Here is a Beta screenshot, showing how much the game has improved.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
It's sooooo pretty. I don't think it's technically the best though. It's not even better than Crysis.
i can not understand why people find this game graphically impressive at all.

I agree... the textures are just really bad, the physics don't add much, the size isn't all that impressive, and the player count is very low. Halo games may have somewhat decent gameplay but their graphics have never been a standout quality.

yeah, looks like an N64 game.
It looks worse than average.gamebreakerz__No it doesn't. As for topic it looks nice but not graphic king material IMO. If you want a game that loks worse than average check out Perfect Dark Zero, Vampire Reign Bullet Witch.
Halo is known to have large areas with large amounts of people unlike many of the hallway shooters now so it will be interesting to see Reach considering Bungie has said they have doubled the amount of enemy AI and vehicles on screen at once. I think graphically what Reach is doing will be better then many of the so called graphic kings. It is MUCH harder to pull off what bungie is doing with 40 enemy AI and in a large area then 3-4 enemy AI in a small area.
I am glad Bungie did not feel pressure to buckle and make a hallway shooter to compete for the graphics king title and instead make the type of game that made them legands.
Considering the beta honestly looked no better then Halo 3 and was also a jagfest I'm calling bullshots. Unless the campaign is sigificantly better looking then the Reach beta I've played then Halo Reach is no graphics king.
With that said I do believe Reach is a good looking game and I think the scale that bungie is going after is impressive... I think the texture work, geometry, and effects are good, they just need to add AA to make the game look great. However if the beta is any indication of Reach's graphics then it will remain a jagfest like the others before it and should not even be considered to be in the top 10 best looking console games.

I'm pretty sure Halo CE and Halo 2 were considered one of the Xbox's best looking games. For their time they were very impressive. You may want to retract that last statement.[QUOTE="arto1223"][QUOTE="ferret-gamer"]

Well said, i also find it ironic that even the best looking shooters dont have an impact community wise and sales wise as halo. I guess the consumers has spoken that better gameplay is more important than graphicsI'm pretty sure Halo CE and Halo 2 were considered one of the Xbox's best looking games.

P-vs-P

yeah, it sucked so bad it had the best looking console games all gen. gg.

Yeah :roll: The only problem with your statement is that the Xbox usually had the best looking games and beat out the PS2 and Gamecube 95% of the time when it came to grahpics.[QUOTE="karasill"][QUOTE="arto1223"]I'm pretty sure Halo CE and Halo 2 were considered one of the Xbox's best looking games.

Riddick was impressive but it was also a hallway shooter. Halo was just a small step down with a much bigger open environment.I agree... the textures are just really bad, the physics don't add much, the size isn't all that impressive, and the player count is very low.

now you see thats just not a fair comparison, your posting a really bad picture of modern warfare 2, mw2 may not look as good as reach but it doesnt look THAT badConsidering the beta honestly looked no better then Halo 3 and was also a jagfest I'm calling bullshots. Unless the campaign is sigificantly better looking then the Reach beta I've played then Halo Reach is no graphics king. With that said I do believe Reach is a good looking game and I think the scale that bungie is going after is impressive... I think the texture work, geometry, and effects are good, they just need to add AA to make the game look great. However if the beta is any indication of Reach's graphics then it will remain a jagfest like the others before it and should not even be considered to be in the top 10 best looking console games.karasillthey have MSAAx2. improvment from the beta are SSAO, better color contrast and better/ smoother AA (no more ghosting), The entire game recieved another layer of polish. and campaign always looks noticeably better than MP in halo. its funny people are bashing the textures. In halo 3 some textures are crystal clear even under the view of x4 sniper scope, if Reach has twice the texture resolution and higher native reasolution how could it look bad? then bungie has stated that Reach has 4 million more polygons on screen than Halo 3. Reach has a 3d sky box meaning those clouds and mountain in the back ground are 3D unlike UC2's 2D clouds, other than that, reach has 10 times more dynamic lights than Halo 3 does (40), each plasma bolt is its own light source and an enrgy sowrd casts light on everything around it, The character models have 30K polygons in them, meaning more than Kz2 and nearly every other game on the 360 and Ps3. Reach has a smooth LOD system that streams more detail on things closer to you while the farther things get an imposter to allow more detail on closer objects. I don't think it looks better than GOW3 though, and it defiently won't look better than GT5 but it is graphics king of the 360- Easy. It is very technically profecient however, 40 AI and 20 vehicles all doing thier thing, thousands of colliding particle effectsgorgeuous tesselated water effects and shadows. game looks very pretty, and is the best looking 360 game to date.

now you see thats just not a fair comparison, your posting a really bad picture of modern warfare 2, mw2 may not look as good as reach but it doesnt look THAT bad it does up close, probably the worst textures this gen.wow dude u used a screenshot from a one mission vehicle that prolly wasn't worked on much of course that snowspeeder doesn't look good MW2 wasn't snowspeeder realism game
and Its my opinion that i thing graphically the scenery and the character an guns look more realistic and graphically enhanced then halo reach an thats my opinion do whatever uw atnt with it just dont post snowspeeder screenshots

Yes, really.
Try posting a proper picture next time.
yeah I played that level on the 360 and it doesn't look that good, that is obviously PC- even then it doesn't look as good as reach. walk up to any texture and you can count pixels.[QUOTE="NotTarts"][QUOTE="mr_poodles123"]

yeah, it was pretty attrocious, just a tip though, try posting 720p shots because the pic you posted is considered a bullshot because downsizing a pic gives it FSAA because the pixels are shrunk, it also hides visual blemishes.Looks like Halo Ce pc version. Only halo can get aways with xbox 1 level graphic, in 2010 and stil score 9.5 lol sad.
