Uncharted looks better than Gears of war 2

Anybody who has played Uncharted knows this. I watched Gears of war 2 footage on my friends 360 and it had good graphics. But they werent quite as beautiful as Uncharted.

If the most hyped Xbox 360 game graphics wise cant even match up to an already released PS3 game the 360 is in big trouble.

Edit: If you have seen my previous thread you would have seen how Gears of war 2 doesnt really look better than Gears 1. I think it should be called Gears 1.5 as faras graphics are concerned. Gameplay does look better however.

A good few people debate whether Uncharted looks better than Gears 1. :? They're both incredible looking games, and as such i think its impossible to say one is better than the other. It's just a matter of what appeals to you most.

I expect Gears 2 to look better than Gears 1 however, albeit slightly.

Honestly, I've never seen a 360 game with better graphics than a PS3 game.

Before the 360 owners flame me, remember, I've never seen a 360 game w/ better graphics than a PS3 game. I'm not saying there isn't one out there, but if there is, I've never seen it. :P

BTW, yes I agree that Uncharted looks way better than Gears 2

lets wait to Gears 2 hit the shelves

Uncharted is right now the console graphics king IMO, though

Nah. Uncharted is a good looking time, but it's starting to show its age and really can't compete with the advancements of the UE3 in Gears 2.BioShockOwnz

I've played both over the last month.

This has already been discussed in SW many, many times.

I will save you the 6000 page thread, UNCHARTED WON.

Many are saying that GeoW2 will take that crown back though(if MGS4 didn't take it, according to GS.)

Ah well no ****! You're ****in' brilliant, you know that?!

Judging from the Gears 2 screens and vids I've seen, I think Uncharted looks better. Having played Uncharted before and seeing lots of Gears 2 pics and vids, I think that Uncharted looks better.

So, again, as I stated before, I think Uncharted looks better than Gears 2.

no, i play uncharted and even gears 1 looks better

but overall in gameplay uncharted is better game imo

Its a matter of taste that you think Uncharted graphic > Gears 2 graphics. Technically Gears 2 more going for it. Better physics engine. Ability to render an insane number of objects on screen. Uncharted as like 2 enemies on screen, Gears 2 can render 100+ enemies at the same time. Gears 2 traded higher resolution textures for more game play improvements, bigger environments, more enemies, more details on screen. And it still looks improved.

You can't judge it by videos. Until you play and beat the game, you can't compare the games.I plan on buying GeoW2 at launch, so I'll let you know if it beats Uncharted or GeoW1.

In the meantime, vids don't mean jacksquat.

I was simply pointing out the fact that the game is not out yet, and therefore it is both futile and incorrect to make comparisons between it and an already existing game. We haven't really seen any extended footage of Gears 2 at all, other than the fairly brief campaign demo given at E3.

Uncharted and Gears 1 were very similar in terms of graphical quality. With all the improvements made to UE3, i really doubt Gears 2 wont look better, but i'll hold my judgement until the game is out and i'm in a reasonable position to make one. ;)

Nisim19

you cant even compare the two games. Gears is a shooter uncharted is an adventure game with shooting elements that borrowed the cover system from gears.

Sony fanboys - "Uncharted looks better!"

Microsoft fanboys - "Gears of War 2 looks better!"

If there is one constant about System Wars, it's biased opinions.

I, personally, think they both look good. Graphics don't matter to me. Only fun does.

Well i think gears 2 looks better...or... let's pic some

I say it's a tie :D

Gameplay vids don't mean anything? Really? Actual gameplay vids of an unrelased game can't be compared to an already relased game's graphics? Hey, you may be right. Maybe the final product of Gears 2 will blow Uncharted's graphics out of the water, but for the time being, Uncharted graphics > Gears 2 graphics.

He's just saying that a game will always look and run better on your TV, as the finished version, than it does on your browser on gametrailers.com for two minutes tops. :?

It's all i was saying too; it's pointless to compare a game to a handful of screenshots.

Wrong, This was already discussed by more than COWS and LEMMINGS. Hermits, Sheep, and Manticores got in on the action. There were plenty of threads, but one in particular was gigantic. It was already talked about to death.If you didn't care, you wouldn't really have posted, but I think you haven't played and beaten one of the games, so you threw out a comment. Do you even have a good HDTV? Wait, do you even have a PS3? There is an answer.

Yeah, it's not finished, and we can't see everything in the game. Games really do look different than screens and vids too, sometimes the vids are recorded in regular video as well...or they are cut scenes.

Uncharted, Killzone 2 & maybe Reistance 2 look better than Gears 2 IMO

I might still get it though, if M$ actually return my 360 from the repair centre this time

Let me see if I understand this - I'm wrong that graphics personally don't matter to me? Is that it? So you are trying to say that my personal opinion is invalid and that I do definitely care about graphics?

Well if that's the case, and I do care about graphics, then why do I play a Wii so often? Hmmmm....

And the reason I posted is because I think that this fanboy bantering about graphics when both games look equally good is pointless. And I'm free to voice my opinion on the matter, despite what you may think.

You never even beat Uncharted. Got it. You don't have a PS3, got it.

If you played and beat Both games, and you though GeoW looked better that's fine, but you didn't.

Anyways, You can have an opinion about how looking at graphics is lame. That's fine, but saying that there can't be ONE game over another is wrong. One looks better than the other...which one looks better is varied by User.

You missed an EPIC thread about this topic, what can I say.

This thread is a waste of time. Its just full of people stating their opinions and doing nothing to test or back up their claims. No screenshot comparisons or responses to any real claims (6 posts debating whether you can compare gameplay videos and a real game shows how off topic this thread is). Im only lvl 2 so I cant post images, hopefully someone else will take up that part.

I think its hard to argue that Uncharted colors > Gears 2 colors, because thats really subjective. So scratch that comparison.

Compare

character models

Environment details

Lighting

Textures

that should decide who the real winner is.

Why don't you dig around for the THREADS that already did this in 2007. You will find what you need, since your so new.

Hmmm, you're clearly just looking to bash Gears 2, but okay, I'll bite. I do agree that Uncharted does look like it stands up to Gears 2... but I wouldn't go so far as to say it looks better. I think it really depends on what type of environment you prefer as a gamer... the thing I can easily say I like better about Uncharted is the lush color pallette of the jungle.

As far as graphical muscle, I really don't know... I've compared vids and to me it looks like Epic basically brought Gears 2 to the point that it at least matched Uncharted. Much better lighting is really the main upgrade to me. I hear there are other subtle differences which stand out when you actually play the game though... I just can't tell from looking at it.

Yes, I haven't played Uncharted. I also haven't played Gears of War 2. I am basing it completely on the screen shots available for both games. And you know something? I think both games look great but they use different graphical $tyles and they are strong in their own right. Gears 2 has a more raw, rough look (just like war movies) and Uncharted has a more colorful palet because it takes place in jungles, and is an adventure game. It's not a war game. And this is my personal opinion. It has nothing to do with fact.

And I personally don't care what you may think about it. There is nothing wrong with saying both games look good. Got it?

Who cares, Resident Evil 5 looks better than both.-DrRobotnik-

Who cares, Heavy rain looks better than both

*runs over the hills* :lol: :P

Who cares, Resident Evil 5 looks better than both.-DrRobotnik-

I agree, but RE5 also has it's own weaknesses... the fidelity of the graphics look better, but at the cost of having a much more constricted view of the gaming environment.

I am not even talking about Gears 2, this has been about GeoW vs. Uncharted.

No one has played GeoW2, that's not even up for debate. I think Geow2 will probably be the new Graphics King, but who knows, Until it's out, it's impossible to say. It's also possible, it will be a slight upgrade visually from GeoW.

Screens never do any game true justice.

heh, you are a bright one, aren't you? If you read the first post in this thread by the TC you would realize that this thread was originally NOT meant to be about GeoW vs. Uncharted. He made a statement about how Gears 2 looks compared to Uncharted. And that is what I was directly commenting on. Not Gears vs. Uncharted. Next time, read a few posts in a thread before you jump down somebody's throat for no reason. Here is what the TC said:

Anybody who has played Uncharted knows this. I watched Gears of war 2 footage on my friends 360 and it had good graphics. But they werent quite as beautiful as Uncharted.

yup your right. Let me throw my 360 out the room and buy a PS3.too_much_eslim

Good for you8)

Uncharted is a very beautiful game.With the waterfalls and the lush green forests.Gears 2 is a nice game but its very life less.Its dull with gray walls and open lands only filled with rocks.

Hell even Heavenly Sword looks better than gears.

No, your the bright one. You see, I already commented about this to the TC, telling him that his post was flatout wrong.

Furthermore, I said, GeoW to you mentioning Old threads, I never said GeoW2.

How the heck can anyone know if GeoW2 is graphics king, it's not out.

If you are going to read the thread, you may want to read more than just the first post, lol.
