DICE: Bad Company 2 'reaching' Uncharted 2's graphics
Upcoming FPS
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is "reaching" the graphical quality set by last year's stunning PS3-exclusive
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, but it will not surpass it, developer DICE had admitted.
Producer Gordon Van Dyke said no game can claim to better the graphics seen in Naughty Dog's
Uncharted 2.
"I wouldn't make that kind of claim," he said. "Uncharted 2 is an amazing-looking game. But we're reaching that level of quality. It's going to be hard for any game to be able to make a claim that they look better. But we are getting to, I feel, that level, where it's looking very impressive. When you see it - and I've heard other people say it as well, so it's not just me - other people are saying it's getting there."
Uncharted 2, released last year, raised the bar for video game graphics, with incredible animations and detailed environments wowing PS3 owners.
But Van Dyke reckons
Bad Company 2, which is our 37th most anticipated game of 2010, will surpass
Uncharted 2 in one key area: vistas.
"The thing is though, we have much bigger environments. To even be close, to me is quite an honour as a developer. The one thing I did was, when I looked at their game I was like, damn them! What have they done to the rest of us? I was looking for something where I could say, okay, that we're doing better. I looked at their vistas, and I think that our vistas, because it's in game, this is actual in-game terrain you could theoretically take your soldier and walk up to, our vistas are better. Naughty Dog, if you hear this, I challenge you versus our vistas!"
