I picked equal. I think it's more telling that lots of people think it's equal/Gears looks better - when 6 months ago cows were claiming that 360 has maxed out. Which, judging by Gears, Rage and Crysis - it wasn't. It was claimed that 360 would NEVER match UC2 - but imo it does/can. If anyone knows how to push the 360, it's going to be Epic.

I would say that Uncharted 2 takes it, but it is close. I think the vividness of the colour helps it.

From what I've seen of both, they are honestly very similar. Cows just need to admit it. On that note Crysis 2 is amazing. The first time I saw that build crash, my jaw dropped. VERY realistic, and the scale is amazing.

I'm going to say equel, but U2 is a lot more appealing. Geow is same colorless made of rust world, altough this time they got vegetation look like vegetation.

Its close; but I'd say U2. Character models are a big thing to me; and Gear's are just hideous to look it.

Me to...lighting is phenomenal.Than again,this seems to be later build than that in daytime.You can see it...better particles and textures in general.They will probably tweak it.I mean...what is Crysis without amazing day time? :P

Just because the tc decided to be biased and put ugly gears 3 shots besides a ton of UC2 bullshots shots I voted Gears to be better.

So, you being biased enough about gears 3 to get upset about the pictures had nothing to do with the vote?

Difficult to say at this point. People who are saying either game wins by a mile need to wake up. If any one wins, it's by a very small amount.

i voted when there were just 3 pics vs. 3 pics, and voted for Gears because in those comparative shots, Gears just showed better

course i come back and the TC has added like 3 billion Uncharted 2 pics

anyways UC2 is still imo the best looking PS3 game, it's really hard to top it, i'd say Gears 3 is pretty damn good looking regardless if it ends up beating UC2 or not

Hey hamzah(TehKillzonelova to all you folks not in the know), I was just wondering...if you're so confident in UC2's graphical supremacy, why bother going through the trouble of stretching small GeOW3 pics to larger sizes in order to diminish the image quality?

Teh Proofz:

IGN original | 640x360

Intentionally skewed pic | 792x453

|

---

IGN original | 640x360(59?)

Intentionally skewed pic | 792x418

---

IGN original | 640x360(59?)

Intentionally skewed pic | 790x469

------

Yet, you managed to leave the UC2 bullshot in native form, with click through links to the higher res/quality pic, but no click through to the higher quality Gears 3 pic. That's actually, pretty funny stuff:lol::lol:...

Hahahaha GCP...man you owned them...i KNEW there was something fishy about those Gears 3 shots which are not bullshot.Not only did they post UC2 bulls vs Gears 3 in game,but they intentionally resized it to look blurry.They should have gone with bullshot vs bullshot at first place,not bullshot vs in game stretched,resized...embarrassing...man damage control is hard these days :)

U2 is the better looking game.

Gears 3 looks like Gears 2 but with more color so far.

I mean, not that the poles don't already reflect it but UC2 is just the better looking game. Gears 3 look like Gears 2 with better lighting and colors. Which is great, but UC2 has all that plus more. It just looks better. That simple.

This is totally unfair.You are posting bullshots from UC2 and EARLY shots from Gears 3.Gamecubepad made GREAT comparison.Where they are both set in similar environments and it looked like much better comparison than this.Shame on you...they are about equal...

could you provide a link to the comparison

Screens grabs of in-game footage from high-quality HD videos. In other words, stronger in these pics, stronger in the vids...

---

Yeah, "bu-but UC2 looks better in direct source shots"...so does Gears 3, but this way we know they're in-game shots for comparable sources.

Gears 3 will equal or surpass UC2 in image quality. Accept it.

I'll have some 720p side-by-side vids ready to roll in a while. No difference from the shots above.

No it's not, but you should present your opinions as such - rather than such authoritive statements.

UC1 had a lot of technical problems, UC2 fixed those tears and added a lot of intricate details on top of it. Digital Foundry even said UC1>KZ2 in gfx.

unreal engine has gotten some significant improvements. example would be UT3 and then the UT3 demo in the UDK with updated engine

UT3

UDK engine
