There is no denying that Uncharted is the most graphically impressive game to be shown for the PS3. But how does it really stack up against all of the competition?

Now the competition

Yeah, it blows Tomb Raider away.

And yes, I've played Tomb Raider.

Watch the videos of Uncharted, and it is quite obvious. The lushness of the jungle, the smoothness of the animations, the seamlessness in the transition between shooting to hand-to-hand combat to platforming...everything is way beyond Tomb Raider.

And that is my honest opinion.

Tomb Raider looks shiner and some of the environment is flat and not as detailed or colorful as Uncharted.  Also, Uncharted is in development.

You've got to be kidding me? Tomb Raider looks like a PS1 game when stacked up against Uncharted.

Tomb Raider was a port of a PS2/Xbox game and it looks every bit as good as Uncharted. Kind of sad for the cows. LOL at "the actual game beats the target renders". Now that is complete and total bull. Let me guess it also beats Pixar right?

Uncharted is by far the best looking game that I have seen for the PS3.  I think the color palette that ND used along with amount of plant life really does a good job of adding alot of immersion to the jungle setting.

Actually, Tomb Raider does alot of things graphically rather beautifully. I take it that your not a fan of the art style.

Uncharted looks okay but not great. The character models are too plasticy and the environments are kind of sloppy in most of the shots I've seen so far.

Uncharted has over 300 animations for the character and the AI, haven't seen anything like that for the 360 yet.

I don't understand why 360 fans try to use Kameo as a graphical comparison.  The game just has a lot of overdone special effects to cover up what's really going on.  And only upclose are textures nice, from afar it looks rather bad.  Check out the cave textures in this shot.

fuzzysquash

To be brutally honest, those pictures look more or less the same as Perfect Dark Zero... I can't say I'm impressed by that game. I will concede that the facial features are more detailed, but seriously, to me this game doesn't look that much different from Perfect Dark Zero in the jungle missions.

I wonder if anyone can explain why a white cotton T-shirt and jeans are as reflective as that guy's belt buckle?

No it does not, this game is on my top fav list, but you can easily see that the old trailer looks better, just compare the old 720p trailer with the new one and you will see it.

The target trailer had no overused lightning and blum effect, a bit better textures, there is also more plant and it's also better looking and it had no jaggies not even a bit, a really strong aa which the current game does not have.

I do like the current graphics, i think that they are th best graphics so far with Crysis but they are downgraded compared to the target trailer.

Agreed. Uncharted is the best looking game I've seen for the PS3 too.

It's also the best looking unreleased console game too. Mass Effect is nice, as is Gears, but neither really compare extremely well to Uncharted. I must admit Crysis definitely looks better than Uncharted. 

Isn't it amazing how good Uncharted is turning out? At first I didn't have high hopes for it at all.

I noteced that too, and was going to mention it if no one else had. I see this happen very often in threads like this, it's wierd. :? (a recent thread I saw this happen in was a R&C thread, with a painting to show of how good the game looks :lol: )

Indeed, in its PRE-RENDERED form it looks amazing, try the real thing that looks like crap though, and Tomb Raider does not seem too bad

 

The below pics is looking TERRIBLE  though

Uncharted looks much better than Tom Raider, but Tomb Raider was really fun. At least Lara is easier on the eyes than Drake. At least in my opinion.

greg...I do not think that I have ever seen you not complain about something graphical about every PS3 game..give it a break heathen bathing ape of the northeastern hemisphere.
