I liked both. But I liked UC2 better. They try to achieve different goals of telling their story and do a good job at it. But Alan wake is in no way better looking than UC2.

An open world game vs a linear game that is not fair, because open world games are more hardware demanding so developers have to lower the graphic quality in order to run well.

Have you played Alan Wake? Its not open world, the game just loads and renders the map but you are locked on a certain "path"

Anyways, Uncharted 2 looks better? but I don't see a real point because both are beautiful games with a great single player.

it shows how dumb it is. i have never even seen UC2 and i still voted "no". these threads are just a joke, lets just have fun.

AW looks good,but it was just somehow un polished,maybe to big bite for Remedy...UC2 is just polished as hell,from lip synce,animations,textures and post processing...everything is top notch,and AW is not there...

I like AW daytime gfx more than U2....in other hand U2 is more impressive than AW at night (so about 80% of the game).

someone back there said RDR tops both games. i think RDR looks good. some parts of AW excel, like the flares etc. its not perfect. ME2 is very consistent though.sts106mat

Technically RDR probably is near UC2,especially considering its open world game.It tops AW for sure...better textures,animations,character details,lip sync,much less blurry or jagged...its feast for eyes really.

Yeah, these threads need to stop. They have been done to death, a long with all the "foliage".

On topic though, as I have in every other thread, Uncharted 2.

Just like any other open world game, RDR has good and not so good moments. But the good ones (when everything is happening at the same time with an impressibe sunset at background and still no frame rate drops), it´s really umbelievable ;)

You know this isn't gonna end all Uncharted 2 vs Alan Wake threads right?

I voted Uncharted 2 because that game was visually stunning. I haven't played Alan Wake yet but i really want it (im to busy with Red Dead Redemption and ModNation Racers).

No but whenever a thread is posted about the graphics of the two I'll just point back to this thread. Shouldn't need discussion after people see the poll numbers. BTW, UC2 is in the lead 2:1

Alan Wake is a fantastic game, and it's not bad looking by any stretch of the imagination. But it's not graphics king material.

And also, when did this foliage nonsense start?
