This. Also Uncharted 3 releases 2 months AFTER Gears 3.
Im honestly just waiting for them both to release so I can do my evil smile :}. I KNOW WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN >:D

After playing the Chateau map, there are weak spots in the graphics, but certain textures and models, combined with the lighting really make the graphics pop. Judging by the screenshots, Gears of War 3 has more consistent graphics, but Uncharted 2 looks superior under certain circumstances.

This screenshot being one of them.

I am still expecting quite a few graphical improvments in the single player game, but if the multiplayer looked like this, I wouldn't be dissapointed.

I think I've seen it all now. We are now comparing betas in this crappy ass consol war ROFLMAO. Seriously we are comparing something thats soul purposes is to test issues like bugs, lag, connectivity, freezing issues and other various problems a games code and network could have on release to iron out these issues and now we are playing the my beta has less lag than yours game LMAO. Come on give the games a chance to finish and release before comparing.

Its almost as if they purposly left out the best looking maps in Gears of War beta.

Guys I urge you all to go back and play Un2's FINISHED MP right now after the Un3 beta. Jesus christ, you will appreciate Uncharted 3 beta FAR more.

Compare that^ to ANY 720p MP in Uncharted 2. It's fucking amazing.

you think the performance would be any better on those maps. i would think the performance would be the same on all maps

Compared to Checkout and Trashball performance would be little lower in Trenches since there is far more going on.

DF: It's particularly impressive in the Trenches level, where a sandstorm kicks in, use of alpha reaches insane levels as the effect kicks in and the sun-shafts are showcased in a very pleasing manner.

i think the shots the lens guys chose average gameplay shots rather then them selecting the best shots the beta had. also keep in mind that the beta has just started and the frame rate for uncharted will no doubt improve as ND sort thru all the problems which to be honest they are doing very rapidly.

Not to mention there is only 2 maps at the moment in the beta. Gears 3 beta has been around for quite some time already, no?

Besides, all the climbing and stuff in Uncharted 3; there's none in Gears :L. Just had to point that it must be somewhat harder to create levels where you climb up etc. Not to mention the first entire part of the Airstrip and Chateu have like dynamicly changing stuff that's quite AMAZING. Try sitting in the Chateu while its burning, if you don't jizz, i'll give you my right testicle XD. Airstrip, no bloody comment :P

The second screenshot looks awful, but the first and third ones look great.

It's exactly what I was describing in the Uncharted 3 screenshot I posted. The lighting and textures really make the graphics pop out, it does make everything look like clay, but it looks great nonetheless.
