Is there a better looking game than Uncharted 2

Seriously.

I have played my fair share on games both console and PC, I am a very experienced gamer playing all sets of current PC and console (Xbox and PS3) games. To my mind I cannot think of a single game that looks as good as Uncharted 2. Yes it can be slightly aliased at times and yes it doesnt play in 1080P but what they have achieved within the limits of the hardware is absolutely staggering. I know most dedicated PC gamers will point out the limits of resolution within the console world but that is kinda of a moot point when you consider all the crap they have crammed onto the screen with such shine.

But in all seriousness can anyone think of a game that looks as good or better than Uncharted 2? And if you say Crysis I will slap you, because I'm not even sure if that beats it, from an artistic point of view. Would have to crunch numbers to compare from a technical though and can you really measure visuals with numbers?

Slap away...Crysis on max settings is something still not topped...Uncharted 2 looks good but Crysis is still the bar...Id def say Uncharted 2 is a better game though

I think Killzone 2's graphics are better but Uncharted 2's may seem like a step up from it because it uses a **** load more colour, kinda hard to compare graphic quality when it's from differant shades of dark and brown compared to every possible colour. If both games had the same colour palettes though I think Killzone 2 would be the victor. This is also an unbiased opinion as I don't really like either of the games ha ha.

MGS4 of course!!

but when it comes to graphics i think CRYSIS

Let's not even get Crysis involved.

1. It's not a console game.

2. Crysis is the one PC game all console games get compared to, graphically. If you look at what a $300 dollar home console does without a single hitch/flaw and compare it to a $800+ dollar computer that just about/barely runs this one game everyone's drooling over (unless $1200+ is ok with you), don't you kinda think that's... well, freakin' amazing for a console?

Read the thread, TC actually says he haven't seen better graphics on his PC as well. Crysis is not yet topped in graphics even tough it isn't a good game for me personaly (friend has it on a pretty strong computer, but besides graphics, the game has almost nothing to offer). I agree with the ppl saying it belongs to system war as TC was talking about grahics over several systems.

Artistic point of view? When you say that, you`re inviting a lot of room for debate and opinion. Personally, no game looks better than BlazBlue for me, and while many will tell me I'm cheating (2D hand-drawn fighting game), I've essentially met your criteria of judging visuals; it's a game that looks great to me, and "I'm not even sure if Uncharted 2 beats it from an artistic point of view." There's no definitive answer for which games looks the best when you talk about artistic value. As soon as you say those words, everything automatically becomes opinion.hazelnutman

The PC argument need to stop, is ridiculous.

We measuring technical achivements on graphics, as within the limits of hardware to achieve the best graphics experience and performace.

The PC has almost ilimited power as its potential for improvement is continuous.

The Ps3 can't dream on having Damnation on 2560x1600, 60fps, unlimited distance view, 16 QXAA, while a PC could do it, but that doesn't make Damnation a pretty game.

That is why MGS4 got best technicall achivement and graphics of 2008, and unchated 2 will likely get for 2009.

While Crysis warhead is indeed a great technicall achivement, and peharps even more than uncharted2, comparing is impossible until crysis 2 gets on ps3 when we can see wich developers could push the hardware the furthest.

In fact, in terms of Hardware performace Half Life2 episode 2 for PC and the more updated source engine are technically one of the most impressive feats. As is the MW2 engine for PC.

I dont think there is a better looking game then Uncharted 2 atm including any game on the planet.

i think i have answered your question pure and simple without any ado.

Uncharted looks amazing given the hardware the developer had to work with, looks better then most PC games.

Oh ya the voice acting some of the best i think i ever seen in a game, realy makes all the characters seem real and believable.

Gran turismo 5 prologue is the best looking ps3 game... until gran turismo 5 comes in march.

I dunno, but the colors on the Resistance 1 box art were the exact same colors used in the game.

Killzone 2. Crysis. Uncharted 2s graphics are overrated (but don't get me wrong they're still amazing)

no, uncharted 2 has pop texture issues sometimes if you are speed running a level.Javieralijandro

Crysis is the only better looking game so far. Since its on unlimited hardware.

Well, yes, it looks amazing, but I think Bioshock's artistic style looks awesome too

From a technical stand point I do not think any game can beat Crysis graphically. Uncharted it's like an ant compared to the elephant that is Crysis.

from an artistic point of view. Would have to crunch numbers to compare from a technical though and can you really measure visuals with numbers?

From an artistic point of view Mario Galaxy kills Uncharted. Uncharted art style sucks because it is way too generic.

Generic places, generic cloth, generic characters(not talking about personalities), generic atmosphere... In fact, everything on Uncharted it's as generic as it gets, even the gameplay. And that's not a flaw, that's how ND wanted to do the game and there's where the beauty of it it's found. An action story like those old action flicks like Indiana Jones that doesn't take itself too seriously... But when talking from an artistic point of view Uncharted shouldn't be mentioned.

Crysis is the only better looking game so far. Since its on unlimited hardware.

RadecSupreme

both games will look like 4 bit forgottentitles of yeteryear when Kratos hits the ps3. but as far as graphics on the ps3... i dunno i still think heavenly sword and mgs4 shine. same with killzone 2. well look at that, those are all ps3 exclusives too. what are the odds on that? ;)

I also think uncharted 2 looks better than crysis...the overall dynamic aspects of uc2 outweigh the beast that is crysis...but i would love to see a 3rd person crysis 2...it would be best shooter of all time..me personally am tired of the fps genre...

No thats called upscaling

Uncharted 2 is natively 720p

Plus I tried 1080p and it looks blurry compared to 720p because of the upscaling

UC2 may beat KZ2 in the color department, but when it comes to realistic graphics and lighting, KZ2 is miles ahead.

I hope somebody does a comparison vid on these games, the real differences will be seen then.
