         That's not to say that there isn't plenty of aliasing to be seen   
   in both versions, and the video files do capture this accurately.  The   
   PS2 version in particular, when Claire is in front of the spot light   
   scrambling away from the machine gun fire, her whole body is outlined by   
   jaggies.  Pretty much whenever anything is in front of a light   
   background on a PS2 game the aliasing is exaggerated (just see VF4 vs   
   VF4 evo).  The rest of the time though, things look fairly smooth as is   
   the case with the facial close ups, and diagonal background objects not   
   being significantly aliased.
