E3 2011: Uncharted 3 has the best water ever…and more

If there's one thing Naughty Dog does well it's gorgeous graphics. Amid the stunning textures in the E3 demo of Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Kapow Games was particularly taken by the wet stuff. (E3, PS3, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception)

Showed fire in the chateau last year and showed water in the ship this year.

I want to see what and how they handle the sand in the desert levels. The water really is amazing though.
Bathyj  +   717d ago
Me too. The way the sand reacts to footsteps in the first trailer was amazing. That and the promise of shifting levels is a promising gameplay mechanic.
MaxXAttaxX  +   717d ago
I think we just had a look at the shifting levels today :

Tank_Commander_E6  +   717d ago
Isn't that KZ3 water? Didn't they do a trade UC2 snow for KZ3 water? ^_^

UC3 looks glorious! GOTY no doubt!

Don't forget Skyrim. Every year a scrolls game launches, it has gotten GOTY...

The water was impressive, but Gears of War and Bioshock have already done those effects.
dragon82  +   717d ago
Not even close to that well. if think they have then you need glasses.

BIoshock has some impressive water, but nothing like Uncharted. And Gears of War? seriously? Lets just say textures are not that game's expertise.
Joni-Ice  +   717d ago
One thing Naughty Dog forgot to add to the water effects is Drake hair getting wet. When he went underwater his hair style stayed the same. My stepdaughter noticed it. Its her FAVORITE game. Thats all she talks about. Uncharted this, Uncharted that, at least she has good taste in games.
metsgaming  +   716d ago
maybe nate uses an awesome hair gel?

Actually it was snow then Water!
And this game separates the big boys from the children.
This level of software and Hardware Talent is beyond what anyone out there is doing with PS3 SPU ASMP tech.
TO think IF the PS4 is gonna have double SPU's and 2GB RAM JEZZZ! I don't think we will ever leave home!!
GREAT WORK!!
JBaby343  +   717d ago
Naughty Dog always shows Fantastic things. From water to fire to sand to texture work it's all just amazing.
goaliegonzalez28  +   717d ago
uc3 = goty
trounbyfire  +   717d ago

This and HALO 4, My most wanted games by far, everything else looks lame
JellyJelly  +   717d ago
Skyrim. Battlefield 3. Lame? :)
50Terabytespersec  +   717d ago
See the thing about Sim type of War FPS PC games(MW,Battlfield,etc.) is, well not much imagination or Sci-fi involved ,just copy and do alot of well copying what's real out there, based on reality and using references such as war flicks or documentarys..
Just look at all the war movies ...lol
The rest is just pushing the PC hardware with unlimited RAM it seems. I respect the level of creativity in SCi-fi and adventure type of games that do so much in terms of creativity that War games become much like their movie counter parts, Dime a dozen and well who want to see Black hawk down or Platoon over and over?

Good point Jelly! I want that too, Im a huge oblivion fan
Sunhammer  +   717d ago
All you saw for Halo 4 was a CGI and yet it's somehow higher on your list than Battlefield 3 and Skyrim? I don't get it. It's just Halo.
ForROME  +   716d ago
Because Ive played the first 3? That might help in why I might want the 4th, obviously its going to run a lot off the original first pedigree, if I said to you why do you like this games, its just this or that, you can say that about any game, personal preference my friend

off topic: i want a damn crash bandicoot game!

on topic: i want this damn game!

off topic: who remembers waverace 64!? they had great water graphics (at the time) lol

Dude waverace had crazy water graphics! Bubbles for remembering that!

and about crash bandicoot, I dunno, the game seems more of an old school video game, I don't know how it will do in today's generation
Seraphemz  +   717d ago
Funny how much Uncharted influenced Tomb Raider...in a good way. I'm looking forward to both
Jonah_Reese  +   717d ago
I did smile when I was watching the Tomb Raider walkthrough. It's really nice looking.
undercovrr  +   714d ago
The constant moaning really distracted me. Not to mention my mom was giving me weird faces when I exited the room, so it was really awkward to explain that I wasn't watching porn.

So now I hate tomb raider because of that

The water was pretty Damn impressive for something on the PS3.
waterboy  +   717d ago
for something on ps3? you say that like ps3 is the bottom, no not at all this is impressive cause its ps3 exclusive, ps3 exclusives throw all the pc fan bs talk out of the park, f--- multiplatforms ps3 games are the definition of impressive
Jonah_Reese  +   717d ago
Never meant it like that. But people (losers in my opinion) want to downplay the tech. And regardless of how much a fan I am of the PS3 the tech is older hint why I said "Pretty damn impressive for something on the PS3." PS3 is the only console I have, the only console I care about right now.

And for anyone else I respect the other consoles/plat-forms I just like what the PS3 had been bringing me.
MartinZ  +   717d ago
"the PS3 the tech is older "

LOL.

Talk about clueless.

You know absolutely NOTHING about console graphics hardware.
Arnon  +   716d ago
@MartinZ
Please, do tell us about how advanced these consoles are, so we can all compare it to current hardware that makes it sound like something you'd buy for a child.
ALFAxD_CENTAURO  +   717d ago
1st Party Devs knows how to code on PS3.
akaFullMetal  +   717d ago
The uncharted games have implemented some of the best effects on consoles.
waterboy  +   717d ago
the best effects period
aia12  +   716d ago
on CONSOLE maybe but doesn't hold a candle to what modern day pcs are capable of.
Tachyon_Nova  +   716d ago
Check out the CryEngine 3 DX11 footage that got leaked last week and get back to me on who has the best water. pcgames.de managed to get a direct feed video of the presentation.
