It still looks like a game to me. If you're going for photo realism then you'll need new hardware. These consoles are showing their age and what I've seen from this game looks average. Just my opinion though...

IronFist4415d ago

Are you serious? This is one of the best looking games I've ever seen on console, and even gives some PC games a run for their money.

MasFlowKiller4415d ago

Damn I really cant wait for E3,
dying to see gameplay

piroh4415d ago

well, good looking games aren't made by hardware. good looking games are made by good developers

that's why PS3 shines all over competition

according to VGA, IGN and other respected sources:
best looking game of 2008 - MGS4
best looking game of 2009 - U2
best looking game of 2010 - GOW3
best looking game of 2011 - U3

danieldeath4415d ago

LOL this game ,if build for the PC can run 10 times better.Its just that PC doesn't have a love from devs.
The graphics are good though ,not great.

ZeroX98764415d ago

If build for the PC, the hardware needed to run it to the maximum would probably cost more than double what the price of the ps3 is.

Graphic benchmark games are always overhyped and are forgotten pretty fast. I'm Still playing super smash brawl, starcraft 2,minecraft, etc. but I don't regularly play Crysis (1 or 2). Sometimes Gameplay is gimped because of graphics. I'm a PC, 360, PS3,Wii, 3ds Vita, psp,DS, etc. Owner, so Graphic is the least of my worries, bring me some good gameplay instead.

Trenta274415d ago

It's a CGI cutscene. You haven't seen gameplay yet. For all we know, the graphics of the actual game might suck (Doubt that, but still. I'm proving a point) Also, it doesn't give PC games a run for its money.

StanSmith4415d ago

The graphics are average? Good?

Did you see the same trailer that i just watched? They look amazing!

As for photorealism and this still looking like a game, show me a PC game that doesn't look like a game. There isn't one. Even Battlefield 3 and Crysis still look like games. You're making out that PC's are generations in front of consoles when they aren't.

Graphically, yes they are better but they still look like games. I swear PC elitists forget that graphics don't mean crap if your physics and animations are poor (two things Naughty Dog get right everytime as well as having the best graphics on consoles).

TekoIie4415d ago

@Piroh

"According to VGA, IGN and other respected sources"

HA, respected?? Your kidding right? None of those are respected at all.

We all know for a fact that U3 wasnt the best looking game of 2011, its worthy of a nomination but it has nothing on BF3 for PC...

BlmThug4415d ago

Show me actual gameplay and not a trailer, nearly all trailers are on the level of the top PC games, doesnt mean they look like that in game though

SilentNegotiator4415d ago (Edited 4415d ago )

Oh here we go.

Someone talks about how good a console game looks and how it "takes the crown" (or whatever), and a couple of insecure PC gamers have a fit because the obvious fact that we're talking about consoles flies over their heads.

Oh and a bunch of 360 gamers suddenly become PC gamers when it's a ps3 game.

I'm pretty new to PC gaming myself, but I have a decent rig, and yes, games look spectacular. But the difference is that I have the common sense NOT to think that articles are implying that a console game looks better than games on your 580GTX.

So stop it before I take away your pacifiers.

joab7774415d ago

how can we say that a cutscene represents great graphics? Because i am pretty sure that just like uncharted, there wont b any loading, it will phase directly into gameplay that will be slightly better than U3. That makes it great for consoles. It will probably be the best looking title of this gen on consoles.

That being said, pc obviously trumps it. But, most developers could learn from naughty dog...alot. I am a little sad that they dumped the cell processor. It was obviously the memory that limited the ps3, not the card architexture. But, it all comes down to gameply amd ill b interested to see how different it is from uncharted. But, damn so far so good.

Peppino74415d ago

In-game graphics are beginning to close in of cutscene prerendered. This is one of those games that's blurring the lines between the two. The only other game I can think of right now is Tomb Raider reboot. Both look stunning and make you want to get your hands on the game right now!

SilentNegotiator4414d ago (Edited 4414d ago )

"Kind of like how PS3 gamers all of the sudden LOVE the PC when discussing Xbox 360 games like Witcher, Minecraft, or Alan Wake's American Nightmare"

Ummm, nope. Not at all like that.

PC/360 games are multiplatform. You don't have to even LIKE pc gaming to see that. Sorry, nice try though. I saw trolls coming from a mile away to try that one.

And by the way, you're talking to a gamer that really IS a pc/ps3 gamer, so don't even bother. Just keep it to yourself, since that's all you're fooling by saying that pc/360 games are "exclusive".

4414d ago
Ducky4414d ago (Edited 4414d ago )

"Oh and a bunch of 360 gamers suddenly become PC gamers when it's a ps3 game."

The PC is just a platform that everyone tags along with when it's in their favour.
The hypocrisy itself is on both sides.

Same goes for gaming journalism and game awards.
They're considered a joke when they disagree with our own opinion, but they're proudly flaunted when they go in one's favour.

As for 'exclusive' games; a game can be both exclusive and multiplatform at the same time.
Exclusive means that one or more platforms are being excluded.
Multiplatform means that two or more platforms can play the game.
Ofcourse, using the literal definition of those words is a bit silly, so the definition of both those words also change whenever they're in one's favour.

AngryTypingGuy4414d ago

Naughty Dog and Santa Monica are the graphics kings so far this gen, in my opinion.

Naughty dog games look the same in gameplay as In cutscenes so the trailer's graphics are representative of the gameplays graphics. I can't wait to see more about this game at e3

NewZealander4415d ago

ill hold judgment too, im sure it will look great, but we have seen this from naughty dog before, trailers that look quite different to the final build...

agree with you there on there cutscenes quite a few times in Uncharted 3 the cutscene was over & i was still watching waiting to see what would happen next because i hadnt realised the cut scene was over!

What the PC elitists always gloss over is that the odd, maxed out gaming PC screenshot that looks better than some console games aren't indicative of what the average PC gamer sees. PC hardware various wildly to the point where games either look drastically different than high end specs or won't run at all.

With the consoles you know every PS3 owner is going to have the exact same experience from their games. The game isn't going to look and run like hell on one PS3 compared to another PS3, which is the norm for PC gaming. The PC gaming experience can fluctuate wildly depending on many factors ranging from hardware, drivers, what OS you're using, running applications, etc...etc. The "every game is better on a PC," attitude isn't based in reality. The reality is majority of PC's out in the wild can't even run today's games.

Omnislash4415d ago

Nobody is talking about PC here GTFO!

PS3/PC is the best combo of gaming but still that does not mean PC is the best out there. Why would I want to build a 600 dollar PC every 2 years so I have to jump through hoops to play D3?

pr0digyZA4414d ago

@darkride66
lol say what?
"every PS3 owner is going to have the exact same experience from their games"-say that to the people with smaller tv's or standard definition televisions as there are a lot more of them out there than you think.

"run like hell on one PS3 compared to another PS3, which is the norm for PC gaming" Where is some proof for that sounds like you are just spouting out stuff. I would assume i if someone cant run a game on max then they would put it on medium or go for the console version.

Neutro4414d ago

Hey guess what I will see when I play this game on release day? Obviously the beautiful game that it will turn out to be. What will you see when you play a game on your PC? Uhh, your not playing yet because your too busy setting it up for it to actually look good enough to play LOL! Point is? You need to go adjust this and that just for your game to look "superior" while I can just insert in the disc and play and it'll already look beautiful without having to adjust anything.

clrlite4414d ago (Edited 4414d ago )

LaChance, why so mad br0?

Why would people be mad that PS3 has another amazing exclusive?

Perhaps they are brainwahsed fanbois?

...and why all the PC nubs talking about graphics as if they are more important than gameplay(don't worry i have a pc. I'm on it right now)?

I run all my games on high but alot of ps3 titles still blow my mind. Simply turning games on high dont matter if character and landscape models suck in general. Its like when i run my wii games on dolphin set at 1080p with everything on high. May be a little sharper but they're still pretty darn ugly when all said and done. It all comes down to optimization which is something 95% of all pc devs don't do

Average? Are you serious bro? These are the best graphics i've seen on a console so far and even better than some PC games i've seen.

TheDarkTyrant4414d ago

That's weird... I've never seen a wrong opinion...

It's obvious that they're not going for photo realism, because real life doesn't look this good...

Besides, Call of Duty has Photo Realism locked down on competition and apparently you don't need new hardware to run that...

1Victor4414d ago

Not to offend you WaRiTh but you look like you need some NV glasses to see under there give us a video of a console game not on PS3 that looks better than this video. I know the finished game might not look 100% like the video so let save the judgments and trolling for the day the game comes out.

People said the same thing about Uncharted, and it looked AS good in the gameplay as it did in cutscene. Plus, this is in-game footage.

Shaman4415d ago (Edited 4415d ago )

Its in engine, like ACIII trailer. Balestra (CEO of ND) showed their rendering farm for in engine cutscenes.

Look at released screenshots than compare it to this trailer. There is rather noticable difference. This trailer would have trouble running at 30fps on high end PCs, let alone console.

Lol at people giving me disagrees. I can already picture cry babys yelling "stop it please", "you are lying" even though I posted a PICTURE of PS3 rendering farm straight from NAUGHTY DOG. Man you people are pathetic...

sjaakiejj4414d ago

@Shaman

I saw this article, and I already knew you would be commenting here on how the footage was supposedly "infeasible to run on Ps3 hardware", and thus must be "pre-rendered". I open the comments section, and search for "Shaman", and BINGO you're here :)

Yes Naughty Dog has a rendering farm for CG cutscenes. Does that mean that every cutscene is CG? The answer to that is a big fat no.

This cutscene is in-engine footage. Naughty Dog have re-iterated that it is _not_ pre-rendered. Furthermore, there's nothing in this trailer that would make it run at only 30fps on high-end systems. It's filled with trickery, and would run very well (better than Crysis 2) on High-End PCs.

@Shaman, I see your point, but what people are probably disagreeing with is the amount of hate that website is spewing. The author seemed butthurt, and thus very unprofessional. And by the way, those after builds still set benchmarks for graphics on consoles. As for PCs, enjoy the minimal amount of games for that.

Well it's in game footage so it probably look's like what you're seeing except without a HUD.

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.

Lightning7713d 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.

rippermcrip12d ago

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

neomahi12d 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

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.

anast12d 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?

MIDGETonSTILTS1712d 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."

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"

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