the first gears of war came out in late 2006. Uncharted 1 came out one year later. are you telling me Naughty Dog saw Gears and in a single year created a new engine, game mechanics etc because they saw gears of war running? lmao
June 2006, Uncharted announcement video. Most of its elements are there, cover shooter included: and guess what...gears wasn't even out yet
I'm extremely interested in this and will probably buy it when discounted. It's not so much i'm involved with the Last of Us circlejerk involved on NeoGAF, but my fondness for post-apocalyptic and dysoptian settings in media.
Lazy ass devs are too lazy to change their entire game to suit the most powerful graphics card's capabilities.
You can only make a game look so good to a certain extent before you start fundamentally changing the art direction, geometry, physics, realism, the frickin' engine. At least you get the most frames possible with a 4090, or you can try running it at 8k, should look really cinematic
