I really love the look of that forest level. Getting tired of grey and brown war-torn cityscapes.

There's a book? I didn't know that, hopefully it'll be good and then they can make a movie adaptation of it.
Sort of OT:
Regarding Uncharted's in-game vs cutscene graphics, the difference is noticeable exactly in both aspects they mentioned. You can clearly see the difference in shadow resolution, just look at some of the characters' close-ups, no flickery shadows anywhere. The lighting difference might be more difficult to see for some, but it's there. I think some effects like smoke were better too.
Now, as for this R2 intro, it seems to be their in-game engine with in-game assets. However, more AA and AF I guess, and the lighting/shadowing is cranked up to MAX.

There is clearly motion blur as well in the cutscenes...or is that in the game as well?
As far as the vid goes, it looks pretty good, but it seems like they took any old clip from the game and turned it into a trailer. Without context it wasn't very interesting. The first trailer of the game showing Hale looking at the onslaught of the Chimera, it was pretty easy to figure out what was going on, and it was pretty interesting to see. "Hale and friends ambushed on a road going through a forest" isn't too terribly interesting, IMO. It's a good way to set up a level...but not a good way to build hype for a game release. The first trailer hit the nail on the head.

R1, if I remember correctly, didn't have any motion blur, and I can't say I remember seeing any in R2 gameplay videos I've seen so far.FightyF said:

Even if the game has motion blur there's no way it's as good as the one in that cutscene.Marconelly said:

It'll be the final code that ships on the disk (or close to it) but we'll probably use the public beta tuning data and bug spotting to work on a Day 1 patch.
And to be fair, MP isn't going to look as good as SP does. It can't really when you have to deal with the much larger levels, number of models, and number of effects going off. That said, it still looks good... but not as mind-blowing as SP looks.

Not mine words really... several journalists who played last night said it.
We had an awesome event (once our internet connection finally got working) and folks got to check out all three game modes including two full single-player levels.
In addition, we ran some eight-player co-op... Ted, Ryan, Bryan, Mike (lead competitive designer), Frank (our sr. producer), JSD (one of our awesome testers and forum admins) and I ran the first round... we were doing great until the last part of the level and got completely surrounded and devastated... everyone was gasping and laughing as we had this desperate firefight.
Anyways - lots of fun had by all. We're going to NYC to show all of this stuff to the journalists on that side of the country, and then you'll see coverage on all of your favorite sites, including direct-feed gameplay, screens etc.

Awesome. So, WTF is happening with the beta code up here in Canada? How come we keep being told by EB "we don't have any" or "what are you talking about" ? I've even started thinking the bastards at that chain are planning on hording the codes for themselves.
BTW, why are you even partnering with them? Most of can't stand the sales tactics those turds use.

Just called my Gamestop in Bristol, CT. They're getting codes either today or Monday.

Not really sure to be honest exactly WHAT is going on... though I heard again today that more folks on MyRes got physical vouchers at their local Gamestop stores. YMMV. And since we're partnering with Gamestop (so says the vouchers) not sure if that means EB gets them.
If EB Games/Gamestop share the same phone customer service, you might be able to use them + a receipt for a pre-order to get a code e-mailed, again YMMV.

Shit. So, I gave EB $10 early because I thought that they'd get the beta code since Gamestop owns EB Canada too.
I'm not picking Qore just for a beta. I'd rather wait than do that. I'm sitll holding out for a special invite to all former private beta invitees, but I guess that won't be happening either.

Holy shits. You know, same thing happened to me. I went in to pre-order, and the girl behind the counter is like "is that for the 360?" I hate them with a passion. I buy my shit there once in a while. I'd rather go to Future Shop, Best Buy, Zellers, Toys R Us...just about anywhere else.
