After the release of Uncharted 2, Naughty Dog split into teams – one to work on Uncharted 3, and the other to work on The Last of Us. With Uncharted 3 now out, what is the first Naughty Dog team working on? A new job listing uncovered by PlayStation LifeStyle suggests that the top developer is working on a next gen game that has million polygon characters.

The listing for a Character Artist states (emphasis added):

Prior professional experience with normal map extraction of human models for next-gen games

Additionally, it also says that “this digital sculptor will be responsible for making million poly models game ready, and support highest-res characters for renderings”, and as the job is a character artist, it’s clear the million polygon models being discussed are character models. To put that in perspective, Naughty Dog previously revealed that Uncharted 2 character models were “over 30,000″ polygons, and Kratos in GOW III is made of ‘only’ 20,000 polygons. That means a huge step up over existing PS3 games.

I doubt the Xbox 360 would make such a huge leap in graphics. Looks like Sony is taking the power route again, they might even be overdoing it this time.

Well, the X360 is already old tech, so even if the 720 reaches PS3 levels, that would still be a huge leap.

Yes, I'm trolling.

I read that Dead or Alive on the original xbox had 15,000 per character, while GTA IV's characters weren't over 10,000 - So it can be a very misleading figure on its own.

1 Freaking million.... wow, i remember i was hyped for GOW3 after seeing the reveal trailer. I can't even imagine what that trailer would look like with characters designed with 1 million polygons.
