Why dont multi look as good as the single player graphics in Uncharted 2?

I'm assuming it would take a lot of bandwidth to process so much detail online so they may have to tone it down? I don't know... I'm just sayin

They need to tone down the graphics so that it can run, if they don't then it would be a lag fest. =/

Look how amazing these pictures look it is breathtaking. And here is a video to show people naughty dog didnt touch up any of those pictures it looks just as good in motion and make sure to click HD once you get to that video. You Tube Vid thehulk1

Sorry 56kers =(

It still looks pretty good for an online game. Characters even have snow on their clothes.

The game's video is generated for each player by their console, using textures and models found on the game disc or hard drive. No video needs to be sent through the internet connection. The internet connection is used to send player locations and actions, and voice communication.

So then why do MP games with SP components typically not look as good?

The multiplayer is a "Beta" after all.

My guess is that in multi-player mode the game has to keep track of many different players actions and also communicate with the game server, so the graphic quality may have to be downsized from the single-player mode so that the console can do all of that work and still maintain high frame rates.
