GDC '08: LucasArts prioritizing PS3, Unleashing Force

How long did it take you to find those isolated textures Mikewarrior? Textures that aren't even meant to be detailed? It's clear those shots were taken from the edges of the maps where devs usually use less detail cause no one ever sees unless they specifically go there, for no reason other then trolling. I can find PLENTY of those in Halo 3 as well.

Second of whole your way way WAY closer on the Uncharted pic then on the Halo one.

Period.

Check out the word "depth of field" in your basic photography book. In the first picture, the focus is the fern while in the second picture, the focus is the foreground (the shot of the land). It wouldn't make sense for the 2nd picture to have clarity on every single object.

Not true at all - The fern is right next to the character & the character in Uncharted is the focus in a 3rd person game… The ground looks good because it’s further away but if you could get close using the camera system (You can't in Uncharted) you wouldn't see it looking so good.

Assuming you're supposed to be the invisible character who follows Drake around, do you walk while watching his sexy back or do you look forward to see what's in front of you?
 
The damage control in this thread while predictable, is also very amusing.

And PS3 fanboys are assumed worst in cases like this?

The xtards have reached a new, pathetic level.

You'd imagine that they would've slowed down a bit after a previous incident where a developer of the actual game in question slapped them to the floor, but no, they just keep on going.

Please, carry on!

:lol
 
Okay. So after the 56k death mania of mania action, we've established that Uncharted looks million times better than Halo 3. Now what?
 
Mikewarrior said:
lol, I can't even tell what that is. I'm sure the camera is much, much closer to that object than what I can do in Uncharted.:lol

Any FPS staring at the ground makes textures look bad, but so does a plant brushing past the camera in a TPS. What was the point of all this trolling anyhow? Do you own both games or just dredge up SS to try and prove the impossible?

Chances are, he doesn't own either.

To be fair, most of the rampant dumbtardery seems to come courtesy of a few select dunderheads. But yeah, it reeks of IGN board rejects or some shit in here.

As said, you're a fucking idiot. And whereas you were once somewhat of an amusing distraction, at this point you're just sad.

Actually, Uncharted has one of the most realistic, organic worlds ever featured in a video game. The characters aren't spot-on with reality, as they're comic book style/pulp adventure novel archetypes.

Hrmmm. I think your stand up routine isn't working here. I'll give you some small credit for trying but if anything, Halo does more plastic. But continue on with your arguement.

Please stop posting Uncharted screens, you're making my 360 jealous :(

Not like the 360 could not do something close. It is all about the developer. Sony first and second party are just much better because of spending over a decade coding to the metal. If you put Sony first or second party on the 360 you would get the best looking 360 game to date. Look at the 360 the best looking games are either multiplatform or games based on a generic engine not even designed around the 360.

How about a Halo 3 pic not in photo mode or down sampled to 800x450 to hide the hideous aliasing?


800x450? That's not even high definition. He should at least post a native 720p screen from Halo 3.

You mean just like your Halo 3 one was much much farther away?

O yes, Sony first and second party developers are magic. :D
 
Mikewarrior said:

No, is that 720x1280? No, it's a down sampled photo mode pic. It's a bullshot.

I found them at Gamespot (link in post above). That's what the game looks like in real life, not your twisted reality.
 
Mikewarrior said:
That's like saying - Why hasn't the Ps3 done a FPS that looks as good as Bioshock.

Bioshock has nice art direction, but it's standard UE3 graphics. If you played any of the Necris levels in UT3 you will see that it's not hard to match Bioshock. The UT3 levels are also many times larger and still maintain 30fps.
 
Mikewarrior said:
It still represents that games graphics even though it lessens the jaggies around them.

Wow, that logic works for you, really? I pointed you too many real pics, why not show us some? Coward?

I wonder if these are "close" enough...

If not I can always go take more.


*shesh*...

It's a good thing you won't last long here Mikewarrior...

So why hasn't it?

"Lazy developers" only goes so far. I'm pretty sure Epic would take issue with you calling them lazy.

Was the UE3 engine built from the ground up around the 360? No it is a PC engine shoe horned into running on the 360 and PS3. The are not lazy just being smart as long as UE3 can keep up with other multiplatform games it is all good. Sony first and second party are technical masters I will be the first to admit that. Look what they were able to pull off on the PS1 and PS2 amazing. MS just does not have any studios that have a decade of experience coding to the metal getting every thing they can out of a machine then some like sony does. Last gen the xbox was so much more powerfull that they could put in any sort of effort and out do PS2 games. This time around the systems are very close and the difference is what developer can push the envelope more.

The screen shot war is pretty amusing lol.
