The adult female has a bone coloured beak, grey eye-rings, and its ear patches are paler than that of the male. The adult male has a dark grey beak and pink eye-rings. Its beak is longer and narrower than that of the closely related and similar Carnaby's black cockatoo. The irises are dark brown and the legs are brown-grey. Its lateral tail feathers are white with black tips, and the central tail feathers are all black. It has a crest of short feathers on its head, and it has whitish patches of feathers that cover its ears. It is mostly dark-grey with narrow vague light-grey scalloping, which is produced by narrow pale-grey margins at the tip of dark-grey feathers. ![]() Descriptionīaudin's black cockatoo is about 56 cm (22 in) long. ![]() However, an analysis of protein allozymes published in 1984 revealed the two Western Australian forms to be more closely related to each other than to the yellow-tailed, and the consensus since then has been to treat them as three separate species. He proposed that Western Australia had been colonised on two separate occasions, once by a common ancestor of all three forms (which became the long-billed black cockatoo), and later by what has become the short-billed black cockatoo. In a 1979 paper, Australian ornithologist Denis Saunders highlighted the similarity between the short-billed and the southern race xanthanotus of the yellow-tailed and treated them as a single species with the long-billed as a distinct species. The three species of the genus Zanda have been variously considered as two, then as a single species for many years. Males and females of the latter group have markedly different plumage, whereas those of the former have similar plumage. The two groups are distinguished by differing juvenile food begging calls and the degree of sexual dimorphism. Previously this genus was considered a subgenus of Calyptorhynchus, with the red-tailed black cockatoo and glossy black cockatoos forming another subgenus, Calyptorhynchus. ![]() The two Western Australian white-tailed black cockatoo species, the short-billed Carnaby's black cockatoo and this long-billed Baudin's black cockatoo, together with the yellow-tailed black cockatoo Zanda funerea of eastern Australia are allied in the genus Zanda. Carnaby's black cockatoo ( Zanda latirostris) and Baudin's black cockatoo were previously classified as the same species.Ĭommon names include Baudin's black cockatoo or long-billed black cockatoo.

Naughty Dog did a really great job with that game and you can tell they did put a lot of (long) work on it.īut I have to say that on pc, if you can't push RotTR to its max settings, you won't be able to tell how good this game looks. I've played Uncharted 4, and, in my opinion, it's the best looking game on consoles. Originally posted by 93Florent:I honestly think that both did an excellent job pushing hardware to limit. Then I was pretty surprised that didn't happen.Īlso, U4 and Rise are pretty linear games so can't agree that makes a difference. I spent 30$ on Rise expecting that my GTX 1070 will blow U4 visuals out of the water. the Snow section of Tomb Raider looks pretty bad in comparison. ![]() I love pc gaming high frame rates and great visuals and all,īut i've never really noticed Low res textures at the corner of the screen in U4.Īs a whole package U4 visuals looked amazing.Īnd yes. You could get a Titan XP and a 4K IPS 144hz monitor and say it looks better than U4. It looks like you have played both U4 and Rise or atleast acknowledge the existence of U4. If you look at these two screenshots, U4 clearly has some issues with low res textures around the edge of the screen in the distance which TR (when on AFx16) never seems to have.įirstly, just like to say that I appreciate a comment from someone who knows what he's talking about! Also the textures in TR are more consistant IMO as U4 has nice textures but the anisotropic filtering is awful. Also uncharted is much more linear than TR so the console can manage to put out such good visuals and the fact that its an exclusive means the devs only have to optimise it for 1 platform. I think the snowy areas of Rise maybe don't look as good as i personally don't really like the snow, but in syria and geothermal valley rise definatly looks better, especially at 4k ultra. Full 4k, higher res textures (requieres 6gb vram), better res shadows, better lighting, better AO (VXAO), better hair effects, better reflections etc. Originally posted by JonathanWhiting13:Rise looks better mate. But either way both games look good, I just get the feeling that U4 isn't as good looking as people seem to think it is and that overall Rise has a more consistant look with very few compromises (not to say that there are non) and the overall look is better than U4 IMO. Maybe im just being a PC elitist, but after playing alot of games on PC and console you start to realise that consoles cut alot of corners to look as good as they do which the PC dosn't have to do and as a result you end up with problems like blury textures and shadows in the background. If you look at these two screenshots, U4 clearly has some issues with low res textures around the edge of the screen in the distance which TR (when on AFx16) never seems to have.
