LOL@ so many saying "X game looks better than Uncharted 2" yet those same titles were playable at E3 and lost out to Uncharted 2.

Hurray for the ones who think they know everything yet never touched any of these titles themselves.

The people on this site crack me up. Keep up the humor fellas, I am having a blast!!

I lol'ed

You only need 88OOGT level performance or there abouts to add that kind of look @ 72OP on your TV, apples to apples eh? IIRC the HD 467O can do that pretty well too, which can be added to pretty much any store bought solid computer system for roughly the same price as the PS3. You can add an HD 467O for the same effort as switching HDD on the PS3. The HD 567O on the other hand will be a beast which will have the memory bandwidth and shader power to outshine a G92 based card and that will be available about the same time Uncharted 2 releases, so apples -> apples during the same time frame is perfection!

Btw I fixed your post, in red.

great crysis pic.

Again, it just goes to show the fidelity of Uncharted when Crysis pics start to crop up.

Actually it shows the huge gap between a high end console game and a high end PC game.

There is no doubt UC2 is on the high end of console games, but there are many computer games that look better than any game on a console, including, but not limited to, GRID, Resident Evil 5, Crysis and Crysis Warhead, Farcry 2, and pretty much any old thing.

UC2 is on the high end, but it doesn't look much better than other high end games, like RE5, or Gears 2. Post some screens, take off the glasses, and compare some screens from those games and UC2, and try to tell me there is a huge difference.

In fact, the other day, you claimed you couldn't even tell the difference between the terrible screenshot of prologue, and the excellent, handpicked bullshot of Forza 3, yet you say that Uncharted 2 is vastly superior to RE5, or Gears 2, or even Forza 3?

Honestly, the reason this game is getting hyped is because it's Sony exclusive, and it's a graphical showcase. It's basically one of the few good games hitting the PS3 this Xmas, and the only big one that isn't fully multiplat, so of course it's getting these types of threads.

It looks way shittier than Crysis which came out 2 years ago, so no, it's not the king of anything, and saying it is, is lowering the goalposts and marginalizing the competition.

Hype your PS3 exclusive all you want, but for christs sakes, stop trying to use it to make other games look bad. Especially when the graphics aren't even arguably significantly better than the best we've seen ON OTHER CONSOLES.

 

...and yes, I beat this thread and your game with my screenshot. I apologize. I didn't know it was going to be quoted to hell and back. I figured people already knew such a disparity existed. I guess many didn't.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

no thanks :).

I run crysis on Very High with a 200 dollar graphics card, in a 500 dollar prebuilt acer, with Vista, at a higher frame-rate than Uncharted 2 will run, final build, on the PS3.

Do you think I'm lying?

Uncharted runs 1280 by 720 with 2xMSAA, an HD 4890 achieves as good if not better frame rate on Crysis Warhead Very High with 4xAA and 25% extra resolution.

$200 Video card.

Apples to apples and all that, it wouldn't be fair to ask a computer to do what a console cannot.



Tease.

GPU alone can't run a game.

you need powersource, motherboard, ram, CPU (which similar to the cell can go over 500$-1000$), windows license (200$ for home premium).

etc etc. ;).

I put my chumping to the test, and I came up with this!

  • Athlon II X2 2.9GHZ
  • 4GB Corsair Ram
  • 500GB HDD
  • ECS Microatx Mobo (Pretty good reviews)
  • XFX 4850 1GB (Dual slot cooler +++)
  • Rosewill case/500W PSU (good reviews)
  • Windows Vista 64 (Apparantly it can be upgraded to 7 when that comes out for free?)

$493 + shipping/taxes with $35 Mail in rebate should you so desire.

Im lazy so links are below:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150351

Video card $117

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116488

OS $99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.215959

PSU + Case combo $53 with $9.90 shipping

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.235851

Mobo + CPU + Ram + HDD combo

Now, it would be difficult to out chump the chump master, yes?

Funny you should mention that, considering I just specced that up for someone.

It could definately do very high at 1280/1024 resolution with a 30 FPS average.

 

 



Tease.

Sorry to be late to the party (just felt like giving my two cents) but I don't see it showing any fidelity for Uncharted.  If anything, it just shows how jaw-dropping the graphics are for a 2-year old game and Uncharted 2 (or probably any console game for that matter) still can't out-do it.

Yup! I wouldn't have even posted in this thread if it didn't insult other games by the proclaimation that Uncharted 2 is a graphics king. The fact that CGI_Quality, whom proclaims himself to be unbiased condones the thread title is pretty... disapointing.



Tease.
