I look at UC2 it looks good but when you compare it to even RE5 you see they are very alike. Uc2 has a slight cartoony look and artwork can make a game look really good with decent tech behind it. To me RE5 beats UC2 at: Texures(look at the ground in the UC2 vid even on some of the buildings), amount going on on-screen. UC2 beats RE5 at: A.I(correct me if you feel this is wrong but there "infected" so they are bound to be brainless.), and draw distance? Everything else I did not mention, I think they are even.

Uncharted 2 has tons more clutter in the enviroment, better lighting, high resolution textures, and from what I can see just more details with the special effects.

kids these days have nerdified to a rather sad extent. I see pictures of so many gorgeous looking games and then read comment that it looks awful and did you see the pointy corner or the slight blurring of a texture. Just sad... (not a stab at you Camer999, you've just reminded me of another issue)

No, I think RE5s graphics are overrated. Never has a game in with a daytime setting been so dark.

You need to get a better TV because RE5 isn't dark at all.

I see a lot of lemmings talking about RE 5 lately. Is that the new graphics King for 360? What about Gears 2? I've played The 360 and PS3 version of RE5 and neither even comes close to KZ2, so obviously it doesn't look better then UC1 let alone UC2.

Currently it's KZ2 > Gears 2 > RE5. IMO.

The Uncharted 2 beta looks better than RE 5 or is at least on par with it. I've played through RE 5 four times and have only put a couple of hours into the U 2 beta.

i think its fully deserved from what i've seen. the beta is AT LEAST on par with RE5, so the full game should definately be better looking.

How is that bashing? Drakes fortune looks great, and online is expected to have a drop in visual quality.

Console graphic debates are a bit like arguing over who is the best little league football player. We wind up looking like those soccer moms who beat up other soccer moms when we get into it.

It will probably be the best looking console game. On the other hand, the game in general seems to have been getting over-hyped. For example, hyping it to be GOTY? Well, it's a sequel to an 8.0 game in the same generation, so I doubt it. It's not like it will be that different.

Uncharted 2 looks better. Technicals are stronger, art style is subjective and debateable. Thats it really.

I think it's pretty overrated graphically, looks good but doesn't stand out to me in good or bad among the other big budget games of this gen, of course I'm no technical expert just calling it how I see it.

why don't you go find a specific post of his to prove all he dose is bash 360...hell since you say that is ALL he dose why to you find 2 or 3 should be easy since that's all he dose right? Otherwise YOU are the fanboy and lier who is just trying to protect a fellow xbox fan who is also a known fanboy.

No, it's definetely deserved. I'm playing the beta right now and it's really, really impressive. Especially the animations, melee moves are so fluid and jumping over ledges and stuff just looks so realistic. The draw distance is also insane.

I look at UC2 it looks good but when you compare it to even RE5 you see they are very alike. Uc2 has a slight cartoony look and artwork can make a game look really good with decent tech behind it. To me RE5 beats UC2 at: Texures(look at the ground in the UC2 vid even on some of the buildings), amount going on on-screen. UC2 beats RE5 at: A.I(correct me if you feel this is wrong but there "infected" so they are bound to be brainless.), and draw distance? Everything else I did not mention, I think they are even.

Camer999

first of all remember that U2 has not been released yet so makes no sense comparing it... secondly RE5 while have great visuals is not on the same level as U2.. I just spent some time on the beta and apart from being a blast & lots of fun, it is visually impressive..

U2's beta is like playing Geow2 online, but faster-paced and the cover system is also better... add to that climbing on to ledges, buildings, walls etc for extra cover / better shooting zones and you have one hell of a great online :P

Yeah but I said in the same generation. I doubt the improvements will be as drastic as going from MGS3 to MGS4.

by the fottage iv seen unharted is console graphic king......But u no wat the funny thing is? its not even done yet...they have months of polishing to do. res 5 is only good for charater models. in uncharted 2 when u go into water that part of your body acually gets wet. which game does that? nd even if they do i doubt they do it better then uncharted. hell even uncharteed 1 is close to res 5 let alone U2. wait till the game is finished then play the game if u have a ps3 which i doubt beczuae only 360 fan would try to compare U2 to res 5. so play it, nd enjoy the lush envirnments U2 has to offer. look at the lightin, textures and all that. o and i recomend you take off your fanboy goggles off because its been said the game will blind you if u hav that on........u wanna compare uncharted atleast compare it to the current console graphic king (killzone):roll:

gears does not have better graphics then res 5....why? because uncharted 1 is tied with gears 2 nd res 5 beats them both. then kilzone crushes them all, then U2 will steal the crown, then alan wake will FAIL ridiculously, then 360 fanboys will cry, then we will c 100 threads of crysis pics on system wars just to prove a point. yes i can tell the future.....injoy

The textures look impressive, that's pretty fair to say. I think that it's not so much the graphics that really gets people to hype this game. It's really more a combination of the VERY fluid animations (of both Drake and the enemies), the physics, and just the shear amount off stuff that goes on at the same time as a person is playing. Along with the cinematic/action pack parts mixed in the gameplay, this is probably what is getting people to hype this game up more than anything. Graphics look great and detailed, but people aren't just hyping this game for that reason alone. They are just probably using the term graphics to represent what I just decribed. Looking at just screenshots definitely doesn't do this game justice at all.

This is Uncharted 1's graphics. It has the best textures out of any console game. So yea the hype for Uncharted 2 is deserved. http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/1492/dscf7944ud7.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/nchoudhury/Uncharted%20Grabs/Uncharted5.jpg http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/2701/dsc02440xg6.jpg http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/1190/dsc02444dg5.jpg

The Uncharted 2 beta looks better than RE 5 or is at least on par with it. I've played through RE 5 four times and have only put a couple of hours into the U 2 beta.Floppy_Jim
