I'm playing San Andreas in RGB. Are you?

[Anthony1]

Actually, I must admit that I'm not "yet" playing San Andreas in RGB. I have the game right here sitting on my desk, but I haven't recieved my new PS2 yet. It is being shipped and should be here by Friday, I hope.


But the cool thing is, that the minute that I get it, I'm going to hook it up to my 25 inch Sony RGB monitor, and I'm going to go to F'ing town with San Andreas in RGB.

It is going to be freaking sweet!!!!!


Any game on the PS2 that doesn't have a 480p mode, looks much, much, much better in RGB. If the signal is going to be interlaced, then you might as well see it in RGB.

I remember when Vice City first came out for the PS2. My buddy got it, and he took his PS2 to my house and hooked it up in RGB. He was totally blown away by how much extra detail and color and crispness was on the screen.

Anyways, I just think alot of people forget about the fact that both the PS2 and GameCube, for all the non 480p games, the best picture you can possibly get is analog RGB. I think there is only about a dozen PS2 games that are 480p, so 99 percent of the library would look best on a analog RGB monitor. With the GameCube, I would say about 30 percent of the games are 480p, maybe even less, so to play stuff like the first Resident Evil, in the best possible video you can get, is on a RGB monitor.

I know that I'm always pimping RGB, but usually I'm pimping it in relation to the Sega Saturn or the SNES or the TG-16 or the Jaguar or stuff like that. But I must let folks know that the PS2 and the Cube in RGB are also awesome. With the XBOX, no need for RGB, might as well go 480p with all the games. I know that there is like 5 or 6 games that don't have 480p, we'll for those games, just don't play them.

Freaking sweet!!!!!

You forgot to mention playing roms on your Xbox.

Huh? What do you mean, "playing roms on your XBOX"? You mean playing them in RGB? Actually Roms on the XBOX are awesome on a HDTV in 720p mode or 1080i mode, with XBOX Tri - Linear Filtering and SuperScale2x mode activated. At least the NES and Genny are. The SNES looks great in 720p and 1080i too.

I'm playing San Andreas in RGB. Are you?

Actually no.. I'm playing it on a cheapo RF converter on this very tv set.

..the same set I play all Xbox, PS2, and GC on.

Looks like it's that time of the month again for Anthony1... RGB rant time, hahaha.

It's all good, I really should get RGB'd myself. As much as I love San Andreas, many of the blips are hard as HELL to see on a normal, non-HDTV/non-RGB. They definitely made it for top notch TVs.

Actually, it's quite possible that a HDTV would make a game like San Andreas look like crap.


But I'm sure it will shine in RGB.

Games that are normally kinda ugly on the PS2, will look almost like totally different games in RGB.

........

It make pictures pretty?

[Sylentwulf]

On the other hand, I'll be playing it on a 47" widescreen instead of a 25" tube, so I'll actually be able to SEE the characters on the screen! I'll also see the game as it was MEANT to be played. I'll also be writing this post in every RGB post from this day forward. Get. Over. It.

[Nez]

To sum it up in one word: No

In six words: I'm waiting for the Xbox Release.

[EnemyZero]

wow NE, thats an ancient set :P but if it works then thats just fine lol

[scooterb23]

I've got this killer portable TV I play on...it has about a 5 inch screen and is in Black & White...makes San Andreas look like one of those old time gangster movies...

[Djfinny]

Hi all. Sorry for my ignorance on this topic - but assuming you need a TV with RGB inputs - how common is this type of conenction on a TV? My old C64 13 inch monitor had RGB (3 connector) inputs (and BTW the games looked incredible, esp the colors) If needed - do they still sell TV's with RGB connectors? Another question - would RGB make "older" console (2600, Intellivsion etc) graphics stand out more? Thanks for wisdom all

What, exactly, do you mean by "in RGB"?

[mr_jiggles_13]

[Mad Chemist]

it's been a while since I saw my C=64 monitor, but weren't those three conectors chrominance, luminance, and audio? (In other words, S-video plus mono audio)?

Edited to fix quote. Oops.

[FantasiaWHT]

Help a neophyte out...

Can someone explain the difference between all these things? Does RGB = Component video cables? I swear I remember playing old computer games and having to select RGB monitor for something...

=/

[grayrobertos]

I have no idea what any of the RGB stuff means. Can some body post some pics of the differences between RGB and composite. I don't think any of our TVs here in the UK come with the RGB connectors. Can somebody with a bit of knowledge explain all this to me please.
