Junior is correct.

Uncharted 1 looks fabulous, but it's not the best looking game out there.
I loved the game and it DOES still look good, but there are tons of areas that they needed to improve. Judging by what the Game Informer stuff said, they're trying to do that, but it was far from perfect on many issues across the board.

The main problem is PS3 owners were hoping desperately for any game to be their salvation to salvage their dying system and Uncharted was the perfect lubricant that allowed that to happen.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good game, but it had a handful of issues and it was way too damn short and a very simple game.

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.

:lol

 

[LCGeek]

If you talked to me 2 years ago I would be jumping up and down over the technology video they released. I had to spend 700 because my case wouldnt fit all my new gear, so yeah I guess it was around 550 also

I do get around 25-30 FPS with the CCC+ mod which I think improves the visuals by a landslide. On the downside I have a 19" monitor and it didnt have Anti-Aliasing on.

I dont think I'll be able to play Crysis with AAx4 and a full resolution with my 24" for quite some time.

I'm in the same boat but I enjoy crysis gameplay immensely seeing as how I can't crank my system like I thought I could at this point. Was a bit pissed I couldn't build the system I wanted to this year, but seeing the new benchmark for intels new core give me up that when I do correct my pc tech time again this and a lot of things will be highly playable at the res and fps I want with no hitches.

Hmmm...

I disagree.

I am convinced that Uncharted is one of those games that screen shots do not do it justice. It looks so so much better in real life on your tv.

LOL @ people using those bullshit PC games in their argument. Fuck Crysis. WHo the fuck even played that game? PC gaming is laughable. On top of that it's a fucking PC, a fucking computer literally. IT BETTER have the best looking games that's the least it can do.

But anyway consoles >>>>>> PC's for gaming period. PC's should no longer be in the discussion of games because it's a stagnant format for gaming. Meh Meh and Meh.

Sony should get these 2 actors to play a role in the game... and it would sell quite a lot in India:

This is like the first game I think actually looks better than the concept art.

I went AMD for once and I am stuck between going to those i7 chips or upgrading my AMD X2 in the future. Now if only I could get these annoying blue LED lights off my computer case now, I would sleep better at night

And now if I could enjoy uncharted in all its glory HD by buying an HDTV. poor me

The effort is so coordinated throughout PS3 AAA title threads that I figure there must actually be some organized movement motivating these posters.. Look at Uncharted, Killzone 2, LBP amongst many.. too many.

 

[kiUNiT]

Am I the only one thinking that the texture work is way beyond better than anything we have seen from the PS3?

No I agree, some of the best textures so far this gen IMHO. I did'nt feel the love for the first one, but these screens are making me want this one.

 

[Firewire]

Barrellama is not pleaded.

I think this is a much over looked thought about Uncharted 2.

I wonder how much will install to the HDD, and what size Blu-Ray disc they are using. If anything, that is going help with what with you said kiUNiT

I doubt it'll have an install, just a rather lengthy initial load like Drake's Fortune. Killzone isn't going to have an install either.

No installs, and no load times (except for the initial load time)

ND hides their load times with cutscenes.

My thoughts, at least on the HDD part. Uncharted 1 didn't have disk installs, KZ2 already said they were not going to have disk installs, Maybe they will, maybe they wont, but UC depends on streaming textures, seeing those two games, I don't think they will have an install.

Edit: Beaten

 

[Surfheart]

Looks ok I guess.

WTF LOOKS FUKEN AMAZING!!!!

 

[Buckethead]

The PS3 was dead in the water before Uncharted. Then after it, a lot of great games came out and started to turn around. It's a completely fair statement.

i've been gaming since the days of the C64 and uncharted is prob the single BESt game i've played , of it's type.

Yes, I'm not disputing this fact.

What I'm saying it's a pretty simple game, it was allowed to bring great visuals out of the gate. The most people you saw on screen was what? 5-6? So, given the fact that it was simple in comparison to very intense firefights, rocket battles, weather patterns, apocalpyic warzones with tons of pieces of garbage, destroyed buildings etc., it could have looked better. Enter Uncharted 2.


My point about Tomb Raider wasn't saying "man Uncharted is unoriginal, etc." rather it had a good base to draw off of with the influences from Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones so the art style wasn't a large stretch.

It had some great graphics, certainly, but also lacked in many areas visually. I mentioned in prior threads that on the technical (artistic) side it needed to employ subsurface scattering for more luminous facial features, plant life, etc. There was some fabulous textures but the character models lacked the most of all due to these subleties not being in place. Also the characters went "off model" during the cutscenes multiple time with unrealistic use of the brows for emotion, etc. So there's a handful of very fair things to gripe about.

So: it looked great and it's an awesome game (quit painting me to be a hater) and did have some amazing stuff like you said, but as a whole package it was not the best graphically for this very reason. My argument was not about the quality of the game in general which indeed is AAA, rather about it's graphics and presentation. So when someone says "this is the best looking game ever", I think it's more than fair to point to all of it's faults.

Jeez, touchy fuckers around here. Let me order you a cranberry juice. :lol

 

[Firewire]

Who the fuck cares! If an install stops someone from playing the game it's their loss.

 

[iDoubleSpy]

I'm glad everyone sparked interest in HDD topic

I don't care if it used 10MB or 10GB, or like you all think will be the case, none.

I am interested in how much space they are using on the Blu-Ray disc though.

It's obvious after playing that POS called MGS4 why Kojima Productions used all the disc, will Naughty Dog do the same?

 

[jts]

The graphics were good but not the best i've seen on PS3. Everything had a layer of vaseline over it, and the colours were off. I was not wowed by it. MGS4 on the other hand

...was fully done in shades of brown and grey and had bloom, thus it was RLY next-gen amirite?

And no, the vaseline layer criticism doesn't really apply to Uncharted.

 

[CryptiK]

Is that distance blur to good to be true?

and finally a Colourful shooter can't wait to play it I have to pic up a copy of Uncharted 1 first I rented it and it was great

 

[Raistlin]

Come now, you know you've never believed that.

Yeah ... I wonder, do they actually PM each other to coordinate?

Oh wait, they chat over Live.

 

[EagleEyes]

Screens look fantastic. Unfotunately it's ND we're talking about here and in motion we'll get the horrible screen tearing as usual. Everyone of there games including the Jak series on PS2 have had serious vsync issues. I'll keep my fingers crossed that this time hopefully they take care of this problem. It will still be Day 1 regardless.

[patsu]

Blah

Having a small flaw like SSS does not mean Uncharted cannot be #1. Very few games do it correctly anyway. For those that approximated SSS, it doesn't mean they will be perfect either. Every game has their own flaws.

Besides highly detailed textures, Uncharted also sports very smooth shadow. It has quite a few innovations (e.g., introducing nuances into animation). The ocean scene was breath taking. At the end of the day, everyone will have his own #1 game since there is no objective way to measure it. So it's point less to argue either way.

Uncharted does have excellent enemy AI and DTS audio. It was one of the rare games that has the complete package.

Uncharted doesn't have horrible screen tearing though i admit it features some, esp when you mess around with the camera in a freshly loaded location with a good amount of geometry. I believe it's a consequence of ND's games pushing the envelope so much so there's nothing unfortunate about it.

 

[aerts1js]

I'm late, but WOW @ those screens. I need to get a ps3 so I can play this series.

 

[jts]

Lick my hairy sac.

u should shave. it just feels rght

 

[DoomGyver]

GAF, why do we always have to compare, bitch, and moan about everything?

Good gracious, the game looks incredible and I'm sure it will play as good as the first.. can we leave it at that?

 

[iDoubleSpy]

Lick my hairy sac.

I was a huge Metal Gear Solid fan until that game came out...

Seeing as I know how hard it is to argue a point with a MGS fan (since I was one) I will just say people are still hazed about how "good" of a game it was, regardless of how much it didn't fit with the rest of the series...

Act 1, Act 2, Act 3, and Act 5 being the primary suspects.

My opinions match the exact same as Zero Punctuations video review.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/99-Metal-Gear-Solid-4

At this point, I'd rather play Uncharted on Brutal with 1 hand behind my back before I got back to MGS4

Yeah the pics are awesome.
