Uncharted 2's graphics ain't technically impressive

I agree, U2 looks absolutely outstanding.

And to add, it does look better than anything on 360 so far.

Crysis on the other hand, of course not.

ain't ain't a word and u ain't supposed to say it

it also has no loading screens except the one when you start the game.

add the AA, stable frame rate and great visuals. and you got a great game on the technical side

He...hes right...Any Ps3 game can be done on 360. Just use another disk. The only difference is the blu ray disks. Bigger. But idk, I played some ps3 games. I other than MGS4 being a movie/game. And a few others like that, I dont see much utilizing of the full blu ray or dual layer blu ray. But eh. Its fine.

Can't tell if your bashing or giving ND a compliment lol. So because the devs figured out a way to make a game look great without using stressful hardware and non efficent programming theres a issue?

Technical aspects are what you achieve on a console. Of course it won't have crysis graphics because crysis has significant more room to obtain those graphics. So a game like uncharted 2 looking the way it does on a console is a reason why its technical graphics are marvel. It looks great has tons of geometry, has zero jaggies, and looks almost beautiful from an art direction. Would you say Donkey Kong Country technical graphics are poor because it was on the snes compared to crysis. No I think that is one of the best technical games ever made.

No he's saying on a technical level UC2 doesn't come close to crysis, because cows recently have been trying to put UC2 against crysis using alot of opinionated nonsense to justify UC2 somehow looking better.

Here is the deal, the game uses a huge amount of pre-baked trickery, combined with awesome art direction (which includes alot of well done animation), to give an illusion of technical proficiency. IgorAntunov

It's biggest technical achievement is excellent anti-aliasing and smooth framerate, but seeing the engine for what it is, it comes as no surprise, the engine is not that demanding on the hardwareIgorAntunov

there are cheap shaders plastered over every texture.IgorAntunov

i dunno its tough on what the 360 can and can not do the 360's gpu can only stretch as far as it can 4 there where the ps3 cpu is pretty much more powerful the the 360's gpu and cpu it can create more effects cos no developer has not even used the full potential of the cpu let alone the gpu so i believe we still have got to c what the ps3 is capable off

An excellent post, from an excellent poster.

It looks good on a 5 year old GPU. The developers did a nice job with such limited hardware. The jaggie fest in the game is a nightmare, however.

No its not an issue but it doesn't prove the PS3 is more powerful then the 360, just that ND did an insane job on that game. TOAO_Cyrus1

Exactly. It has something to do within the talent of developers, not the hardware inside the PS3 itself. The only reason why we haven't seen such graphics like that on the 360 is because Microsoft's developers won't put in the time, energy, money, etc. to achieve those kind of graphics. While there aren't many 1st/2nd party games on the 360 that doesn't come close to UC2 graphically, they do indeed have a lot more talent unlike most of PS3's exclusives, & that's all that counts. And Cows can say whatever they like about it & twist it all around if they want to.

Give it the same kind of development time, & money, & I guarantee you that they'll come out to be the same on the 360.

Huh?

And you can't guarantee anything since you don't work on either platforms or know how either work.

Just to clarify, when I say technical I mean using many complex, high-end graphical effects dependent on current gen hardware to achieve awesome imagery. Crysis does that. Uncharted doesn't do that, it uses standard last gen (by pc standards) directx 9-esque graphical effects combined with very clever visual direction to give an illusion of more than meets the eye. Which is why i know it can be done on the Xbox360 with some modification, and a couple of dvd's.IgorAntunov

At least Halo 3 did prove that it's the better game judging by greater sales alone in far less time than either Uncharted 1 or 2 did.

Even though the game looks outstanding, the characters' teeth bothered me for some reason. I don't know why.SpiritOfFire117

halo 3 cost 80 million dollars (50 million advertisement, 30 million development). I doubt uncharted 2 among thieves didn't include the marketing seeing how if it didn't you are seeing the most expensive paid developers ever (all of them being paid more than 150k including artists).
