People gonna say I'm a fanboy but... meh..

I just want to say I got both Gears of War 3 and Uncharted 3...
Both games has equal graphics to me...
Some moments when blood spills and some toxics are on floor or some smoke floats in the air... its just so good I think they look better than on ps3 any game.
But Uncharted 3 is a really nice game and good looking..

Both has pros and cons...
So It's a DRAW for me :)
They both are greatest.

To me it is. At least to me, there are times where the game looks like the CGI in past gens.

I don't know about ever, Crysis on the PC is amazing. And there's a ridiculously good mod for GTA IV on the PC that makes the game look photorealistic. But as far as consoles go, yes, I think Uncharted 3 is the best looking game.

I meant on video game system console. I have no idea about pc games because I don't play them.

In terms of in-game visuals, yes. The graphics engine in UC3 is top notch and the art and textures, modelling, lighting, effects and anti-aliasing creates an amazing level of detail in both the overall environment and characters (particularly the close-ups), bordering on realistic in a few scenes but for the most part still shows its animated core. Single player is also one of the best, if not the best, stereoscopic 3D games on consoles.

A close second technically is Gran Turismo 5 for its near photo realism with some tracks & cars (and like UC3 one of the best in 3D).Gears of War 3 on Xbox 360 is also excellent but lacks slightly in overall polish and looks more animated. Honorable mentions: Alan Wake, GOW2, Forza 4, God of War 3, Uncharted 2, Mass Effect 2, Battlefield 3. There are many others behind these that are alsovery good.

In my opinion, YES, it is the best looking console game. Uncharted 2 is an amazing looking game. But I believe Uncharted 3 looks even better. The environments are so beautiful. Really enjoying it :)

It always depends on how you want to measure it. What differentiates UC3 and makes it so good visually is the amount of detail, not so much its polygon count or AA and so forth. I know ND touted how difficult it was to make sand look like sand and it looks unbelievable, but chapter 12 (Abducted) of the campaign is what made my jaw hit the floor as the water altered the environment and battlefield and allowed you to swim in it and fire from it. The fact that ND could render that blew my mind.

If you ask on consoles, it's better suited for System Wars, but I would say it's def. amongst the best ^^

It certainly looks better than the console version of Battlefield 3, that's for sure.

Hands down the best looking (and playing) console game, in my opinion.

I honestly do not have a single thing to say against this game. I have hyped this game so much before it came out and it delivered on all of my expectations.

My previous favourite game was MGS4 (with UC2 being a very very close second) but UC3 has definitely become the victor in my most favourite game of all time.

I must be blind..I really don't see that much of a difference between U2 and U3. Well except for the character faces are better, and now they have some seriously weird looking eye balls. Over all, except for better lighting effects, the rest of the game looks like U2 to me.

So basically...it's still a very good looking game, but not the best. Gears 3 looks better, Batman AC looks better, and many parts of Rage look better. Of course just my opinion.

So you guys mean to tell me it's better looking than Killzone 3?

And whoever said Gears of War 3 is up to par with UC3, needs to look at KZ3.

Gears of War 3 looks dated. I am not impressed visually by it at all. Uncharted 3 is the best looking video game on a console right now and I highly doubt that xbox360 is powerful enough to handle Uncharted 3 type of game. Uncharted 2 used 25 GB on disc and Uncharted 3 is using 50 GB. There is a lot more detail and work put in Uncharted 3 than Gears of War 3 that uses like 7 GB..... 50 GB > 7 GB

There are many improvements visually in UC3. Textures are better, lighting is better (particularly in dim light, dynamic shadows, night scenes), anti-aliasing is better, use of motion blur, big improvements to character detail up close, improved character eyes and teeth (eyeballs are much more believable now than in UC2), and for the environment there is more detail, lots of other improvements such as the much talked about water and sand effects, more dynamic movement of objects, re-creation of village streets with people, improved water in things like streams and waterfalls (but UC2 looked pretty good), and more. The thing that lets UC3 down visually are the shadows. Very good for the most part but blocky at times and the characters (even Drake and Sully for the most part) are not correctly shadowed and look a little out of place in dim scenes. Lip sync could be better too, a problem that most games have. I've been wondering for years why they don't implement a simple phoneme based animation system (translate dialog to phonemes, phonemes to animation, such as 'w' would be pursed lips and extended throat). Still, minor compared to the game overall. There are a couple of glitches (some objects appearing/disappearing, feet sink below floor level) but these are rare. There are many places in UC3 in 3D where I'm just sitting there shaking my head it's so good. I'm going pretty steady to take it all in, look around a lot.

There's a lot of detail and analysis on the new visuals and effects with discussion with Naughty Dog here:

Go back to uncharted 2 then play 3 look at the difference, textures, lighting, water and sand and fire effects, character models, everything is alot better just check Digital Foundry.

I don't think so. It's certainly one of the best-looking games of all time though, especially with the amazing lighting effects that make the outside environments look even better!

Personally, I think Killzone 2 has the best graphics I've ever seen.

I am 99% sure it is. I love how they can manipulate it so it looks like you are really in a desert or jungle or castle. Naughty Dog makes it look so good, you can almost feel the surroundings. At least, to me, it is.

I'm not sure about Uncharted 3, but God of War 3 looks quite a lot better than Uncharted 2... The visuals in GOW3 are just impossible.

Gran Turismo 5. But for some reason the GT series never gets picked for graphics king when it's really no competition.

I personally wasn't impressed with the art direction. Uncharted 2 looks superior to me.

Tough call. But, I think UC3 has the edge over UC2. I'd like to post some of my KZ3 screencaps. But, they're in SD format unlike my UC screenies.

Nope.

I guess someone never played Crysis or Killzone 3. I personally think Killzone 3 has the edge as console graphics king.

I experienced Uncharted 3 and Killzone 3 in 3D. It was a really amazing thing to see and try, all games next gen should come with 3D standard :p

Between UC3 and KZ3? Tough call. But, I still like UC3 better. The vividness and crispness of UC3 gives it the edge for me.

It's certainly one of the best, but in my opinion Rage has the best-looking visuals so far this gen.
