Resident Evil: Revelations & Uncharted: Golden Abyss [Graphics Comparison]

This is a great comparison video, made by requests from us gamers. It shows us the best looking games on both the Nintendo 3DS & PS Vita. The creators of the video have put these two great looking games side by side to prove that both systems are fantastic & both have awesome games coming! If you have a 3DS ENJOY IT! If your getting a PS Vita ENJOY IT when you get it! If you plan to own both, then ENJOY THEM!! Happy gaming!!

whats the point of comparing 2 different games wouldnt be better to compare the same game on both systems

[MadMax]

How could they do that? They are both exclusives, so they are taking the best from both systems. In term of graphics they both look the same! 3DS is a great system, Ace Combat, Williams Pinball, Nano Assault, Dead or Alive etc. Just great games!!!

[Titanz]

A lot of 3rd party developers, "half-@ss" multiplatform games on the 3DS (Fifa 12 for example).

Vita is more powerful than the 3DS, but it isn't a, "PSP - NDS" scenario.

[Matrix2k]

its exactly a psp-ds scenerio

[Bull5hifT]

Ds=N64 PSP=between dreamcast & PS2 , 3Ds = between Gamecube & Xbox Vita= between 360 & PS3 soo like a gen Behind.. But hell even call of duty looks alright on the Wii its really hard to compare cause resolution on 3ds is 800x200 and Vita is like 960x640 soo like triple the amount of pixels to fill , i love my PS: Vita it is soo amazingly built , i love how deep the blacks get, i cant wait to convert an Hd Version of The Dark Knight, it reminds me of my aunts Plasma and how Bright the explosions are against the blacks

@Bull5hifT
I don't know where this commonly held idea that the PS3 is so much more powerful than the 360 comes from, but it is inaccurate. They both have their pros and cons, and the Vita is not really on the level of either of them, hardware wise. It's definitely ahead of the Wii and last generation systems, but its not on the level of current gen hardware.

People are going to watch this video and think "the 3DS has graphics as good as the Vita's" when they don't understand the difference between graphical power and graphical capabilities. The 3DS can generate great lighting, like revelations, but the textures are like plastic if you look closer. The 3DS is capable of great graphics but it's not that powerful.

[Inception]

Two different games from two different dev, with totally different engine, and different platform. Also, the comparison is from "3DSforums.com"? DOH, who approve this shite?! -_-

[user858621]

Wow! 3DS pulling off some amazing graphics

already 3 disagrees, yes we know 3DS is an amazing handheld with great looking exclusives but no need to be insecure lol

[Optical_Matrix]

Gotta hand it to the 3DS, can pump out some great visuals. I pre-ordered Resident Evil Revelations last week from Zavvi. This is for those of you who live in the UK. Although I don't like that Circle Pad Pro, Zavvi are offering the Resi-Revelations/Circle Pad Pro bundle for £29.99 which is a steal imo. So It's worth checking out because you're essentially getting a free circle pad. Would never pay money for it personally.

I tried out Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 today on my friends Vita. Despite this comparison, and 3DS clearly being able to pump out good visuals, UMvC was evidence that visually, Vita destroys the 3DS. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

[mcstorm]

The for that I've just pre ordered it.

Wow I know the psv has more power then the 3ds but res looks amazing and just shows what power the 3ds has. I am a big fan of the 3ds Mario 3ds and Mario kart 7 are amazing games and do justice to the 3d side of the 3ds. But I can't aso wait to get my hands on a psv when it is out later on this year looks an interesting machine and in a way I'm glad the 3ds and psv are going different ways as give me a reason to own both of them.

[ZombieAssassin]

Wow didn't think the 3DS could have games looking that good as I've only played Zelda on it, gonna definitely pick one up if they release one with a second analog stick...of course it'll be after a Vita as I really wanna play me some Uc.

[T-Jani]

What I find amazing is that Uncharted GA,Fifa and UMvsC are launch titles! Can you imagine how good games will look and play in the future!

[2EHO]

Well the ps vita is more powerful. But I have to agree it isn't like last gen. The 3ds will have equally impressive games graphics wise like ps vita. The funnt yhing is resident evil is just the start of great graphics on 3ds.I love the underdog and I can't wait for even more games(2012 to be exact) to come out and prove to doubters what 3ds can do.

[MasterCornholio]

Let me get this straight. Your claiming that the 3DS with 3D can produce visuals on the same level as the Vita. Which means since the 3DS has to work harder with 3D on when it's off it can produce visuals that are better than the Vita. My only question is this.

With such a big difference in specs between the 2 (just like the DS and PSP) How is this even possible?

I would really like to know because by looking at specs it seems that the 3DS has less powerful hardware than the Vita.

Thanks for taking your time to read this and for your reply.

This video comparison proves absolutely nothing... I own both handhelds and Vita is by a huge, HUGE margin much more powerful than the 3ds. The scale of the scenes on Uncharted GA is massive with great attention paid to details. On the other hand Resident Evil on the 3DS is small in scale, you're walking and everywhere you go, it looks like a dejavu, same grey walls, lowres textures with 3d models lacking in polygon detail. So, don't put your hopes too high waiting for mind blowing graphics on the 3ds, cause that ain't gonna happen!

[Studio-YaMi]

That fire level in Uncharted:GA is more than enough for me to conclude that the PSVita has far better graphics than the 3DS,but that doesn't mean I wasn't amazed with RE:Revelations,am going to buy it as soon as it's available and play it on my Sister 3DS.

[MasterCornholio]

They both look great. But this comparison is comparing a second generation 3DS title to a first generation Vita title. I think that the most accurate way to do a comparison is to compare the best looking 3DS launch title to the best looking Vita launch title. Anyways in this video in my opinion Uncharted looks much better than revelations with superior shadows, higher resolution, better texture quality and incredible HDR. If the 3DS made a huge jump between 1st and 2nd generation titles I wonder how big the jump will be with the Vita.

Anyways both systems are very capable handhelds but it's pretty obvious that the Vita has more powerful hardware. Congratulations to Sony and Nintendo for creating these devices.

this is too funny. Most dont have a clue as to way 3ds won! Just goes to show most people on n4g dont know what their talking about.

Resident evil looks better because the backgrounds are taken from CG images. Same thing you saw in 1996 when mario 64 went against RE1. On a tech level uncharted is higher with bigger more dynamic scenes.

3ds looks better here seeing as they scaled everything down. ergo animation is jittery levels are oh so tight.

[2EHO]

Yeah a lot will talk but witht the graphics presentation plus 3D resident evil will shine... In a way uncharted just can't. Man nintendo knows handhelds.

[Masterchef2007]

How about i show you a very good comparison with both games running off their respective handhelds.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

You really shouldn't let Capcom fool (remember lost planet) you into believing their bull shots because you really should know the truth about the capability's of the device you purchased. Anyways i agree with you that despite a few flaws the 3DS is a pretty good handheld.

[Qdog]

I just find it hard to believe that some of these comments are serious. I have right in front of me now a Japanese Playstation Vita running Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and it is simply amazing in motion. I am a notoriously discerning pixel hunter to my friends, and I say with confidence that from the amount of instances of physics on screen, overall pixel count and texture quality, fluidity and diversity of animations (Drake, friends, and enemies), the high polygon count on everything minus the palm trees, the open and vast nature/ incredible draw distance, faux-volumetric effects, superb dynamic lighting (low-res shadows though), factored with the constant level of interactivity on-screen, that Uncharted is superior in many ways to what I saw in the video. I also play my wife's 3DS, and to date I've not seen any game that comes close to Uncharted: Golden Abyss on a portable with perhaps the exception being infinity Blade on an iphone 4(even then it's more of an evolution to point and click fighting than it is a gaming contender). I've had numerous portables including tablets. I'm really starting to think that fanboyism is like a spreading rash that blinds people to the truth. Lets be honest here, the PS Vita has more theoretical and raw rendering power than the 3DS, in truth there is no comparison on this scale. Not only that, but I cant shake the urge to tell you that compressed online videos do neither gaming portable any favors, as so many details are lost.

It is my opinion that the enemies in Uncharted "look" to have a higher polygon count and better lighting and textures than the main protagonist in Revelations at this stage (according to the video).

[Masterchef2007]

This comparison is badly done because the footage from both come from trailers released by their respective developers which could have been enhanced in some way. How about we compare footage with both games running off their handhelds that to me is the best way to compare. Because honestly, Capcom releases a ton of bullshots to convince the gullible into believing that the 3DS is as powerful than the Vita and i cant believe that some people believe them.

Just face it the 3DS is weaker than the Vita due to its inferior hardware configuration because as they say "You get what you pay for" Although they are both worthy of purchase.

Heres the comparison and its up to you to decide which one looks better.

dude both are gameplay!!! these arent trailors

[Klad]

You shouldn't feel the need to defend the power of the PS Vita. Everyone knows that it is more powerful than the 3DS.

These are direct feed gameplay videos put side by side, not trailers, so I don't think they have been enhanced. The other video you posted was quite an obvious one, as the (off Screen) PS Vita OLED screen (in 2D) will obviously look much bigger, brighter & clearer than the (off screen) 3DS screen. The video seemed a bit fanboyish and biased.

The other video i posted was showing love for both handhelds! People are only saying that they are surprised that 3DS can output graphics as impressive as seen in the video because no other 3DS games have pushed the graphical capabilities of the system (yet). But this may change later in the 3DS's lifespan.

I think Sony & Nintendo have done GREAT jobs on their new consoles & i hope that they both are successful next year and beyond, proving to doubters that Handhelds are here to stay!
