Looks like Uncharted 3 is using FXAA(2?) over MLAA. (Screenshots)

FXAA2 as it looks on Trials Evolution (Although a dev from the game is tinkering around with the sharper FXAA3 that was recently released)

Uncharted 3 MP(FXAA2)

God of War 3 (MLAA)

So ND ditched MLAA for more SPU time. I figured that would happen since UC3 is a more demanding game physics wise. It also explains the lack of MLAA in Infamous 2. Back to GPU post processing AA it is. (Well FXAA2 costs 0.9ms!)

Note: FXAA3 can be sharpened more to look like this God of War 3 shot, at the expense of more visible sub pixel aliasing.

If I'm guessing right... Naughty Dog might be using FXAA3 in the final build of Uncharted 3.

Would be nice i may be wrong but doesn't AA need to be implemented at the beginning of development because it completely distorts game processing times? Im no expert but i think they'd have to factor this in first.JohnF111

Nope. It's a post process filter. It does not affect the memory.

Rendering cost is 0.9ms. That's lighting fast compared to MSAA, QAA, and MLAA currently implemented on the PS3.

You can tell easily thatUncharted 3 is not using MLAA because this AA is blurring the picture more compared to God of War 3

Just curious, but what Antialiasing does inFamous2 use?

Those pics are from lens of truth. Unless your browser is blocking that site for being annoying...

I will never understand the masturbation over Uncharted's grafix. The game honestly doesnt look that mindblowing. There are games out right now that have better visuals, like Killzone 3 and Infamous 2. After playing the beta, the graphics are quite bad.

Its fine but cant compare to MLAA.You can clearly still see jaggies on that tree whereas the pillers on GoW3 are perfect.killzowned24

MLAA doesn't work on trees either.It's also less stabile in movement,and provides less sub pixel anti aliasing.Its still sharper than this FXAA implantation,though that could change in future.

The trials shot also looks funky like it has some screen door effect .take a close look at the mountains then scan rest of shot to see its everywhere.

Something is actually wrong with that pic. Sebbi (Trials dev) said the picture was lazily upscaled and that color correction was not added. lol The pic looks completely washed out on my monitor.

Whoa... Looks like MLAA on Xbox 360 is gaining steam (CVG Article. Posted today)

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/309595/xbox-360-improved-with-ps3-only-graphics-feature/

This should be ported to the PS3 ASAP. Uncharted 3 would look as crisp as God of War 3.

Wow, I still see jaggies in those 3 games, beats no AA though.

Oh the irony of the Blurzone comment. Killzone 3 looks much sharper than the Uncharted 3 Beta since it's using MLAA.

First off:

That's sharpness.

That's Blur..

Second MLAA can make games look even more blurred.

NO AA

MLAA

And lol @ "jagfamous". Uncharted 2 was FULL of jaggies and low res textures, that didnt even look finished. I have a hard time believing youve played Infamous 2 or Killzone 3. BTW, tc, I cant even see the Uncharted 3 pics.

This is an asthetically pleasing game:

Compared to:

Strong Graffix king. And before you scream "teh bullshots", this is exactly what BOTH games looked like on my television.

*waits for someone to scream "bullshots" so I can bring in the youtube videos*

Infamous two looks good but no where near those pics.

@StrongDeadlift

Why are you comparing finished single player graphics to multiplayer beta graphics?

The pics of inFamous 2 and Uncharted 3 are supersampled bullshots.

One question, why is there no AA in the infamous games ? MLAA at least ?TheGuardian03

MLAA eats up too much SPU time. For a game like inFamous, it couldn't afford it for all the physics.

A console game having no jaggies? Please be a joke post.

Uncharted 3 looks slightly better in screens than uncharted 2 but U3 beta is using FXAA and the IQ looks slightly degraded to me because FXAA doesnt clean up the image as good as MSAA. Lots of vertical shimmering in the Airship level.

I hope they use 2xMSAA instead like the previous games.

2xMSAA gives a much cleaner image compared to what MLAA/FXAA filters can provide.

Uncharted 2 level graphics are fine ND just give us a new game with improved gameplay and story.

NG only just implemented FXAA on the game, I'm sure their version will get better as they figure out how to use it properly.

FXAAx16 in Duke Nukem and F.3.A.R. FTW! Oh wait you cant do that on a console....

As far as comparing Uncharted to Infamous, they look about the same to me in terms of graphics. Uncharted looks like it has better lighting but it could just be the scenery. I think Uncharted is a higher quality game thanks to the excellent script and voice acting which Infamous lacks.

StrongDeadlift

bullshots? and bringing youtube videos mean nothing becuase you can get bull shot videos where nothing is running except a script no AI, most all graphics are pre loaded...ect But I've seen infamous 2 played and it doesn't look that good at all times or even at all it looks near it. Lets just hope Infamous 2 has a far better story then infamous doesn't fail to the glitches and faulty gameplay elements of infamous as well.
*goes back to his evil playthrough of infamous*

Is there such a thing as FXAAx16 ? I know Duke has it on the PC version, but I dont remember there being a number next to it.

He is on to something.

I tried DNF with FXAA and 720p resolution on my 40 inch lcd and found out that FXAAin DNF is much better at removing jaggies and is cleaner than U3 beta but the image was blurrier than U3 beta.

U3 beta looks as sharp as U2 with msaa but with more jaggies on some stuff in the background.

NG only just implemented FXAA on the game, I'm sure their version will get better as they figure out how to use it properly.

GTSaiyanjin2

Sony has been modifying it as we speak. 343i (Halo devs) have also been tinkering around with it.

That plus, the creator of FXAA introducing a sharper setting... It should be great.

And no FXAA16 does not exist. lol Console and PC are still at FXAA3.

Maybe ND can tweak the FXAA in U3 and get a better result.

There is no FXAAx16,but there is FXAA3 quality(PC version) and FXAA3 console(console version).PC version gives better results.Sharper and better,console version is faster and more blurred(PC version is actually not blurred at all).But judging by latest update it seems like console version can be "fixed",more sharp.
