God of War III is easily the best looking PS3 game. Only Uncharted 2 comes close (at times it looks better, I'll admit).

But whats really impressive is that SCE Santa Monica managed to maintain a much larger sense of scale that Uncharted 2 throughout the game and still looked as good...if not better.

I've never seen anything as mindblowingly HUGE as those titans.

Its even more impressive considering its Santa Monica Studio's first PS3 game while UC2 is ND's 2nd. 

So yeah...it looks better, and the scale is fucking amazing. Better lighting, character models, animations, scale, and art style (though that depends on preference) than UC2. Motion blur is a huge plus too...However, the textures in KZ2 are still better than UC2 and GoW III imo.


they also only used 50% of the engine 



Uncharted 2 easily. Killzone 2 may even have better graphics then GoW 3

Whats even more impressive is that it is Santa Monica Studio's 2nd game (Warhawk buddy) so ND has been at it for a year less then SMS. Nice try

In places, probably.  Best lighting for sure.  As with all GoW games though, although the scale is impressive often the setting seems empty.  Fairly barren rooms with simply a puzzle or enemies.  I never quite feel the setting is 'alive'.  In 1080p in its most impressive areas it is amazing though.

Like many I felt Uncharted 2 overall maintained a better balance of detail and it just felt a tad more 'inhabited' which I prefer in SP orientated games.  The plot of GoW3 (well, almost every GoW titles) does put you in more of a position where there won't be anyone else around really.

I still feel for overall balance of lighting, detail and 'being there' nothing has topped the zero combat, take your time and look around village sequence in Uncharted 2.  The character models are much better in Uncharted 2, right across the board.  Kratos is very detailed, but his animation still lag behind the stuff in Uncharted 2.  Some of the monsters in GoW3 where brilliant though, amazing animations and detail.  But the human based characters (i.e. most of the gods) looked very weak.  I was quite shocked at times how bland they looked.

Both are pretty damn amazing, though, and - together with GT5:P and Killzone 2 - represent the peak of PS3 graphically speaking.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Uncharted 2

God of war III

Killzone 2

 

the big 3 , all are the best looking games, and I agree that U2 is the best, GOW III isn't far though in fact I think its almost better than U2

But what you don't know dude, is that they've only helped with the tech stuff, like they did with Flower and Flow (I suppose its Santa Monica's 4th game then ). Warhawk was made by Ignition Entertainment IIRC.

They started on GoW 3 immediately after finishing GoW 2 in 2007. I doubt they had the ENTIRE team working on Warhawk. Maybe 5-10 guys...not much more.

They probably checked out the PS3 before they started on GoW3, but they were working on GoW 2 until February 2007. And ND started on PS3 since 2005.

Flower and Flow was made by thatgamecompany.  Warhawk was made by Incognito.  This is Santa Monica's fist PS3 game.

Yep...Incognito...not Ignition...

Apparently, the guy I quoted believes Santa Monica's 1st PS3 game is Warhawk, not God of War III.
