| Reasonable said: Ah the fun of reading comments from people who don't understand the first thing about graphics. U3, like U2, contains some interesting innovations (on console) to the engine and continues the excellent work ND have put in (which is why they get praised) to their engine. Games and cut-scenes always change as well vs trailers, particularly for something that's very narrative driven like Uncharted. The original E3 was a trailer that was fully pre-rendered clearly took place (then) at a different time of day entirely hence the huge lighting differences in the bus sequence. For E3 ND would have no space considerations so would simply render it as a "target" for final. In the final game the scene clearly takes place very early morning after sunrise whereas in the E3 trailer lighting levels are much lower allowing (correctly) for more detail and colour to be visible. The lighting and approach is totally different and if you look details are there but now obscured (correctly) by the bright, intense sunlight coming directly into the bus. The overall resolution of the cut-scene have been dropped, and it's pretty obvious to me that they have been dropped to match the actual game (much like U2) to make sure there is no glaring difference. I'd need to check but I'm pretty sure the final U2 cut-scenes were clearly lower resolution than the trailers originally advertising the game as well. I haven't played enough MP yet to comment on that but SP in Uncharted 3 is in line with 2 features of engine plus new features as well further enhancing gameplay options - for example it's doubtful U2 build could have handled the ship sequence nor key aspects of the fight on the plane. Also the fire sequence in the Chateau would have been impossible in U2 build as well. |
So true Reasonable...the crappy thing is many of the posters bashing the game in here will not read or aknowledge the points you've raised. But instead wil just continue with their skewed opinion, this is not even something that is opinion based. I hate how people come into a thread with a an absolute take on a topic and then dont budge from that original take. I guess this is a bit of an off topic response but been seen this a lot lately, just gettin to me i guess.
