This game is ****ing ridiculously gorgeous and my mind exploded.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

Lame picture but could this mean interactive environments? I hope so

This game is ****ing ridiculously gorgeous and my mind exploded.

I'm really glad they replaced the shirt of the main character with something more ''jungly'' It kind of reminds me of Indy's clothes somehow

But yeah, it looks pretty awesome

Also, the guy's face has definately improved too, he doesn't have that ''huh?''-look anymore and he looks a bit more badass now.

 

[Holtz]

Good job.
This game looks ****ing great.

Yeah, he used to look like

and now he's awesome.

I hope they tone the dynamic lighting down a little cause right now its wayyy overdone. Its like a ****ing sun in his gun, I mean how crazily its effecting the environment

 

[cank stoochie]

OKAY NOW I'M IMPRESSED

tsktsk we need to see it in motion first!



(But yea, it need more sparks)

 

[bud]

yeah uhuh

 

[nelsonroyale]

the lighting is very impressive

peace

 

[Stealth]

Wow, it's amazing what a little AA can do to a picture. Naughty Dog has their **** together on this game. The geometry of the environment is unbelievable.

GI gets some good exclusives.

Heh. It's to be expected given the circumstances.

I didn't realize this game was coming in 2k7. I didn't know DMC4 was coming in 2k7 either. I'm actually starting to think that Sony could do it again; this trend (?) is almost identical to the PS2's (and the PS1's, but the PS1 took even longer to build steam.) Like most people, I am very curious as to how this generation will pan out and annoucements/games/news like this keeps that curiousity peaked.

EDIT: 1.5kb/s -- dialup says, "Hey, what's up? Remember me?"

No I don't and I never want to.
Seriously if you are into games enough to post on GAF and you only have dial-up then you should just kill yourself.

oh.my.god... detractors am effing OWNED. :lol

 

[bud]

Look at this:

http://generationdreamteam.free.fr/afrika/Uncharted/nd7.gif[IMG][/QUOTE]

Why are guys even doubting ND's graphical capabilities!?

it looks even better in motion...

 

[TTP]

No way that's going to run at 60fps. If it does I'll implode. Geez cant wait to see this in motion.

 

[pswii60]

I don't get why everyone is so impressed by the screens?! I'm desperately trying my hardest to see it... but I don't.

Technically very average. Art-wise, very good. But nothing mindblowing.

Seriously, Ratchet & Clank will spunk all over this.

EDIT: Not at all doubting that it'll be a great game, and at least it ain't f*ing space marines. But while the setting is different, on a technical level it isn't better than anything else we've seen. ie. Jak & Daxter BLEW me away back in the day. This doesn't. Perhaps some vids will

 

[jetjevons]

Gotta say I'm feeling better and better about that foreman grill sitting by my TV.

You have to look at the shrunk-down gifs to be impressed.

 

[BamYouHaveAids]

You have to look at the shrunk-down gifs to be impressed.

You have to look at blown-up pictures to not be. I change my vote from decent to awesome!

 

[Xdrive05]

If I don't say this now I'm going to go nuts. WHAT is everyone going so gaga over? The IQ is horrible and the environments don't look right. Of course the model is very nice, but it doesn't seem OMG NEXT ORDER OF MAGNITUDE nice.

I'm being completely serious. No trolling bullsh!t either. I really just don't see it. It looks incredibly spotty. While the model looks technically great, the environment textures, foliage, and water shaders look extremely meh and detract severly from the great model.

Maybe if I saw it running live, and animated, @ 60fps I would say "wow" but this is doing absolutely nothing for me.

Now as a concept for the game (what little I know about it), I think it looks very interesting. And the pedigree doesn't hurt any either.

What is it that I'm not seeing here, GAF?

Well, you have to put things in perspective. This is not Gears of War. This game supposedly has next gen physics based animation as well as huge environments streamed from the disc. If you think about this as, say, Jak & Daxter, it's hard not to be impressed by the detail of the main character.

I mean, this is already much better than any screen taken from the trailer. Now think of that awesome trailer with this level of graphics awesomness.

 

[pswii60]

If it does run at 60fps, then yes, I will declare myself impressed but i have my doubts as developers don't seem to give a damn about 60fps this gen

 

[pswii60]

Double post

 

[bud]

were you impressed by the trailer?

[Chrono]

Just check the post history of the people complaining about it.

Mystery solved.

Says the guy with a dante avatar, responding to and agreeing with the one with a snake avatar. I don't think we even need to check the post history here. :lol

 

[Luckyman]

Technically very average.

I would prepare to eat crow.

Exactly my thoughts. I think Sony have been starving everyone for so long though that people are just so damn happy to have some media at long last. But as I said... I *WILL* be impressed IF this is at 60fps.

Yeah, it's true that screenshots of J&D never did it justice, but then I've seen nothing of this game that shows huge draw distances etc. The draw distance and constant 60fps was the most impressive part of J&D.

But the point I'm making is that these screenshots haven't 'wowed' me. Movies of the game might. Hell, the physics and open environments might. But these screenshots haven't. And that's what everyone is getting so excited about on here, these screenshots.

 

[pswii60]

No need. The SCREENSHOTS look technically very average. I'm talking about THE SCREENSHOTS. NOT THE GAME. We've not seen the actual game in motion yet.

Well that's because people apply this screen to that trailer. Which is the most sensible way to look at this.

You probably didn't see the guy in the middle there.

OMG YOU WENT BACK IN TIME

Spoiler

you're joking right?

 

[pswii60]

OMG YOU WENT BACK IN TIME

Spoiler

NO. That original video was in-engine but scripted. And this is a 3D screenshot.

We've not seen any actual in-game gameplay videos.

 

[Ken K in the Fresh!!!]

had my reservations, but seeing the screenshots 'in motion' changed my opinion.

good gfx, but not OMG good. im sure things will only improve in the future builds

 

[antiloop]

Technical average my ass. Show me equally compressed pics of what's technical above average.

No bullshots plz.

 

[Ceb]

He now looks a bit like

I think the game looks fantastic as it is, but if it takes place in a massive, loading-free jungle, there's just no competition: this will be the most impressive next-gen game for a while.

 

[Xdrive05]

Watch the trailer.

I just watched it again and it looks interesting, but there's no way that was gameplay. It looked like one big well-directed cutscene that may have been in-engine (though it had better foliage than this 3d screen - but that may just be because of the particular scene of the screen). Now if this build is running at 60fps and the forest is wide open, amazing animations, amazing physics, etc., then I think this can wow me pretty easily. But you can't really say from looking at this spotty 3d screenshot.

But I want to see real gameplay to see how it really plays and animates and so on. Otherwise it looks like all we have to go on is a cool looking trailer that's only a trailer.

Hence, why I still don't see what all the big whoop is about. :-/

 

[Kittonwy]

Game Informer will feature Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on their cover in the next issue, but couldn't wait to share some new artwork and a quicktime 3D screenshot from the game:

http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200702/N07.0216.1154.00546.htm

Link to the screenshot is in the article - currently can't load it :/

edit - I wonder how many PS3 heroes are going to be called Nathan..up to 2 now!

Holy smoke it's beautiful, thanks gofreak!!!111!!!!

 

[Kittonwy]

Yeah, he used to look like

and now he's awesome.

You mean awesome like

Well in all fairness I'd rather base my impressions of the game on a trailer which was confirmed by the devs to be realtime. then blown up screengrabs of a 3D Quicktime shot.

 

[Xdrive05]

I would LOOOOOVE to see the in-game representations of that concept art.

It's kind of like Far Cry with good art (IMO).

 

[pswii60]

Well in all fairness I'd rather base my impressions of the game on a trailer which was confirmed by the devs to be realtime. then blown up screengrabs of a 3D Quicktime shot.

Are you going to do that for Killzone 2 and 8 Days too?

Seriously before going gaga, everyone should wait until we get some true in-game videos. If they wow me, then I'll sure as hell go gaga myself. But until then I remain cynical.

 

[Pimpwerx]

No need. The SCREENSHOTS look technically very average. I'm talking about THE SCREENSHOTS. NOT THE GAME. We've not seen the actual game in motion yet.

You should understand the tech first before determining how average it really is. The devil is in the details. You must have considered the previous trailer to be "technically average" then. PEACE.

I don't recall the devs for those respective games adressing wether they were realtime or not. These guys did.

 

[Xdrive05]

I agree with this statement, which is why I'm not in the least bit impressed by today's screenshots. I'm also skeptical of the gameplay at this point, since the trailer was exactly that - a trailer. If they can keep all of those interactive elements as well as the trailer's animation, and make them work in gameplay, then I'll be wowed for certain. But of course there's nothing in these screenshots to suggest that (obviously).

It's hard to be an optimist in the games industry based on what we see in trailers. As bad as that sounds.

 

[frAntic_Frog]

WOW will this game have motorstorm-style pauses where you can pause the game and pan around the action and ogle at the sweet muzzle-flashes??

i wished resistance had a feature like that (one of the playtests showed Ted Price panning the action during a paused firefight....too bad )
