If we compare first gen PS2 games to games released late into it's life, the technical quality is night and day. Why do some peeps (especially PS3 fans) think the 360 has already or nearly peaked? It's barely been three years. Developers always find new tricks up their sleeves to squeeze ever more power out of the consoles.

You seem to forget that about 3 years into PS2 life, it was nearly 100% maxed. The game we saw after 6-7 years wasnt a lot better graphically then the one after 3 years.

 

I was talking more 4-5 years, as the 7th gen started in 06.

 

So what was released in it's forth/fifth year? GOW, MGS3, GT4....sure there are more. Best looking games on PS2.

maybe. i guess i could see how you formed that opinion

PS3 has some fantastic looking games to be sure, just like the Xbox had some great looking games last generation (and the N64 before that).

Still, the other consoles have some great looking games as well, and I'd hope that we all would take the time to look and see that while having great graphics is... great, it's not everything. Each console this generation has fantastic games which are a blast to play. That should be a bragging point in itself.

^ The guy above me how dare you put Forza 3 lower than Uncharted 1 and Gears :O

Forza 3 HAS LOWER GRAPHICS than Uncharted 1 and GoW1,... @ least that's what u can tell so far.

I don't really care, but the best looking games this gen for me have been

1. MGSIV
2. Killzone 2
3. Gears of War 1
4. Uncharted
5. Gears of War 2

Haven't played Uncharted 2 yet.

Dude how is it even possible that you think Gears 1 looks better than Gears 2?

I liked the first one better as a game (both were outstanding), but graphically the second one anhiliates the first.


WOW, wait! "annihilates"? That is such a grave exaggeration.

For me Uncharted 2 was really the proof in the pudding. It is heralded as the best looking PS3 game to date, and it probably is.

But whilst an incremental improvement, it was not in any way drastically better looking than Gears of War 2, or Forza Motorsport 3. It also makes one wonder at the brilliance of Naughty Dog that with half the development time and perhaps a third of the budget they made a better looking game than Killzone 2, but it could just be I like their art style more.

Ultimately, Uncharted 2 is heralded as the best of the best graphics wise on PS3 and it is. Which just goes to show that the best of the best offered by both consoles are much of a muchness.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Too bad that graphics isn't always = good game... Next month I will buy my first PS3 game in over a year.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

I am going to have to disagree. 

I have played through Gears 2 about three times as well as all of horde mode and it was definitely the highlight of my gaming year in 2008.....I will never forget sitting by the Christmas tree last December playing through horde mode and the co op campaign with my buddies.  It was/is an awesome game and deserves all the accolades it got.  I can't wait for Gears 3--it will be a day 1 purchase for me.

HOWEVER--If you don't think that Uncharted 2 is a drastic improvement graphically over Gears 2, you simply haven't spent much time with the game.  The only other game I have played in my life that has better graphics than Uncharted 2 is probably Crysis, which was more of CryEngine 2 showcase than a fully fleshed out game.  (as you may be able to tell, I thought Crysis was about 90% eye candy and about 10% substance.  If you played the demo, you pretty much played the whole game.)

As others have said, you really can't compare it to games like GT5 or Forza 3 because the focus in those games graphics-wise is on the cars themselves.  The surrounding environment is simply not that important.  The first thing you will notice about Uncharted 2 is that the CGI cut scenes look absolutely amazing and then you get control of your character and realize that the in-game graphics are identical.  It's simply a beautiful looking game whether we're talking PC or consoles, and graphically, I think it dwarfs any of the 360 exclusives I have played.  I also think that in general it is one of the best games I have every played.  Possibly number 2 behind Half Life 2.

^^ You know Uncharted 2's cutscenes were all rendered in real time right? There were no CGIs in Uncharted 2, and that makes those scenes even MORE amazing...

Otherwise, great post!

Well, then that makes total sense.  Some of those cut scenes were downright photo realistic.  The only thing that screwed up the illusion a little bit was that Elena looks kind of sub par.  Everyone else looks pretty life like, but she seems to look kind of plastic-y and fake for some reason.  Maybe it's just me.




Ps3 exclusives are almost a generation ahead of anything on the xbox360. Arguing that is just semantics imo. But as always we have the usual smoke and mirrors from the xbox crowd. The evidence is going to keep hitting everyone with Heavy rain, MLB:the show, god of war, gran turismo 5.
