I just played the Uncharted demo on my new ps3...I fail to see why everyone is praising its visuals.

Maybe things get a little better looking later on in the game...but the demo jungle looks way too busy for anything to stand out visually. Also, gunfights don't have any flair(trees and leaves with bulletholes would be nice), granade explosions look flat, character models look simple...I just don't get it. Its got cool water effects and lots of green...and thats it.

I think Resistance looks better and more focused on details. Not to mention destrictable walls and environments which I did not see in uncharted.

PS. I am playing in 1080i on a 58 inch screen...

Hmmm, gosh, maybe thats because its a friggin DEMO!

Unfinished, put out for promotional purposes, a DEMOnstration of the game.

Please dont post if you wont post intelligently


oh bite me...so you're saying the game looks 300% better than the demo. Yeah right... You know what, just so guys like you can't pretend they know something that i don't and then hold it over my head...I will rent it and then rip you appart next time this topic comes up.

If i don't include PC, PS3 or 360.... or PS2 or PSP... super mario galaxy

if i do include all of them, crysis

if no pc, a close game between the art direction of Uncharted vs realism of Gears of War.. i'd give it to uncharted though for having more than 2 colours

That's bull crap, GeOW used 12 colors: white, black, green, orange, brown, red, gray, light gray, dark gray, mid dark gray, light dark gray, and plum gray.

@disolitude: Uncharted is all about the lighting and shadow effects, look at the lighting and how the shadows reflect on Drake then maybe you'll see why alot of people say it looks the best for a console game. Facial animation/detail are top notch also but not as good as Mass Effect and textures are great but not as good as UT3/GeOW.

BTW: There's no game that has better Ocean graphics than Lair.


Yes there is: Crysis. Crysis has easily the most amazing water effects to date, the ocean even works as a full ecology. It is absolutely brilliant how the light is affected inside the water, and the light refraction is out of this world, the water physics, the dynamics, everything is unrivaled in Crysis.

Well, i thought everyone understood that the OP said no PC games, but I still think Lair's ocrean graphics are better than Crysis. Since you can't actually go under the surface, I'm obviously only talking about the surface of the ocean.

 

Not to mention it all looks better in motion since the lighting reflects on how the waves move. If there's one thing Lair did great in, it was it's Ocean graphics. Crysis has better water graphics , but it's not as great as Lair's ocean surface.

You can of course say Game X is technically more advanced than Game Y, or that game Y has an art direction you prefer more, but the best looking games are both technically proficient and have a good art direction.


You just ruled out every Wii game right there. Yes, games like Okami and SMG have great art direction. But if the best looking games need both, the Wii is incapable of competing.


I think you fail to recognize what technically proficient means.

Super Mario Galaxy is technically more proficient than most other games, it runs at 60 fps all the time, it looks super sharp, there are no visual glitches whatsoever, it uses many of the latest visual tricks like bloom lightning and advanced shaders... I could go on, but you get the idea. There is nothing that restricts Super Mario Galaxy in what it tries to achieve. It makes perfect use of the hardware and it doesn't look bad or ugly at a single moment. The game is simply gorgeous.


We are just going to have to disagree on this one. There is no way anyone will ever convince me that SMG looks better then Uncharted, or a dozen other games on the HD consoles for that matter.

If you think it does, they you have a vastly different definition as to what great graphics are.

Considering 95% of the responses to this thread say Uncharted is visually magnificent, i think YOU can bite ME



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Whos hiding?

I was using that to back up my own opinion.

And your comment about Reistance looking better than Uncharted....HILARIOUS

I have an immense love for the game, but come on, its a year old and looks comically outdated these days...it wasnt even a brilliant looking shooter at release!

You are only kidding yourself. Look at Crysis:

What? one of your pictures are underwater and another is of a waterfall.....

While comparing the surfaces of Crysis' shore (which really isn't even an oceans' surface as I suggested) to Lair's oceanic surface, you'll see that the lighting on Lair's oceans/seas are much more dynamic and vibrant than crysis. There are also more waves and water movement not to mention scale is much larger.
