Can Call of Duty: MW2 beat Uncharted 2 to achieve the best graphics of 2009?

GB writes: "What a year it has been. And if we thought that the current year has ended for video games than you are very much mistaken. The holiday season is right around the corner and with games like Modern Warfare 2 and Assassins Creed 2 unreleased so far, we don't really have a clear winner as to who will take the elite title of best graphics of 2009. So far Naughty Dog's Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is running the show. Many gamers have already give their judgment about the game; that its the 'game of the generation'. But Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is really looking like a stellar game which can give Uncharted 2 a good run for its money in the visuals department."

[gameseveryday]

not sure about MW2 beating Uc2 in graphics, but it might be really close!

[williamkenny]

Modern Warfare 2 is not supposed to have had a huge graphical overhall (it runs on the same engine as the last game) but on a 50" HDTV...it's going to look sweet.

[The Hunter]

They can forget it.. Uncharted 2 is still king (in graphics).. That doesnt matter that MW2 can be the king again with the online play..

Still i will love it ;)

[Darkeyes]

Are you serious? A multi-plat beating Uncharted 2 in GRAPHICS!!!!!! MW2 isn't even in HD for Gods sake. First beat KZ2, then try beating UC2 in graphics..

[nightfallinicedearth]

Is this a joke? MW2 has decent graphics to say the least. I doubt it will be able beat uncharted. Maybe if they used a new engine then it might have a chance. Don't get me wrong the gameplay makes up for it and I'm sure that's why majority of us are picking this game up.

[PrimordialSoupBase]

lol, no. It's running on a modified Doom 3 engine. Spectacular for what they've done with it but give me a break. They have about one title left to squeeze from it, then it's time for a tech overhaul.

Obvious hitbait article is obvious.

[narked]

one look at cods textures and you have ur answer

[Mindboggle]

Haha i love it when PS3 fanboys get annoyed.

Of course a Multi platform game can beat uncharted 2 in graphics, its just yet to be done. I dont think MW2 will look as great as Uncharted 2, or 1 for that matter. But i think you will all be suprised at how great it looks.

[Jamie Foxx]

they come up with the most retarded articles....uncharted 2 graphics might not even be surpassed next year

[Mr Logic]

600p

[Mindboggle]

Uncharted 2's graphics have already been surpassed. Its called Crysis. And when crysis 2 comes out next year on the PC it will be surpassed again, and even the console versions will look amazing.

Most people dont know how great crysis looks because not many have the chance to play it on a high end PC, which is a shame.

[Elwenil]

Foolishness.

[TheBand1t]

Mindboggle, you know damn well we're talking about console graphics.

I've played Crysis, and it is absolutely jawdropping. And I've played Uncharted 2, and while not as great on a technical level, is still very nice game to look at.

[SL1M DADDY]

Needs to have their eyes checked. Sorry, but MW2 is going to be awesome but in comparison to Uncharted 2, it pales in comparison.

[raztad]

UC2 is just out of reach for MW2. Moreso I find highly unlikely MW2 visuals will be even close to KZ2's.

This "question" is just GamingBolt trying to gain some cheap hits. They already know the answer.

[WhittO]

No Way, MW2 does not have even CLOSE the detail on the main characters U2 does, never mind the huge amazing landscapes etc.
Theres just no way, the only good effect cod has is smoke haha, which when compared to todays games for example (like Killzone 2) now looks cheap and unreal.

Still, that doesnt mean that MW2 will be a bad game, i used to think it was just COD4.5 but now really do believe its worth the purchase. Ill be buying anyway.

A game does not need good graphics to be fun, im not playing through U2 on Crushing because it looks great..

[Pennywise]

Mindboggle.... Good name. After I read your babble, it leaves my mind boggled.

[shingo]

Is this story a joke?

If anyone has played Uncharted 2 he'd realize fully that this news story is either a joke or the author is biologically insane.

[Chubear]

Looking for cheap hits XD

[SL1M DADDY]

Indeed... But Crysis was fun for only those in a catatonic state. Crysis is just plain boring whereas Uncharted 2 is pure story and game play bliss.

Leave it to an insecure PC freak to bring up Crysis in a console related thread. So sad.

[Jaces]

That's a laugh.

Don't get me wrong it looks great but if any game had a chance to outshine UC2 it would be Rage.

[soxfan2005]

Funny how PS3 fans have no problem bringing up PC when talking about 360 "exclusives", yet when the graphics arguement is brought up, specifically Crysis, suddenly PC doesn't count.

[BardockS30Z]

I just watched my friend play it on x360 because I managed to get him an early copy from a local store and the game looks exactly the same was MW1. I must say I really want to play the single player campaign though it looks awesome

[flash74]

Who cares if MW2 beats Uncharted 2 in graphics, it going to be a far better game either way. MW2 will sell more in a month than Uncharted will sell in 2 years. It will be the most actively played game for consoles online for months to come. There's no real comparison here, MW2 is the juggernaut of this year's games. Varsity just showed up, time for JV to take a seat.

[Why o why]

*facepalm*

Edit @ soxfan

*another facepalm*

[OpenGL]

@ soxfan2005

Sure Crysis might still be the best looking game overall, but Uncharted 2 is pretty damn impressive considering it's able to be played on a console starting at $299. I run a Radeon 5870 and I still don't average 60fps in Crysis at 1920x1200 on Very High settings.

Also, the animations in Crysis are garbage in comparison to Uncharted 2, and dead enemies are completely stuck to the ground and cannot be interacted with. This is due to the fact that in Germany, a game will receive an 18+ rating for allowing corpse manipulation, however Crytek should have at least done it properly in the U.S. and other countries where this rule did not apply.

If everything goes according to plan, Crysis 2 should be the best looking game overall next year, when including the PC. Let's hope Crytek really updates their animations as that's pretty much the only thing holding back the first game(well, that and performance).

[sunil]

MW2 will not match UC2.

Simple reasoning... UC2 was developed for a single platform, MW2 is being developed for 3 (PS3, PC, 360)

[SL1M DADDY]

It's even funnier when Xbox fanboys get their facts mixed up about the PC and 360 argument. The argument is, for those who need another look, about how 360 "exclusives" are also available on the PC thus taking away any real exclusivity of the 360 and the claims the fanbase makes. This however is about graphics and comparing the PC to the PS3 is stupid.

Want to try again? No? Good.

[orakga]

Why don't you start pulling Pixar movies out of your @$$ while you're at it.

Crysis my @$$... Dude my WoW looks better than all of these console games when I run it on my PC, but you don't see me running my mouth about how much better it looks, do you. Why? Because it's OUT OF CONTEXT you douche!

[soxfan2005]

What's your point? The PS3 fanbase claims that the PS3 has the "best" graphics, when clearly there are PC games with better graphics.

I don't own a PS3, yet I can still play games with better graphics. Isn't that the main point of the "exclusive" arguement? That a non-360 owner can play 360 games on a PC.

Why is it stupid to compare PC to PS3? Because doing so doesn't support your arguements?

PC either counts as a platform or it doesn't. You can't pick and choose when you want it to count, and when you don't. Personally, I don't think PC counts as a platform - I'm just highlighting the N4G double standard.

[NickIni]

Is this a joke? Just compare the screenshots. MW2 isn't bad at all, but in comparison to Uncharted 2, the winner is pretty clear.

"Who cares if MW2 beats Uncharted 2 in graphics, it going to be a far better game either way. MW2 will sell more in a month than Uncharted will sell in 2 years."

Because more sales = a better game? And it's pretty damn obvious a multiplat will sell more than an exclusive.

[paul0388]

The PC version - very possible.

Console version vs Uncharted 2 - no chance in hell...

[Why o why]

from here soxfan it just seems like you're using the pc to fight the 360's battles.....very bitter. I mean why not compare apples to apples aye.... they have apples out there right ??

Fact...its a pity you chose NOT to use the 360 for this type of argument. SL1M DADDY has already explained the flaw in your logic.

[rockleex]

Not exactly, the graphics of the games you play depends on how powerful your PC is.

PC games aren't stuck to specific specs for 10 years straight. PC games can always utilize as much brute force from the newest graphics cards available.

It is like racing a strictly stock car with another car that always has the option of being tuned up. Over time, the stock car will have less and less of a chance of winning its races against the car that isn't restricted to it's stock specs.

How that can be considered "fair competition" by 360 fanboys (who just don't want to accept that the PS3 has more power) or PC fanboys is beyond me.

Its funny because Crysis and Uncharted are both true exclusives to their respective platforms, while many 360 "exclusives" are also available on PC. So I still don't get how the unfair comparison of a PS3 exclusive to a PC exclusive in graphics has anything to do with what the definition of an "exclusive" is.

This just goes to show how illogical 360 fanboys are. They think their argument makes sense simply because both (totally different arguments) revolve around PC and consoles.

In their desperate hopes of spinning the argument back in their favor, they totally forget that one argument revolves around the comparison of a PC game and a console game, while the other argument revolves around what a certain word's definition actually means.

[SL1M DADDY]

They're two different topics. You can't compare graphics between dedicated hardware and PC's, it's just silly and I would hope that even a devout Xbox fanboy like yourself would understand that. When it comes to exclusives, the very meaning of the word is blown out of the water every time MS tries to push a game as exclusive to Xbox 360 (and PC)... You can't call a game exclusive to any one platform when it is in fact out for another. It's so simple even a monkey should see it... You can see it right?

[soxfan2005]

@ 1.32 - where do you get the impression that I'm using PC to fight 360's battles? I'll admit that the PS3 is capable of slightly better graphics, but remember, it came out a year later and cost $200-$300 more - it should have slightly better graphics. That doesn't mean that the 360 can't hold it's own graphically. MW2, as well as many other games, prove that quite well.

@ slimdaddy - the meaning of "exclusive" depends on whether you consider the PC to be a platform in the same context as a PS3 or 360. Do you? If you do, then you are right, some 360 exclusives are not really exclusives. However, in that case you also would have to admit that Uncharted 2 does NOT have the best graphics, because some PC games DO in fact look better. Just because you think it's silly to compare PC and PS3 graphics (probably because it destroys the "PS3 has the best graphics" arguement) doesn't make it true. Even a monkey knows you can't have it both ways. You can see it, right?

[ikral]

MW2 could be close, to Halo 3. To U2, as far as Marco Polo went from Italy.

[Greywulf]

LoL.. thats a self face palm guys..You admit theres absolutely NOTHING ON THE 360 that can touch UC, let alone KZ2 & Uncharted2. Or hell.. even Flower.

Look, when we talk sales of DLC and 1.5 rehashes of games.. thats when you guys can beat your chests...When we are talking about graphics of "next gen" consoles, just pipe down and keep pretending the unreal engine looks good.

I admit, Crysis is more advanced than UC2. But thats it, and it certainly isn't anything coming from the HDDless underpowered 360's development camp that only looks good when compared to someone doing a bad job with a port.

And before the same lame arguments show up... NO GRAPHICS AREN'T THE END ALL OF GAMING, NO graphics isn't more important than gameplay. NO, NO, NO. But DON'T bring up graphics, if you can't back it up with anything but PC games that you cant play because PC gamers have to upgrade ever minute for videocards remember?

Buh buh.. Alan WAKE!! 5 years later and it looks like dig dug.

MS spends its money on DLC & Advertising. Sony spends their $ on games.

[bnaked]

This is possibly the most hilarious topic i've ever read.

edit: OMG the article is actually more hilarious..

[soxfan2005]

Who admits that "nothing" on 360 can compare to KZ2, UC2, etc?? Those games have slightly better graphics than 360 exclusives, that's it. You make an extremely broad generalization there.

Graphics matter most to you - you've made that quite clear in your comments during the past year.

[pangitkqb]

Is it not a game platform? Why is it morally wrong to point out that if you really want top notch visuals, buy a top notch PC?

Look, I've been loving Uncharted 2 on my PS3 and admire what Naughty Dog has accomplished visually. It's a fun, attractive game. HOWEVER, it doesn't compare at all to numerous games running on maximum settings on my PC.

Almost every PC game lets me choose the quality of a games draw-distance, lighting, shaders, textures, shadow, anti-aliasing, vsynch, and more. Because i am running a high end PC i put all of them on maximum quality. No console can touch that and I say it with total love for my 360 and PS3.

Seriously, it is ridiculous that in speaking of visuals that PC is taboo.

[bnaked]

Crysis is the most photorealistic game, but not the best looking game imo! Not because i am a PS3 fan, just because the art design is soo much better in Uncharted 2, wow look at the village! Just beautyful..

@soxfan

No, that's not true! You can say: Uncharted 1 looks slightly better than Gears 2 if you compare them, but

Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 are clearly in another league, you can't deny it..

[Millah]

Hell....No....

I love MW, and I can't wait for MW2, but to be honest MW does not have a very powerful engine. Which is why it can actually run very well on a medium PC setup. I've already played MW2 early on a friends flashed 360, and the graphics are nowhere near UC2.

IW has a lot of great little tricks they do to make the game look better, but the engine itself is still not very powerful. When you look at things like the effects, animations, etc. it actually looks last-gen. Uncharted 2 easily beats MW2 in every category...character models, animations, effects, lighting, textures, etc. I've played both on the exact same TV.

[Greywulf]

So what games on the 360 does UC2/KZ2/UC1/GT5p/LBP/MGS4 look "slightly" better than? Crysis looks "slightly" better than UC2?

this should be good.

Which unreal engine game are you going to name?

[Aquanox]

MW2 runs @ 60Fps, Uncharted @ 30Fps. For every frame rendered in Uncharted, MW2 renders 2.

[rockleex]

Its not taboo to bring up PC when talking about graphics.

But there are important differences between PC and consoles. PCs can always be upgraded and developers aren't limited to specific specs for years.

Once again, read my previous comment about the stock car and the upgradable car. The car that is allowed to be tuned up will eventually beat the stock car in every which way. But is that something to be proud of when you beat a stock car with your tuned up car in a race? -_-

@Aquanox

Should we bring up resolution, polygons, textures, animations, shaders, lighting, physics, particle effects, smoke, etc?

Especially when you consider that a lot of COD's "smoke" effects are actually just textures being rotated in mid-air.

[Ausbo]

no multiplatform game can look as good as uncharted

In fact no exclusive(sony or microsoft)can come close to this game. and don't say killzone, because that was color deficient

[Ausbo]

don't say uncharted 1 looked better than gears 2, because that is simply not true. Gears 2 looks better than even some sony exclusives imo. However, i will agree that uncharted 2 and killzone are in a leauge of their own.

[Marceles]

A better comparision would be BFBC 2 vs. Uncharted 2, and even that won't look better.

[sikbeta]

"not sure about MW2 beating Uc2 in graphics, but it might be really close!"

WHAT!? I tell you in a nice way:

NOT EVEN CLOSE

[edgeofblade]

As long as it locks 60 fps, it's superior in my mind. I'll take framerate over "cinematic quality" any day. I prefer my games to play like the best game they can... not the best movie they can.

[mal_tez92]

COD isn't even in the same league as Uncharted 2 or Killzone 2. I think Killzone 2 will win best graphics and game of the year will be Uncharted 2. But, MW2 may be able to beat Uncharted 2 for GOTY, I'm guessing it won't due to Uncharted beating it at E3

[Montrealien]

I have seen both, and MW 2 sure feels and looks a lot more intense then Uncharted 2, and its looking damn good that's for sure.

[ape007]

we all know that uncharted 2 gfx is better than mw2 of course but still mw is a great looking game that runs at 60fps,every game has its own look and feeling

mw2 and uncharted 2 are by far the 2 best games in this year,everyone knows that,to me I like mw better,im a cod 4 fanboy

....Imagine just Imagine that IW debut a new engine that match the quality of kz2,uncharted 2 or better,can you imagine how amazing this mw gonna be,cause to me IW is a bit more talented or on par with naughty dog and waaay more talented than gurella games(Like I said imagine cod with kz2 gfx,kz will not stand a chance)

[ShadowRyuX]

That is all
-walks away-

[The Lazy One]

long answer: not at all.

[Xbox Avatars Shoe]

In some ways, Halo 3 and ODST look better than MW2 and that's saying a lot! Here's the comparison between the Halo, CoD and Uncharted 2 engines:

-Both have jaggies.
-Both run sub-HD.
-Both are out-dated and suck by todays standards.

-Halo's textures actually look pretty good up close.
-Halo's lighting is good and realistic.

-CoD's textures look pixely as hell within 15 feet of a wall.
-CoD's contrast is really messed up! A lot of things are way too bright or way to dark no matter what your TV settings are.

-U2's engine is just about perfect.
-NO jaggies.
-Native 720p.
-Awesome textures no matter how close or far you are.
-Superb lighting.
-Tons of detail everywhere.
-Very far draw-distance.
-The lists goes on and on...

The MW2 engine looked good in 2007 but it looked like crap compared the the 2008 games and it looks terrible compared to KZ2 and U2. It's not even close. I think even Drake's Fortune's graphics are better than MW2's.

[nycredude]

soxfan2005

Just give it up already and face the facts, you chose the wrong console and the wrong team to root for. Live with it and stop being a hater. Btw for someone who doesn't even own a Ps3 you sure love commenting on it.

I prefer the ps3 but at least I also own a 360. When you buy a Ps3 then I'll start taking you more seriously. Until then you sound like a virgin trying to talk about sex, you haven't a clue.

And I am sick of people bringing Crisis up everytime to compare with a Ps3 game. Don't you PC people have any other game besides a 3 year old game to use as a graphics benchmark? Since Crisis what other game can you hang your hat on? Seriously...

[WonderboyIII]

I was wowed by uncharted 2 graphics, but wasnt wowed by the cod4 mw2 graphics. MW2 is a great game though, you will enjoy its atmosphere, intensity, weapons, and direction. But graphically the only pro it has on uncharted 2 is the 60fps.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

Did you guys even watch the MW2 trailers? The game hasn't progressed in terms of graphics.

[dragunrising]

Since when did MW2 become a graphical knockout? I have seen a few recent shots and it looks pretty decent. Uncharted 2 quality? I'm going to disagree.

[O2_Addict]

hits = ad revenue

That's how websites like gamingbolt, N4G, IGN, Gamespot, etc. make a profit.

[Bodyboarder_VGamer]

MW2 here: http://www.justin.tv/flipno... right now.For me it looks exactly the same as the first...

Other streams:

http://www.justin.tv/flipno...
http://www.justin.tv/exekin...
http://www.justin.tv/jman10...
http://www.justin.tv/xakuti...

[darkmurder]

More like can flameboy site beat IGN for quality newsreading? Answer is no.

[DaTruth]

That is what I'm calling them for now on. Whoring yourself out for hits! Making an article of an opinion that you know is not true and you would never speak of in front of your friends, knowing they would laugh you out of the room; But for a couple of bucks from a few flamebait hits, they'll write anything!

[ShadowCK]

You guys are unbelievable. Disagreeing with anyone who happens to think Modern Warfare 2 is superior to Uncharted 2 in the graphic department? Can't you f*cking respect each others opinions without acting like a group of girls?

I know I'm going to get tons of disagrees for this, but Uncharted 2 is nothing more than a glorified Gears of war clone with platforming and shall never be on the level of games like Halo, GTA IV or Gears due to it's lack of originality. The gameplay is jacked right from Gears, everything down to how the weapon select looks. It's sort of a mix of a bunch of games that already exist, and that's working against it. The amount of 10/10s it has gotten is ridiculous and makes me question humanity.

And I'm sorry, but Crysis 2 will obliterate Uncharted 2 in the graphic department. If you can't admit that, then you're a damn fool.

[FlameBaitGod]

dude you should just make a new account man, you just rlly made ur self look rlly dumb. Its so sad to watch you this desperate to defend the 360 by using the PC and as for ShadowCK, he just has damage control. SO its normal to see stuff like that from him, I mean you just know he has it when he says GTA and Gears have originality. You clearly haven't been playing for long to have just said that or know nothing about gaming

[FACTUAL evidence]

Soxfan2005 is in a delusional state...I'm sorry...you said ps3 exclusives are slightly better?.....hmmm let lens be the judge.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Unending Punishment]

Modern Warfare 2 will beat Uncharted 2.

Very easily.

Especially in graphics.

[ultimolu]

...No it won't. -_-

Seriously, comparing a multiplatform to an exclusive?! When will the media learn?!

[vhero]

MW2 doesn't look better than gears of war never mind uncharted what a fanboy article! They know no 360 exclusive will get GOTY so they hoping a multiplat will instead lol so funny

[TotalPS3Fanboy]

"Funny how PS3 fans have no problem bringing up PC when talking about 360 "exclusives", yet when the graphics arguement is brought up, specifically Crysis, suddenly PC doesn't count."

That's because a PC has 8GB of ram. Try running Crysis on only 512MB of ram and see how sh*tty Crysis will look. And, had the PS3 have 8 GB of ram too, then Uncharted 2, utilizing those 8GB of ram, would beat all the non-living sh*t out of Crysis, and then proceed to force Crysis to eat it all.

"But but but MW2 renders at 60 fps"

It doesn't matter how many frames MW2 renders per second. MW2 can render at 1,000,000 frames per second, but those low resolution textures aren't going to look any better.

[gameseveryday]

But the question is will ut look better than UC2....I really doubt!

[getonmylev3l]

being a cod fan i still laughed at the title. They're light years away from beating UC2 hahaha

[Marojado]

If you don't agree in the first place, then why did you write the article?

[gameseveryday]

I guess MW2 has a great graphics, but i really dont see it setting new benchmarks. naughty Dog themselves told that their animations are unmatched.

[williamkenny]

Yeah, the graphics are not going to be spectacular I think, but they will be above par.

[MiloGarret]

The gfx will look great, especially considering the game runs at 60 frames per second. Makes you wonder what the game had looked like if it ran at 30 fps, like UC2, KZ2 or GeoW2.

[Ziriux]

You cant compare the two, Uncharted 2 is way bigger and still looks perfect.

[Sevir04]

They've got to ditch that engine and start a new and take 3 years before they can hit it's stride. or they can licsense the Framework MT 2.0 from Capcom because it is the BEST 3rd part Midlleware engine out right now. It Looks hella better than the UE3 and COD4's engine.

the only other one i know tahtrivals that is Rage's Tech 5 from ID.

still None Comes close to uncharted 2's NDE2.0 with KZ's diferred Render engine in close second. I simply cant wait.

Still MW2 looks great.

[MetalGearRising]

Let the pathetic Sony army march in and say otherwise anything against uncharted 2 is mentioned the sobbing baboons will eat your bubbles away. To me MW2 surpasses Uncharted 2 graphics.

[nolifeking]

You're an idiot, of course they would.

[talltony]

No duh, thats cause ur in denial!

[tdrules]

well seeing as Uncharted 2 has Ambient Occlusion, Havok Physics and runs at 720p, its quite obvious.
and no, graphics do not equal framerate

[XKRUCI8]

Well, it's bound to happen. It's the typical response from PS3 fanboys. Fanboys of the PS3 are way more annoying than fanboys of the 360, and there's a ton of stupid 360 fanboys out there. I really don't understand why the PS3 faags always are so in a rush to come in here and defend their damn perfect exclusives. What's so bad about the games that they gotta repeat the samecrap over and over, on every article on N4G. Why aren't they playing their AAA games, instead of defending their honour?
I'll be playing my Uncharted 2, Forza 3, Ratchet and Clank and Halo: ODST, and tons of multiplatforms, instead of acting like a fanboy on here.

Check out what my non-fanboy comments have done to my bubble count, simply for criticizing the views of fanboys.. LOL

[peeps]

that first sentence doesn't make sense

[Partisan]

if not then go back to your hole. Uncharted 2 is not just graphics interactive grass, water , physics , high resolution texture , animation , all this come to life. i have MW1 graphics good, but its not interactive as UC2 like physics,animation,interactive grass,water,high resolution texture. But i don't care im buying MW2 im gonna enjoy it like i enjoy UC2. only fanboys disagree

[oldsnayke]

The PS3 has a higher graphic processor... therefore able to support better graphics. The 360 beats PS3 in terms of quality of the games and online support, but in terms of graphics and pure system specs... it demolishes the 360.

[The real killer]

you are a lunatic.

[ZBlacktt]

So you own a PS3 and have played UC2? Or are you just posting random off the wall stuff again? Because I take it you've played MW2 right. Since you seem to have the answers.

[NewZealander]

you have no right saying witch game has better graphics unless you have actually played both games, so many people like to give a comparison without playing the source material, really lame!

[4point7BillionLoss]

and no one uses it except old men with female avatars

MW2 is a real mans game ...

[ultimolu]

That's because that's the only game you idiot 360 fanbots will play anyway.

[Stevo35]

Sorry, but judging a game by graphics alone is just stupid. Game play is the key to a real good game, let see how MW2 does compared to UC2.

[Assassin Nawabi]

no way in hell!

[Ares84PS3]

No sir....it did not. Not even close.

[Mindboggle]

I love it when i see an intelligent response from someone who's played MW2 and compared the two.

Oh wait...You haven't, because its not out..

[Polycarp]

@mindboggle: That is what screens are for.

[Ares84PS3]

Just go online and compare two screenshots of each game and you'll see. Uncharted 2 runs in native 720p while MW2 only upscales to that. I can't remember the exact number but MW2 runs in 644p or something strange number like that. Just by this alone there is no way to compare the two. Well if that's not enough than as I said just look at screenshots of both. You are intelligent enough to do that right? By doing this you will see what I mean.

[MiloGarret]

Half life 2 on my pc runs on 1920 x 1080. So that makes it better than both..?

Modern Warfare 2 won't look better than UC2 in most people's eyes (it's subjective you know), but don't bring up ridiculous arguments.

[silvacrest]

the street date has been broken, for all you no he has played both

[HDgamer]

Street date has been broken and I have my copy. Well technically I do. It's a really good game but the graphics are nowhere near uncharted 2, despite the different art directions and it's a multiplatform game it's not going to have the same or above influential graphics of uncharted 2 or even killzone 2.

[BYE]

It can't even beat Uncharted 1 so no point in even asking that kind of question.

[gameseveryday]

I guess you can always play in easy mode buddy :)

[BYE]

You must be "t"-blind.

[crazyturkey]

It can't even compete with RE5 or Killzone 2 even the PC version can't; in graphics that is. Gameplay and story who knows though.

[sashimi]

So you see when someone eats too many special brownies this is what happens...MW2 beating UC2 in graphics hahahaha......right.....

[i like jam]

is a flipping joke or something??!?!?

i cant believe people even think this

[OpiZA]

If they gave the engine a bigger overhaul, juiced things up and capped the fps at 30. then maybe

[nolifeking]

The worst kind of fanboy is the one who tries and make one camp look better than the the other regardless of how equally stupid they are. Am I right Xkruc?

[XKRUCI8]

It's pretty obvious which console has the most fanboys on here by just looking at this comments section on nearly all the articles. PS3 fanboys always bad mouth the 360 and the amount of PS3 fanboys doing that compared to 360 fanboys is a very big difference.

I'm not really saying that one fanboy is worse than the other, but with the numbers in PS3's favour and seeing all the comments, day in and day out about the same thing, gets old and annoying really fast. I would much rather see a logical response on here any day, over a fanboy comment about any console.

AND IM DOWNN TO ONE BUBBLE. LOL.

[Venatus-Deus]

Come on dude... Seriously? You’re in the Open zone. What do you expect?

If it gets old and annoying really fast why are you looking at these comments?

Having a conversation with you reminds me a lot about the ending in the movie se7en. You know the bit in the car when Brad Pitt asks Morgan Freeman if crazy actually people know their crazy while Kevin Spacey sits calmly in the back. Watch it... Call it an object lesson in self awareness.

[mustash2003]

Good one gamingbolt:)!!!.....oh...you aren't kidding.....oh...Epic fail

[felidae]

eeehm ... NO!

[divideby0]

that would be great if it did.
I thought it was already known (?????) that MW will not even run at 720p, by those pixel counters (???)

IMO, I highly doubt that MW will be better looking than UC2. At least from all I have seen so far..not even that close

[hakis86]

Very doubtful =)

[TheBand1t]

lol

[dkgshiz]

so no reason to discuss it.

[Partisan]

i for got to mention how colorful and vibrant UC2

[GameScrubs]

I think it will

[Caffo01]

/sarc or serious?

[GameScrubs]

serious

I like Ratchet and Clank graphics more than Uncharted
I like Brutal Legend graphics more than Uncharted
I like Gears of War graphics more than Uncharted

For me graphics are not just about photo realism, but what the artist does to the game that makes it appealing.

It's not about how many polygons it pushes or what engine it uses. Those that say the game is better cuz it pushes more polygons or is using an older engine are missing the point IMO.

I didn't drink the Uncharted coolaid. I played the game, enjoyed it and moved on. I still don't think is GoTY until I see Assassins Creed 2 and MW2.

I will probably loose all my bubbles for disagreeing. But my post was to see if people here on n4g shut users up for silly opinions or actual debates.

Couldn't care less about the agree/disagrees, the bubble system is what annoys me on n4g.

[Jaces]

"For me graphics are not just about photo realism, but what the artist does to the game that makes it appealing."

Do explain, I'm curious.

[silvacrest]

unless you have the game i dont even understand how you could say that

[MiloGarret]

Though I don't agree with his preferences, I can appreciate his standpoint. Pixels don't make the gfx, it's the effects, the amount of details, the lighting, etc. I still think COD4 is a beautiful game, even after seeing and playing games which are considered better looking by the gaming populace.

One of the most beautiful games I've ever seen is KZ2. To me, what made KZ2 so impressive wasn't the pixels, but the lighting, use (or not-use) of colors, animations and overall effects (like wind etc).

MW2 and UC2 are very different in their aesthetics, one goes for ultrarealism, while the other goes for a slightly cartoony look, comparing them is kind of silly tbh. Generally I prefer the ones that go for realism, but UC2 blew me away. In the end, it all boils down to taste.

[divideby0]

Brutal legends and GOW 2 better than UC2 graphics.....wow...

psst..No Kool Aid needed...just good vision is needed.

[Caffo01]

uncharted 2 is not "graphically real"...it's cartoonish!the thing i like more of that graphic are the colors and the light!it's really something lost this gen, it was all dark in games like killzone 2, Gears, resistance etc..
anyway you have your opinion and i have mine..

Edit: disagree?what's wrong with what i said? O_o

[GameScrubs]

OK i'll waste my last bubble to explain what I consider to be good graphics. I'll probably lose it anyways.

Good example for me is Brutal Legend. The game is goofy looking, with the head bangers, the out of proportion body of Eddie Rigs and the over exaggerated facial expressions.

But for me the game didn't miss anything in terms of graphics. I loved stopping to see the worlds colors, how they created album covers into real monuments and the voice over with facial expressions where top notch.

I enjoyed every minute of it graphically. It had its issues with popins and screen tearing but the graphics and gameplay where there.

Same thing with Gears of War. It might all be dark colors and browns but the artist made the world really engaging for me.

So from my point of view I think MW2 can beat Uncharted. I'm not saying UC2 graphics are bad, it's an impressive game, but for me the other games I played had a lasting appeal in terms of me going aaaaaaaaaah that looks bad ass.

[Caffo01]

don't agree with you but i respect your opinion because you explained it!bye^^

[Jaces]

I agree with you for the most part.

I absolutely love the lighting in most games and it's the one thing that catches my eye the most. Color is a plus too, a big plus.

I'm tired of all the grey and bleh in games. I want vibrant colors with second to none lighting. Some say U2 was cartoonish...well if you want cartoonish then I suggest you take a look at R&C Future: ACiT.

Artistic design in games are great but only if you make them pop.

[mjolliffe]

NOT A HOPE IN HELL. UNCHARTED BY FAR THE WINNER HERE.

[Crystallis]

WTF!! MW2 looks like MW1.5 in terms of graphics. For god sakes the first Uncharted looks miles better then MW2. Who writes these stupid articles?

[Caffo01]

lol is this a joke?

[MetalGearBear]

Uncharted2>Killzone2>MW2 .
Nuff Said.

[NJShadow]

Modern Warfare 2 looks awesome, but the graphics can't even tough Uncharted 2.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Hahaha! Difference is MW2 cutscenes look as good as UC2 gameplay. Uncharted 2 looks ridiculously good

[gameseveryday]

I guess that one statement really wraps it up!

[Bilbo_bobbins]

one word: No

[TheMailman]

hahahahaha I can´t stop laughing... That is what I call blind fanboyism...

[FwanK]

Best joke ever

[Memo-Xen x3100]

MW2 will not beat U2 in the graphics department.

[Ninjamonkey82]

MW2 is just a bit of an improvment on a two year old game.

[spinbot_lv1]

honestly,have you seen the textures, the particles effects , the explosions and physics in mw2? honestly did you really want compare them to uncharted2?
it's a joke.MW2 is a great game but technically killzone 2 and Uncharted2 wins hands down.

[nolifeking]

Who knows, maybe this was done to show how the cod engine has failed to live up to current standards or it could be the more obvious hit magnet.

[gears22]

The question is; can it beat Killzone 2? let alone u2

[nolifeking]

This "article" is best served ignored.

[va_bank]

Falmebait successful. Thank you all for your time.

Tune in next week for "Can Hanna Montana's game be the new Zelda?". We really need the hits.

[SnakeShady]

run on the same engine of mw1. how could a 2 yers old engine beat the uncharted engine? please, don't be so stupid.

[nolifeking]

To be fair, the Uncharted engine is also 2yrs old. Not sure if that puts MW2 in a deeper hole, but you get my point.

[Caffo01]

u2 engine has been refined a lot!it could be seen as a new engine as ND worked hard to improve it...that cannot be said for IW:they could have done it but they didn't..why?i think it's laziness!they know the game will sell like hot cakes even if it is MW with new maps and slightly improved gameplay...the game will be good but i think it's like what bungie and microsoft did with halo:odst!
i will get lot of disagrees but that is my opinion..

[rawd]

hahaha i needed a good laugh today

[xcox]

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA!

good try xb!tches, but isn't this a little preemptive desperation?

[CobraKai]

maybe if it was running in native 1080p

[LevDog]

Wow.. I did not just wake up to this kind of story.. I havent even had my coffee yet..

[bigjclassic]

Uncharted 2 graphics can't even touch KZ2 graphics, let alone having MW2 being compared to either.

For me it goes:
Crysis
Killzone 2
Uncharted 2- looks great but lacks little details that KZ2 does.
in that order.

[silvacrest]

doesn't have to beat UC1 then KZ2 before it can jump to UC2?

im even wondering if it could beat MGS4 to be honest

[bjornbear]

Try going up against Killzone 2 first.

Doesn't mean it won't look great =)

[divideby0]

the site (GB) is just like the article, no substance, not worthy of a click

[Monk3y]

No.

[aliens]

Uncharted 2 graphics are so overrated. Resident Evil 5 and Modern Warfare 2 looks just as good as Uncharted 2.

[nolifeking]

You fail at vision my good man.

[aliens]

Actually my vision is just fine. It's just you who can't face the truth.

[shysun]

No hes right, MW2 is a great game but not even close to UC2. Check yourself.

[aliens]

These annoying unruly brats does not know what they are talking about.

I have Uncharted 2 and Resident Evil 5. They both look really good, and just as good. And I do not doubt that Modern Warfare 2 will look just as good, or even better.

You can't say that I'm wrong. I have the games(not modern warfare 2), it's my opinion. It's your opinion if you think Uncharted 2 is better.

My vision is perfect, stop making out bullshit.

[shysun]

I feel you and I have all 3 games MW2 on 360 but I still see UC2 as the clear victor. RE5 looks good but its dark and there's like 3 colors in the game. Small areas to look at, tight caves, its not a technical feet at all. I could go on an on but I wont. Good day sir.

[va_bank]

But he succeeds at trolling.

[HDgamer]

Doesn't look just as good, Unreal engine has aged. Uncharted 2 is pretty much the new graphics king on consoles. Before that it was Killzone 2.

[dredgewalker]

Sure MW still looks good but not Uncharted good. Im a fan of both games but Uncharted 2 beats MW2 in graphics, gameplay, presentation, polish, replayability (in single player mode), story, character and a lot of developers love....oh and i forgot the pricing.

[shysun]

No way in hell! Not even the biggest PS3 hater would make such a crazy claim!

[ryguy3309]

If its suck a good game how come its selling like crap compared with cod games or gears or halo?

[Marojado]

*standard response*

1) Wii Fit has sold over 22.5 million copies, what's your point?

Sales =/= a good game.

2) Besides, Uncharted 2 is selling just fine. Over 1 million sales in the first week, and many people such as myself got it after.

Don't get me wrong, I love Gears, and it is testament that good games do sell well, but the fact you've previously gloated about ODST sales figures over PS3 figures show your console preferences. You probably shouldn't comment on whether or not a game is good if you don't have the capacity to play it.

[xtremeimport]

im really curious as to who will win GOTY...this or UNcharted.

[rawrockkillz]

No I do not.

[ps3gamer187]

WTF MAN THTS JUST RETARDED MW2 IS JUST A LITTLE LEAP FROM COD4 IN THE GRAFIX DEPARTMENT AND I NO I ALREADY HAVE THEM BOTH

[maverick1191]

i lol'd at the title article ive seen gameplay at my mates house (modded 360) and its no way near better than U2 and thats from someone who's played both games

cant wait to get mw2 on ps3 on tuesday though

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Yeah uh I highly doubt that. Uncharted 2 has the best graphics on a console.

[nolifeking]

I can play the "It's my opinion game" too. Let's see, I have Super Street Fighter2(SNES) and blazeblue(PS3) and in my opinion SF2 looks just as good if not better than BB. It's my opinion and regardless of how ridiculous it sounds, I'm right because it's my opinion. You sound like clown shoes.

[Marojado]

Look at his previous comments and you'll see this:

"Too Human was one of the best games of this generation"

The guy either likes to stir up controversy or his taste is clearly very different from many other peoples. Just leave him to it.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Not happening. The graphics of UC2 aren't the only thing that make them AAA+++. The animations in UC2 are unparalleled, and I guarantee that MW2 won't top them. Not to mention the level of detail in the cutscenes and other presentational elements. Sorry non-PS3 owners, if you want the #1 visual game on the market, you gotta get a PS3.

[Jamaicangmr]

Did MW2 go over a hugh overhaul in the past 2 days because i don't even see how this article makes any sense. Unless they are to be funny ofcourse.

[djreplay]

Should have gone to specsavers

[Karlnag3]

YES! Bubs up xD

[Obama]

Joke article? This shouldn't even be in discussion as UC2 clearly won.

[DarkTower805]

Another "Let's make a stupid article to get hits" from Gamingbolt.

Didn't even bother reading it.

[Omega Zues]

gamingbolt.com desperate much?

[jmd749]

i swear, these types of articles should have to pay to be displayed on n4g.

[fadeawayjae]

this just makes me laugh on how they compare it to Uncharted 2

[crazydrummerlad1]

THIS STORY IS ONLY GETTING HITS BECAUSE OF HOW RIDICULOUS IT IS!!!! HAHAHAHA mw2 dont even look better than killzone 2. not close at all. however mw2 is gonna b all bout gameplay n that wat makes it stand out from da crowd. not graphics

[Cajun Chicken]

No.

[NicCageMYHero]

No, Absolutely not.

[MK24ever]

By the GOW III demo, and man, I LOVED UC2, but God of War looks amazing, the lightning effects are mind blowing, as everything else on that demo, and in recent news the game is supposed to look much better than the demo.

[Stinger_209]

i never knew it was april fool's

[Neo604]

They act like mw2 is xbox exclusive. Sound like it look better than gear of war.

[ipe]

1.it has to be in hd first
2.its multiplat,it uses 2 cell cores,uncharted uses 6 cores

so NO

[Neo604]

They treat mw2 like an xbox exclusive.

[Barragan]

i still dont see what looks so great about it, and it doesnt look better than the best looking ps3 exclusives, unless its surpassed cgi or something

[Barragan]

anyone that says so should have their eyes taken from them

[Barragan]

most people (brainwashed) will say best looking console game, these are pc fans, but anyway modern warfare 2s engine is very nice looking and looks alot better looking than modern warfare 1s

[Digitaldude]

This is blind fanboyism for a game.
MW2 is not the next Jesus, just a sequel to a good shooter.

[rukia_chan]

lollllllll killzone 2 DESTROY this generic game and uc2 steps on the head of this game. mw2 is overrated and overhyped...

nuff said.

[DJ]

Hell no.

[Barragan]

when i find an ounce of truth in your post, then ill message ya

[Karlnag3]

no.

[Silent]

First of all its a mutli-plat. No mutli-plat games are gonna look better than UC2. This discussion is over. :)

[hugoboss]

to me u surpassed any troll on this site.open zone is your house pathetic human be

[Pika-pie]

Its probably not going to be Uncharted 2 in the graphics department but its certainly going to give it a run for its money in the gameplay and overall fun factor department.

[BurninDragon08]

This article must have been posted for laughs. Or by someone who knows absolutely nothing about graphics or games for that matter. Anyways, Modern Warfare 2 won't be even be on the level of Killzone 2 in graphics. But don't get anything twisted, I'm picking up MW2 first day and will enjoy the great story mode and awesome online play.

[tripewire]

Added to list of sites that write stupid question headlines: Gamingbolt.

And NO!

[Gago]

MW2 runs at 60 fps, uncharted 2 runs at 30 fps

60 fps shows you 2x the animation, you react 2x as fast, and its much more life like as it delivers extremely smooth animation

and still MW2 looks great despite having to render twice as many frame per second on screen

[Jigga69]

Call Of Duty 6 is 600p. To tell the truth I'm playing right now to Killzone 2 online and I don't think MW2 can reach the graphic and the elements in it. And I haven't seen any game better than Uncharted 2. 60fps ? MW2 ? For a sub HD game I hope.

[Drake64]

bullshit, prove that mw 2 runs at 60 fps, mayb on the ps3 but definitely not on the 360

uncharted 2 runs over 30 fps i'm sure.

[nolifeking]

This comment just seems so wrong. 60fps gives you 2x the animation? How could that work if the animation sucks? React 2x faster? I react the same as any shooter, my hands don't suddenly get faster because of fps.

@Drake64: MW2 is in fact running at 60fps. That sir is a fact that you should have known if you were going to comment on this article.

[HDgamer]

It is that simple, just because it's running at 60FPS doesn't mean it's going to do more than Uncharted 2, have you even played that game? Even at 30fps it's doing a hell of a lot more than modern warfare 2.

[Gago]

doesn't matter even if the animation sucked (MW2 is probably the best animated shooter ever BTW) you still see 2x the animation

and yes you react 2x as fast, thats why 60 fps is a standard in racing games, fighters, action games, and slowly fps games

there is a reason games like GT5, Forza, DMC, Ninja gaiden, Tekken, DOA, SSBB (just to name a few) all run at 60 fps

ever heard of anyone playing Counter strike below 60 fps?

no, cuz if you did the game would seem laggy and you would get raped

@ above

lol what game have you been playing?

U2 looks nice, no argument there, but MW2 has loads more stuff on screen

how many enemies max on screnn are in U2? 6?

MW2 has like 20, even more in some parts

all in a battlefield environment with sh!t exploding and gun fights everywhere while helicopters are flying around

[HDgamer]

Now I know you have never played Uncharted 2 or even know what you're talking about. Pretty much you're just reaching here. Modern warfare 2 doesn't have 20 enemies on the screen. Uncharted 2 does. A train to catch and Convoy chase. It has tons of things going on just for 30FPS.
http://www.youtube.com/watc...
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

You just owned yourself with this line.

all in a battlefield environment with sh!t exploding and gun fights everywhere while helicopters are flying around

Hmm uncharted 2 has that.

[MegaPowa]

who cares i still think modern warfare looks cooler in terms of gameplay and all the cool level designs I've seen in the campaign

[HDgamer]

Funny how you disagree but fail to prove me wrong. Really thats just funny

[n4gno]

KAgo, forget uncharted 2 seconds....killzone says hello, and it would be better in all departments you are talking about (more stuff on screen, enemies max, fx, lights, animation, etc)

[AliTheBrit19]

LMFAO

I love reading comments on here, you guys clearly have no idea what you are talking about

And no idea what makes up graphics, and textures, lighting, physics, frame rates etc. or the differences between them

I do, hell I'm studying it

Now, I'm not saying MW2 looks better, or agreeing with the article

I'm just saying you're all idiots :) apart from a few.

[Salta_nelas]

A joke obviously. MW2 looks good but outdated by today´s standards. Battlefield Bad company 2 has better graphics. Trying to compare MW2 with U2 is a huge fail and a sad attempt to generate hype.

[The real killer]

OpenGL, i agree with your this time.

You are right, graphics are very impressed but the animation is garbage indeed, even Killzone 2 visual are better.

I have GeForce GTX 295 and play Crysis with the highs settings, but Uncharted 2 is in aspect far better than Crysis. And i'm a PC gamer and no freaking PS3 fan.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

...just look like 'MW1'??? Nah it won't look better than 'Uncharted 2' or 'KillZone 2'!!! ;)
ChatBots DREAMING AGAIN Me'thinks!!! ;-D

They(ChatBots were hoping)said 'RE5' looked better than 'KillZone 2' when they came out at the start of this year!!! ;-D

[doa766]

I’ve already beat MW2 single player on the PS3 and I can tell you without a doubt that in no way has better graphics than Uncharted 2, in fact it doesn’t come even close, it’s inferior to Killzone 2 and Metal Gear 4 and it’s just an small step foward from the first modern warfare

the best posible comparison is the difference between the two Gears of War games, the second one has some nice new effects and big monsters but about 90% of the game looks the same as the first one, it’s the same here

on MW2 when you’re walking down some random hall and there’s no explosions or chopper going by it looks exactly the same as the first one, there’s no moment to moment improvement on animations and detailed enviroments like from Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2

and how can we expect anything more when the game has to look the same on the 360? it’s the lowest common denominator pulling down the superior hardware

[Ronick]

having played both games...no way in hell is MW2 better in the graphics department. at least in my eyes from first hand experience. doubters can check trophies for psn: Shadow_Prince

[spektical]

in one word no. MW2 looks like atari's ET when compared to uncharted2, lets be realistic here, and stop being fanboys.

[nolifeking]

60fps makes the animation smoother, it doesn't suddenly make more.

[c4n1f3x]

i cant think of a console game that can over ever will rival the uc2 graphics. mw2 running on a doom 3 mod engine will have no hope as 600p compared to 1080p on any tv. think about it

[Hyrius]

Note for later : never clicking on a gamingbolt link.

[ninetailfox]

MW2 may have a chance at being game of the year in the gameplay department, but why would you even compare it to U2 graphically. That's silly.

[elpresador]

....the diff between 600p and 720p is hardly notciable. And besides, UC2 has a similar prob as kz2, on a lot of textures of the level itself (not the characters) you have low rez textures, i mean most of the levels in kz2 are low res but it is hard to notcie when the only 2 colors used for each level and brown and gray.

Besides, 98% of you people here have not payed MW2 at home on ypur own rig and until you do, you cant say if it is or is not beyond UC2.

I really hate sony fanboys, I will get disagrees with this next statement but in reality, i Thought UC2s graphics, while good, were WAY overhyped. Of course, PS fanboys seem to think that only their opinion matters and cant seem to fathom or understand that not everyone will lap up everyting sony puts out without question.

So, go ahead fantards, disagree away, I know you will even though I was stating an OPINION meaning i am not right nor wrong.

BTW, if you do disagree and take away bubbles for stating my opinion, you will show what an immature child you truely are sense only kids get pissy when you dont agree with them about something as trivial as video games

[doa766]

with all the time and resources that IW has because of the success of the first game we can only imagine what they’ve done if MW2 was a PS3 exclusive

it could’ve been something really spectacular, even surpassing KIllzone and Uncharted but as it stands now they have to accommodate the 360 so the quality will always be as far as the 360 goes leaving a lot of unused potential on the PS3

that’s why the only real next gen games now are PS3 exclusives, multiplataforms reached their limit on this gen:

Assassin’s Creed 2 shows no graphic improvements from the first one (actually has a lot less people on the streets)

Bioshock looks the same as the first one and the character models are smaller

Dark Void and Darksiders games with years of development look vastly inferior to Uncharted 1 or Infamous

if you buy new games for gameplay and state of the art graphics like most people do, you’re only getting one of those with MPs

[DonCorneo]

the 3fixme is gimping this gen graphics-wise and even content-wise. you can only fit so much on 7.5GB dvds

[Crazed]

I played Uc2, and the graphics were ungodly. I seriously doubt IW can pull together enough to even come close. We can't say anything for sure until the launch of MW2, but, good luck IW, you'll need it.

[The real killer]

If Modern Warfare 2 makers will pass Uncharted 2 graphics then they must focused on PS3 only. First build a PS3 engine and then we will see.

[Ashriel]

I thought it was a joke or an ironic article, lol xD

[spongeboob]

No! Next question.

[Anti-Fanboyer]

I can see Bad Company 2 comparing against U2 but MW2?

[BkaY]

you earn a trophy "idiot of the day"

[Trebius]

Idiot of the Month.

[ZBlacktt]

Well lets see. COD is on the Wii. While UC2 is only possible on the PS3. Hmm, so I'm going to go with no...

[beavis4play]

really funny.

[ThaOutKast]

Modern Warfare 2 will be amazing, i may end up enjoying it more than Uncharted 2 even but better graphics? No.

[gtamike123]

Uncharted 2 has the best graphics this Gen, thanks to the power of ps3 cell and the dev team.

[NateDPG]

lol what? MW2 doesn't look much better than then the first, is this a joke or something?

[Barragan]

i dont get it

[tehk1w1]

This is how Gaming Bolt gets hits:

Can [Insert popular title] be better than [Insert popular title} in [Insert Catagory i.e graphics, gameplay, etc.] ?

It's flamebait trash journalism at its worst.

[RetroPietro]

of course i am going to defend their first party titles, but in this case it speaks for itself!. uncharted will easily thrash it, so will uncharted 1, killzone 2 and probably assassins creed 2

[Justin_bristoe]

this article made me laugh out loud really.hahaha

[Unbornkirkster19]

Isnt that why they call it the console wars? I dont ever recall PC being involved in the console wars. Also the PC has an advantage in that you can periodically upgrade your graphics card while consoles are upgraded every couple of years.

[Chnswdchldrn]

the day uncharted 2 loses to MW2 graphically, is the day I castrate myself with a spoon

[seifer085]

nope

[n4gno]

Sixfan, not a single pc game is close to uncharted 2, even on best machines (don't forget they can't make a game playable for only a few gamers) it's just fact.

[Swan]

600p tired engine ummmmmm No!

[Subzero200x]

Lol of course it's a pc game, and uncharted is a limited console game do the math.

"is this a joke?
I mean...do they honestly think MW2 beats UC2 or even gets close???
lmao "

buy a pc and you'll see uncharted is just a tomb raider clone after all, and this gen of consoles have been underwhelming to say the least.

[jaz350z]

is this a joke?
I mean...do they honestly think MW2 beats UC2 or even gets close???
lmao

[xryls]

I just LOL

[aqtrunks]

What about that game that came out back in March... Resident Evil 5?

That game looked pretty slick if you asked me... not GOTY... but maybe best Graphics

[baodeus]

From the looks of things, i don't think MW 2 beat UC2. However, it ran smoother due to 60fps. If just counting looks alone....here are some games that has certain things that look better than UC2.

RE5:

character model > UC2, the animation is crappy though)

Fable 2:

Artistic and especially lighting > UC2.....you haven't seen a sunset in a game until you play fable 2....man i just spend a lot of time looking at the environment in that game

[i_like_ff7]

Its sub hd. Not even in the top 10 list of best looking games this gen.

[Midgard228]

a multiplat game can never beat an exclusive game in graphics, ever! especially not uncharted 2's lol not even uncharted 1's

[xanith83]

The only way it could surpass UC2 is if it was exclusive to the ps3..

uncharted 2 is beautiful but MW 2 isn't even out yet so how can you judge unless you got a final copy of the game?? From what i have seen in movies and pics i think this game looks deadly.

Only ps3 fans would say NO so quickly before even playing the game. They are just scared that some 3rd party game might take best graphics title away from UC 2.

[KilL7roCitY]

MW2 graphics are HORRIBLE !

Killzone 2 & Uncharted2 = best 09 graphics

[OrganicMachine]

maybe on the PC, but not on the consoles..

[Tron_Rocks]

Why even have the discussion now? It is all MOOT until MW2 is released. I don't care which has the better graphics, they are both amazing games and I don't even own a PS3 yet. Yes I am a 360 owner and the PS3 is in my future and there are games I would like to own. But as to have all the arguments now is silly and childish.

I thought for sure this was a HHG article. Thats the first time I was wrong.

[Shmotz]

How people say the graphics arent changed. I thought the new texture streaming helped up everything in the graphics depot. Judging from screenshots it looks like it did.

[ExposingLames]

lol @ cod, a ran into the ground Genre beyond old by a prick publisher that no real gamer should give a penny too

i would take uncharted over COD anyday, atleast its something new and fresh as opposed to FPS thats been overdone and ran into the ground since the N64 days

if you are going to buy MW2 atleast try to buy it used....screw activision

[Zoob]

In a word....No.

In two words...HELL no.

[JTX]

Heres a screen shot from the release trailer for MW2.

So my answer would be the same as zoob...HELL NO. I am still really looking forward to Modern Warfare 2 though.

[Shmotz]

Yes because a quick screen of some youtube video(which never runs at a decent resolution)is actual in game graphics and looks the exact same running off your console onto your HD TV.

/rolleyes

[dorron]

No way...

[A LIVING LEGEND]

17 run from downed helicopter scenes mixed with the occasional "farm at dusk + snipe"= better than "a-z and back again".........then yes.I will stick with NO.however disagreeable.

[doa766]

and it doesn't even come close to Killzone 2 in terms of graphics, and Uncharted 2 is on another level

FACT: 360 is holding back the quality of multiplats

look at Assassin's Creed 2 and tell me if you see any significant improvements over the first one

360 is maxed out and is holding back this gen

[kraze07]

Sh!t, looks like another serious outbreak of fanboyism here on N4G! Shouldn't most of these comments be posted in the open zone?

[Ninjamonkey]

Not going to happen.

Even the people who made the article know this, the title is just there for hits.

[Pwee]

lol no!

[kasasensei]

"Can Call of Duty: MW2 beat Uncharted 2 to achieve the best graphics of 2009?"

hahahahahahahaha

[PimplePopperMD]

MW2 will look only marginally better than MW. You people are idiots.

I certainly hope you dont consider yourself journalists.

Fools.

[dj55555555]

As the DVD has not got enough storage to put the same level of detail

[YLOD Service Tech]

Uncharted 2 is not something to be proud about. Graphics are lacking and the gameplay undoubtedly sucks. MW2 mops the floor with U2.

[ELinktricTears]

there is no way mw2 can look better.. first of all in a multiplat. game, secondly because its on the xbox, the ps3 version of the game has to stoop down to xbox level of graphics so right there its not using the ps3 to full max. unc2 taking takes full advantage of the hardware to produce unparalelled graphics.

[robser73]

This is another fake article created in order to increase the hits in the web site.

Both are the masterpiece in each genre.
But...
UNCHARTED 2 have a spectacular engine graphic with a lot of effect and a native 720p resolution.
MW2 have a great use of SUB-HD resolution (640p native upscaled to 720p) with a lot of memorable mix of action and story.

[SportsFan]

Call of Duty 4: Modern Wafare looked fantastic! The only thing Modern Warfare 2 needs to do is...more of the same! JUST ADD WATER AND STIR! I'm sure this will look great, but all I care about is matching COD4 and World at War.

From what I have seen though, it looks a lot more polished than COD4. However, Uncharted 2 looks INSANE....and I am not sure if Infinity Ward can match it.

[jemmo]

It is amazing how all of sudden it is Uncharted graphics they have to worry about. They need to worry being better that the first Mordern Warfare

[stvn_k26]

Even my wife who is an xbox fangirl says that Uncharted 2 has the BEST graphics she's EVER seen in her whole life. It's a shame that xbots have no respect for themselves when they bring multi titles up to compare PS3 exclusives in terms of graphics. IT IS NOT 2006 ANYMORE, JUST GET OVER IT! PS3 IS THE REAL SYSTEM THIS GEN.

[boss_killa]

gaming bolt?? lol this site must be desperate for hits.

[KRonicBong]

-Uncharted easily wins, the only reason they made this article is because the two games are huge and they want people to debate on the topic.
-But PS3 fans, we know who the real winner is because we have played both games unlike the ShiitBox360 fans who have never even played Uncharted and have no idea that they are missing out on Game Of The Year.
