Uncharted: 2006 Target-render compared September 2007

Here is a comparison of Uncharted's 2006 target-render with its contemporary counterpart - from video footage from the last couple of months.

[techie]

The 2007 screenshots look leaps and bounds better than the 2006 ones...even though they are captures from a video. What are you getting at Hydrolex?

ps. I concur - it was an early build, not a target render.

[Itachi]

wow the 2007 shots look leaps and bounds better than the 2006 target.. this game is gonna be something.

[techie]

lol is everyone taking the piss? Do american's not say "leaps and bounds"? is it a terribly British thing to say? lol

[WilliamRLBaker]

I only agree with you deep on the enviorments, I think the character models specially skin look much more plastic then in the render.

The enviorments seem to have taken a slight swerve in terms of art form, Much darker...ect Though they look better then the render, I still think skin looks more plastic now.

Edit: upon further viewing of different picture *those aren't very good in terms of compression* the Plants leaves have a plastic quality now too, leaves are not that shiny in darkended areas only in sunlight, and most leaves aren't that shiny at all.

[techie]

And that looks worse how Will? To create that look is a more complex render than the previous flat look. If you want to read about their painterly art style please go ahead - because it is completely deliberate, to make them stand out from the crowd.

They decided this art style AFTER the 2006 render. So what you talk of is merely preference, and nothing to do with the strength of the graphical effects within the game.

Environments darker? Uh...many of the ones attached are in the shade. The HDR lighting actually makes the daylight ones brighter...and the light shines through the leaves. Plus textures are immense: (wet drake also looks cool :p)

[stunt213]

They're like 2 completely different style the 2006 one looks cartoony and the 2007 looks a lot better because it's more realistic.

[WilliamRLBaker]

a lil obsessive about the game deep?
Simply Put No the stuff isn't all ways in shade, the enviorment is darker.

The main dude has a more gruff look he looks meaner, The enemies look meaner and darker, The enviorments are DARKER, In one screeny hes up againest a pillar on a white type wall yet the scene looks dark, more gritty, if you look in the background you can see arches which he is againest the arches go all the way through but no light is comming onto him=darker.

and its not preference you can easily see that when the characters are in a lighted enviorment their skin looks plastic, Its shiny as hell, Even with a muzzle flash of a weapon your skin doesn't light up in a plastic manner.

stop being so obesseive I didn't say the game looked like crap, i simply made a statement that it looks darker, The older target renders with their (flat colors) looked more real then the plastic new ones.

*Humans have a flat tone this is simple fact, even when perspiring*

@stunt
so looking like plastic is more real?....i dont think i've ever seen a human shine when in the light.

[Mu5afir]

Those pictures are from an older build of the game.

[hazeblaze]

There was a VAST improvement over their 2006 build... awesome to see really. EVERYthing about the later build looks way better... lighting, character models, environment, art detail, etc... Naughty Dog has done a good job pushing their vision on this game!

[tfur]

Your quote:

</quote>

Will, there is a reason you are not an artist... seriously...

Deep, this is the same guy who said Ratchet & Clank looks like "crap"... don't bother...

Its all just sour grapes... the latest game play footage looks better than the earlier flat shaded ones... everyone knows it...

This game looks incredible.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

clearly current build looks much better(more defined I guess) than the old target render.

[sloth4urluv]

looks alot better than the earlier version (minus the wacked out contrast levels)

BTW I bet you like looking at the wet drake pictures deep :p

[nasim]

to HALO 3---poor low poly models and cartoon graphics

What a shame for MS and x360?

[jackfatal]

i find it that all pictures that are taken now is better and more realistic then the target one's except his face!!

EDIT

did any one heard his voice?? am interested in his charector and voice!!
and the story!! i hope they put a decent story!! if the story is not good then many people will complain!!

[green_ghost5]

What is it with you british, that mmakes you think you are so much better than Americans, remember we came from england, dumbass.

[SmokeyMcBear]

wow the 2007 shots look leaps and bounds better than the 2006 target.. this game is gonna be something.

[techie]

you big copy cat

[risk]

lol

[SmokeyMcBear]

hehe i coulnt have said it any better, so i didnt

[Cartesian3D]

I think that was early build not TARGET render.. anyway new footage is REALLY AMAZING (more realistic than 2006 target render!! )..

character models,lighting,amount of textures,animations,visual effects,water physics.... all are No.1

good job ND.

EDIT : wow the 2007 shots look leaps and bounds better than the 2006 target.. this game is gonna be something.

BTW STFU WilliamRLbaker plz... S T F U ... lol ..

[xaphanze]

looks way way way better. I wonder how KZ 2 will look next year.

[Ri0tSquad]

The last build i have seen of the game it looked like there was more color to it more then the one they showed at E3. So we should see some more improvement next year but I think there more focused on making the A.I. better.

[Taker_129]

so they have hit that target now they are working out bugs and getting the online right

[mighty_douche]

the target material looks much to 'clean' and 'cartoony'. while uncharted obviously isnt a M rated or gritty grainy game, it still manages to be exceptable on everyones eye while still maintaining a little 'edge'.

also a complete lack of HDR in the render.

[hotshot1237]

theres always in denial. and you know what. im tired of them taking my bubbles away. everybody here should give bubbles to each other. im giving bubbles to all of you right now.

[DaTrooF]

i'm really fellin'it.
dont worry about the "trolls"
if they say something like "THE 2006 VERSION LOOKS WAAAAY BETTER"
many will look like idiots
because i remember when the first video of UDF was on this site many 360/ps3 fanboyz alike didnt think it was real.
they thought it was CG

[b777conehead]

gave you a buuble

[the worst]

looks real good

[Kulupoo]

I like the 2007 in-game screen shot better
I'm a big fan of high dynamic lighting, and Naughty dog use them well

[Meus Renaissance]

With joy when I saw this. Awesome work Naughty - you made my day

[wangdiddy82]

game is going to be sweet..

[unlimited]

Uncharted going to one of the best looking game for the PS3 i cant imagine next year when more great games come out..

[Goshyujin_Sama]

2007 shots look simply amazing. Another quality ps3 exclusive on its way and I love it!

[techie]

ps. there's now motion blur - and there wasn't in the "first build"

[Clinton514]

Looking very good.

[DJ]

surpassed by the actual game. Anyone curious about what Motorstorm 2 will look like? =]

[DEADEND]

Everyone knows that game will look gorgeous and I hope it comes out sometime next year or early 2009.

[m9105826]

Motorstorm 2 should look great when they get it all sorted out, and with updated Havok the physics stuff should really be over the top.

[ProjectX]

I prefer moss growing on rocks and walls since the environment is a ruin in a jungle. The developers said they don't want it to look too real. Beside that the ingame does look better with everything else.

[techie]

There is moss and plants growing on the walls...ever think that maybe you're looking at a different wall?

ps. last pic is just to show how great drake looks in game. Drake ingame = drake cutscene.

[Panthers]

Looks a lot better now! Cant wait.

[supnub5]

that actually overcome their target renders while others release game that haven't.

[Sevir04]

this is leaps and bounds over the 2006. i cant believe how sony's first party is delivering on target renders from the past. i so remember marts cliche and most famous quote... "Sony and it's CGI lies" and then we look at the cgi comparison to the hs 2005 and hs 2007 screens and videos. and then we have killzone2 which matched it's 2005 and then some. fight night round 3. motorstorm.. who came freakin close. and lair who's 2007 screens made it's 05 presentation look laughable. and now naughty dog is showing out it's 2006 presentation just a year ago and now look. and let's add some 3rd party devs in there like Kojima san who's made MGS4 look just as good as it's initial showing from it's official 2005 TGS showing on running pre alpha PS3 dev kits. as tkonami was one of the first. and then capcom with it's DMC4 which actually showed comparable graphics from it's 05 tgs realtime pre alpha PS3 kits with it's 2007 showing at this years TGS.

"CGI lies" mart get over thy self really.

no longer can you hold that arguement. PS3 first party games are showing out xbox360 games and exclusive left and right. once third party devs like EA and ubisoft start getting grips of ps3 hardware like sony's First and second party, and they are, recent multiplatform games look neck to neck with 360 counter parts by the end of next year. games on ps3 will look better. and the first party titles will look miles ahead of everything.

[Blackmoon]

The 2006 trailer and screenshots were real time:

http://ps3.ign.com/articles...

Naughty Dog has said many times that they've trimmed down the graphics for a more cartoony adventurous feel.

[Relientk77]

wow thats pretty awesome... it looks like 1000x better now

[timmyp53]

He is a bit of a Uncharted fan.. how can u resist =)

[razer]

Oh wait, were not in a Halo 3 article so I guess I can't say that.

Looks very good and I can't wait for this holiday!

[pwnsause]

amazing! it looks way more crisp than the 2006 build

[40cal]

If this game plays half as good as it looks it will be a AAA, 10/10, blockbuster, hell of a game. And a first day buy for me. Also images like that are what make the PS3 worth $600.00 in my book, and the system keeps getting cheaper. If you have a PS3 smart move, if you dont then you should probably get one very soon :)

[SmokeyMcBear]

i think you are forgetting that this is a ps3 game and no matter how it looks or plays, it will get -2 points just for being on the platform

[lonestarmt]

yeah I know, or minus a point because it doesn't have online play... lol

[sheng long]

anyone know the technical aspects of this game? such as how many spu's it's using, or whether it utilizes cell+rsx combo? just curious.
and i find it unbelievable that ps3 is only 10 months old and it's already producing such work of art. The future looks bright indeed.

[pilotpistolpete]

Looks pretty amazing. Some parts even photo realistic. Although I didn't mind the more animated look of 2006, the realistic approach works wonders for this game. Definitely gonna buy this game when it comes out.

[HarryEtTubMan]

LOOKKKSSS SWEET

[Meus Renaissance]

No bets on the type of member who pressed DISAGREE on every single comment here. That bought an even bigger smile to my face

[Masta_fro]

Title of my coment says it all..

[doomsonyman]

THE PRESENT FOOTAGE LOOKS BETTER THEN THE PRERENDERD GAME

[xc7x]

but way more realistic than previous build,should be fun nonetheless

[ChefDejon]

round of applause

[TheUltimatePS3Fanboy]

looks about the same to me but clearer.

[stuntman_mike]

cant wait for this game, its gonna rock!!

[IRONMAN_357X]

naughty dog, you should be knighted for your service, thx for another great AAA game on ps3

[mccomber]

Looking great, I've had mine ordered on Amazon for weeks now. After some of the latest previews said that the gameplay had been tweaked and was coming together as well as the graphics... looks like it's finally going to be the game that everyone should be able to agree is AAA on the ps3.

BTW, is it just my imagination or did someone go through and click disagree on every post through about 27?

[pilotpistolpete]

Yep, your not seeing things. Some people actually get a kick out of using the disagree button. No joke...

[m9105826]

"lol, I disagreed. That'll really stick it to Sony!"

[socomnick]

I like the 2006 version better looks much brighter and colorful.

[akaFullMetal]

looks great, cant wait for this, i loved how heavenly sword looked, ill especially love this

[gerrard]

Sorry Xbots but there's no contest here, the graphics in this game is by far and away superior to anything the 360 has shown so far and that includes Gears of war, and it's only its first year, and I know you lot will make a futile attempt to dispute that, but you'll only end up making fools of yourselves, you lot asked for Sony to prove it's the superior machine (even though you Xbots are too embarrassed to admit it)and it has just done that as you lot witness this was no pre rendered CGI or PC but PS3 itself and thats the results you get without b*thcing about how hard it is to develop for. And thats the difference with a console (360) that can upscale 1080p and a true 1080/24p console(PS3).

[Dareaver1]

why can't you just end it at that. Why do you have to go and flame. Your just as bad or worse than opposing fanboys. I do like the games artsy look a lil' bit better then this more realistic look because i don't want all games striving for the same ultra-realistic look. Developers shouldn't fear that if they don't make their games look realistic that people are not going to buy them. That's kinda the whole point behind videogames, an escape from reality and the Norms. If all games try to make only realistic games, then that will just make the game industry look plain and the same, i like companies that charge a different path. Like the company that made Psychonauts (awesome game, by the way.) And I always respected NaughtyDog for their ambitious and creative games.

Game looks like it's going to be awesome, i might have to go and get a PS3 when this comes out. Hopefully it's at a more competitive price by then because i'm not known for my patience when it comes to things i want, and i really don't want to shell out so much. (Sigh!) But if it can't be helped, then it can't be helped.

@ Gerrard
I understand what you are saying, believe you me, sometimes i get frustrated when i come to this site, and see the childish bickery that goes on between fanboys, but when you choose to do the same is when you have lowered yourself to their level. I have not found any information that supports alot of PS3 fanboys claims that the 360 can only upscale to 1080. Especially since games like Virtual Tennis from Sega are natively 1080p. I find that to be quite the contrary, but like i said before, i do understand what your saying.

[gerrard]

I'm only responding to those idiots who tried in everyway to bash Sony with weak and unfounded facts so I was giving them a taste of their own medicine, they had it in for Sony from the beginning(even before PS3 made it's debut and has been criticizing anything and everything the PS3 does. And I've been observing this since Nov 06. True some of the failings was Sonys fault but the media, game critics and xbots in this forum wanted to see Sony fall on it's sword (they failed to do that with PS2). I'm not having a go at general gamers who own 360 because if they enjoy the games on it then who am I to argue otherwise. It is those who are anti Sony oppotunist who make up stories of how terrible the PS3 is and know nothing about how the cell works even though they make assumptions (for your information it was jointly developed by Sony, Toshiba & IBM)and now that Sony has finally shown whats it capable of doing it is those culprits I'm laying into backed up with facts for all to see. And as for flame war they started it in the first place.

[Dareaver1]

I do have a rebuttal to as who started what first, and i'm sorry to say, but in my observations it has been the PS3 fanboys. It all came flying out when Sony was toting about how powerful their console was going to be. I have a 360, and i have a Dreamcast, and when Sony started their marketing campaign about how much more powerful they would be, i started to get a feeling of dejavu. Gladly enough the 360 has withstood the blows of Sony's marketing machine, and has had some impressive counters. But all in all it was Sony beating their chest first on who was going to be the best and most powerful. Humbleness was not in their vocabulary. Remember the whole Next-Gen gaming doesn't start until we say so speech. That was a smack in the face to M$ and all the people that bought their respectable console. And then 360 fans had to deal with PS3 fanboys, with whom there seems to be a lot more of them then 360 fanboys. I mean look at this post, not much counters from the 360 fanboys, but i was in a Halo 3 post, and i saw nothing but known PS3 fanboys. It gets irritating. Plus if you look at a lot of the stories, there is a lot of 360 Bashing stories, stories that bash 360 games, i mean come on. They greatly outnumber the few negative PS3 stories. So as in who drew blood first, i'll have to disagree with you on that one. But great debating with you, nice to see that there can be respectable conversing between gamers.

My 360 just died on me, and i'm not jaded at all because in two weeks i'm getting a new one. I'm slightly pissed because i just bought the Legendary Edition Halo 3, and luckily enough i beat it on Heroic before my 360 Red Ringed out, but i was salivating at the Online Co-op for the legendary difficulty. And now i have to wait, but i'm still cool about it.

[gerrard]

Sorry to correct you on this issue here but it was the likes of bloodmask, power of green,the mart,Bloody sinner e.t.c were flaming on unfounded facts about the PS3 and this was even before the machine was released. As I said before Sony was also to blame for some of this as well but if there is constructive criticism then I wouldn't complain. But these were unreasonable and over the top criticisms remember when they did that childish comparison of PGR3 to fake Saturn Sega rally trying to say it was PS3? As for the power of PS3 you've now seen for your self what Sony's been talking about! They wouldn't spend time and money on developing a true next gen machine and not talk about it. Its like saying companies are not allowed to advertise their products without exaggerating about them abit.
As for Microsoft they're not exactly whiter than white like you make them out to be.
Firstly 360 (a good games machine it may be) has been made of old PC technology (though nothing wrong with that), and has been trying to make out its the true HD product which it clearly ain't and i'll tell you why first DVD9 cannot output HD because there's simply no space on the disc to do so, simple as that, if that was the case then Sony would not have wasted time on bluray Disc, So that was a lie from Microsoft and don't talk to me about compression as a solution because if that did then something simple as music which has used all forms of compression technic (MP3,AAC for example)would sound as good or better than 750kb CD.

Secondly they cut cost all over the place in order to get their console out first without troubleshooting it first resulting in 33% failures on which at first they denied was happening and after pressure was put them they were forced to admit there was a problem and up to now they're yet to resolve.

Thirdly there trying to tell you their consoles value for money when clearly it isn't, for elite you have to pay $349, then add wifi ($149)
hd-dvd ($200)(in which they half heartedly supported), Live pay subscription ($50) per year, Wireless control either buy batteries or rechargeable. So where's the value in that

And who was standing outside a game shop in france on the day of PS3's release with the banner 'xbox loves you'on a bridge? And then there's overhyped halo3, Vista, Zune and so on.

At least Sonys doing something to rectify their mistakes (i.e better games like the one you just saw, price drop I suspect, Dualshock 3 and marketing their console better).

As you can see no matter what Sony does it will never satisfy these fools, on the other hand if Microsoft can make their product's more reliable without charging people for the privilege then I may end up getting one myself.

But as thing are now I stand by what I said.

[Dareaver1]

I never said M$ was innocent, like i posted before, i'm without my 360 right now because of their design flaws, but i'm not bitter about it, because the gaming i have enjoyed and the customer service has been great (and i know fanboys will probably snicker and say, "well they had plenty of practice") lol go ahead and laugh, but they are kinda right.) But the 360 is far from old tech my friend. The original XBox maybe was, but the 360 has the most advanced GPU to date. Nothing is old about it's GPU. And as a counter the PS3 has a new tech CPU, but old tech GPU. Each console has their strengths, but if you knock one, then you have to realize and knock the other. Also, the 360 is about choice. I don't have a Hi-def TV, but i wanted to play the games the 360 had so i bought the premium. I don't need the HD-Dvd. The asking price to enjoy this generation of gaming is considerably cheaper on the 360 than PS3. You get a lot in the box of the PS3, but a lot of it is things that i can't even enjoy or don't need. Like all those mem readers, i have a pc for that, and wifi so i don't need any of that since i can just stream off of my pc. So you see. If you wanted to jump into this generation of gaming, the 360 offered a far less drastic leap, and then once you can afford all those Hi-def luxuries then you can buy more stuff to compliment your new hardware.

And i know there are 360 fanboys, but i'm sorry to say, but there still are far more PS3 fanboys on this site. Trust me, just go into a Halo 3 post, you can get your flame fill on one of those posts. It's hard for PS3 fans and fanboys to admit anything the 360 is offering, but if you scroll down, you'll see 360 fans admitting good things about the PS3 (especially this game.) Just take a look.

[gerrard]

I'm not having a go at those who enjoy their 360 its a good games machine (I did like Dead Rising), that has never been in doubt and it does have one of the latest GPU. But the Processors are old tech, The same goes for Xbox 1,
but lets not split hairs.
My point is that I wasn't having a go at 360 owners, I was slagging off those who were making up unfounded stories about PS3 that are not true and criticizing at every oppotunity possible because they want to see Sony fail (bloodmask,the mart,power of green people like those lot), however I can see your point because they've haven't made any comment on this one as of yet, and true gamers (360 & PS2/3) have.

I on the other hand don't want to see Microsoft fail,(but i would like to see them put things right like Sony are doing) otherwise if one company gets their way Be it Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo then I fear the quality of gaming will suffer and that would be a shame.

[Dareaver1]

great discussion, sorry if i used up all your bubbles. But it was a good debate, and i think we got somewhere through the discussion. I respect all your points and i do understand how frustrating it can get when you have to see all the stupid fanboy comments. That's why it's best to never stoop to their level.

Great chattin' with you, and by the way this game may make me buy a PS3. I always have loved the action/puzzle/platform genre, and i hear it has a cover system similar to gears, so i will definitely be able to adapt to the controls a lot faster, and enjoy the game a lot more. I was waiting for that update of the Tomb Raiders game and Resident Evil 4 to come to the 360, and i can't wait till this game comes out. You might find a PS3 gamertag in my Bio soon enough.

[sonarus]

uncharted, killzone and gran turismo really show what the ps3 is capable off. They are the most impressive games to me not the best but definetly the most impressive i have seen. MGS4 too but what more can you expect from MGS

[Figboy]

Naughty Dog confirmed back in 2006, that that original trailer was running on their early build of the game. nothing in the trailer, or these screenshots, was target CGI, it was all ingame, so either way you cut it, the game has always looked *FANTASTIC.

outside of the new model for Elena, i like the current build *INFINITELY better than the old build (there's nothing wrong with the more glamorous Elena model, i just liked the idea of an average; read "regular" looking female protagonist, instead of the WB/CW standard fair we get nowadays; that, and i like brunettes more than blondes).

Assassin's Creed and Uncharted are my two must have games for the month of November, and their acquisition supercedes all others for that month.

this is going to be such a happy holiday season for me. there are at least 10 games that i'm planning on either purchasing, or GameFlying from now until the end of November (thankfully, December is a dry month for releases that interest me, so i'll be able to catch up on the games i had to pass up in October and November).

[btkadams]

wow. they really surpassed the target render. im excited for this game. whens it come out again?

[Lord Anubis]

yo deep where are the target renders? I can't find them.

[Marty8370]

Another must have purchase for PS3.

[smturner68]

I was gonna say, "FINALLY!!! There's another game worth buying on the ps3. My Resistance, Motorstorm, VF5, and F1 games were getting lonely!" For having the ps3 this long, I expected to have more must have games. I suppose I should get Warhawk, but I don't want to just download it. I want the disc. However, I don't need a bluetooth headset. I have stereo AND mono headsets already. I think I'll wait until they release just the game for purchase on disc in the store. I think I'll rent Heavenly Sword, although I rarely just rent games.(is it worth a buy? maybe on ebay when it comes down in price!)
Anyway, I'm happy that this game actually comes out in 2007. I wanna see the potential of the ps3. I have so many 360 games(around 70), it just seems unfair! I preordered Folklore, so I hope the initial mediocre reviews aren't correct! I think (and HOPE!) that Uncharted meets expectations. I think it looks good, altho I see some flaws. I played a video of it for a guy at work, he thinks it looks stupid. Like one point, the guy in the game shoots the chains off of a metal gate, then proceeds to kick it open. The entire gate comes off, implying that he didn't need to waste his bullets anyway! Little details can make or break a game. Let's hope this game isn't just an exercise in pretty graphics...again.

[shysun]

WTF? you don't want to Download warhawk? you don't make any since what so ever.

[jackdoe]

Better lighting and textures. It's really an improvement.

[vaan]

This game is looking amazing. Beautiful character modeling and realistic lighting. It is also supposed to have some of the best water graphics ever as well.

[vidoardes]

I am really psuched to see what this game turns out like, because Naughty Dog always make fun games. Crash Bandicoot broke mey PSOne because when I first bought it, I didn't have a memory card so I left it in the machine running for a couple of weeks straight, could not stop playing it, and I loved Jak & Daxter too. It had a massive environment, great graphics... this game has always been on my radar, and I thought it looked good back in 06, now it looks awesome! With this MGS4 (huge fan) and FF I ame dging closer and closer to a PS3 purchase every day... heres hoping for a price drop!

[bOOmStiCK]

You did know that crash bandicoot had a password system? And after a couple of playthroughs you should get to Neo Cortex in a couple of hours. But either way, amen to that! These guys are lord and master of the platformgenre in my opinion. I too have spent hunderds of hours playing the Jak en Crash series.

[xg-ei8ht]

Nd stated that when the game is finished they hoped to be using around 40-50% of cell.

I haven't heard anything of this lately, except that devs for motorstorm 2 are firing for the same percentage.

Remember motorstorm was stated as using 20% of cell.

Its looking good:)

[felidae]

This looks even better than the 06 target render

[SL1M DADDY]

This game is on my list of must have titles for sure. ND has never let me down before and this one looks to be more of the same... GREATNESS. The 06 render looks good and was a good benchmark but the 07 in game footage looks "ama-za-zing"!!!

[Panthers]

i like how nearly every post has 1 disagree. Some peopel have no life

[Vip3r]

I thinking the same thing too.

[PS3n360]

this looks like 360 lighting and contrast which is good, cause it squashes the whole PS3 looks washed out argument people where throwing around, but I kinda prefer the softer lighting and muted tones like in Heavenly Sword.

[S1D3 EFFEC7]

>__>

I think I might buy a PS3 if they really drop the price to 400 USD. This game, Killzone 2, Mass Effect, Alan Wake among other coming to PS3/360 should keep me and my LCD more than happy.

*starts saving money*

[Jinxstar]

If only more people thought like you the gaming community would be a better place.

I own all 3 and am happy with all. SAVE THAT MONEY HOMIE

[RadientFlux]

Actually I prefer the target-renders over the video footage. The video footage just looks too shiny and too bump-mapped when compared to the more softer target-renders.

[Salvadore]

For some reason, I quite like the 06 renders more.

[VirusE]

The 07 pics have much better lighting in my opinion. Everything has a much darker look to it in my opinion.

[kn]

It almost seems like the environments in the current build are suffering from lighting effects being too intense or something. The facial images are better in the 07 build for sure, though.

[Whoooop]

This game leaps and it damn sure bounds!!!

[jay3]

have any of you guys seen halo 3. Man it's like what the ???????

If you mean graphics then yeah. It doesn't even render in 720P. It just upscales. The lighting isn't that good either.

[PS3n360]

It looks damn near identical to the outdoor halo 3 environnments and lighting. Unless you have played Halo3 with your eyes open you would be very silly to disagree. Remember the whole "Halo3 graphics suck" conspiracy is a lie. They are very nice just like these screens. If you think Halo3 graphics suck then you will think these graphics will suck as well. I personally think these graphics are sweet.

I'm with Deep on this one.

Uncharted could be the best game this year.

S1D3 Effect - Yeah...Alan Wake almost made me buy a 360. I'll either pump this HP up with an 8800 or get a 360 though. I'm not sure...

Alan Wake has some pretty wicked graphics too. This year (and next year all the more also) is going to be hard on my wallet. I hope Uncharted and all the other AAA looking titles for the PS3 live up to their hype. That way when I finally get the PS triple I will have some games that really shine on the system.

AAA game!

I got a ps3 was for this game along with ratchet and clank. The next couple of months leading upto and shortly after christmas is going to be so cool. Cod4, mass effect, ratchet and clank, uncharted, assassins creed along with the few that have already come out really show how cool this gen is and what great games we have had and look forward to. Its funny sometimes how people get so caught up in the whole console war and really don't look at how good we have it from the amazing looking mass effect, story telling and atmosphere of boishock to the sheer fun and amazing looking ratchet and clank and what looks like a great story in uncharted. good gaming:)

this game looks terribly bland

[skynidas]

this game is going to rock

[elijah510]

some of the 2007 pictures are off screen gameplay means its a cam, digital camera pointing at the TV

[SofaKingReetodded]

I feel sorry for the 360 after seeing this.

[-SIXAXIS-]

The realtime demo looks a lot better than the target render because in the render, the image was to round and soft. The jagged and rough look of the realitime images look a lot more realistic and suits the game better.

[darkvenom]

looks awesome,and is a must have.

[Vip3r]

This game looks awesome. I hope KZ2 will have the same leap in graphics like this when it's released.

[skynidas]

best game of the year
