Being a Rank 41 takes days and is proof that I know what the map looks like. Find me a screen of you controlling your character with that lighting that's so obviously a tweak it's not even funny. And I play on a 1080p monitor as well.

It is the village map, correct? I recently played that map so it should still be in the cinema. I think you can take screenshots in the cinema, but I haven't done it before. I'll look into it.

Yes, that's the map and you can take screens and alter them, I've seen people do it.

It looks better than UC2.

But why bluff 'bout it? 41 days lefted until Uncharted 3.

Victory...very short lived. :P

Epic did a good job but ultimately the graphics of Gears 3 can't compete because it all has to be shoehorned into a 1997 era DVD.

Yep, Uncharted 2 is the best looking console game ever made. And it will stay that way until Uncharted 3. Gears 3 looks good, but not anywhere near as good as Uncharted 2 IMO.

Uncharted 2 wasn't the best looking game pre-launch either, it's been surpassed a long time a go.

Killzone 3 > God of War 3 > Gears of War 3 > Uncharted 2 > Killzone 2 > Crysis 2 > Uncharted 3 IMO.

I hope the footage we've seen (screenshots, gameplay vids etc) are jokes.

Gears looks and plays amazingly, if Uncharted 3 plays just as good and looks just as good then i'm more than happy, oh and who in the world actually believes Uncharted 2 looks better than Gears 3? I mean sure Uncharted 2 is just my ideal style graphically but it's not quite as polished looking as gears, still polish doesn't cover up the flat textures in a lot of areas.

MGS4 really underwhelmed me graphically...I know standards evolve but overall I thought it looked pretty average.

In 2008 it was an amazing looking game but now it just looks average, i still think the character models look great with great animations but that's pretty much it, now MGS rising that's a beauty :P, the E3 trailer showed some gameplay and it looks really good, hope its not vaporware.

It's Metal Gear Solid, the fans will scream for blood if it doesn't release. :P

Oh yeah, agree - I think I saw it a few years back before I got it and was impressed, but the only real standout were the character models for me.

It has a nice art style at least and the models are pretty detailed.

Textures were flat though and it was sub HD, not really impressive at all technically. Drakes Fortune blew it out of the water.

Personally i think gears 3 looks even better than UC3. Way more polished.

savagetwinkie

LOL.

Gears 3 has no AA whatsoever. has framerate dips as low as 24 fps. stereoscopic 3D looks terrible, too.

FAIL gears has the fxaa i think its called, you don't know what your talking about

FAIL Gears 3 hadFXAA in the beta but not in the final game.

Oh come on now :P A split second drop which has no impact on gameplay, is virtually unnoticeable and occurs very very rarely whilst the game manages to hold 30fps consistently is nothing to try and laugh about.

[QUOTE="Drakan11"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] Epic fail. You relied on beta graphics and use the photomode from Uncharted 2 to tweak the lighting, it doesn't even look like that when I play and I'm a Rank 41. And Uncharted 2 is still a jaggy mess.:lol:

mitu123

Nah, it looks like that. I have no idea why your rank has anything to do with it, but I'm a higher rank than you so obviously I am the correct one. Then again I play on Full HD plasma screen with max PS3 display settings, don't know about anybody else.

Being a Rank 41 takes days and is proof that I know what the map looks like. Find me a screen of you controlling your character with that lighting that's so obviously a tweak it's not even funny. And I play on a 1080p monitor as well.

it takes a min to level up once you hit the 20's

check out the other vids. it drops during the intense moments, has screen tearing, no AA.

UC2 ran at 30 fps 99.9% of the time, had AA, and had zero screen tearing (yes, literally zero).

I'm still sticking to the statement I made above. UC2 ran extremely well, but Gears 3 edges it out.

Forza 3 had better performance than GT5, yet GT5 still looked better. The same rule applies here.

I love UC2, but Gears 3 looks better.

Imo, U3 looks better than Gears 3 from what I've seen. Either way they are both amazing franchises.

Having played all, Killzone 2/3, Uncharted 2 and God of War all look better if not equal to Gears 3. It's hard to tell, it's close, but they seem to have a hell of a lot more effects and stuff going on then Gears, more impressive. Gears is really static, with weak animations, and very few great effects. It focuses the graphics more on textures, which is fine, but not as impressive overall.

You're really splitting hairs when comparing these games graphically. I like Gears 3 more than an UC game, but I don't think the game looks as good as some people are trying to front. Maybe that's because I was playing Crysis and The Witcher 2 waiting for Gears 3 lol.

Both games and UC3 look great, I'm happy I will be a proud owner of all 3.

You must be talking about Gears of War 1 right? Because Gears of War 3's color palette is MUCH better.

Sorry but you seem to be talking about Gears 1 and 2. Static? Gears 3 has some of the best particle and smoke effects i have ever seen (finally since the first 2 had basically none) and lots of units at the same time. Go play Act 3 Chapter 1 for a good example.

Simply put...

Crysis 2 on 360 > anything on PS3 and Gears 3 > Crysis 2. :P
