Skip to 2:30 for the trailer in 720p.

It looks great for PS3 standards, but certainly not the best looking game ever. Much of what was in the trailer is from cut-scenes, which we all know by now look markedly better than actual gameplay. On par with the best stuff I've seen on the current gen hardware, though the new God of War should look equally as good.

Your polls really annoy me, Turkish. Just put 'Yes' or 'No'. We don't need an essay in the no answer to try and justify something else.

Also, you could have saved so much hassle just by putting one word in the title of this thread ("console").

That said, I was impressed by the VGA footage, but for different reasons. I really liked the colour palette they are using. Like that third gif, lovely autumnal orangey-purple sky, really pretty. The whole game seems to be using colour well, a nice change from the drab grey-brown games we had a while back.

Anyways, I was impressed with the footage as well and this might become my...first or second Naughty Dog series whichever comes first ;o.


I think you made a typo.  You must have played Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter because they're both super awesome.  If you haven't, you're dead to me.  DEAD.

So this would be at least your third.  Fourth if you played Uncharted (idk if you have).



Gonna be a tough battle next year I think between this and GOW:A. Both will aim for the best console graphics award I think.

I skipped the video but I did see few gifs..just amazing. I'm glad I'm on a media block out for this. Imagine experiencing most of this on the first go...it's gonna blow my mind :D

What was shown at the VGAs was a mixture of both gameplay and pre-rendered, just thought i throw that out there.

And what evidence do you have for that? It isn't something that Naughty Dog have done in the past and we have seen how good actual gameplay looks!

I can't remember what ND do precisely with their cut scenes, but it is not pre-rendered, I think they just have better character models



no, but I want it baaaaaad

Most of Naughty Dog's cut scenes are pre-rendered using the game's engine. This allows them to push more effects, more polygons, better anti-aliasing, etc... while keeping a consistent look througout the entire game (unlike games like Final Fantasy). It also allows the console to load the next level while the pre-rendered cut-scene is playing. Making it seem like there's barely any loading at all.

Many developers do that.



It does looks very nice, but I think Beyond looks better - truth be told, I think both games are held back quite a bit by current console limitations, so 2013/2014 can't come soon enough.
