The problem with PS3 fans in this thread is that you can't post some screenshots/videos to prove your points.

I have acknowledged that Uncharted is more detailed than Ninja Gaiden 2 (which isn't surprising considering NG2 has to calculate many more pixels per second). I even put a NG2 screenshot here.

Why can't PS3 fans do the same with MGS4 for example? leo-j even went as far as claiming that there isn't a single screenshot which does justice to it.

All I'm asking is for something solid (pun not intended). Who knows, you might even convince me if your proof is good enough.

 

NG2 may calculate up to twice as many pixels per second as Uncharted, but what does that matter if the game doesn't look or run as well?

I would rather have the game run at 30 fps with a solid framerate and more detail.

Ninja Gaiden II is by no means a good source for citing technical or graphical capabilites of the 360.

Framerate issues:

It also has hefty loading times at the start of each chapter and there as also mid-level loading sequences. (In comparison to Uncharted which has virtually none at all).

Enemies also seem to have terrible AI in some sections with GT reporting them as "falling into animation loops, making them easy to kill".

Shadows are pixelated, and common effects like reflections in water are completely missing. (Again unlike Uncharted which has reflections).

Furthermore, the character models in NG2 have a very "plastic" look to them and the backround (Again according to reviewers) suffers from low level of detail in a lot of areas.

You've been bringing NG2 up a lot recently NJ5, in my opinion you would do well to choose a different game to better display the technical prowess of the 360. (Although I'm not sure what game...)

In my opinion Uncharted not only visually looks better then NG2, but overall it's a better developed game. I think the fact that Uncharted got better review scores reflects this.
