I hate when people think there is a magical knob that you can turn that tones a game down ever so slightly "jag up the edges a bit, that'll do!". Its just not that simple. As you have said the consoles run on totally different architecture. And if you were to try and make these games on PS2 or GC, you would have to lessen the AI, shrink the area's, lessen the number of enemies on screen, lessen the speed, lessen the effects, totally rework the physics, have much less happening at once etc... not to mention try to program it from the ground up. Hence it would no longer be the same game, thus a feasable port is not possible.

Now more upto date compare you ask... ok RE:4 to Halo 2 oh and sorry didn't see a big jump in graphics from Halo to Halo 2.Well RE4 looks good, but it uses pre-rendered backrounds, thus most of the polygon power of the GC can go into the character models etc.. But I would still say that NG or Halo2 do look better than it. But I suppose thats all down to personal opinion. Oh and there is a very big jump from Halo to Halo2, seriously the jump is very noticable.
As for SC2 morg, yes each version is pretty much identical (They are based on PS2 arcade hardware afterall). But I own the X-box version and what I noticed is that when it gets effects heavy the PS2 and GC versions slow down but the X-box version does not, which to be honest I was a little but surprised at the slowdown but anyway, thats not really important, just pointing it out. As for my opinions on Link and SC2 then you can look back to page 2.
