have disabled quick select on Dreamcast in order to get 3D Models on the character select screen like the PS2 version.

[@Diplomat35]

I personally like the PS2 version best, the contrast on the Dreamcast version can be intimidating.but I can see why people likeit

[@HYPNOGLANCE87]

Ive been buying video games for a long time like everyone else,im also a sorter since i have a tick where if i don't like the sortment i rearange them in another order at times.And when i was sorting out all of my games i didn't realize i own all 3 of the DOA2 games lol.Except for the japanese dreamcast DOA2 game which idk whats different about it.I think the dreamcast has more color but the xbox version is more detailed and the ps2 has more lighting in the background.
