From what I've seen and from recently throwing Uncharted 1, I can honestly say that Golden Abyss looks better, because at least the character models don't look like they're made out of clay. As for Golden Abyss versus other games, it does look better than a lot of PS3/360 games, people are taking all the best looking games and putting them into a bubble, while pushing out the hundreds of other games that are shovelware, made on a lower budget or just aren't that good. A good example would be Nier, Darksiders or Red Faction: Armageddon, both games don't look that great and they are also recent games. I'd argue that Golden Abyss is better looking than about 60% of the games released on the PS3 or 360 and that's because I've played a lot of them and I've dealt with most of the bad ones and let me tell you, bad looking games outnumber the good looking games by 3 to 1. As for mentioning that it's a first generation PSV game, that could cause issues later on. Sony have made the PSV extremely easy to develop for, by making it easy to develop for they might have been able to get the best out of the system straight from the get go. This means that games on the PSV aren't going to go through the same graphical evolution that they did on the PS3 or 360, they aren't going to look like Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter one day and then look like Gears of War 4 years later. It's not bad by any means, developers get an easy to develop for machine and they get to re-use assets (like what's being done in Golden Abyss), but it also means that we aren't going to see the same progression we've seen on the HD consoles. This is also speculation, just thought it might be interesting. |
Just because it is easier, doesn't mean that they can max it out on their first try, each iteration of games will look better and better I am sure
Anyway, it does look lovely, but my main concern at the moment is when the PSV is coming out, as once I have that, then I will be ordering this and my PSV for sure, but Drake's Deception is still the thing I am most excited about
