Looks like a cool game albeit a bit dark.

One thing looks absolutely certain though, the game does not deserve the graphics hype it gets from certain 360 fans. Neither the cinematics nor ingame graphics come remotely near to Uncharted 2 (it was claimed by some this game would surpass Uncharted 2, actually it does not beat Uncharted 1 by a long shot in this sense).

I find it funny and ironic how all of a sudden you PS3 lovers are talking about how this game's graphics are being hyped. You're complaining about the exact same thing you PS3 owners do everytime an exclusive comes out for the PS3, hype it beyond belief. Once again I don't understand why Uncharted 2 is on such a high pedestal. The game looks good but not as amazing as everyone says.

There's a difference between hyping a game because you're genuinely excited about it and hyping a game simply in the hope that in meets or exceeds the visuals set by another, rival platforms titles. At least that seems to be the motive behind some posters hype, who seem to have a 360 related inferiority complex when it comes to graphics.

No other console game out at the moment can compete with U2 in my opinion, except GOW III. I'm still undecided which looks better. Alan Wake looks great, I actually think some of the better visuals may come later in the game, with daylight scenes and large open areas (I hope).

What games do you consider amazing looking? Without of course defecting to the usual PC suspects.

Edit: I see you've answered that already. I certainly don't envy the fact that you cease to be amazed so quickly.
