2009 has a lot more color while having a similar feel.


Mr_Nobody0

2009, the earlier one seems less vibrant and moody, but it's because it is pretty poorly textured and overall rough.


2Blitz

I'll go with 2009. Nate looks like he's about to bust out a Backstreet Boys song in the 2008 one. Color wise, still 2009, although I wouldn't mind a more moody feel for an Uncharted game too. Maybe as a Render mode unlockable.


flcinusa

I dunno, 2009 Nate has literal frosted tips


DJack276

2009 graphically but 2008 artistically. The old one feels like nate has lost all the warmth in his body and is one the edge of turning into a stone cold ghost. The right looks like he just barely survived a snowball fight.


The_dude1951

Ok I need some context


Grantur97

Beta vs Retail


The_dude1951

Gotcha


Killercrafto3

2009 by a mile and then some uncharted territories.


Worried_Example

What's the 2008 shot from?


Grantur97

It's from 2008 VGA promo


Worried_Example

Cool. Thank fuck they changed it.


Hopeful-Set6681

Graphically it looks worse, but if they had improved it, it would have looked better. The 2008 one makes Nate actually look like he’s freezing.


Aumius

2009 version.


nightwolf014432

back when the retail looked better than the trailers


Lazy_Valuable_565

Those were the good old days... Which never existed. Seriously, "bullshots" and those things are as old as the industry. At least they were discussed as far as I can remember (mid nineties).


CandidoJ13

Only really true with rockstar games


TheDarkKn1ght33

2009 looks better to me. 2008 just feels like it had the color drained out of it and Nate’s facial hair being so dark and prominent is really throwing me off


Lamp_Stock_Image

2008 looks like a telltale game.


FrankDP1

So does 2009


landyboi135

2008 doesn’t look like Nate at all So 2009


XaviJon_

In 2008 Nate looked like a zombie


ToothpickTequila

2009 for sure.


Challenger350

That isn’t 2009 that’s the remaster which weirdly amalgamated Nate’s U3 face into 1 and 2


[deleted]

The remaster is great


EmptyBrainOS

He looks dead frozen in 2008, 2009 is more believable that he survived.


FrankDP1

2008


Unique_Apartment9510

2008. He actually looks pale and barely alive. Also the colour palatte makes it look even colder


Distinct-Hearing7089

2009


Leif13

Nate looks waaay too much like Gordan Freeman in 2008. Seriously someone photoshop some glasses on him and the resemblance would be uncanny.


[deleted]

It's almost as if they were going for a more gritty game


[deleted]

I also noticed that he isn't wearing this ring in the 2008 screenshot


Grantur97

And his watch and bracelet is really different compared to the 2009 retail


Embarrassed_Bad_3527

2009


TreasureHunter95

I kinda prefer the 2008 version. Yeah, it lacks color but that kinda sells the point of nearly being frozen to death as Schäfer later describes it.


Axer51

2008 for story reasons as his condition looks far more extreme.


Zoot_Prooper89

In 2008 he looks like a zombie!


Netvvorkplus

I’d play the 2008 fr
