Uncharted 2 graphics rival real life

If one thing is certain about Uncharted 2, it's that the graphics engine is one of the most magnificent engines crafted to date. Far surpassing the original Uncharted in graphical terms, Naughty Dog is showing what kind of potential there is waiting in the PS3 for developers to tap. Finally, we have a game that we can truly call photo-realistic. Uncharted 2 is setting a new graphical plateau for developers to achieve.

Graphics aside, you can clearly tell Naughty Dog took a lot of time to create such a true to life vision of Kathmandu. With minor details matching so perfectly, you really have to stop and think about the amount of time Naughty Dog took to make sure everything matched up with the real environment. This is dedication on a grand scale.

Looks good. Still... isn't able to produce accurate outdoor lighting.

Most awesome looking ps3 game i have seen but...

yyeeeaaahhh crysis still owns it =P

To be honest, the graphics beats any PS3 games even MGS4, but the gameplay is so LAME. If you played Tomb Raider games you'll know what i'm talking about.

lol yeah thats what i hoped crysis looked like. too bad you cant even get those graphics settings ingame.

The problem with most screenshots shown in this thread is that they were most likely taken at very high resolution, then downsized.

This usually results in screens looking much better than they really do, since everything looks crisper (and you kinda hide any aliasing there may be).

Also, the first two screens of uncharted are pretty misleading. Half of what you see is a 2D background, the rest is the top of buildings + the character. And since those are seen from afar on top of being downsized... Yeah, misleading.

It's still a really good looking game tho, that's for sure, it just feels like the article has too much of a boner for the game.

Thanakil doesn't know about Super Sampling.

Thanakil doesn't know about Super Sampling.

Yes I do. And there's a reason why the aliasing part was in parentheses.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

super sampling prevents aliasing entirely

Renders the image internally at twice the external resolution and then scales back to the external res.

....i hope the G300 is actually powerful enough to do it.

But that's the whole point. if the gameplay sucks, the graphics doesn't really matter xD

It probably won't compare to the overall presentation of MGS4.


Still Its on my want list as long as the gameplay holds out. I might as well buy the first and second one .

IF it did graphic hoes would probably complain about flat lighting. :drool:

Over saturation is also a culprit.
