I've been playing a lot of these games recently so here's some screenshots from the photo mode
They still obvi look like a video game but I think they look rlly rlly good for a ps2 game
The above photos were taken with direct3d hardware rendering and some post processing, but changing to opengl software rendering makes the whole game a bit brighter and fixes a few visual glitches. I've heard vulkan is ever better, but I don't have that as an option yet
All of this is captured in PCSX2 1.6.0 because it's the only version i could get working with a ds3
