Yeah GT:5 cars are 200k each, and snakes beard in MGS4 is more polys then one enemy in MGS3
"Yes, but how many polygons?" An artist blog entry with interesting numbers

If we want to do this properly, which isn't a bad idea although stickies themselves are to be kept to a minimum (how about a linkage index thread that links to 'valuable' threads so people don't need to search for them?), people need to add sources. Otherwise they could just be making them up.
Other than that, I'll just add that the dog character in the PS1 game Kurushi Final was made out of 120,000 polygons!!!...

That said, I'd prefer an actual dedicated repository that would be linked to in OP; having it all in here gives way for it to be lost in discussion.
If an official poly-count repository is wanted, we can create a thread just for that, no discussion, and update it with info. People can post in new figures into the thread and I can edit them into the OP and remove the post. That'd be a very clean system open to user contribution.

Always nice to have the original source.
Btw, maybe not a sticky thread for this... but maybe a stickied post with "Links to our Favorite Console 3D/Technology Discussion Threads" or something or the other?

only 100k
Yes my friend but I think we only see 100k. I say this because in video they say "because of new inside view" it is 200k. So really I think outside is only 100k and inside is only 100k.

The same point can be made of every figure here! You don't render the side facing away from camera. This is only a list of model complexity, and not what's being drawn on screen.
I would disagree completely.
The car interior is only rendered when using the cockpit mode, and in that mode, you will never render your cars exterior. So say, if you would want to compare it to other games, a game like say Forza 2, that has no interior cockpit view, it would skew the numbers by a lot.
Completely not true. The car's interior is also rendered when you see the car from the outside. See for instance GT:HD, take the Rally car, and then put the camera in front of the car facing towards the car. You can see the interior of the car, the two(!) animated drivers in the car, and light and shadows on the interior of the car as well as the drivers, etc. Or if you take the Ferrari, looking through the window from the side given the right angle you can easily make out the yellow rpm (or was it speed, can't remember) dial in the dashboard. All this is even clearer in the car selection screen.
Arwin's right. Further, even in cockpit view you have to render the parts of the car you can see (like the hood, and anything in the mirror) as well as other cars outsides of your car and have to account for the fact at any moment you can switch to an external camera.
At the same level of completexity as seen in cockpit mode?
If so that is super impressive
Whatever complexity the models, you aren't rendered all the polygons of it at the same time. Whether they're occluded by the other side of the same object, or the other geometry getting in the way, makes no difference. There's a fundamental difference between how many polygons a game is rendering and how many polygons are in certain models. This thread is about the latter.

I am quite surprised after seeing that one of the gears of wars characters has the same polycount as Leon on RE4. What a difference normal mapping can make.
Virtua Fighter 5 characters weigh in at around 40K triangles on Lindbergh, actually, revealed in an article with Sega Sammy discussing the game's graphics. The backgrounds range from about 100K to 300K.
It was the NAOMI2 Virtua Fighter 4 which had characters with around 14K polygons as Sega had revealed in a Japanese trade magazine for computer graphics. Backgrounds in the arcade were about 50K.
The PS2 managed to reach half of that with 7K poly characters, after scaling back the lighting, in its versions of Virtua Fighter 4.

But you forget that LOD is like all those other techs (compression etc.). If developer does not issue a press release about it, they are clearly not using any of it.nAo said:
Hence 99.99% of games run with no LOD, store all data on discs uncompressed, and god knows what else...
Speaking of which, when are you gonna reveal character/etc. poly numbers for HS?
Anyway on topic, I recall GT3/4 cars are 2k-4k. I don't have an official quote because it was from someone inside PD rather then press.
