So, you are saying you can't take snapshots with "dramatic camera angles"?  If so, Motorstorm 2's camera mode says hi.  Those images are 904x508.  The game is 1280x720.  All you have to do is look at the lines in the background to know ridiculous resolutions weren't used to downsize from.  Anyway, let's just say it's highly unlikely that these are bullshots or they are terrible bullshots.

 

Every screenshot that is not a direct screen cap but went through some special rendering process or manipulation to make the game look better than it really is when you play it is a bullshot. That includes resizing from higher res to simulate better AA, having dramatic camera angles, using different models or higher resolution textures than what you use into the actual game and even using "camera mode" shots instead of actual gameplay shots (yes, I own Motorstorm:PR).

Once again: I am sure it will look great, maybe the best looking game on consoles thus far. I trust Naughty Dog, and everything I've seen in-engine of Uncharted 2 looks wonderful.

I rate Uncharted, even today, only under KZ2 in terms of graphical technical achievement and higher than MGS4 or Gears of War. Plus I like its style.

But you could not have drawn the same conclusion by comparing the bullshots we were given for both Uncharted and -say- Gears: we had to wait for the actual games, see the in-game animations, the in-game textures and their loading, the in-game dynamic lightning.

I'll do the same with this one, and I warned other readers to take all screenshots with a grain of salt, indipendently from what team they cheer for.
