I realize that the screens basically make Uncharted look like a PoS, but I just got wind of this video.  It's kind of crap quality (the vid, not the game) but it certainly conveys how goddamn gorgeous Uncharted looks.  Crysis may have it beat technically, but since I'm not paying $400 on the graphics card alone, I'll be happy to settle for this.

Bring any Gears pics or vids that you like to compare, as I probably do not know where to look for the best vids and pics.

Totally different environmental settings makes for a hard comparison; bright jungle versus dark crumbling war zone. Right now Ill say gears, but its early anduncharted already has a whole heap of character animations.

Yeah... but then, SW doesn't appear to care.  I mean... they're comparing Lair and GeoW.  Really.

But for some reason gametrailers is being really choppy for me.  And that's a vid of a different section.

LOL, they've already voted Gears above Uncharted.  I dunno, but something tells me none of them bothered to watch the vid.

I dunno, they're pretty hard to compare. But I'm gunna give the nod to Gears of war.Because it's much more beautiful to look at.

I have to disagree, there's nothing beautiful about GeoW. Pun intended. I guess it just comes down to taste, but i prefer Uncharted's lush jungle and waterfalls, etc. I'm also loving the animations and it looks like it's gonna be a very good action adventure/platformer game.

So if you have an opinion, you're automatically a fanboy? Sounds like the other way around...

it's kind of strange comparing them. gears is a gritty, dark game while uncharted is colorful and vibrant.

personally, i think uncharted is more visually appealing, but it would seem gears is much more detailed and technically better.

lol, you don't know much about the game do you... it's coming out this november.  And yes we can; this is actual gameplay.  While it may not be finished, that actually speaks in favor of Uncharted.

Uncharted is way more exposed and yet still looks beautiful, which is why I give it the nod in terms of impressiveness.

Wait.....is that video supposed to have framerate issues.....or is it not because of the game but rather the quality of the video?

Hard to tell, it seems to me like it was the games frame rate but i could be wrong...hence why i ask.

From a techincal aspect Uncharted will probably be superior. Artistically, it in my opinion is better than Gears. Gears did have it's run, it's not mind-blowing that Uncharted will be a visually more appetising game.

Much of what I've seen of Gears is mostly grey and gritty buildings and stuff, but I did like the underground mine, that was pretty cool. But of what I've seen of Uncharted so far, the lush jungle and water animations look alot more appealing. So my vote to Uncharted...but not saying that it beats the sh** out GeOW, but just a bit better.

Cows need to stop hyping Uncharted, it looks like **** ..for now. I know the game isn't in it's final stages, but they need to something about the greenery. The leaves seem too bright and glowy.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

And if you think Uncharted looks like ****, you need to quit gaming and find a different hobby

I think uncharted looks pretty shabby, actually. The gameplay clips i've seen all have animation problems, the clipping for character contact is waaaay off, and not to mention the game is just a male version of Tomb Raider. There just isn't any originality in this game, when the developers themselves admit that they pretty much cobbled together all the best elements of today's most popular games... Uncharted is a Frankenstein and a certain flop.

You never even played the ******* game.

As someone already mentioned, you can't selectively apply the "cobbled together gameplay" statement. If Uncharted sucks because it uses elements from other games, then Gears sucks because it uses elements from RE4 and Kill.Switch.

And also, we were talking about graphics. Nitpicking some clipping issues doesn't really change the fact that the game looks fantastic.

I'm with Fuzzy on this one, each title has something they excel in. I personally think Uncharted has a hand on Gears overall but that's not a fair comparison. Uncharted could look better or worse when it launches, so I'll wait.

gears really didn't look all that anyway. towards the latter levels everything was ******* one color. either it was Crap Brown or Muted Gray.

seriously, I can understand if you said certain aspects of the game were rough around the edges.

But if you think the entire game looks like ****, then according to your standards, 95% of current and upcoming titles are unplayable.
