Yes, in my opinion as a gamer. not talking about the console. I think all next gen console can produce this visuals...

but until now, this is the best console rendering i've ever seen. I think it's the matter of the developers.



Here's the shot I took... enjoy :)

I think it does. Gears of War looks way outdated for me now. I played it recently since my brother got the collector's edition. He plays Gears all the time, but we can both agree that Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed and Halo 3 look more impressive overall than Gears.

I have to say the cave level in Gears was one of the first jaw-dropping visual moments of next-gen for me. It looked like concept art come alive.

too bad I haven't playing Mass Effect though.

But I have dissapointed by other game using Unreal Engine recently. For example Blacksite, i've been playing the demo, it's looks great. But when renting the full game, seems the graphics had been down graded, proven by the no flowing watter effects applied at the building's wall when raining. The shadow is pretty bad too... well once again it's depends on developers. And I trust Epic to do all the magic.

Gears of War is an amazing looking game but I agree 110% that Uncharted is the better looking one hands down. I own both and Uncharted is just so damn beautiful. I would actually put Mass Effect ahead of Gears of War but theres too much damn pop-in and slowdown that really takes you out of the expereience.

Uncharted is very colourful, but the textures aren't up to scratch with Gears, and many aspects are very undetailed up-close.

Mass Effect looks a lot better IMOsaolin323

hellll no. uncharted looks a little better imo. Mass effect is FAR to inconsistent in its graphics. some characters are beautifull, some are downrighht ugle. same with environments.

gears looks great.

Gears of War was GOTY last year. That doesn't make it "old" by any standards. It was the first defining game of this generation, what was Uncharted? I'll answer for you: It was nothing compared to Gears.

Your TV has terrible black value, you need to turn the brightness down to half of whatever it is now, and calibrate your colors.

Yes indeed. I have gears on my PC and play it with the DX10 renderer. It looks incredible. Before I got it on my PC I played it on my friends house on his 360 and I was blown away by the graphics..even compared to what was out on the PC at the time! And to this day when I compare my friends 360 with my PC with my brothers PS3 I still think PC looks best followed closely by 360 then PS3. Thats just me. Very good looking game though!

Sorry, I didn't realize playing a game on my PS3, hooked up to my 42" 1080p plasmavia a $130 monster hdmi cable = watching gametrailer vids. Your setup must be amazing.

And for the record, Uncharted is a fantastic looking game. I just think people have fallen in love with its graphics due to the fact that it's extremely bright and colorful throughout the game. Assassin's Creed is actually graphically more impressive in a lot of ways (character models are more detailed, character animations are better, draw distance is fantastic, etc.), but Assassin's Creed has a more washed out color palette, which I think hurts it in the eyes of some people.

I think your comparing the art more than the graphics power. I highly doubt halo 3 is more graphics intensive as Gears ...

Frankly, I thought the water effects looked prety bad on that level. Granted, I was playing it directly after a healthy dosage of Crysis, so that might have schewed my opinion a little.

Post direct feed screenshots, no crappy offscreens that makes things look better ok cow? uncharted is a mix of low and high resolution textures, with crappy low poly character models and small enviroments.

Mass Effect looks like utter crap to me.

It has horrible texture loading problems (sometimes textures are constantly streaming throughout a entire conversation as the viewpoint changes.). It has pathetic framerate problems, and i really hate how they dim the outside edges of the screen.

IMO, Mass Effect is in NO state to have been released, and for the life of me i cant figure out how Bioware is getting away with it.

All my Opinion of course, but ill damn sure defend it.

The thing about gears is that it was arguably the best looking game at the time. The same can't be said about uncharted. I personally prefer Mass effect and some parts of halo 3. The first planet in Mass effect Edan Prime blew me away graphically.

You know, I've never experienced any of these framerate problems that everybody complains about with the game. I've had minor framerate drops, but never anything major. I guess I'm lucky.

Of course it's not. Crysis exists now. That's really harsh competition.

Lemming are really making themselves look silly by denying Uncharted's graphical supremacy. What should I expect though? There's still people running around saying PS3 has 256MB of RAM.
