Thank you lol.

Bolded: yes and no. If you account for all factors - including the 3-D support - the game will overall be better looking. I mean 3-D shouls realistically have a significant penalty. But IMO it's a penalty worth it. For usually much much less than half the theoretically needed double rendering power you can get true 3-D. So I am all for ND's (and Sony's) priorities here.

Killzone 3 yes, very impressive graphics everyone say. But maybe Guerilla used a different technique for their 3-D? I don't know the names of them techniques but apparently Crysis 2 uses a very efficient and economical but somewhat ugly 3-D that only gives like a 3% penalty. Maybe Uncharted 3's 3-D gives a much bigger penalty than KZ3?

You don't know if there's a penalty for using 3D, and one screenshot certainly isn't indicative of that. Not only that, but if Guerrilla can pump out a much more technically sound title than Killzone 2 (while including 3D), I have no doubt that Sony's greatest devs will have no trouble.

Something tells me that later on down the road, new UC3 screenshots/footage/gameplay will feed you full of crow. I still remember the early days of Uncharted 2, where people claimed it looked no different to Drake's Fortune. Look how that turned out.

Wait man.

I am not saying that Uncharted 3 will definately look worse than Uncharted 2. I was objecting towards the comparison in the article in the OP, about "the leap forward" that's just not there on these particular screens. And I was arguing that even if it turns out that these screens represent the final game, there's a logic and satisfying reason for it - the 3-D - and it could still be an improvement when looking at the whole picture.

Naughty Dog are the best in the business when it comes to graphics and those guys always surprise me, so I do believe the final outcome can be that we'll all agree that UC3 looks even better than UC2.
