I play a PS2 on a 3 foot projected screen on my wall, the games look amazing (Dragon Quest VIII looks absolutely stunning) at the basic 640x480 PS2 resolution.
Comparatively I play Metal Gear Solid at 1024x768 on a small monitor and it looks like absolute arse.
Resolution means nothing.

Actually, funny you mention that.
Projectors project light and utilize the vector qualities of light to produce an image, where screens use individual pixels.
Which, while we are on inferior technology, anything that uses LCD, LED or plasma, is inferior to far more advanced methods of displaying an image. (To even a point where there is negligeble difference between 480p and 720p)
Also projectors > monitors.

It's a PC port of a PSX game, of course it would look like arse.
Resolution means more detail can be displayed. obviously it's up to shaders, textures and models though to fulfil the aesthetics.
Playing PS3 and Xbox 360 games, I find it positively ugly, as it's low res for one, and secondly there is no AA.

Geez, just play these games on the medium they're best suited for and they'll look just fine. I still have an SDTV and I have my Wii and PS2 connected to with component cables and the games (especially 2D ones) look just wonderful on it; Better than they ever could if I just plugged these machines into a 720p or higher machine.
Also an SD version of a game can't be inferior if there is no HD version to compare it to.

Insane resolutions on PCs don't do anything for me. Upwards of 1080p, it really all looks the same to me.
The difference in image quality between 720p and 1080p really isn't that much either.
Key fact there though, between 480p and 720p? Big difference in image quality.

Jarrod didn't ban you, I did. You insulted a staff member, that warrants a ban. You've also now come back on and had a go at the same staff member again. The ban is now being extended by another 48 hours.

I love how some people can look at a handful of screenshots and think that gives them enough to judge the value of the final game.
That's like saying "I'm not gonna see Inception, the poster looks crap."

Not the biggest fan of the art style, but it looks OK. I'm most worried about the enemy design. That golbin looks terrible.
