So what’s the verdict gaming folks…does The Last of US look better than Uncharted 3?

When the Last of Us was first shown at the Spike VGA’s 2011 there was this feel of ”where have these graphics been all my life” in the air by the gaming community. Could this be an implication Naughty Dog has completely mastered the “Cell” (processor) and is now using it to it’s fullest potential? As Deion Sanders would say though “Hold on playa” not so fast.

I think The Last of Us looks better than Uncharted 3, but the art style is different than what we have seen in the Uncharted series.

camel_toad4253d ago (Edited 4253d ago )

I agree plus you have to realize when Uncharted 3 was at a similar stage of development as The Last of Us is right now it already looked great but was further tweaked to look even better nearing its release - soo I'm guessing with a few nips n tucks The Last of Us is only going to get better looking going by Naughty Dogs track record.

MaxXAttaxX4253d ago (Edited 4253d ago )

That's an old pic of Ellie and so is the debut trailer...

That said, Uncharted 3's desert scene has one of the best visuals I've ever seen. I doubt we'll see a similar scene like that in The Last of Us to accurately compare the two, but so far TLOU has shown pretty impressive graphics, even better than U3 in many aspects. AI looks great too.

So I guess overall... yeah, it does look better. Although art direction is different.

Freak of Nature4253d ago

I agree, and would like to add that TLOU may be at a disadvantage, not have the diverse locations and settings that UC2 and 3 had... As of now I see the city overgrown with jungle/plant-life...I am still wondering if you will also see some locations outside of the city itself, as I noticed they had some concepts/ shots of the outskirts of town, perhaps you must travel to other locations to solve problems too?

Either way, it is looking beautiful and will still get better as time goes on in development...It's ND, do you expect anything less?

Irishguy954253d ago

Uncharted 3 looks alot better imo, due to art direction. Last of Us has a bit better graphics

zeeshan4253d ago

I want this game NOW! Have they announced a date yet? I am trying not to see new videos cuz I don't wanna spoil the experience.

This, Bioshock infinite and Beyond. It's so hard to wait for these titles :S

I also think the last of us looks better. You can tell just by the character's faces

NastyLeftHook04253d ago

console games

1. the last of us/beyond
2. uncharted 3

Mainsqueeze4253d ago

I loved uncharted 3 but for some reason the last of us doesn't interest me that much. I still hope that its an awesome game for those who are going to get it.

showtimefolks4253d ago

I don't have a time machine so we will see. All I knw is ND are masters at making their each game better than the one before. So I am guessing they learned a lot of uncharted 3 and applying those learning to make LOU better

andibandit4253d ago

I think The Last of Uncharted looks better, but to be honest i'd take a little more freedom and a little less graphical fidelity. When i have completed it i would know EXACTLY how my neighbours playthrough was, cause the freedom is almost non existant, almost like an On-Rails game.

Catoplepas4253d ago

Everything you say is definitely legit.

You're in no way a complete imbecile.

violents4253d ago

Its a knowm fact that the last of.us has multiple ways to play, you can go all stealth mode through the levels or guns blazing like they did in the e3 demo. It may be a linear style game but there are multiple ways to get to the next area. The way you play through may not be the same as your friend does. Besides if it's fun who cares. Do you hate on a movie because it's the same thing everyone else saw too?

MoonConquistador4253d ago

Whilst sort of agreeing with andibandits comment, steverhude brings up a great point on the movie comparison.

Opposite ways of looking at it, but bubbles to you both for very good points

GuyThatPlaysGames4253d ago

Who gives a shit? It's about gameplay, not visuals.

AngryTypingGuy4253d ago

Does it look better than Uncharted 3? I'll let you know when I'm able to buy a copy and pop it in my PS3.

The Last Of Us looks more alive.

ASTAROTH4253d ago (Edited 4253d ago )

After reading all these comments I find it funny that on the 360 side of things its fans are declaring HALO 4 the best looking game on consoles, but here PS3 fans are saying LOU migth end looking better than Uncharted 3... they are not hyping this game to look next gen or set benchmarks in graphics... no time to be so insecure...LOL

Im I saying PS3 fans havent done that/troll?

No I just said that an article about HALO 4 being the new benchmark in graphics just get the 360 flock out of their cave... Just like with every 360 exclusive that them and the MEDIA believes have the best graphics of consoles... Every year the same whith a diferrent game.

Rush4253d ago

Yeah because PS3 fans have never hyped graphics /troll...

Not to mention it's such a pointless argument 360 and PS3 hardware is now 6/7 years old. Why argue about who has the fastest cripple?

BigStef714253d ago

Im sorry but theres no way halo 4 can compare to UC3 and TLOU in terms of having better graphics. A better comparison would be Halo 4 vs KZ3. In that comparison KZ3 is the overall better looking game and in my opinion is one if not the best looking FPS on current consoles.

Blankman854253d ago (Edited 4253d ago )

Wow. Why must you ps3 fans drag every other console thru the mud just to make your precious playstation seem so perfect?
Why drag xbox 360 and halo 4 into this? Honestly. Are you seriously about to talk about insecurities right now? Wow are you kidding me? You're the insecure one here going off topic just so you can feel good about what you got sitting under your TV. What's even more disturbing is that this jerk is going to get a massive amount of agrees and probably get bubbled up.

shivvy244253d ago

if they say that halo is the benchmark in graphics then they are kidding themselves , since i have both the consoles , i know whats fact and BS ! while halos story ets is increadibly awesome , its definately not seting any benchmark thingos !

Outside_ofthe_Box4253d ago (Edited 4253d ago )

***"Wow. Why must you ps3 fans drag every other console thru the mud just to make your precious playstation seem so perfect?"***

Generalization much? So because one person does it that means all people do it? Would you like me to point out comments where 360 fans(yourself included) drag the PS3 into the mud to make the Xbox seem perfect? Would that then give me justification to say that all 360 fans always dog on the playstation in order to make the xbox seem supreme?

miyamoto4253d ago (Edited 4253d ago )

Look at what the cat dragged in... Halo on a Naughty Dog article

people are sensitive you know

humbleopinion4253d ago

@BigStef71,

While I agree that comparing 3rd person shooters and 1st person shooters is not the easiest thing to do, Killzone 3 is strill trailing graphically behind Halo Reach, not to mention how Halo 4 currently looks from first impressions.

UC3 and TLOU can be compared to third person shooters such as Gears of War. And while UC3 sits at about the same level as Gears 3 (both have their ups and down), TLOU is already looking more impressive than both - which makes a lot of sense since technology evolves over time.

My guess? By the end of this gen Halo 4 will turn out to be the best looking FPS this console gen (unless some other surprising contender shows up. Crysis 3 perhaps?), and TLOU will be the best looking 3rd person shooter this gen (although it will have to compete with other impressive games such as the next MGS, GTA V, Star Wars 1313 and Watchdogs).

kikizoo4253d ago

Humbledenial :)

"And while UC3 sits at about the same level as Gears 3"
"My guess? By the end of this gen Halo 4 will turn out to be the best looking FPS this console gen "

XD
..please, buy a ps3, and uc3, kz2/3, etc it's 2012 now, you have to comeback to reality.

givemeshelter4253d ago

What is always interesting about these debates comes NEXT generation. Not now.
Why? Because the same people here ranting about how all PS3 games look better than Xbox360 games and GRAPHICS MATTER, MIGHT be eating tons of cow come next generation if the Xbo720 or whatever it might be called, ends up being more powerful. At that point you will see those same people posting how GRAPHICS do not matter are now talking about how only game play matters...

We seen this happen before. It was with HYPOCRITICAL Xbox fanboys claiming graphic superiority over the PS2 and HOW graphics MATTER. The Sony camp would say GAME PLAY was more important etc.
Now see how fast those Xbox fanboys changed their tune this generation? Graphics what?

Now if the tables are turned come next generation, you can bet the farm the Sony fanboys will be just as hypocritical and claim how game play is all that matters and Xbox fanboys will say how graphics matter.
Lesson here? You want graphics. Buy a PC otherwise at some point you will be seen as a hypocritical individual.

humbleopinion4250d ago (Edited 4250d ago )

@kikizoo,

And you base your invalid comparisons on what? I actually have all these games and compared them on a technical level. As I mentioned countless times: Halo Reach is graphically superior to Killzone 3, what makes you think that Halo 4 isn't better. Here, somebody even PMed asking me about this, so I'll just copy-paste the reasons here:

"Halo Reach has better looking 3D models, better textures (both metallic and skin), better alpha effects, more polygons in a single scene (according to developers of both games), bigger scale, better color reproduction (Thanks to HDR which is absent from Killzone, and is probably the games biggest issue), and better overall lighting thanks to the global illumination.
Killzone 3 can push more light sources on a single scene thanks to the rendering solution, but that's about it when it comes to technical advantages as far as I can see.
Animations on both games is excellent, particles on both games are excellent, AA on both games is not very good (MLAA in Killzone 3 with a lot of artifacts, Temporal AA on Halo Reach with a lot of ghosting) , so I can't argue in each direction on all of these. "

But you didn't even make a single argument to back your claims. Care to share a technical comparison? If I don't see any further comment about this, I will be just left to assume that it's you who own just a single console and require a reality check - preferably after taking off your fanboy goggles.

Neil Druckmann: Philosopher gamer behind 'The Last of Us'

who is now the sole leader of Naughty Dog, “I promise you, we will not be ‘The Last of Us’ studio forever.” Numerous games, he said, are in the works, including “multiple single-player projects.

Lightning7714d ago

I know he has a celebrity like status but unless he's announcing his game soon idc what he has to say from this point on.

We need announcement something from him.

Crows9012d ago

The dude is a nobody. He's also wrong. Naughty dog is the uncharted and Jak daxter studio.

They only made one universally praised last of us game. They're not know as "the last of us studio" but they are currently known as the "remake" studio.

Lightning7712d ago

I like his games tbh I'm just more upset at the fact that he's been talking and talking and not showing anything. I'm an actual fan of his work, don't cars if that's that's a popular take or not.

If he has nothing to show or talk about. I don't care about his interviews, his red carpet appearances or what's next for last Of Us 2 TV, leave that to Hollywood. You don't see SP, Bend, or any other studio doing what he's doing. They're remaining quiet and focused as most PS studios do. He should do the same. The next thing I wanna hear him say is "now heres our game" we know that probably won't be for another year or so, so he needs to remain silent and stay out of the limelight for awhile.

AsunaYuukiTheFlash12d ago

You are wrong. LOU2 won a lot of GOTY and was highly rated. It's okay to dislike the game but saying that ND just made one critical acclaimed LOU game is just hating at this point.

rippermcrip13d ago

Kind of a weird interview. No substance, hardly any questions. It's almost like they forgot to post the whole thing or something.

neomahi13d ago

Oh brother...... It's like a balloon filling with helium. He's got nothing new to say. Naughty Dog went from being a studio of numerous developers to being about him and what HE does. Bruce Straley was the co-creator of The Last of Us, and he left--I think for the same reason Christophe Balestra left and since then, Naughty Dog haven't been the same. PlayStation is incredibly woke, as all businesses seem to be these days, ignorant to what's really going on sacrificing the greater for peanuts, but I think they left because of the uprising political atmosphere. They knew there was nothing they could do about it and an attempt to try and combat it, in today's society would end them up in legal trouble so, they just left, what else can you do when the opposition behaves like a child, screams and yells louder than you want to in raged fits, and will throw lawsuits at you at whatever chance they can, but you don't play that way, so they left. And Naughty Dog hasn't been the same since.

Naughty Dog was huge at one time! They were the underdog that became the top dog but, the direction it's fine, just watch and wait. It's ego, and Druckmanns ego of thinking they're untouchable and can just coast along, will drop them rock bottom, in due time, they could see the same fate as Xbox's teams met. Fans will turn on Naughty Dog because A) Naughty Dog aren't producing, they're not what they once were.
B) Gamers ARE growing tired of the woke culture overtaking their lifetime hobby. They're just more silent about it, it's the quiet cool

anast13d ago

Non of this makes sense. I would like to think you didn't spend too much time writing it.

Crows9012d ago

I hope you didn't spend much time reading..it...cuz obviously you didnt understand it. But that's okay. There's many other comments to read...

MIDGETonSTILTS1713d ago

You project your own views on the world, and that is a mistake.

Crows9012d ago

Um...so you project someone else view on the world? What are you talking about?! We all project our view on the world lol...smh

anast12d ago

It's called perspective. I understand that. But I don't understand the poster.

smashman9812d ago

you know it's not his fault that people are interested in what he says, right?

Also, Naughty Dog is bigger than ever.

Crows9012d ago

Smaller....where's their last big game? Yeah...I remember when they were actually releasing heavy hitters.

smashman9811d ago

@Crows90 It was in 2020 and despite what a vocal minority says it was critically acclaimed and the 2020 game of the year. Not only that but The Last of Us is also a critically acclaimed television series and PlayStation's most successful foray into Film and TV yet.

So yes, Naughty Dog is bigger than ever, and just because you don't vibe with them or whatever does not change that fact.

anast13d ago

He's a solid theatre arts person, but he's not a philosopher. Being good at one thing doesn't mean he's Descartes.

DarXyde12d ago

I believe that philosophers are more principled than Druckmann, to be honest. It's fascinating that The Last of Us Part II was literally inspired by the Israel-Palestine conflict and was a needed commentary on humanity and ending the cycle of violence, only to have some questionable commentary after 7 October.

I don't hate the guy as some others seem to. He's been a big part of some great games, but I'll never understand the obsession with hanging on all of his statements.

Chard12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

That's a good point in relation to 7 Oct - a far more important issue where valid criticisms could have been made of this guy, but most here seem thoroughly distracted by trivial issues

anast12d ago

@DarXyde

Like all artists he has a signature. People that have an agenda will try to look for that signature and use it. This is why a lot of "journalist/game influencers" hang on every word. Most of us just enjoy his work and get hyped when he mentions something about a possible new game.

@Chard
"a far more important issue where valid criticisms could have been made of this guy"

Which is?

MIDGETonSTILTS1713d ago

Sony should try and stay radio silence outside of hard reveals.

It’s painful to wait for any info at all, but it’s less painful than skimming an interview that avoids all details whatsoever.

Commit to radio silence, Sony. You can afford to leverage the trust in gaming output that you’ve cultivated.

anast12d ago

That wouldn't be a smart decision. There must be a constant stream of connection in today's world.

MIDGETonSTILTS1710d ago

When a constant stream of connection delays a game 1-2 years, and said games take 5 years to make anyways…. Sony fans are better off trusting Sony to deliver than expecting frequent confirmation.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast136d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs133d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast133d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs132d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast132d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer136d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing69136d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs133d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing69133d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
