NaughtyDog reveals Uncharted 2 Graphics info. Drake rendered with 80k polygons

NaughtyDog Reveals Uncharted 2 Graphics info/Poly Count

Just by viewing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves screens or trailers, the first thing you'll notice are the incredible graphics. Naughty Dog was able to utilize the power of the Cell processor more than ever before, which allowed them to focus the graphics chip to certain aspects of the game.

In a video interview found in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Pal England, Lead Programmer at Naughty Dog, talked about the graphics of Uncharted 2. The main characters typically have eighty thousand polygons in them. Even more impressive, just using the graphics card, Naughty Dog was able to pump out two million triangles in every frame.

"Our characters they typically have eighty thousand polygons in you know, one character, like the main character. In total- what we try to push through to the graphics chip at one point two million triangles that we try to draw every frame. We do a lot using the cell processor."

Naughty Dog really pushed the PS3 hard this time around and it shows. Every level in Uncharted 2 looks better than the previous. Look for a full review later this weekend.

Nathan Drake is rendered with 80k polygons, as are all of the character models. Yes, you read it right. Eighty-thousand. Eighty thousand polygons in ONE FREAKIN CHARACTER WTF?

Just for comparison, Kratos has 20k polygons in God of War 3, Snake had 15k Polygons in Metal Gear Solid 4, and I believe Marcus had 12k Polygons in Gears 2.

All I have to say to that is WOW.

EDIT: Also, just to make this thread a little more fun, here are the Crysis numbers:

Crysis Character models
As we are using attachments we have to split the triangle numbers in the separate parts:
* Heads 3k triangles
* Body 5k triangles
* Attachments 1 k triangles

EDIT#2: Oh, yea, and how could I forget.... ITS OVER 9000!!!

That's really awesome, why does this matter though?

The new Kratos features blended normal maps for realistic muscle flexing, high-res shaders, rim shaders to stand out from the environment and other elements. In fact, Asmussen mentioned that his character model wouldn't even fit in the PS2's memory. Compared to the 5,000-polygon count on the PS2, Kratos is now running around 20,000 polygons on the PS3 alone. LINK

Looking the other numbers up now, but yea, they were released shortly after the launch of those games.

That's a great achievement by Naughty Dog, though I think the PS3 will struggle more with the same high resolution textures that most PC games has, since it only has 512MB RAM. Consoles has allways been strong in polygon count. I have tried out Crysis myself without these mods that most of the pictures on this Forum are using, and it looks great, but not something that can't be done on a smaller scale on consoles. It's an avarage shooter with great graphics and huge open areas. I have allways said that the water in the first Uncharted looks better than the water in Crysis.

Game looks great. That's about as much in depth as I want to go, commence to freaking out.

My Mid-Range Computer, which runs on old hardware can do crysis like this:

There is no way that Uncharted is gfx king, and The_Core_Gamer is a known cow.
