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

[QUOTE="siddhu33"]

[QUOTE="TheCoreGamer_"] is that suppose to look better then uncharted 1? Martin_G_N

Uncharted 1 shots that aren't bullshots. Also, my PC is quite cheap.

P.S- Why aren't you flirting with the crazy Mexican hobo fanboy on Youtube??

Very little is gained by doing things like this, and all they are doing is holding back other components of the rendering.KingsMessenger

Thats crazy. Tuesday cant come fast enough for me to pick this game up. I absolutely loved the first one. Naughty Dog are one of the top 5 developers in the world imo.

Why are people getting hyped over a number? Who cares how many polygons it uses, the end result is what counts. Developers don't aim to use the highest number of polygons, they aim to create the desired result with as few polygons as possible.

I don't know what poly count Crysis models use, if this is supposed to be higher then it seems like a waste to me, Crysis models looked great and did it with less.

Who cares? There's a lot more to making models look good than polygon count. Crysis models blow away Uncharted models with a lot fewer polygons.

Yeah, 2 games you'll probably never play in your life, who cares.

...? I've played Crysis and Uncharted.

I would say that Uncharted 2 isn't even up to par with Risen...

Notice how much bigger scale this game is than Uncharted 2.

Much less Crysis... The scale is still pretty high AND it looks much better.

uncharted 2 is better than crysis /thread, not to mention to idiots who talk about 2500x1600 16X AA, so how many of you can run crysis at this resolution? I thouught so lol about 2 percent of the human population

lol I swear you people crack me up always talking about the graphics in Uncharted 2, if ya'll think this game looks good I bet ya'll will crap in your pants if you saw Crysis on PC maxed out running at 1920x1200 16xAA 16xAF, no game on any console this generation will even come closeProjectPat187

youre absolutely right, but how many ppl can achieve this with 60fps with pc hardware? probably less than 2 percent of the human population

plenty other games have nice cover animations, how are uncharted 2's better than Mass Effect's, GTA IV, GeOW...GTR2addict

more than two years later, of course you'd expect a 700dollar pc to run crysisat decent settings.
the hardware of consoles however, remain the same.
never the less, pc gaming is stillexpensive.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, PS3, 2007

Main characters – ~20,000-30,000 polygons

Drake – ~30,000 polygons

Pirates – ~12,000-15,000 polygons

If any of you actually care how game art is made head on over to the polycount or game artist forums. Insomniac artists as well as some artists from epic games post up plenty of art work.

Here's a couple of screenshots of Red Alert 3 for the PC. Amazing aren't they? 1000x better than Uncharted 2 aren't they? Especially the 1st one! :D

Can you grasp the sarcasm in my post?

Cutscenes are like this, it's just a movie being played for you to watch. Cutscenes can't be used in graphics comparisons any more than these two screenshots can. Even if a game includes cutscenes with Pixar-like quality, they can't be used in graphics comparisons, it's a movie for crying out loud!

RE5 character models look better.Tessellation

thats great. But the new push as been towards textures, no polygons.lhughey

Poly count isn't everything... horgen123

Actually it is, polygons and textures make up pretty much everything on screen :P

Of course just because polygons are the foundation of graphics doesn't mean cramming more into something automatically makes it better.

i dont think anyone expected uncharted 2 to have a 97 metacritic rating lol, BLOWN AWAY

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"][QUOTE="TheCoreGamer_"] because if im not mistaken, this is more then Crysis. PC owners owned.TheCoreGamer_

well when it comes to pc gaming only crysis has pushed the limits of graphics, i ask the question, is it worth it for one game? pretty good campaign, crappy multiplayer, so one game this generation in graphics is crysis which is unmatched but I ask the question again....is it worth it? pc gaming talks about great graphics but so far there has been only one game the past several years that has pushed hardware, the next jump isnt going to happen until 2012/2013 when the next consoles arrive...so i ask again.........is it worth it????

only crysis? you think only crysis looks better than most console games? Have you forgotten about nearly all the multiplats released for both consoles and pcs?

and check the textures on this game:

You have to judge the visuals of a game in motion so check some of the other vids of the game and honestly, playing STALKER with the additional mods makes it look better than anything I've played except for crysis.

Which ofcourse can do things like this:
