Doesn't seem like you understand how streaming works. Streaming in high quality assets like those of Uncharted takes a massive toll on bandwidth and memory. So while it MIGHT be possible, the experience would be akin to playing the first Turok on N64 (really short draw distance and lots of LOD pop-in), except with a lot more load stutters.

The question was if it would be possible to make an open world game with Uncharted 3 level of detail. Did I ever say it would work well? Or that there wouldn't be compromises? Nope.
