[SonyOwnsNextYear]

Whats my name?

[callahan09]

I agree.

This game, from the looks of these tiny low-quality photos of a magazine, has the potential to be the best looking console game ever. It seems to me that it looks better than Killzone 2, and much more colorful and pretty surroundings to boot. I'm excited to this video on at the VGA's on Sunday!!!

[SaiyanFury]

Ooo Claudia Black is coming, nice! I always loved her since Farscape one of the most brilliant sci-fi shows of all time. She was good in Conan on PS3 and 360 and no doubt her voice work will complement Uncharted 2 very well.

[InMyOpinion]

Looks great.

That move where he throws the guard over the ledge is copied straight from Splinter Cell. Good thing though cause it's a cool move.

[fuzon]

Uncharted looks better than all games on SUCK BOX 360

sucks to be an XBOT troll since there isnt anything even worth mentioning for x360 in 2009

arent u even ashamed BOT to post here. On one hand we have lifelike games like this in 2009. On the oher u have GAYSEX with GAYLO3 DLC

U2 looks 50X better than all games on SUCK BOX 360

[Magic_The_Celt]

Lmao yeah Jenzo

because the actual phsyical move of throwing a guy was invented by Splinter Cell

hahahaha

[fishd]

At last something readable,woohoo!

Edit: Not that readable damit:(

The level of detail in this pic is mind boggling

http://media.psu.com/media/...

UE3 will explode with that many object on the screen at the same time
;)

[Downtown boogey]

the picture in the left corner of the second pic: Ground on the left.
Body boggling!

[Hellsvacancy]

But the next game has got my attention

I guess i got a hard-on for snow hopefully K2 will also feature it

lookin good Naughty Dog

Edit. @SonySoldier - U put 2gether a cool comment until u used 1 of the 2 forbidden words in the gamer-zone "Xbot" it wont go down to well in here trust me brother i know...

Edit 2. And i guess Omega4 has a hard on for the 360 because he just cant resist having a digg at the Ps3 no matter how little it is "Hopefully this time they can make the platforming elements actually platforming instead of just one jump = success no matter how you go about it" - and Assassins creed was any different

[Foxgod]

oops replied to the wrong person.

really sucks to be a SUCK BOX 360 owner. All games of SUCK BOX 360 loom outdated vs those ps3 games

RIP MS in 2009

[Keele]

Gaylo 3 isn't nearly as gay as Gaystation 3!

[Omega4]

For a game thats using nearly 100% of the PS3's power its suspected to look as good as it does

Hopefully this time they can make the platforming elements actually platforming instead of just one jump = success no matter how you go about it

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

Uncharted 2 isn't even using 100% of the PS3's power. You'd have to be pretty dumb to believe something like that. On the technical side of things, Guerilla claims to have only 60% of the Cell.

[SuperM]

Funny. I was rather annoyed about how several of my jumps wasnt a success. Have you played this game btw?

[Foxgod]

so when will the ps3 use 100 % of its power if uncharted 2 doesnt use it ?

Are you just keeping that myth alive because you are afraid to admit that what the ps3 is showing is no more then equal to what the 360 shows ?

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

@ Foxgod. I'm not blind or delusional like some people here. You could go ahead and believe the percentages nonsense if that makes you sleep better at night but what are you gonna say when God of War 3 comes out and looks better than the game that used 100%? Killzone 2 already does and Guerilla claims to have only used 60% of the Cell. So does Heavy Rain. So will God of War 3.

"Are you just keeping that myth alive because you are afraid to admit that what the ps3 is showing is no more then equal to what the 360 shows?"

Why don't you just go ahead and show me one game on 360 that comes close to Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, and Uncharted 2? You can't, because there are none. I've seen every exclusive on 360 (upcoming and released) and none of them do. I'm quite sick of people like you. We ask for proof and you say "No proof, we just do."

If you wish to talk about outdated engines like Unreal Engine 3, this is not the place for it. We're talking about graphically superior games and Uncharted 2 is one of them. I think you're in the wrong place.

[SonyOwnsNextYear]

foxgod:

i guess you didnt own a ps2...sony graphics always outshine the competition....among many other attributes

[Foxgod]

we will see when once again this year GeoW will get best game of 2008 award, (x play already awarded it to fable2).

Wanna bet that GeoW2 is gonna be crowned best looking game of 2008 ?
Even though every sony fan will deny it, theres no visual difference in terms of quality between Killzone 2 and GeoW2.

At least i am not so lame to start yelling that GeOw2 looks better then anything on the ps3, admit they are equal, because theres no measurement on this planet that can state any quality difference between the two games.

@SonyOwnsNextYear
I did own a ps2, i didnt like it, i had almost every rpg there was for that system, from suikoden to dark cloud to xenosaga to final fantasy to rogue galaxy, they bored me.
That why i got a 360 instead of a ps3.
I loved the psone, and the ps2 was a letdown for me, so i didnt have any trust that the ps3 would offer me any fun games, i was right.

And btw, the ps2 was the weakest last gen console, so both xbox and gamecube had better specs, and better looking games.
I disliked every last gen console thougt.

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

@ Foxgod: Admit they're equal? Is that all you have to say to me? I don't know about you but I live in the real world, not some fairy tale land where Unreal Engine 3 games look better than Killzone 2. If you don't have anything smart to say then don't post.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

"Are you just keeping that myth alive because you are afraid to admit that what the ps3 is showing is no more then equal to what the 360 shows ?"

Are trying to say Killzone 2 and Gran Turismo 5 can be done on the 360? LOL

If you even played GT5P you would easily know the PS3 is graphically more advance than the 360. I'm a PC gamer as well and I have never seen a sim racer on the PC that looks better than GT5P. Remember now GT5P is being rendered natively @ 1280x1080p too with high polygonal exterior and interior car models.

[Foxgod]

You do live in a fairytale, because if you put Geow2 and killzone 2 next to each other, you can only admit they both look amazing.

So your biased with your comments.

And yeah killzone 2 and gt5 can be done on the 360, the specs of both machienes are the same, its like intel and amd, they both have advantages and disadvantages.
360 got better gpu, and ps3 got better cpu.
And both cpu and gpu are important for gaming.

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

Maybe when you get yourself a PS3 you'll see why I can't be impressed by Gears of War 2. I'm not talking about sales, I'm talking about graphics and quite frankly I've seen way too many mind-blowing PS3 games to admit something as laughable as "Gears of War 2 looks amazing."

"And yeah killzone 2 and gt5 can be done on the 360" False.

[Foxgod]

maybe you should play GeoW2 and fable 2 and mass effect.

I played plenty of ps3 games in the local store on a full hd 40 inch television.
It by no means looks better then my 360 on my 42 inch plasma.

And you try to proof its false, killzone hardly got an AI, GeOw2 looks equal in term of gfx, but got a much better AI. (AI absorps a lot of cpu processing power).

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

Can't believe you even brought up Fable 2. Now I know for sure you're living in fairy tale land lol.

Your average 360 game running on outdated engines, inferior hardware and DVD9's. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Just keep waiting for them textures to pop up. Keep telling yourself that Alan Wake on 360 will look as good as the only version that has been shown so far, the PC version. We'll just keep laughing at you. Ghost out.

[rockleex]

Look at the insecurity of 360 fanboys.

You can keep saying Gears has the best graphics while the rest of the videogame industry already acknowledges that Killzone 2 has that crown.

Following right behind Killzone 2 is MGS4 and Uncharted.

[Foxgod]

Mass effect had indeed issue's, because it was rushed.
That doesnt mean every 360 game has it, and if you install mass effect to the hd 99 % of the problems are gone.

Fact is still the game was gorgeous, and is up there with the ps3 library, and that for a 2 years old game.

And abotu fable2, why do you think its xplay's game of the year, once again, you are the one in the fairytale.

And alan wake will indeed look as good as it will on the pc, why ? because its not a graphic powerhouse game, neither was max payne, the may payne dev are all about making a game epic, not about making it great looking.

@above, who is that industry you talk about, even rival devs on the ps3 wont acknowledge killzone has the crown, so you wont have to expect that 360 devs accept that BS.

[Bazookajoe_83]

Killzone 2 dont got any AI? are you high or something? Yes gears of war 2 is really awesome, but you cant make comparison to a game that isnt even released. From what ive seen of KZ2 videos it has some really impressive ai. Just play the games man, it doesnt mather which console they are on.

[vasilisk]

Oh boy you're in denial
quoting IGN about killzone 2: "No online shooter in the console market could possible claim to look better than Killzone 2, or feature more atmosphere and eye for detail. Haters be damned – you'd all best be prepared to chow down on a hefty serving of humble pie on this one..."

Gamespy about AI: "In terms of the AI, Guerrilla called Killzone 2's more of an evolution than an outright change from the previous game. The enemy AI comes at you in waves, and seems adept at recognizing patterns in your play, as well as close-range fighting.
The end result is a single-player experience that looks to be dark, frenzied, and quite challenging. We can tell you there are 10 different missions in Killzone 2 single-player, but we aren't allowed to tell you anything about the last four. One thing we can say for sure is that after the opening scenes, you'll be thrown into a world where the enemy comes at you from all sides."

Gamespot about AI: "One thing becomes immediately apparent when you begin Killzone 2's campaign: This is not an easy game. The first chapter, Corinth River--an area Sony has shown several times before--drops you right into a heated firefight with no shortage of heavily armed Helghast soldiers trying to take you out from scattered perches. It feels like every balcony, bridge, and window has a pair of glowing red Helghast eyes staring down at you. Starting you off like this seems like Killzone 2's way of saying that running and gunning won't cut it; you're going to learn to be patient and deliberate with your targets, and you're going to learn right away."

Well here is a link to all of them

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

Foxgod, you can't really compare specs of both systems and call them equal just because they have the same numbers and so forth when both have entirely different architecture.

The cell architecture is the key to what the PS3 is capable of and Killzone 2 proves this. I have yet to see a game on the 360 that can produce a game like Killzone 2 and the 360 has been out longer with a much more simpler system environment. Face it the 360 has reach its peak.

[Dragunov]

he is ;)

[THC CELL]

new girl is sexy

[micro_invader]

Yep, much more sexier than Elena (although I hope she's involved in this game one way or another.)

[Lombax]

If you look at the bonus art from Drakes Fortune you'll see that Elena was originally brunet, and hotter.

[EndHawkstrike]

I am more excited about Team Icos ps3 project than every other ps3 game.Lord praise Ueda-San for his works and his future project.

You sir deserve a Bubble and please come closer I need to hug you.

ALL HAIL FUMITO UEDA

[pornflakes]

Shouldnt be 2007/ 2008 year for PS3:D?

Like EVERY YEAR, PS3retards throw in their comming games in every topic and at the end, thi sgames will be delayed by next year or they will be just sales flops like LBP and Resi2.. and MS? They are just waiting and then they drop their bombs... like with FF13.

The only console this gen which flopped ALREADY is the PS3... not even 20 Million after 2 years, haha. Every exklusiv expect MGS4 = FLOP cause ps3 owners just buy blu ray movies.

I bet only 8 million ps3 owners really bought heir machine to play games. Japanese ppl watch and buy more Blu Ray movies as DVD so they bought the pS3 only for watching BR.

[Yipee Bog]

none have flopped. Game sales are better than ever despite the economic woes.
anyways, why buy blu-ray when the ps3 upscales dvd's anyway. $25-$35 blu-ray vs. $15 dvd, tough choice. Does the your 360 upscale? I'm pretty sure mine doesn't

[timmyrulz]

Poor fuzon ,really suck to be a c0ck

[Foxgod]

he sure is a c0ck, he had the guts to pm me and call me a m0therf*****.

Gears of War 2:

Uncharted 1:
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_y...

It's clear as day.

[Foxgod]

Gears of war 2:
http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/...

Uncharted:
http://ps3.ign.com/dor/obje...

What you are showing from uncharted is a target render picture, gtfo fanboi fool.

[Pennywise]

Foxgod you didnt do your argument any favors.

[Foxgod]

i merely showed there is no difference in the gfx, so i dont know what you thought my argument was.

He showed a picture with high res textures from the target render, and i showed what uncharted really looks like.

[Oner]

That Uncharted picture is IN GAME taken with a camera off of someones HDTV from a while back...

Proof ~ http://www.gamespot.com/pag...

Here are some more just in case

[Foxgod]

i have seen the target render, and btw, compare it to the uncharted screenshot i showed.

The texture in that picture doesnt nearly look the same, and the shadows look horrible in it

[Oner]

You just can't admit you are wrong huh? The problem here is you have "SEEN the target render" but not actually have played this game on a PS3 or an HDTV...you don't know what you are talking about.

Here are some more

[Pennywise]

Fox, I am currently replaying Uncharted and that screen shot he showed is IN GAME. Stomp your feet, throw yourself on the ground and cry all you want... UC has great graphics and still beats GeoW2. No UE3 game can win "best looking" sorry. Facts are facts.

[Oner]

I don't understand how someone (like foxgod and many others here) who obviously have ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE with a PS3, an HDTV & Uncharted can speak so vehemently about it? If you are a "gamer" and are so enlightened how is it you are 100% wrong? You have not played this excellent title and therefor should not be spreading false information.

If you actually played it you would have a VERY different view about it, it has a great story, awesome action, excellent gameplay (& replay-ability) along with the graphics to match and the total overall experience is hands down something that shouldn't be missed and downplayed.

[Foxgod]

right, so the game looks great in one place, but the parts i seen, and that you can see in the screenshot too, arent that great at all.

What did they do, put all their work in one small area and make the rest mediocre ?

That, and game reviewers dont agree either, they rank GeoW2 higher then uncharted, if what ps3 fans claim is true, then uncharted should have scored higher then GeoW2 on meta.

[Pennywise]

Ive seen both games fox. You are WRONG. Keep trying though.

[Oner]

The key words here are what you have SEEN without actually TRYING. What's amazing is how I can say Gears does look really good but so does Uncharted, GT5P, Deadspace, Fable 2, Fallout and many other games whether they be 1st party exclusive or multiplatform....

[ReTarDedFisHy]

LMAO Foxgod "target render"
GTFO man, ahahahahahah that's really sad "target render" lmao wtf

[Oner]

It's his new catch phrase that he's been spewing in a few articles lately. Also how is it that N4G's Metadata shows Uncharted @ 90 & 91 ( http://www.n4g.com/PS3/game... ) while Metacritic shows an 88 ( http://www.metacritic.com/g... )?...It's because Metacritic only uses sites it CHOOSES to not ALL sites that offer reviews. Seems a bit odd doesn't it?

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

He claims my pic is a target render. That's a HUGE compliment people. He totally owned himself because first of all, that was an ingame pic and yet he still had to post a bullshot pic of Gears of War 2 with infinite anti-aliasing. LMAO. Foxgod is a joke.

[hay]

Come on... I want this sexyness in my console!
Looks awesome. If gameplay and story will be at least that good as first Uncharted, I'm sold.

[Djeeaz]

Why should Gears 2 be the best? MGS 4 is in the same level (if not above) Prince of Persia 4 is also a damn pretty game, maybe not in the same level.
No visual quality between Killzone 2 and Gears of war 2?
I think you missed something...
Well i'm gonna enjoy see the showdown between Gears 2 and Killzone 2 by Ign.

[J@D]

new girl look better that Elena XD

[Djeeaz]

Uncharted 2 looks damn amazing, it makes me think that i did a great thing buying this console :D

[DJ]

And the graphics got a major upgrade. A lot more physical detail in the environments, and the humans seem to have a softer, more natural look. Can't wait to test out Drake's new move list.

[LONEWOLF231]

DAMN!!

It looks beautiful a real work of art.
The first was an amazing game, cant wait for this one!

[Magic_The_Celt]

Looks AMAZING cant wait man! w00p

[DARKDRAGON254]

guess no one here knows anything about tech. Just because they are using more of the processors...doesnt mean it all goes towards graphics

[PS3_FANTASY]

sweet i love my ps3!

[DNAgent]

I'm glad Uncharted is a good series. It saves me from having to play those mediocre Tomb Raider games (the older ones were good but the recent ones are garbage).

[James Vanderbeek]

and get tom cruise to play nathan drake.. Get steven speilberg to direct it too.. it would be one killer movie...

[cmrbe]

movie would be great.

[call_it_like_ic_it]

playing the 1st drake game and this game is perhaps the most amazing beautiful game i have play. The graphics are top notch. The story & game play is awesome and am doing all this on a standard TV not HD and the game looks beautiful. Play both gears games on the same tv but i was not blown by how they look on the same tv.

[ShinFuYux]

NO ONE IN THIS GODDAMN COUNTRY HAS A SCANNER???

God for bid. At least go to a local library and scan them or something...

[W831Sickid]

does anybody know if they will add any multiplayer vs stuff?

[eliasg]

PS3 is trying hardly to compete Gears of War 2 graphics...

[xwabbit]

Dam nice

[iistuii]

Is this the poor mans lara, where you dont have to think about the puzzles or where to jump as its all highlighted for you. Is it the game where the shooting and aiming was poor too. Or what about the graphics, jaggie jaggie jaggie, does any ps3 game have AA ? if so where ,as all the games ive played on the system have minimal or no AA Maybe K2 eh hehe we live in hope.

[CrippleH]

That's why a year old game have better graphics, animations, action and shooting mechanics.

If that's poor then I'll take it.

Uncharted is more Indiana Jones then Tomb raider clone.

[Meryl]

what the hell, tomb raider has much older game mechanics, i so prefer the graphics and game mechanics in uncharted, tomb raider sends me to sleep, anyways uncharted 2 looks sweet.

[gravv]

@foxgod

according to metacritic, LBP > GeOW2 so LBP graphically better than GeOW2? i've played both game uncharted slightly better in terms of graphic.... in my opinion
