the first uncharted is still the best looking game out right now, anyone who say otherwise is a fanboy

Fishy Fingers5366d ago (Edited 5366d ago )

I personally think Killzone 2 looks better than the original, and of course Crysis/Warhead.

What your basically saying is, "anyone with a different opinion to me is a fanboy".

MrJack5366d ago

PS3 exclsives are just raising the bar, Uncharted, MGS4, Killzone, all graphical masterpieces.

And now we have Uncharted 2 and GOW3 to look forward to, not to mention GT5.

Can't wait.

SevWolf5366d ago

I'm gonna have to agree with you by saying it's one of the best looking games out... Definitely in the top three, cause the rest depends on preference, but even though the improvements are VERY clear the pictures in those comparisons don't do Uncharted justice, the picture of Roman is from earlier version(cause in the game he only uses a revolver and not a PM) saying that it shows you how impressive the first one is, especially the fact that the first's in-game model of Drake looks like the CG model and the second CLEARLY surpasses the CG model
I would just like to know, is there ANY sequel out there that was released on the same console as its predecessor and improves this much? The only one I could think of other than UC2 is MGS3(which looked and played a lot better than MGS2)

A_Little_Girl5366d ago

anyone who disagree with me is a fanboy, a stupid fat fanboy

SupaPlaya5366d ago

I disagree with this as well

PotNoodle5366d ago (Edited 5366d ago )

For realisitic lighting, physics and particle effects - i think killzone 2 looks better. But for art style, character models, high res detailed textures, water and other stuff like that - uncharted 2 looks better.

Oh and character animation on uncharted 2 is the best i've seen on ANY game, in the beta, running around and if you say, slightly knock up against a wall you will stumble slightly, characters don't ignore the enviroment, which 99% of games are like.

But for Ai reaction to being shot, then i think killzone 2 is best for that too.

its funny how Sony exclusives only competition is Sony exclusives.

led10905366d ago

i saw u trolling on the valve ps3 article.....so i wont take ur opinion with the grain of salt......as far as graphics go i think the leap is huge....and this will definitely give crysis 2 a run for its money

mfwahwah5366d ago

Actually the best looking games out there are board games. Highest definition out there, man. It's like I'm seeing them in real life or something, it's that good.

Didn't exactly 'blow my mind' like the title said but there is an improvement (:

krackchap5366d ago

Who thought Killzone 2 would be robbed of its graphical superiority crown in less than 6 months of release.
ND are just to damn awesome.

Nitrowolf25366d ago

Yah but KZ2 is still the best looking FPS out there. The is by far the Bst look TPS out there.

Darkeyes5366d ago (Edited 5366d ago )

I do have to say this... Whenever I pop in KZ2, it never fails to amaze me.... Especially with 32 players online... Glitch less with no frame rate issue at those graphics is an insane achievement. Anyone who undermines GG's achievement is a fanboy or a hater.... KZ2 showed what future FPS should be like... People might call MW2 more fun, but for me KZ2 was the first FPS to real 'blow' me away.

Uncharted 2 is another masterpiece.... The visuals are simply jaw dropping I must admit. It's in fact a great thing that KZ2 got trumped so early... Shows what to expect in the near future from Sony first party... I even hope GOW3 trumps UC2... Heavy Rain seems to be a worthy competitor as well....

nix5366d ago

please dont mention so many great exclusives in one comment... i might die of an heart attack! lol... q:

raztad5366d ago (Edited 5366d ago )

A lot of people out there hating KZ2 because its not in their console of choice:

-- It got "poor" textures, they say

-- Rico is annoying, they say

-- KZ2 is teh boringzz, they say

Its so funny. Besides to be a technical masterpiece, early showcase of PS3 prowess and GG dedication to understand PS3 arch. KZ2 got the most frickingly exciting combat ever. Slow paced and tactical, your foes are smart, its almost impossible no to die, more than once just turning any corner.

I love to see UC2 pushing even more the envelope but I expect GoW3 to raise the bar higher. Running at 1080p with almost CGI quality graphics. Hell yeah, day one purchase.

Redempteur5366d ago (Edited 5366d ago )

The future of online games ?

Like the fact that there is no loading or lag when the assigment( objective ) on the map change ? ( switching to capture the flag to , massacre , to domination mode ect ect ? )

yeah yeah that's impressive. i wonder who will be the first to copy it

or are you talking about the massive CLAN options killzone 2 has ?

kaveti66165366d ago

Well, I agree with what you say, but I must admit I am guilty of criticizing the textures. From what I've seen the game is awesome in all respects, but the textures are a bit lower than what I expected. Well, the textures are actually great most of the time, it's only in a few places where one can see that the object was overlooked. Still, Killzone 2 is the best looking console FPS out right now. And I think the only FPS that will top it in visuals (on consoles) is Killzone 3

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

P_Bomb1453d ago (Edited 1453d ago )

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1452d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1452d ago (Edited 1452d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1453d ago

I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.

Profchaos1452d ago (Edited 1452d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1453d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931452d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.
