And what are you trying to do mr. IgorAntunov? Game looks great, game is technicaly grat, it's not Crysis level but without a doubt the best looking console game to date. My coclusion is that yo're just another sad xbox fanboy who is angry on Bungie for Reach screenshots :P

You are wrong,you really are.Uncharted 2 could be done on 360 with less time and money,and look exactly the same :)

then why isnt there an xbox game that matches uncharted? Its been out a year earlier, and is proven to be easier to develop for, why are there no games that rival UC2 or even Killzone2, a game that has been out a year? especially since you say it would be cheaper, and UC2 only had a budget of about 20 mil...

What are you guys blind?Its said a million times that MS 1st party isnt really there to push the hardware,they DONT HAVE TO.Sony has to prove that its console is the best,so they have to pump more money to their 1st party,that is FACT.You repeat that U2 and KZ2 like sheeps...yes they are great looking but there will be better looking games then those two,even this year.And when Crysis 2 comes...well gfx debates will be over...

As someone said , it still does look WAY better than anything on the 360 , goes to prove that either A - devs working on 360 are inconpetent in the gfx department or B- The 360 is really unable to push those gfx.

The most technical game on PS3 is Killzone 2 without a doubt. I own both games btw.

I've never undertood the perpus with these "technically impressive" debates.

If a game looks great, runs great and plays great what's the problem? Why should the people that play the games bother with how many numbers a game is crunching while running?

This reminds me of all the "Killzone 2's lightning effects are fake" threads about this time last year which had me laughing every time. I think some people needs to go out more if they are starting to believe that any lightning effects in a game are real.

It's lemmings trying to get some damage control. OR perhaps hermits trying to get bragging rights. Typical SW if you ask me. Personally, I play gameplay, not graphics.

I've been a pc gamer for aeons, I bought an xbox360, wii etc. All have their positives, I finally bought a ps3 primarily in order to have a blu-ray player and also to play some of the better exclusives. I got uncharted 2 for my first ps3 exclusive game, just finished it. 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. It has nothing the xbox360 couldn't do, and it's a league behind something like crysis. 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 hardware, there are cheap shaders plastered over every texture, and lighting is used cleverly to give you something more than is actually there. Contrast the dark areas to the light filled areas, the dark areas look average and in parts mediocre. It also helps that there is a heap of variety in every scene, giving the game a refreshing look at all times. In the end this game is a big budget title polished to the nth degree and infused with a heap of developer talent, in terms of gameplay, art assets and animation. Testament to this is the lack of pop-in or any significant glitches, and the meticulous camera placement. This implies that the devs spent huge amounts of time making every scene and set-piece look as good as possible using their artistic talents, arranging the huge number of pre-baked shadows just so, using many simple light effects for maximum impact, and animating the hell out of every action by the player character and every other. This was possible because the game is so very linear and confined, but this doesn't matter because it's so well done. The AI could use some work, 40% of the time enemies would just blow themselves up with grenades. Can the 'uncharted has awezomes technical grafix better than crysis and any xbox360 game please end?' Technically, it doesn't. Artistically, it is a personal opinion. You can argue that, as can you argue that mario galaxy has the best artistic graphics. Thankyou.IgorAntunov
