The post is graphically ahead of its time, not what was most technical. You could have a game with a real life rendered object and it would be boring to look at and no one would think twice about it. Graphically, we are talking overall visual pleasing taking into consideration tech and artistic design.  The screenshot of crysis put up was boring, heaving use depth of field , blurred backgrounds and the same greenery. Uncharted will always look better due to the variety of assets and little details used, and the range of colors which made it feel more alive and dynamic. Also what they achieved on the ps3 for that game is more staggering considering the specs they could work with.

You're talking about art direction now which is completely subjective. Like Pemalite says, by that standard I could claim anything looks better than Uncharted. Hell, I grew up with the SNES so I could just say that because I prefer pixel art, A Link to the Past looks better than Uncharted.

Crysis is much more dynamic than Uncharted with much more interactivity and destructibility in the environment, more emergent and open-ended encounters in terms of AI and physics, more effects done in realtime rather than baked.

Uncharted and Crysis released just 6 days apart, and Crysis is much more technologically advanced, therefore it is much more ahead of its time.

Crysis is a boring game to look at for me than 20 mins. Call it art style or whatever, but uncharted looked better to me visually than crysis ever did. It looked more real to me than crysis did. I couldn't get over how good the foilage looked at lighting in some parts, coupled with great artistic design. Even the explosion and smoke effects that turned to a mushroom which may have been hand drawn, looked better than the explosion effects I saw in crysis lol. But since we are comparing pc to a console, pound for pound I have to chose uncharted, considering what it did with the inferior cell and gpu, and what it achieved to do with it and the naughtydog engine.
