Thats the funny thing, I had to stop the game because the gameplay was so good looking. The picture I posted doesnt even do it justice. Not just once either, but but many times. The verticality in this game while climbing is probably second only to Shadow of the Colossus and the amount of shots I had to stop and take were ridiculous. I took quite a few shots of Tomb Raider, but mainly at the cave area. Quantum Break was very grainy and because of the effects constantly affected the graphics of the game. It was like it was trying to shift between 720 and 900p. Very rarely in uncharted did I realize any dips.

Hes climbing in the middle of a thunder storm. He cant do his usual jumps because he cant get his bearings like normally would when its try. You kind of just have to move around cautiously. Just wow...utterly amazing. I've never seen effects like that while climbing before.

You're not kidding. the physics in this game with hill slides are great. You truly feel like Nathan is taking a level of abuse from falling down on it as well. They did a great job of keeping the effects cohesive with the voice acting because he complains about it in the game.

Interesting. Can you show me a picture of an action game thats graphics were as good as the photo I showed? I understand that the moment might not be that great to you but I personally have never seen a game look that pretty during a storm in action. I do agree that there were greater momenets, but this is just one moment of many other moments ive already shown of this game on VGChartz.

PC games have the platform to be very pretty but not always the development costs. Since 2005 the financial shift has been in the court of consoles. ID even spoke about the prospect of consoles value and profitabiolity way back when, but now it seems that PC is having a resurgence which has come with a lot of indy games. Last gen we saw the fallout of what AAA games can do to an industry. This is why fewer risks are being taken unless the companys pedigree is really high. 

Agreed. Im on chapter 15 so we will see if theres anymore greatness to be found. :)

I played the game and experienced numerous issues including tearing and graphics dips. It killed the immersion in a major way. Its like they were liberally forced by microsoft to try to get this game to shift between 720 and 900p so that Microsoft could make it seem like the console could handle the game. I suggest they build of of this great foundation though. I have a feeling that the second Quantum Break might be the quite the charmer. If the game is going to be more technically demanding than the first I suggest Remedy gets to know the Xbox One architecture a little more like Naughty Dog did with the PS3. At the end of the generation ND admitted to being held back by the PS3 hardware and this new Uncharted speaks volumes about that truth. Glad you liked Quantum Break. I need to do a second playthrough.

Its not just that. There is a reason why they are setting themselves apart from even other AAA developers. What they did with the limited hardware of the PS3 was insane. Those were masterworks for such limited hardware.

They only work on that hardware though. Just like Nintendo usually makes the best looking games for their own console.

Not taking anything away from ND, their games are gorgeous.

Uncharted 1-3 cost less to develop than the Tomb raider reboot by quite a margin.
