Uncharted 2 To Have “Prettiest Snow” [Updated]

Update: Here’s a picture of one of the areas featuring snow in the game.

Original: We have all seen snow, or looked at it in the movies, and in some of these cases you may have seen some of the most beautiful showcases of snow. Well, it looks like you really haven’t seen anything, yet.

Naughty Dog is working to make Uncharted 2’s snow and ice as visually impressive as the stunning water effects found in Nathan Drake’s original adventure.

In a recent interview with Gamereactor.se, Naughty Dog producer Evan Wells boasted that with the new improvements to the Naughty Dog Engine 2, “[Uncharted 2] will have the prettiest snow you’ve ever seen in a game!”

“With Uncharted 2 and the Naughty Dog Engine 2 we can do much more, do it better and do it faster,” said Wells. “For example, we can see more polygons on screen, which allows us to create areas with even more detail than in the previous game.”

“In addition, we save no effort when it comes to the rendering of snow in Uncharted 2. It should be a banner to me to be the prettiest snow you have ever seen in a game!”
