Gears 3 vs Uncharted 3 beta graphics comparison: Which game looks better?

Posted by: Ahmad Dajani 09/Jul/2011
Both are exclusives, both have been played in a beta form, both are third person action games and both are amazing looking games. Why not to compare them, at least visually?

- The results:  
- Gears 3 vs Uncharted 3 Ground textures: Gears 3. - Gears 3 vs Uncharted 3 texture work in general: Gears 3 has better textures work. - Gears 3 vs Uncharted 3 lighting: Both games have great lighting effects. - Gears 3 vs Uncharted 3 motion blur: Gears 3.  
Remember that both games have been played only in beta form which means that both games might improve visually when both games arrive this year. It will be interesting to see how the final games will turn out to be.

after playing both betas i can say gears of war 3 is a hardcore game, uc3 is a casual game, gears looked better with more effects and things happening in the screen, uc3 feels clumky, empty, no destructible enviroments or nice smoke effects, i couldnt pass level 5 in the beta.. its meh..

i would give the vistory to gears on character detail, by a minute margin. the lighting on for the two both have their moments of greatness, so i'd call that one a tie. in terms of world detail, it's a draw, although i'd give it to uncharted, as i prefer a more vibrant palette rather than the predominent brown in the gears pics. in respect to those three aspects, i'd call it a tie, but i'd also like to add that gears has some damn fine cobblestones. (as an observation) NOTE: the above post is my subjective opinion, nothing else.

Yeah, Gears 3 has great motion blur, but it lacks two thing you didn't put in your comparison: FOV and 3D. These are what grant UC3 an equal graphical comparison, and I can't believe only one of your shots shows FOV (the very first UC3 shot)--it's like you tried not to find shots with FOV or motion blur (move on UC3, you'll see it). I also want to know what you're using to get screenshots, because the Gears 3 shots look like compressed 1080p while the UC3 shots look like 720p--my methods get much better 1080p screens. Not hating, but both games look great, except for some reason your UC3 shots lack any HSAA.

Gears 3 looked and played way better.

UC3 is more colourfull , GEOW3 is more detailed ...

Only morons will argue over which looks better, they both look good, they will likely both play good. So my advice, but whatever game you like more, play it and STFU about the others.

People who know more than ya`ll, know more than y`all. So Gears 3 looks better and U3 does not. There is not supposed to be any colour on Serra anyways..its like a barren apocalypse wasteland.

Since im getting both games i'll say its a tie. I like in the lighting in gears better but uncharted does seem to have a little more detail. but tbh who cares they're both going to have good visuals.

Once you notice the lack of any foliage at all in the Gears pics, you'll realize that the Uncharted engine is dealing with much more complicated scenes and geometry. Picture what's going on in the pics to their geometric primitives.
