Uncharted 2 trailer was rendered in Real Time

December 03, 2008 in News comments 17

There were some disbelief about the Uncharted 2 trailer being CGI. Well knowing the amazing graphics of the first game, many knew that this wasn't CGI, and Naughty Dog has proven in it. They said the trailer was running in real time on their engine.

The Uncharted 2 teaser trailer sent waves through the forums. One question that kept arising; is the trailer rendered in real-time, or is it fancy CGI? Naughty Dog has exclusively given Gamezine the answer.

Richard Diamant, Naughty Dog's Lead Character Artist, told Gamezine; "Yes, the trailer was all rendered real-time in our engine."

So there you have it. Naughty Dog are one of the few developers to dislike creating false expectations with CGI trailers, and just like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, their very first teaser is rendered in real-time.

    Just as i and many others thought, thank you LPF for bringing us this and proving very many people right in their assumptions.

    Who totally called it? Yes, we all did. Kudos to all of us.

    In which case...I believe that aside from KZ2, we have the best looking game of this generation. The level of detail on Nathan is astounding, especially on the closeup.

      I disagree Red, like DragonMaster Dyne, and probably the only rare times we'll agree, is that God of War 3 will blow every good looking game out right now, and some of these titles out of the water. Jaffe already stated how epic the graphics is compared to Gears, and its not even finished yet.

    Is their word really that much proof? I remember a certain company bragging for months that their Killzone one was real until it all came out in the open

      Except that since Uncharted, we know they're plenty capable of pulling it off. Besides, KZ2 looks damn comparable if not better than the trailer.

      I don't think Guerilla ever said it was real time, they just never said it was CGI. Or something to that effect.

      Seems reasonable enough in this case, the graphics didn't seem to bust my eyeballs like everyone is saying it did, perhaps it was just the particular video I saw.

        It was Jack Tretton that stated the Killzone 2's original trailer was in-game but it was then uncovered he was talking about I-8, which then turned out to be Resistance: Fall of Man. Though there were some facts left out that it was a pre rendered clip but to Playstation 3 spec so the PS3 could easily replicate it, which they have shown it can and at a higher framerate too, the original trailer was rendered at 15 frames and upped to 25 to make it run, in realtime the game is rendered on the PS3 at 30 and runs at 30, so the PS3 in real time is plenty powerful.

        As for Uncharted i think the only impressive thing was the scenery and knowing that the snow deformation could be like that in the actual game, Nathan looked high res as always but that is what gave it away. His clothes just weren't as polished or as fluid as they would have been in a pre rendered clip, so good ol' Nathan gave the secret up that it was all real time.

          For a real time render that's pretty impressive. You know from Drake's Fortune how good it'll look whilst you play.

      If there's an honest video game company that's Naughty Dog, believe it.

    Nice, but I pretty much knew it was footage from the game, though. Like everyone else on Neoseeker/ GameGrep.

    I can't help but think God of War 3 is going to blow all of these games out of the water graphically.

    But anyways; I've only played Uncharted and MGS4 on my PS3, and I liked Uncharted more.

    I cant wait for the sequel.

    I'm not even referring to neoseeker though. It's all over the net this year. Bah humbug! Really looking forward to seeing what they show at the VGAs. We all knew a sequel was coming, but the timing of the teaser/announcement was a shock to me.

      I didn't expect a teaser until, like, March.
