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.

velocitygamer5250d ago

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

nveenio5250d ago

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

hobo515250d ago

the psp2 is gohan, ps3 goku

HappyGaming5250d 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.

zeeshan5250d 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!

RyuCloudStrife5250d ago

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

TheLastGuardian5250d 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 2145250d 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.

ReBurn5250d ago

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

DigitalAnalog5250d ago (Edited 5250d 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.

Snake Raiser5247d 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.

peeps5250d ago (Edited 5250d 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

multipayer5250d ago (Edited 5250d 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.

Awookie5250d ago

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

multipayer5250d 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.

Awookie5250d ago

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

multipayer5249d 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-eater5250d ago

hiding behind a pointless multiplatform comparison

TheTruth895250d ago (Edited 5250d ago )

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

Anyway, both pwn 360 :D

CobraKai5250d ago

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

clrlite5250d ago (Edited 5250d 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-BRASIL5250d 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.

Kon5250d ago

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

Ifone5250d ago (Edited 5250d 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..

Uncharted 2 Is the Most Important PlayStation Exclusive of All Time

In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.

gold_drake218d ago

it was pretty good. especially the multiplayer

KyRo218d ago

I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.

-Foxtrot218d ago

Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.

A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.

Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.

Inverno218d ago

Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.

gold_drake218d ago

i had so much fun too, played almost every night with mates or cousins baha

Relientk77218d ago

It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.

RaidenBlack218d ago (Edited 218d ago )

Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...

RaiderNation218d ago

I would argue it's God of War.

darthv72218d ago

I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
