PSP 2 vs. PS3: Uncharted comparison screenshots

How good does Uncharted for NGP look when compared to the PS3 versions? Sony has said that the newly unveiled PSP 2 (Codename NGP) will be able to display PS3-like graphics on a smaller display. Now that the first real screenshot from Uncharted NGP has popped up: Can the NGP really compare with PS3 graphics? Check out this gallery with shots from all four installments of the Uncharted franchise - can Sony keep its promise?

Why do I get the impression that the PSP shot is just lifted from a close up of an off cam video.

Bloody German sites using the same one shot of the PSP uncharted against three different PS3 shots.

Seems like no real screenshots exist for the PSP version.

velocitygamer4827d ago

The PSP2 is so powerful, that it can only rival it's older brother...the PlayStation 3.

nveenio4827d ago

No real screenshot, but NGP is looking good. The only place I can really tell a difference is in resolution and aliasing.

hobo514827d ago

the psp2 is gohan, ps3 goku

HappyGaming4827d ago

+ When you are actually going to play the NGP it will be on a 5 inch screen.

This images are from cameras and they have been stretched quit a bit.

zeeshan4827d ago

Makes you wonder what PS4 will be able to achieve! I mean if they can pull a PS3 on a portable device, God help us all! The next generation is going to be mind blowing!

RyuCloudStrife4827d ago

hit the nail in the head thats no PSP2 screenshot...

TheLastGuardian4827d ago

Not quite on the same level as the PS3 but it's pretty damn close. So impressive for a handheld to be pulling off better graphics than the 360.

Shepherd 2144826d ago

You are insane. It looks good for a handheld but it still isnt as good as 360 graphics. Your just blind fanboy who makes absurd claims and makes yourself look dumb.

@gamesaktuell.de: I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

ReBurn4827d ago

This is getting silly. Still, what I've seen looks good.

DigitalAnalog4826d ago (Edited 4826d ago )

Yes. But don't forget this is because it doesn't produce the amount of pixels the PS3 does on TV. It doesn't equate themselves on a full PS3 level but having the same quality on a 1:2 ratio.

-End of Line

Snake Raiser4823d ago

Even if these were good screenshots it's not exactly fair to compare a 3 year old PS3 game to a game that was just made on PSP2.

peeps4827d ago (Edited 4827d ago )

Not a great comparison considering the resolutions are incorrect + you'll only be playing the psp version on a 5" screen.

The shots of the game on psp look impressive when you take this into consideration. It's like when I view standard quality tv channels on my 37" bravia, but when I view PAP with them displayed in a much smaller window the detail looks amazing

multipayer4827d ago (Edited 4827d ago )

The resolution of the PS3 screenshot is scaled down for the comparison, so it actually is pretty fair. Anyones guess how the psp2 version stacks up, but it looks like it could range from slightly worse to far worse "Wii" quality. Fine for a handheld I guess.

Awookie4826d ago

Upscaling and downscaling don't cancel each other.... idiot

multipayer4826d ago

Lol, what do you think happens when something is resized smaller. It doesn't maintain the integrity of a high resolution picture, you fail.

Awookie4826d ago

It makes the pixels SMALLER meaning a crisper picture u obviously don't know anything about resolution

multipayer4826d ago

Uhhg, look I even have a tab in the graphics card menu of my computer called "Scaling Options".. It is where I adjust the overscan and underscan of my TV, my resolution is 1920x1080, what do you think happens when I make the picture smaller... Do my pixels get smaller?

Anyway, you trolled me good. I just wanted to say the PS3 screenshots in the article weren't HD either... you didn't have to recite literature from your TV manual...

Where is Lens of Truth when you need it. /s

Snake-eater4827d ago

hiding behind a pointless multiplatform comparison

TheTruth894827d ago (Edited 4827d ago )

both looks amazing! but PS3 = 1080p or 720p
PSP = 960x544

Anyway, both pwn 360 :D

CobraKai4827d ago

If you think about it, on a small screen, the PSP resolution should look like on the go HD right?

clrlite4827d ago (Edited 4827d ago )

Pretty much and since it's OLED, it will probably look better than games on a lot of HDTVs. A crappy HDTV and make even the prettiest game look mediocre, whereas the OLED will make great looking games look unbelievable.

High definition does not always equal high quality.

BISHOP-BRASIL4826d ago

Well we can't call it HD as this don't display 720p images, but 544p... Still if we consider it's size, the image quality is more detailed than we can get in such small area from most full HD screens.

If you look at a full HD display that is a 2,073,600 pixels. If we think of an small TV of 22", those are really smal pixels. In a 16*9 section of this monitor with a 5" diagonal it carries roughly 471,272 pixels. NGP 5" screen have 522,240 pixels.

This doesn't mean technically better than HD displays, as any full image will be displayed in under than HD resolution on NGP, but on a screen that small, this mean way less pixelation will be visible, specially if compared to big 1080p screens (32" and up). Although current tech could be used to make bigger TVs 2 or 3 better in resolution, the OLED tech used in NGP could make a 40" display with resolution as high as 4352p. That's a really nice tiny screen.

Kon4827d ago

Your comment begins nice, but then you took the idiot route.

Ifone4826d ago (Edited 4826d ago )

Only for xbox fans who like disagreeing with facts (look at the dumb disagree here, each time people bring 360 in the comparison :))

Lol@the LMS's joke "it will surpass ps3...games on my iphone look better than 90% of the next grns gzmes@ : ridiculous, not a single game is on par with a wii game, and don't forget the power you need to use your console with a 1080 tv....ps3 is 5 yezrs okd, but had 4, 5 years advznce on pc, and if you use it on an iphone screen, it would be photoreality..

The Inconsistent Harmony: 5 Examples of Ludonarrative Dissonance in Video Games

VGChartz's Issa Maki: "I finally have a proper designation akin to what I've always referred to internally as 'the line that must be crossed' or 'The Line', for short – ludonarrative dissonance – the separation from a video game's story in relation to its gameplay. Why isn't PETA all up in Mario's grill for jumping on turtles and killing fish, or charging Samus Aran with the extinction of the Metroid species? Ever notice how fire has that habit of making bosses in Resident Evil stronger? Read on my friend, for I endeavor to imbue you with the ability to engage in basic queries concerning the concept."

A relic of its time or a buried treasure from the past?

I was really hoping this would have made it into one of the collections. Like how they did with the GoW PSP games.

VenomUK791d ago

I recall just playing the start on PS Vita but not much more and many Uncharted fans wouldn't have played it either so this 'unknown' chapter could be ripe for an expanded version for PS5.

TiredGamer791d ago

Agreed here. Played it back on the Vita years ago, but never finished. The cramped Vita controls and the tiny analog sticks just didn't gel with me in a game where precise headshots are half the fun. It's the first Uncharted game that I haven't completed/Platinumed, and I think much of it is control related. Really wish it was PS TV compatible (natively).

I would definitely buy it if it were released as a PS4/PS5 version.

YoungKingDoran790d ago

If you ever play it again on Vita definitely turn on the gyro aiming assist, made it alot more fun to play and i ended up getting all the headshot trophies thanks to this- super accurate

TheEnigma313791d ago

I loved this game. It was like an extension of the first one. Why haven't we gotten an HD release yet?

TiredGamer791d ago (Edited 791d ago )

Lack of available dev resources and lack of a lucrative ROI probably. I think Sony has an opportunity to sell it as a separate, standalone HD remaster for like $20. Otherwise, the effort to convert a PS Vita game to the PS4/5 won't be worth their while. Unfortunate, but that's probably the only way it'd make financial sense.

deleted791d ago (Edited 791d ago )

Some of the puzzles/interactivity would have to be completely reworked. I remember having to hold the camera to a bright light. (I remember being annoyed at that part bc I was playing in bed late night while my wife was asleep next to me. Ran to the kitchen at like 3am just to get past it lol)

Also the swipe battles. I absolutely couldn't stand the final boss because the swiping felt so inaccurate and it would constantly misread gestures.

I adored the rest of the game though, and even the story! It couldn't simply just be rereleased, it needs reworking for consoles. (same reason it didn't get PS Vita TV support) The rubbing parts could still work w Dualsense/DS4 though.

I'd gladly welcome it and do hope it happens eventually!

Muigi791d ago

Glad I still have my Oled Vita.

MadLad791d ago

Sony should have tried harder to support the Vita. It ended up just a solid emulation machine that happens to have a handful of classics.

Bigman4k791d ago (Edited 791d ago )

Yeah Sony gave up on the ps vita way too fast

Bigman4k791d ago (Edited 791d ago )

I really like Uncharted:Golden Abyss on ps vita it would be dope if they remaster it for PlayStation 5
