Uncharted 2 has set a new benchmark in visuals. The game had plenty of stunning moments and the country of Nepal was represented in such a way that no video game before was able to do. But there are about a number of games that can challenge Uncharted 2 visually. Here are six of them:
God of War 3
God of War 3 is one the games that will give Uncharted 2: Among Thieves a good challenge.The character models and their animations are top notch. The way the blood is represented in the game is truly unique. Hell, when you are hacking n slashing blood will pour all over your body much like when Nathan Drake gets his clothes wet. The scale of the environments are stunning and the huge enemies should look amazing on your HDTV. Watch this game closely as this might give Uncharted 2: Among Thieves a good scare.
Assassins Creed 2
Ubisoft have always been known for their amazing visuals in their video games. The way that Ezio moves is amazing. The animations of Ezio and that of Drake while jumping and diving are almost very much similar since both games essentially have a lot of plat forming sections in them. Again as with many of Ubisoft games the scale of the cities in Italy is going to be amazing. Ezio will move and attack in a realistic way which will make Ezio very much similar to our hero Nathan Drake.
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Sam Fisher never looked so good. And in the upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive, Conviction should be able to challenge Uncharted 2 visuals. The firefights and the presentation is awesome which makes Conviction a game that we should keep an eye out for. The only thing that might go against is this game is the graphics of the enemies, so far they are pretty bland. If Ubisoft can fix them up than we are in for a treat.
Rage
Rage is an upcoming first-person shooter and racing video game being developed by id Software.It will be using the id Software’s new id Tech 5 engine.Now Rage is one game that looks visually stunning. And as its being developed by id Software we can be rest assure the end product will be nothing short of spectacular. We at-least here are counting on this beautiful piece of art. Rage will surely be a visual delight for all parties concerned. Hope it doesn’t disappoint.
Heavy Rain
Heavy Rain being developed by, Quantic Dreamc, who also made games like Fahrenheit,is an upcoming AAA PS3 title. Ever since it was first shown back at E3 2006, it caught the eyes of everyone and people were stunned by the quality of tech demo that was shown. Everyone has been in love with heavy rain since then and one of the reason is the sense of realism associated with Heavy Rain. Everything seems so close to real life that everytime you see a new Heavy Rain trailer you are left amazed and thats mainly due to the awe-inspiring visuals. We bet Heavy Rain will give Uncharted 2 a run for its money as far as the graphics are concerned.
Alan Wake
Alan Wake is an upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive by Remedy Entertainment, the company behind Max Payne games. It features open-ended world backed by an epic story. First thing you notice about Alan Wake are the beautiful visuals. Everything from environment to characters seems stunning and attention to detail is clearly shown on screen. This is one game to watch out for in 2010. And definitily should make the guys at Naughty Dog a bit worried.

lmao everyone comparing pc games like crysis to consoles, and no other games on any other console come close to u2 visually and gameplay, sorry but rage/ac2/aw/sc look good but for visuals they are not even close to u2, if you think they are you are just liying to yourself period

Just the demos alone of Crysis 2 for the 360 and PS3 absolutely leave Uncharted 2 for dead visually. gameplay wise theres nothing special about Uncharted 2 at all.

I think Rage is likely the best on the list, seeing as it’s using the id Tech 5 engine, and id Tech engine games usually always stand the test of time, graphically and otherwise, and not to mention those engines are used for many other games.
AC2 is def a game that I am looking forward to, and it doesn’t look too bad at all.

Gran Turismo 5? Duh!!! I also think he’s only implying Console games, because games like Crysis on the PC can only run top notch if you have a high-end pc.

SHauHSuaHSausaSa…” Erm, Crysis, STALKER, Resident Evil 5 PC, Arkham Asylum PC and ArmA II all look better than Uncharted 2 – to name a few.”

I think every body on this site is missing the reason why uc2 is so unbelievably good looking. its not just the high res textures its the fact that when your playing a building could be falling down while a choper is shoting at you with an incredible draw distance with the high res textures and the framerate never drops. all of the games on this list are good but you wont see as much going on on screen as you do in uc2 with the high res textures, and yes crysis looks a hell of alot better but when i played it theres never that much going on on screen. GOW 3 is another example of my point, when youre playing on the back of a giant 400ft unscripted titan thats climbing up a mountian does any body know just how much processing power that takes? a hell of a lot more than crysis. my point is its not just texture quality that you have to take into account when talking about “graphics”.

all that stuff in God of War 3 is scripted, same with Uncharted 2. play the game a million times and the helicopter will always shoot the building in the same spot (although since most things are physics based these days the rubble MIGHT fall differently) and will always follow the same path, same with the giant titans.

…………. so ………… id like to see an xbox pull of the visual awesomeness that uncharted 2 or god of war 3 have………. and heavy rain just has amazing graphics…….. maybe not everything going on like u2 or gow3 but the character models and environments are some of the best ever……….. sure crysis has amazing graphics…….. but i personally think graphics does not only mean the specs or whatever……… its visual design, frame rate, specs, color, and others……. example: okami has some of the best graphics ever but the specs arent so good……. uncharted 2 has amazing visual design, frame rate, color, and probably the best specs besides maybe crysis and its tied with gow 3……… and also, crysis is: forest, water, and some snow……. uncharted: forest, train, mountains, snow, ice, village, city, and more so what now?!?!?!?!?!

Like Joe said, they’re scripted sequences. Crysis has true procedural destruction, try it by throwing a grenade into a house. Draw distance can always be adjusted in PC games, and Cryengine 2 and 3 can draw bigger than 200 square kilometers maps! Just try precaching the whole map and then looking down from somewhere. Playing on the back of a 400ft titan is nothing compared to that.

Maybe there’s not much going on the screen in Crysis, it depends a lot on how you play. You can sneak, or you can go in with a bang. Or if you want, skip the fights completely.
TRY WARHEAD. It’s called Warhead for a reason. It has a lot more action in it, and totally wipes the floor with Uncharted 2.

The only game to match uncharted 2 on graphics is crysis, which is better in technical aspects but is kicked off by the details and polish of U2. Oh and mass effect cannot have better graphics than U2 because its an xbox 360 game and sadly 360 has met its full potential while the ps3 has just started showing great AAA games. (U2, Killzone 2, god of war e.t.c)

all that say crysis looks better than uncharted 2 or uncharted 1 or killzone 2 or heavy rain or metal gear 4 or ratchet and clank or any other ps3 exclusive, your basically saying crysis looks better than any movie, which means that in the mind of the pc fan, east is west and north is south, and macy gray looks better than beyonce and up is down pc fans are just that backwards when it comes to visual judgement

You really don’t know what you’re talking about. Crysis is so much further in every way possible, because of one simple thing.
THE PC HAS MORE POWER THAN THE CONSOLES.
Console fanboys just won’t accept the fact that their machines is made of cheap parts so everyone could buy them.
