[QUOTE="AIH_PSP"]Because there are more 360 fanboys on here that think their systems exclusives are "teh bestest gamez wit da graphpixxz xtreme". 360 fanboys, take a long, hard look at this in game Uncharted image and tell me that your Mass Effect looks better.



Sorry if the image is squished or skewed, it's Gamespot, not me.Frostbite24

Looked at it long and hard and guess what? Mass Effect pwns this game. Call me a liar!

You are. Mass Effect environments are low-res with poor textures

KOTOR 1, done by Bioware. KOTOR 2, not done by Bioware. Guess which of the two KOTORs is better??Demetri_OS

Obsidian's KOTOR 2, actually. Just like Obsidian's NWN 2 was better than NWN.

Feel free to disagree with me, of course, but I don't think that either series has a clear winner.

There is a clear winner and it's Baldur's Gate :)

So basically most of Uncharted's hype is for it's graphics?? Sheesh, I thought cows would learn by now not to hype a game for graphics. *If system wars had a nickel for everytime that's been said....it would be a very not poor person*

Advertising. Uncharted has only been advertised this last year. Mass Effect has been advertised since 2005.

Correct me if I'm wrong about Uncharted's Unvealing date.

lafigueroa

Very true. The fact that Bioware is behind ME does play into effect to those familiar with KOTOR and Jade Empire. But we'll see. Naughty Dog is a good developer and shouldn't disappoint those who buy Uncharted.

[QUOTE="Tnasty11"]

there both are New IP's

They both willbe AwesomeGames

so WHY?

too_much_eslim

One has been announced to have the best story ever, will give you the most immersive experience,and has the best graphics for any game coming out this year console wise, and the other just looks really good and fun, but the gunplay is awkward. Also it does help that Bioware is behind it. It has fans from xbox and PC users. Naughty Dog has the fans ofPS only. Both game will be great, but Mass Effect will be the better buy no matter how you cut it.

I honestly thought you had that reversed.

Uncharted is the one with the graphics. Mass Effect is guaranteed to have framerate issues and texture pop-ins. Also the gunplay in Mass Effect is the weak point there. That's all the press demo consisted of, and it wasn't anything special.

Mass Effect will be a better game though, just because it's non-linear and a lot longer. Production values, story and setting I'd say they are even.

Expect ME to outscore Uncharted by 1.5-2.0 points here on GS.

To put it simply. Games like Uncharted come out ever few months. Fun, linear action games that you will enjoy but soon forget. Game like Mass Effect come out once or twice every generation and if it's anything like KOTOR or Baldur's Gate it should be talked about and remembered for many years to come.

Doesn't sound like GameInformer agrees: "One of the greatest science fiction stories ever told, and a new benchmark for video game storytelling."

See here is the funny thing. People on Neogaf who actually played the games only experienced minor framerate issues nothing else. Also the gam eis the best looking game coming out this year on consoles base on how opened, varied and detail the envirnoments are going along with the great character models.

I thought the critiscm of Mass Effect's graphics stemmed from its shiny characters not its "bland" enviromnments. I can't recall seeing any screens where the environments looked poor. But I do have to admit typically when I am looking at a ME image im marveling at the depth and emotions displayed on the faces. One last thing, In the image posted of Uncharted, doesn't it bother you that two of the enemies are identical? I don't get why games don't begin using a random clothing generator for enemies or something. Thats a complaint I have about most games, not just uncharted.

Funny thing you mentioned that about how everyone looks the same. That is not the case for MAss Effect. The gamers over at Neogaf confirmed this.

"Why do Mass Effect have more hype than Uncharted?"

Its pretty simple. The 360 have been pouring out AAAE and AAE consistently since launch while not so much for the PS3. Every exclusive PS3 game release since its launched hasn't lived up to the hype. So as time went by, Cows game hyping confidence got lower and lower. I could've swore they hyped Uncharted to be AAA, but since the consistent flops, Cows lowered it to AA to be on the safe side.

As has been stated many times in this thread, BioWare. They've probably won atleast 100 GOTY awards for their games, thats why.

People have higher expectations since their previous games have for the most part been very well received, many of them becoming cl@ssics. Naughty Dog has made some great games, too, but they aren't as highly regarded by the gaming community.

It's actually far more simple than that.

Gamespot "hype threads" do not measure, at all, how excited the owners of console X are for game Y. They are simply a measure of what people expect Gamespot to rate it, and with the Aaron Thomas double-tap of Heavenly Sword and R&C, nobody expects much from GS reviews.

there both are New IP's

They both will be Awesome Games

so WHY?

Tnasty11

because bioware made it. dozens of planets to go to. 15 movies worth of dialogue. great gameplay. great replayability. very long.

uncharted.- great graphics. good looking story. kinda short.

[QUOTE="Demetri_OS"]KOTOR 1, done by Bioware. KOTOR 2, not done by Bioware. Guess which of the two KOTORs is better??TiberiusKane

Obsidian's KOTOR 2, actually. Just like Obsidian's NWN 2 was better than NWN.

Feel free to disagree with me, of course, but I don't think that either series has a clear winner.

There is a clear winner and it's Baldur's Gate :)

No, its Baldur's Gate 2 ;)

I'm guessing you don't know that the GS review of Heavenly Sword is 1% less than the gamerankings average.

KOTOR? Baldur's Gate? Jade Empire? Neverwinter Nights? Is any of this getting to you?

i haven't played those games

If you had played them, then you wouldn't have made this thread.

Since you havn't played the games, check around and you will be able to confirm that Bioware games are head and shoulders above competetors. They raise the industry's bar with each new game released.

Naughty Dog has made some good to great games. Bioware has made several of the best games of all time. Look for Mass Effect when the GOTY nominations start rolling around.

Because there are more 360 fanboys on here that think their systems exclusives are "teh bestest gamez wit da graphpixxz xtreme". 360 fanboys, take a long, hard look at this in game Uncharted image and tell me that your Mass Effect looks better.

so WHY?

Like others before me, I'll go ahead and say because of Bioware. They are the best RPG developer of the the past two generations. That's not even an opinion, its an empirical fact, if you check gamerankings you'll see their games consistently near the top of the RPG genre (higher than even Square).

If you wanna think that way.

Halo: One planet
Ratchet and Clank: The whole universe

halo is more than one planet... 7 halos and earth. space ships.

It's not going to be 100 hours long. 40 at the most, probably.

no. they've got testers that have been playing over 100 hrs and still not finished

The main quest is about 30-40 hrs long. To do every single thing will take up to 70 hours.

That surprises me. As far as I'm aware, Bioware have never made a game that long.

Bioware has a different kind of more radical following than Naughty Dog.
Bioware fanboys would do anything for Mass Effect or any Bioware project. They're one of THE developers on the Xbox. Naughty Dog is just a good developer with two successful franchises under it's belt. Bioware is just more important to a more popular console. Sony could kill ND and not take a super heavy backlash. If MS killed Bioware, Cthulu would rein down on the internet in search for BLOOD.

if you dont' know anything about bioware, then you shouldn't be making this topic

do some research before going out on a limb and asking such a question

the fact that you didn't bother looking up bioware and why they are great shows that you made no effort to answer your question before posting it.....therefore this topic is borderline spam

wow.. that's like asking why Shakespeare is better than Anne Rice.

One game has massive depth and terrific story with character customization and RP aspects and promises 100+ hours of play with all sidequests. the other is 6-10 hours long, no character customization, no depth that i can see and a flimsy indiane jones-ish story.

3picuri3
I hate to break it to you, but mass effect is not a long game. And when they say you can "explore" the planets, they are using the term "explore" loosely. People keep saying Bioware is a great developer, which I am not arguing they aren't, but does anybody remember Jade Empire? It was a pretty disappointing game IMO. Naughty Dog has a very consistent track record of great games, and after playing the demo (multiple times) they have definitely kept up the same level of quality. And please stop saying it's a Tomb Raider knock off, because the games have completely different play-styles. I think uncharted isn't getting the hype it deserves, but we'll find out when the reviews come out.

My exact words. Quoted For Truth.

Sure Uncharted might look good, but it would be just another platform game like Tomb Raider, etc. While Mass Effect will be one of the most epic RPGs around. Besides Mass Effect gameplay value will outlast Uncharted guaranteed!

did you Lemmings get a Demo of ME? I mean, if you didn't, which I don't know, how could you even talk about gameplay?
