It will be impossible for halo:reach to be at the absolute top graphically.

Graphics aren't just limited to eye candy on the surface.Scope and design will be taken into account as well as other factors.

But since when has Halo EVER been at the top graphically?Texas2089

Halo 1 and 2 both were top, for consoles graphically; at least when they both came out anyway.

Who knows....Gears2 is one of the best looking console games and has split screen coop and huge number of enemies at the same time.

Of course it will be impossible, unless of course you think Reach will surpass Crysis in visuals. >_>Doolz2024

Yep, thats true and Halo also has the vehicles. Anyway, im hyping Reach to end up looking better thn Gears2.

Yeh, and any other console game for that matter.AAllxxjjnn

Nope Heavy Rain, Alan Wake, Gran Turismo 5, etc. I doubt even my HD5850 will run Crysis 2 on medium smoothly.

Barely on high. And thats only on high settings. Very High would dip into the 20s or teens.

Halo wont ever be at the top graphically due to its art style. Huge ramps and simple architecture dont lend to "wow" moments.

Xbox cannot handle it with its current 360 hardware. Even PS3 cannot beat a high-end baby-grade DX11 PC graphically, what hope is there for the Xbox-exclusive Halo?GhoX

wtf? 90fps? anything higher than 60 is unnoticable to the human eye.

Umm, Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 are currently the best looking games that consoles have to offer atm.

Your comparing GTA4 to graphic power houses like KZ2 and U2?

I will cut you some slack considering your new to GS. Stuff like that will get you eaten alive in SW.

[QUOTE="MC3887"] Best looking, but most technically impressive, no. For UC2 atleast. KZ2 and GTA4 I would say are the most technically impressive so far.MC3887

yes but compared to some of the newer games on the PS3, it doesn't compare.

InFamous even looks better.

lets hope they don't try to make it a graphics king, Halo is about the speed of play, if they focus too heavily on the graphics they might have to slow the game down and there may even be the dreaded framerate drops, no thanks, as long as it looks reasonable but plays a swell as other halo games i will be more than happydelta3074

That's because the Xbox was clearly more powerful than the PS2.

[QUOTE="WiiMan21"]

[QUOTE="MC3887"] Look, GTA4 is huge with a fair bit of detail, euphoria physics engine, a ton on screen vs. corridors.MC3887

yes but compared to some of the newer games on the PS3, it doesn't compare.

Actually the draw distance is pretty good compared to most open world games.

I will agree with you on AC2 looking better than InFamous, but it came after and they knew what they had to create to beat the competition.

large maps? not especially big to say the graphics of recent Halo games have been subpar. I want to see some in game footage with physics running before committing to anything though.

But since when has Halo EVER been at the top graphically?Texas2089

the first halo were considered to be revolutionary as far as graphics go when they were first released.
