Uncharted 3 vs. Gears 3 - Serious Graphics Analysis

Uncharted 3 vs Gears 3

Character Models - Uncharted offers realistic and detailed characters that are almost life like. Gears has clumsy oveersized characters that overdosed on Barry Bonds HGH supplments and Locust that look like confused Dinosuars.

Winner- Uncharted 3 easily

Environments - Uncharted has way, way more variety. Expect to see desert, jungles, realistic urban cities, ocean, vehicles, ice caves, epic skylines, etc. Meanwhile Gears is pretty much limited to only broken down buildings. Uncharted also has much more detail since everything is hand drawn, while Gears re-uses assets from previous games.

Winner - Uncharted 3 easily

Special Effects - Uncharted 3 has better HDR effects. Better blurring. Better water. Better sand. However, when people think about special effects, they think about fire, smoke, and explosions.... and that is one area where Gears is better than Uncharted. Infact, it's probably the ONLY area that gears excels in when compared to Uncharted.

Winner - Gears 3

Lighting - Gears has nice lighting, but Uncharted has better lighting. Period. Watching Nathan Drake walk through the dimly lit cruise ship in the E3 demo was nice, and once he walked under a bright light it was eerily realistic abd became evident that Gears lighting is no match for Uncharted's.

Winner - Uncharted 3, but Gears also has nice lighting

Colors - Do you even need an explanation? This is the one area where Uncharted has always killed Gears. While Gears sticks to monotone grey/beige coloring, Uncharted has always flaunted greens, red, and blues. Uncharted uses colors better than any other game. Period.

Winner - Uncharted 3 easily.

Realism - Uncharted has perfectly proportioned characters and environments. Gears does not. It's also harder for artists to have a realistic look in there games, and Naughty Dog achieves that. Unreal Engine also gives everything a weird slimy/greasy look to it.

Winner - Uncharted 3 easily

Frame Rate - Out of all the Graphical powerhouses, Uncharted has always had the most solid frame rate. Even Killzone and Crysis dont compete with Uncharted when it comes to Frame Rate. You know when U3 comes out, it will be locked in at a silky smooth 30fps. On the other hand, Gears 3 demo at E3 looked choppy and previous games have had frame rate hiccups.

Winner - Uncharted 3

Animation - Another area where Uncharted is King. Uncharted 2 still has the best animations of any game on console. While Gears has canned and repetitive animations, Uncharted dynamically blends different animations for different body parts. Every time you take cover in Uncharted, there is always a different combination of animations going on between upper body and lower body. There are different running/walking animations depending on the situation in Uncharted. Meanwhile everything in Gears only has one animation.

Winner - Uncharted 3, easily

Destruction - Uncharted 3 has shown impressive destructability. While it probably isnt as good as Battlefield's, it still looks great and will add new ways to kill enemies in Uncharted. Gears on the other hand does not feature any destructability.

Winner - Uncharted 3 by default

Conclusion - Uncharted 3 has better graphics and performs better in every way imaginable except for fire/smoke effects. From a pure eye candy perspective, to a technical perspective, Uncharted 3 reigns supreme over Gears of War 3.

Here is a Gif of Uncharted 3 that is from REAL TIME, not CGI.

Why not post this in the other two threads already comparing the two games? Also dont try to not sound bias by making Gears 3 win one catagory when youre one of the biggest cows on this board.

Yes, Uncharted 3 looks alot better. Thats said I want both games.

More realistic, better colors, better animations, better lighting, etc etc. I could go on forever.

it's nice you're able to compare these two games when they're not even out yet.

Yup, UC3 stomps on GeoW3 for sure.

I'll take Gears 3 over Uncharted 3. Ya know since I've actually played Gears 3 (MP beta but still played) I must admit I'm stunned by what Epic was able to pull off. Its still not as good as Gears 1 PC, but its damn good for consoles. It has my vote for best.

There is like four of these threads on the first page.

alot of what you said is very opinionated, and you dont get into really any technical detail to back up alot of your claims, simply saying things like "Gears has nice lighting, but Uncharted has better lighting. Period" isnt much of an argument.

Uncharted 3 is the clear winner.

Ok seriously this is the 3rd or 4th thread on this. Nobody cares, at the end of the day they both look about the same and pale in comparison to many other games on PC so it's a pointless fight.

Same reason why people try and find the best possible UC3 screens and one of the more worse screen of GoW3.

Don't be a hypocrite.

I'm getting this game but in all honesty the UC3 MP graphics looks decent but the graphics are not blowing me away :? Right now I think the Gears 3 visuals top this because it maintains some sick visuals even in MP mode. Of course a lot can change between now and when both games are released.

Its crazy how much people care how games look its like you are playing it just to see the graphics, there is something called gameplay.TheGuardian03
