Exclusive: Next Uncharted Graphics Leap Impossible on PS3 - News (PS3)

ncharted 3 isn’t just an incremental update - we did change lots and lots of things - but graphically speaking, it’s not going to have the same gap [as between Uncharted 1 and 2]," Richmond said. "It was never going to happen.

"The way we made it, how much of the PS3’s power we were using... that huge gap that you saw between Uncharted 1 and 2 is the kind of thing that really only happens once per generation. We pushed it really hard." Richmond added that the graphical leap was thanks to a rewriting of the core engine's architecture, something that Naughty Dog only hopes to do once every console cycle.
