Naughty Dog Graphics Evolution 1996 - 2020
PS1 vs PS2 vs PS3 vs PS4 Graphics Comparison

I recorded scenes from every Naughty Dog game starting with Crash Bandicoots on PS1 from 1994, then I compared the graphics in this video.
I tried to capture games from the original hardware, but since I don't have a PS1, I had to use PS3 with the built-in PS1 emulator.
PS4 games were running on a base PS4.
(No PS5 or PS4 Pro with higher resolution)
All other games were captured directly from a PS2, PS3, or PS4 with AverMedia Live Gamer Portable.
Footage edited in Black Magic's DaVinci Resolve (free version).
Uncharted The Lost Legacy was not featured in this video, because I don't own the game right now, but it's graphics identical to Uncharted 4.

Thanks for watching my video, if you enjoyed it check out my videos which are similar to this:
