| MikeB said: @ WilliamWatts The HDR on Uncharted 2 is a good fake. The closest thing to a full HDR pipeline is Halo 3. It's true HDR in Uncharted 2, unlike for most 360 exclusives (FP16 vs FP10). Actually Halo 3 is an exception using an unorthodox method which sacrfices resolution and "free" anti-aliasing on the 360. Actually the general lighting in Halo 3 isn't really that impressive as for example light sources don't cast realtime shadows. I am not saying the game per se needs this, as the game is very cartoony. Also I didn't notice realtime weather changes like you mentioned above in Halo 3. |
Real HDR is FP32. besides if their lighting engine was all dynamic they wouldn't have had static TOD for every scene. Just because you consider Halo 3 'less impressive' its still closer to optimal than Uncharted 2 its just used badly.
