God of War III beats Uncharted 2 on a visual level, and quite comfortably.

From a purely technical standpoint, no way. Art side, could be.

No other game will beat Uncharted 2 this gen (i don't think UC3 will come this gen)

So here is the thread.

This thread is purely to see how many reviewers use the words "best console graphics", "best graphics this gen" or anything on those lines.

Guys if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'm a man and I can take it. Currently God Of War 3 holds the crown. So when the embargo lifts, so does the embargo of all my flapping for the graphics of Alan Wake. ( What you dont think I can take a joke on myself? ).

Anyways, as I mentioned, this is not a review score thread, but a thread hunting for reviewers opinions. I think it will be pretty resounding that Alan Wake will have alot of graphical praise. Those that disagree, I guess we will find out in a week or so.

 

Currebt Number of reviews claiming Alan Wake Best graphics =

0

so why create your useless thread with poor claim everyday ?

"Currently God Of War 3 holds the crown"

OMG, cant believe it ! you finally admit it ?

I have said it during months but I dont have created thousands thread about it !

that is the problem I (we ?) have with you ...



Time to Work !

Actually, I believe the problem exists that we are not the same type of fanboy. End discussion.

1/ I realize I was underlying a particular sentence in your first post but it was not clear enought in my post. I put it in red to make it clear.

2/ You may be right. I would have said "fans" over "fanboys" but whatever ...



Time to Work !

/facepalm



GOW3 and U2 on graphical level is rather competitive, theres both Con's and Pro's in both game
But playing both games i gotta give it to GOW3

Its good to see Selnor admit GOW3 holds the graphics crown atm lol
BTW lensoftruth stated GOW3 is the newly crowned king of graphics lol

What i see from Alan wake is that it either comes extremely close or Beats it

Nope. What's superior technically in Uncharted 2 compare to Gow3 ?

(Short answer : almost everything)

- Modeling (Nathan is about 30k poly)

- Shaders, textures and normal map complexity

- Lightning, shadow maps (might be the best sm i ve seen this gen), SSAO implementation,..

- IA (!), collision, particules, animation (crazy blending animation tech), inverse kinetic and so on..

- even scale (GOW3 has a relative great scale but not in the level itself), Uncharted renders a whole city in some levels with extensive use of streaming, and GOW3 is a fixed camera. 

 

Pros for GOW3

- Art direction, or i would say type of design (more "sexy", cause it's "out of this world")

- AA rendering (MSAA, wich is a ND base code they used)

 

Santa Monica is a very good studio, very talented artist, strong gameplay fondation, great art realisation, etc..but technically they are not in the same league than ND (not much are close in fact..) They indeed rely on ND and in some way to Insomniac for their tech stuff.

While I disagree, that wasn't what I was referring to.

 

"No other game will beat Uncharted 2 this gen (i don't think UC3 will come this gen)"


THAT was what I was referring to.
