Naughty Dog : Uncharted would have been a different game without the PS3.

Graphics do not make a game, gameplay/plot/controls/everything that's actually important does

Uncharted would have been the same game on the 360, Wii, xbox, GC, PS2, DC, 64, PS1. It could even have been done on the SNES actually, it was certainly capable.

Not really. There would be issues over getting all that content in and using the HDD to help eliminate in game loading times. The game would suffer without good graphics. The characters are made that much more real, and that really does help the plot, and your enjoyment of the game

 

Also, the graphics are really stunning, so much so that your mouth will be hanging open for most of the game, it really does make the game more exciting. Also, the heavy snow with effects your vision would not work properly

This game would not work as well last gen

 

Reducing the graphics also helps to reduce load times and helps get all the content in. Using cartridges pretty much eliminates the loading times completely. Uncharted 2 could have been made on the Snes if the graphics were toned down (a lot) 

 

And no, the stunning graphics would not have that effect on me. I almost fell asleep during Crysis (man that game is boring). I'm sure U2 would be better, due to a combination of better gameplay and a more interesting art style. But that doesn't mean that you cannot love the graphics, it's just that they don't change how much I enjoy a game

 

I can't believe you ignorant you are. Graphics don't do a game alone.... Physics, gameplay, plot, controls and everything does indeed contribute to how amazing a game is. But say, the SNES, do you think the SNES allows the physics properties that developing a game with ps3 dev kit does? Moreover, you do not realise that the cartriges have size limitations. The N64 could only read cartridges of 64MB max, what makes you think that a game that could not run on the N64 could run on an SNES? Do you realise how many lines of codes are needed for a game like Uncharted 2? Not everyone has a software engineering degree but it doesn't take much intelligence to discover the point that games are getting bigger and more complex year after year. Do you realise that a single bullet being shot in Uncharted 2 would be too much for the SNES processor to handle?

Another thing that makes games like Uncharted 2 better than others are the acting in the game. Do you realise that You could barely fit a fraction of the effects in the game on cartridge let alone all the voices from the interaction. The high criteria for a good game doesn't involve flashing sentences saying "Pow Pow... you're dead" instead of hearing actual gunfire and hearing your character die in agony as he falls.

Do you believe you are smarter than Nintendo themselves, that they would choose to move to CD/DVD rather than stay with cartridges? To prove your point, you are spurring out pointless arguments that you do not believe in yourself. Stating that you slept while playing Crysis? I have friends who didn't like the game and that is understandable but no true gamer would not appreciate the graphics in Crysis. 

Modern era gaming has a much higher place than before in graphics and sound. Games either rise or fall based on the graphical prowess of their engines. I for one prefer the modern Zelda's and Mario galaxy rather than the Old ones I had on previous nintendo platforms.
