There Is No Competition raising The Bar Consistently Naughtydog

MURKERR5599d ago (Edited 5599d ago )

on uncharted,but for me uncharted 2 is the best looking console game to date after watchin the trailer..yep better looking than kz2, scary part is ND still have months to polish it even further

astonishing

thereapersson5599d ago

That was the most poorly constructed sentence I have ever seen.

jkhan5599d ago

Yes in terms of facial and character animations, water etc. effects will look better than Killzone 2. But I doubt they will be able to out do Killzone 2 light effect. Plus you have to give credit to Killzone 2, with soo much stuff happening on screen and maintaining the visual fidelity, I doubt any game will be able to pull off the same feat anytime soon.

MURKERR5599d ago (Edited 5599d ago )

drake literally grabbed every object no matter the height or angle,ive never seen that before,that must have been extremely hard to program.

best animation ive ever seen

cmrbe5599d ago

have very different graphics style. KZ2 goes for more relistic graphics. Uncharted graphics no matter how great they are you can just tell they are not real as they are still cartoony like Gears. Its fair to compare Gears and uncharted but not KZ2 and U2.

jmd7495599d ago

the fluidity is just awe-inspiring, nathan moves so life like. the animation in uncharted's gameplay surpasses every game i've seen to date. the only game that comes close is killzone 2.
uncharted 2 can't come out soon enough. i'm really hoping that the rumoured coop gameplay is implemented.

DaTruth5599d ago

Did you see the animations when the bus explodes?! Incredible!! Reminded me of my first playthrough of Uncharted, looking around and saying WOW every ten steps.

beardpapa5599d ago (Edited 5599d ago )

Just woke up, but I believe that site has new HD pictures (actual HD, not camera phone resolution) not from the video, and a 151 mb HD video someone linked to megaupload.

Sevir045599d ago

I disagree with you, there are many ways to approach realistic graphics, ND's approach was to do it with color, they didn't ahve to go all desaturated in look like KZ2 because they aren't throwing you into an all out dark war torn setting with bullets and grenades and smoke. They basically approached it from the standard way of showing the protagonist in a colorful yet realistic world. simply put. The game Looks amazing, It's on it's own level. there is nothing cartoony about it, just because it uses color doesn't make it cartoony.

likedamaster5599d ago

I'm going to be honest, it doesn't look cartoony as Uncharted 1 did, and it definitely has better shadows/lighting. Nice, good for NaughtyDog. I will most likely get this like Uncharted 1. Action games like these are well worth the purchase.

y0haN5599d ago

kws is right, Killzone 2 and Uncharted have no visible aliasing.. :)

cmrbe5599d ago

can you honestly say that when you look at Uncharted it looks like real life graphics similar to crysis?. KZ2 has similar graphics to crysis in that they look real as in real life.

Game like uncharted and Gears on the other hand although have great surface textures and all still looks like its from a comic book/cartoon. Its not a knock on Uncharted or gears graphics but all i am saying is that KZ2 and U2 have different type of graphics.

earwax5599d ago

Looks just as boring as the 1st one. I hope this one is 8 hrs long too! I just love spending $60 bucks on games that short and no multi player

y0haN5598d ago

I don't think the phantoms know what "no aliasing" means.. it's a good thing.

Hail to Naughty GOD baby!

Montreafart5599d ago

Man the graphics are so great and gameplay so much, that by just watching that, I want to turn on my PS3 and play Uncharted again.

Another Triple A confirmed and coming.

Bots are being destroyed left and right right now. Its absolutely sucks to be an xbot.

Let me tell you something people, the misery of the bots isnt going to end anytime soon. It has just BEGUN.

Salvadore5599d ago

Looks awesome, great job Naughty Dog.

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

P_Bomb1545d ago (Edited 1545d ago )

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1545d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1544d ago (Edited 1544d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1546d ago

I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.

Profchaos1545d ago (Edited 1545d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1546d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931545d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.

The entire final chapter of The Lost Legacy is the best setpiece in the series and it wasn't even mentioned.
