Before the cows eat me alive, let me just say:

Uncharted is one of the best looking games I've seen, and will be buying it soon

But I think the graphics are over rated, the game looks like a cartoon and sometimes the character models look like plastic action figures.

people have always said uncharted looks better than gears and mgs4

Uncharteddidn't even get 10/10 or even 9.5/10 for graphics

IGN gave Gears of War 1 and MGS4 a 10/10 for graphics

and uncharted a 9/10 for graphics

"Graphically, Uncharted's beautiful as you tear down trees with turrets, watch Nate's clothes saturate with lagoon water and the sun filter through the leaves, but there is a lot of texture pop-in on the jungle floor and treasures while aliasing on the walls and screen tearing are par for the course. It shouldn't take you out of the experience, but it is noticeable"

that being said how could it even be called graphics king?

also say Uncharted 2 is the graphics king doesn't make sense either since it looks almost exactly the same

Because Drake's clothes get wet and make him super sexy. Does Fenix look sexy when he's chainsawing some Locus? No he doesn't.

That quote over states any graphical problem. Uncharted has many things that gears 1 doesn't have: more than one color, very good lighting, some of the best animations, physics effects like water and explosions, and the textures are often just as good if not better than gears 1.

It isn't. Any fair & balanced gamer, like myself, would tell you that Gears 2 is the graphics king. But hey, we've already had polls that indicates that.

Are you kidding me? The thing about uncharted is it looks way better in motion than it does in pics. And uncharted 2 in pics looks as good if not better than uncharted 1 gameplay. I'm too lazy to pull out some comparison pics but it's true.

Uncharted 2 already shows more detail than the first (realtime cut-scene-wise), but we haven't even seen any gameplay footage to judge properly...and knowing how its still early the final product will most likely look stunning. If you've played uncharted all the way through, there is no way anyone would say it doesn't look stunning...my jaw dropped when i got up to the part when you have to jet ski with your partner while she shoots the guys. The game obviously has its own artisiti-cartoony look, but its very detailed. Gears 2 has a clayish-like look. big deal.

Agreed, though MGS packs much more of a bunch, gears 2 wins by just the sheer amount of tiny details

Uncharted was the best looking console game for awhile. The graphics are amazing and there's actually some colour to it. Even the clothes that Drake was wearing looked amazing. It wrinkles when he moves and actually gets wet. The facial animations are really good, which is something Gears of War was lacking in. Remember the close ups on Fenix in Gears of War? Those were awful, but Gears of War 2 looks better, hopefully Uncharted 2 brings some graphical improvement as Gears of War 2 did to the first Gears. I think Assassin's Creed looks really good too. I would have placed that as second against Uncharted awhile back.

When you accually buy the game and play it on a Nice HDTV with HDMI and full RGB and Super white setting on, THEN come back and tell me how good the textures and physics are. Once you see the realistic textures and fluid motion of the water, and the awsome textures and colour of the whole world around you, you will only know for yourself.

Posting the best of the best off-screen shots, which eliminates aliasing, won't win anyone over. Uncharted looks fabulous, though.

I didnt think uncharted looked that great until i played it and realized it blew away gears 1. And since then I've played gears 2 and really its a toss up. Uncharted looks consistently amazing while gears looks good in parts and no so good in other parts. Really its pretty even.

And on a side note, has anyone else noticed how bad the perspective is with the way drake is holding/aiming his gun in reference to the reticle on screen. The gun is always turned slightly more right in his hand and if you say aim at a rock, based on perspective the gunshot would hit like 2 feet to the right of where the reticle shows. Its like it shows too much of the side of the gun or that he just isnt holding it straight. It bugs me but its no big deal. I dont see how they could have screwed this up. Everyone I've pointed it out to in person while playing at my house noticed the same thing.

Ehh lets be honest, Gears 2 does own uncharted but it still holds up well, but will have to see when U2 comes out. Also I feel ya on the aiming thing it was weird at first but I got used to it.

I don't see any that match FNR3's graphics... (eg. it blows away Soul Calibur 4, Dead or Alive 4, Marvel VS DC, and Virtual Fighter 5).

Good thing your not a reviewer, their is more than just pretty looks of graphics...tearing, graphics issues and hiccups can not the score down, no matter how good it looks in general.

so it was trying to do what it wasn't really capable of, causeing the texture pop in , jags, and screen tearing

It's kinda like crysis. Sure with a typical rig it will give you some graphical problems (like framerate) but who the hell cares since it looks so awesome? Only for consoles. And which is why it's a 9/10 yes still has the best graphics.

It's not the graphics king, Crysis is considered to be graphics king. Unless you're talking about consoles? Because you never said you were TC.

That *is* off-screen (look in the top left and also note the fact that the bottom of the picture is curved, indicating that it is on a TV and the camera isn't angled right), and the point is that off-screen shots make it look better than it really is by eliminating aliasing (also known as "jaggies") and screwing with the lighting.

It isn't. Any fair & balanced gamer, like myself, would tell you that Gears 2 is the graphics king. But hey, we've already had polls that indicates that.BioShockOwnz
A fair and balanced gamer would know that the reason Gears 2 got the plurality of the votes was because Uncharted and MGS4 split the vote of all the Sony fans, not because Gear of War 2 is the undisputed graphics king.

I think Gears of War 2 is the current graphics king so far. With its scope and its technical excellence, it trumps the other contenders. Uncharted's levels are a lot smaller in size to Gears 1, let alone Gears 2. Hell, Gears 2 almost reaches the size and scope of Halo 3's giant levels, though with several smoke and mirrors. But Uncharted has its own special charm to it. I think it is the animation king on consoles. The only reason people question Gears 2's graphics is the stiffer animation. Uncharted's animation is super sleek and sexy. Love it.
