This game looks really good for an open world game. But in my opinion uncharted looks better. But that's just in the eye of the beholder.

Uncharted is linear and this is open world. They are designed differently. A better game to compare this to is inFamous or Crackdown.

i dont think that should be an excuse personally :S I think a games graphics should be based purely on face value.

Uncharted 2's maps have so much attention to detail and the game in general has such a great art direction and top notch character animation/voice acting that I really find it pretty hard for most other shooters to look on par.

I agree too, but get ready for the cows to come mooing.

Honestly though between:

  • Just Cause 2
  • Lost Planet 2
  • ME2
  • Uncharted 2
  • Forza 3
  • GT5
  • Alan Wake
  • KZ2
  • Cryengine 3 game (unnamed)

Between these games, they all look redicuously good to the point where they could all be console graphics king, or better yet they all are better in certain areas. These games right here are proof enough to you fanboys (that means you lemmings and cows) that the 360 and ps3 are fairly equal (within 10% of eachother in terms of overall power)

Why don't people talk about games like this, this is the first time i've seen this i love jungle environments and now this has peaked my interest. First borderlands now this. Can you explore anywhere? The gunplay doesn't really interest me but i'd love to explore the islands. Also I have to disagree Uncharted 2 looks better graphically and overall. The entire point to Uncharted though is the characters and story, that's why it has such a cult fanbase, the graphics only compliment that.

That's the thing. Linear levels allow for greater detail since they are loaded once, where as open world games have to load and render on the fly, therefore are less detailed graphically. A game's design has a lot to do with it's graphics, you can't ignore that.

sandbox vs very linear cinimatic scripted gameplay, if you'd spent any time with just cause 1 and uncharted 1 you'd see there very different, not to mention ones an exclusive and ones a multiplat. just cause is more like prototype or red faction, uncharted is like playing a good movie

and yes zero-apyon is right, linear level design allows for far greater detail in the graphics

Looks pretty good for the scale of the game. Whether it's looks better than X or Y game, I can't say.

Ohh i agreee but from what ive seen of uncharted its Linear.. but its not exactly a corridor shooter. Its still wide n open and when games get rendered any smart developer optimises the game so it doesnt render the WHOLE level at once. You probs already know that Haha :)

Even then I find this game slightly under uncharted 2, buy banjo and kazooie looks awesome.

This looks like it will be a fun game. Especially the base jumping. Not sure comparing it to Uncharted 2 is fair though. Both different styles of gaming. Uncharted2's visuals will be tough to top.

That video makes it a little hard to compare.

I think they've built some really interesting mechanics into this game, although some are a little dubious... (grappling hook + parachute combo?), and the character animation needs to improve a bit, especially when he's firing the gun.

Video quality isn't good enough to get a clear view, but it seems like the environment isn't as detailed and filled with objects. Seems more like a polished version of Mercenaries.

The world is larger and looks better, but the animations and gameplay look far behind Uncharted 2.

Crysis should look like that, in terms of tropical brightness :D. Nevertheless, Uncharted 2 still looks better.

So did I. I don't think base jumping works like that.

Dude, holy crap this game looks awesome. The trees look great and the draw distances are ENORMOUS. I can't believe they managed to get this to run on the Xbox 360. I'd be interested in seeing exactly where the image/texture quality was in a higher quality screen shot/gameplay video but the stuff I love seems to all be there. Looks WAY better than the first game. Makes MW2 look like a joke.

I'm gonna be honest, I thought the first game was weaksauce, but this game's gunplay looks vastly improved and the parachute escape out of speedboat was pretty awesome. Considering you guys are probably the same people that find a chainsaw bayonet exciting, I figured that kind of thing might have the capacity to impress people.

I know I want to play it, which happens like once out of every dozen games I see.

If that's playing on a PC, the draw distance is horrible. And the trees looked like 2D sprites from a distance when he initially dived.

Pretty sure it's on xbox, at the top right of the hud there was controls, showing A,B,X,Y This game looks ridiculously fun.
