So ridiculous. Somebody sounds scared :lol
is this real-time rendered? as in are these shots rendered at some insane rez internally with all manner of filters applied by the ps3 and then downscaled and outputted? you can do something similar with crysis and get some really insane graphics but its not a real indication of how the end game will actually look. the tactic is probably as cheap was cg rendering an image and calling it in-game. now the game won't look any less detailed than that but don't expect the ultra high clarity and fidelity of these images in the final product.

I think Sony needs to bring back the 40GB and make it 300 bucks.
Wait...
Is this Uncharted or Uncharted 2?

It was rendered at a higher res, and then downscaled (the pics were meant for magazine usage - which requires the higher image quality or it won't print right).
However, there was nothing else added. The models, textures, lighting, DOF, etc. are all from the currently running engine.

Thats the 360 HDD
Honestly though, I don't think we will see a price cut until either the system is doing poorly, or x-mas of 09. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it came sooner seeing how much Sony is backing games like Heavy Rain and Uncharted 2.
Also the 40GB had only 3 USB and no Wi-Fi. I'm sure if they take out those things and the ability to play PS1 and PS2 games they could shave down the price. Sure they would still be losing money, but it would benefit them in the long run to have a larger install base.

"OH MY GOD....Taz did you see that? No one read Buckethead's posts."
Seriously. People are making me out to be some crazy troll, but all I was saying (as evidenced by my post 1 page back) was that I don't think that Uncharted 1 is the best looking game ever and think visually it was lacking in a bunch of areas. I don't see this as a problem as Uncharted 2 looks incredible and NG has talked about working on a bunch of issues that **ironically** I have brought up times before and not just today. (Subsurface scattering, occlusion tech, deeper shadows, to mention a few)
So if I think they have these issues to work on, I'm a troll.....
But if Naughty Dog thinks they had to work on them....that's okay?
Fucking unbelievable.

I'm pretty sure the 40GB had WiFi. IIRC, only the original 20GB lacked it.
PS2 is already cut out, and PS1 costs them nothing (it fully SW-based).
Regardless, it seems quite obvious that Sony is trying to make a profit, not win the console war this gen. If that means selling less units, but not taking a loss ... that's probably what they'll do.
I don't see them dropping the price until they can get costs down.

Stating that Uncharted is Tomb Raider is a troll. Sorry.

I didn't follow the other thread on the game, but I heard somewhere that they were adding stealth elements somewhere. Can anybody confirm? Or preferably confirm the contrary... I hate stealth games.
Yes its in but its optional
This thread is just :lol :lol :lol anyways...
I just got the newest Game Informer, same shots there, which are very nice looking but leave me a bit bored. I'm more excited about what I read about the graphics, some of the technical visual stuff they're going to be doing in the game SOUNDS amazing (can't wait to see those parts in motion), they talked about SSS for the ice effects, ambient occlusion, and all sorts of other techniques.
I really liked the first Uncharted, but I wasn't hyped for that one at all until I played the full game (even the demo didn't do it for me).

I later clarified my point, stating that it had a wealth of inspiration to draw from not just TR but also Indy and Romancing the Stone. The point was that Uncharted and Tomb Raider are similar in structure (explore, small firefight, vehicle section, explore, small firefight, boss, etc.), so they could beef up the visuals because it's not like they're using all the processing power on 20 guys on screen or huge explosions due to 8v8 multiplayer rocket battles, etc.
They had a lot of focus on the environment and for the most part, it was focus well spent, but given the power of the Cell processor at their disposal, I felt that they missed the mark in a couple areas. Don't tell me you think the water looks good in the opening scene, for example.
The comparison (and all other comments) were used for the discussion of it being "the best looking game ever" and me disagreeing. But alas, I guess I'll pretend I agree because I'm clearly never going to win this argument with everyone so firmly attached to the tit of the first game.

Stealth is optional
Like most games stealth would probably be your best bet unless you wanna get killed over and over.

I started to phase out that useless information when I had to dedicate myself things other then games
Onix said:
While that's true the bigger question is not is it real time but if it's in game which knowing UC history it's not. UC for the record is one of the few games in game cinematics are close to gameplay outside of shadowing and lighting. Onix do you know if ND is documenting what the engine is doing again for public consumption of information?

I cant agree more. Underworld lacked in so many different areas that it shows you cant keep teaching an old dog new tricks. I felt so dirty while playing Underworld its like that motto,
fun to fuck a fat chick till your friends find out.
thats how I felt from start to end.
well, that was a good first day at NeoGAF, goodnight all

It wasn't a discussion about the game overall or gameplay, it was about graphics. But yes, you are right. Much better.

It was a "Joey Styles" reference.

When you throw out a statement like, "Basically, it had been done before. It was called Tomb Raider. Sure, this is detracting from the strengths of the game, but we must be objective here and not see things through fanboyishly rose-colored glasses.", It's easy to assume you are talking about it in general (in a trolling fashion).
To assume you're talking about the graphics doesn't even sound like a troll, since it's so nonsensical.
