I'm sure many of you remember when the first exclusive trailer of Uncharted 2 was shown at the awards ceremony; that same night they dubbed the game one of the most amazing looking games this generation has to offer. Apparently that statement might just be completely true given the fact that the guys at Naughty Dog have stated that Uncharted 2 has effectively "maxed out" the PS3.

During a preview of Uncharted 2 at PAX, Amy Henning from Naughty Dog commented that the first Uncharted used only a third of the PS3's power, but this time around Uncharted 2 has gone way beyond that.

According to JoyStiq, Naughty Dog explained that the way they made this possible was "by taking a lot of the processes on the main processor and shifting them onto the SPUs (which may be one of the reasons why it could never work on Xbox 360). This allowed the developers to significantly increase the quality of the animations and other aspects of the game, leaving the main processor to" "focus on getting all of that richness in the backgrounds." In other words, the game is stunning.
