Uncharted 2 direct feed screens

Just amazing looking, and I don't think they're bullshots.... just good use of depth of field and other effects to cover up aliasing.

I can see some aliasing in that last shot where the neck meets the shirt. Doesn't look like a high-res picture scaled down at all. There's a lot of compression on these shots, so it probably looks a bit sharper too.

Looks stunning...................

Are these pics of a city in italy?

Not at all. Some latin country for sure tho. There is an "Hotel El Dorado" sign.

in other news: they need to turn the DoF a bit down, looks a bit too much. That aside, it's absolutely faptastic!

Maybe a bit, but I'm glad it's there. Sometimes the first game bordered on being too detailed at further ranges (like GoW imo). While it looks technically impressive, it's also a bit unnatural.

Wow! Looks like no more plastic plant jungles, guess Naughty Dog saw Crysis and realized they couldn't approach that level of realistic vegetation.

Ooh, elegant trolling...I like it.

Ok wow.
Now I can say this looks better than Uncharted. Just the teaser in the snow from Sony couldn't tell jack shit about the level of detail.

Now in the city the detail is AMAZING. My freaking god. It's like I could detach every single god damned bricks. Wow.

I think I give up. Pixar could have rendered something amazing, slapped "Uncharted 2" on it, and people would still eat it up.

I'm not going to take shit because I own Uncharted, which has borderline perfect shadows in-game.
They are far from perfect (no shadows will be this generation), and the shadows in these shots are mind blowing.

TTP said:
whatever. we are not talking Codemasters or Ubisoft bullshots here. Resistance 2 looks about as good as in those early pics. Actually, the chimera look significantly better.
Except they forgot to add the lighting, shadows and geomotry.

I still remember how the first Uncharted improved over the months! To think that Uncharted 2 is about a year away .... :fear:

no, no it doesn't. hell the artstyle didn't even match that.

I have a simple question: Have you played Uncharted 1?

This is Naughty Gods we're talking about now!
People said the same thing when questioning the R2 bullshots

right, but unlike R2 Uncharted actually got much better looking over time

i'm going to say ND aren't BSing. God knows what unspeakable things they did to PS2 hardware.

Me either one thing for sure is they are both the best looking things hands down I have ever seen.

I have played Crysis and I thought Uncharted's Jungle was phenomenally realized.

Jizz in my pants :D

Looks like K2 has some competition...
(and btw, I don't care, both look amazing and I'm getting them both)

Not really. You don't seem to have played the game. There are areas that look worse for sure, but other are pretty much identical if not better.

Jesus dude... will you shut the fuck up already?

People trust Naught Dog because they always deliver; they have a proven track record. I don't even know what the hell you're trying to accomplish that you have to "give up". You've been arguing the most inane shit since yesterday... seriously... it's like you're hung up on pointless fucking semantics.

Oh... but it's not actually Realtime™

Whatever. :lol

Oh relax.

My only worry is how they'll handle traversing such an uneven environment.
If you look at games like Gears and take away all of the textures, it's just boxes in a room, really.

R2 has some levels that have amazing lighting. The only problem is that it's not always consistent.

Something tells me you haven't played the game.

R2 looks like the "bullshots" except for the overall clean look of them. Lots of AA and AF in those and Quincunx in the final product tends to blur a bit more.

I think at the time R2 generated those screenshots with the engine but couldn't get them running in real-time yet.

I have no doubt Uncharted 2 will look like what you guys are seeing in this thread. I just really really really hope this time there's no tearing.
