Uncharted 2 Metacritic 9.8 so far !

It's a limitation of api.

Most xbox 360 games look the same as well. Most PC games ported over look the same.

If you use one API, you're eventually going to notice the glitz is all the same, you can only push the lighting so far, make the textures so detailed, before you hit limitations of the system.

This is the case with consoles in general. If you look back all ps2/xbox/gamecube games look the same, there's that one that stood out for it's time, but in retrospect you notice it's all basically the same thanks to limitations.

So far the 360 is more restricted when it comes to the Direct3D API as per Microsoft. There's only so many things they will let you do when it comes to coding to the metal.

As for the PS3 games looking alike, it's probably more art direction than anything technical. The PS3 uses LibGCM for their API, but I don't know all that much about it. Some neat examples of Cell doing graphics work are Uncharted 2 uses it for post processing effects, and Saboteur using SPUs to do MLAA (morphological anti-aliasing).
 
Yeah, I don't think it is limitation of API and trust me Uncharted 2 looks a helluva lot different than Resistance 2 and Killzone 2. Finally, Heavy Rain looks tons different than Uncharted games so I don't know what Frag has been smoking... :nuts:

:bleh:
 
So I am on Chapter 22 now and I had forgotten how much fun this game is. I need to finish it and move on to Uncharted 3. The remaster looks amazing still.
 
I just finished 4 and the thing I appreciate about the series is they don't mess around with a winning formula. They focus on quality character development, settings, and story and keep the gameplay relatively unchanged. No need for RPG elements or open world side quests. They just let you sit back and enjoy as they lead you through a great and fun adventure.

Yup. RPG elements are for bitches.
 
I finished it. It is absolutely stunning to look at even now and the gunplay is dope. The set pieces, the dialog, the music. I literally cannot find a fault with it. Even today it looks grand. :drool:
 
Uncharted 1 is the only of the series i ever played all the way through. I remember enjoying it a lot but just never got a chance to play through the others yet.

I've got 1,2, and 3 on PS3 but only so far just played the first couple hours of 2. This thread is making me want to play through it now though. I'm in the middle of Twilight Princess on GameCube so after that maybe this will be my next game.

Besides the final boss fight in UC2 is stupid and dumb.

UC3 is still my favorite.

The remaster on PS4 comes with all 3 games, runs at 60fps in 1080p, and is pretty cheap too. The combat in the first couple games feels alot tighter too.
 
Loved the 2nd game, absolutely blast! Unfortunately I hit a bug that prevented me from going further and I never completed it. Tried 3 times, but the game always crashed at the same point despite completely removing the game on PS3 and re-installing it :(

Eh, I've got them on PS3 which is still good enough for me. I don't need 60fps in a game like this.

I still don't own a PS4 either. You know me, I don't buy anything from current gen consoles.
 
Finished Uncharted 1 and have moved onto 2. I enjoyed 1 but there is definitely a big jump in graphics quality in 2. Really dont need incredible graphics to enjoy a game though as long as controls are tight and game play is fun.
