Reach one of the top five best looking games on the consoles...(56K)

I see a lot of people are bashing Reach for having graphics that are barely better than H3 but in reality they are actually extremely good. The game is only in beta and already looks as good as KZ2...if not better. Also considering the Sand box scale of the single player this game is a very strong contendor to graphics king of 2010.

The impressive thing about it really is is that part that it's Halo A series that has usually had great draw distances and a nice sense of scale for the most part. Halo Reach will be technically impressive one way or another. Not god tier or a true titan of an achievement. But an impressive one. jg4xchamp

I will try to get gifs from gifsoup :P ...

Halo Reach is far from graphic king, but the game has amazing art direction and animations nonethelessDiviniuz

Only my opinion, but GOW3, UC2, KZ2, MLB the Show, and Far Cry 2 all look beter than the current build of Halo Reach.i5750at4Ghz

Far Cry 2 and MLB: NO...KZ2: barely, also it's very linear...same with GoW3.

i think the fact that the premise of the game is so familiar, that people only see the game as yet another incremental increase in overall graphics. I personally don't see a huge jump at all, particularly compared to killzone. Killzone had the whole environment, everything was chaotic, physics were crazy, sound was uncompressed and awesome, textures were spot on... it was just a great game all around (yeah, im biased a tad). halo just strikes me of more of the same just like how kz3 will just be a little bit more polished version of kz2

dude... ME2 looks better than this and espeically GeOW2

That being said Halo Reach > Killzone 2 in essentially everything else, Killzone 2 has to be one of my biggest disappointments this generation. One thing bungie knows how to do better than everyone else is make an addicting shooter

It looks pretty average in my opinion, Mass Effect 2 destroys it graphically.

Graphics King of 2010.

But I digress, Reach definitely looks good, especially for the scale. I've never been the biggest Halo fan, but I'm starting to get more and more interested.

Its odd that the 360's best looking games have open environments, whereas the PS3 lookers are enclosed to corridors. I wont comment on Halo Reach other than to say that the multiplayer looks incredible and a vast improvement over the previous games.KittenWishes

I actually really like the art direction / level design in this game, but it's far from being the console graphic king..

I must need glasses cause gears 2 looks better than reach imo and KZ2 owns gears 2.

lol just no. not in the top 5 at all. prolly top 10, but not top 5. there are better-looking games out there in consoles. GoW3, UC2, KZ2, Heavy Rain, Far Cry 2. just 'cause it's colourful with all thos lasers and stuff doesn't mean it's that good.

lol...just goes to show how much you actually know. In the first vidoc they said that the game will be a sand-box game.

:? and yet I always see people say "Halo has never been about graphics." when others mention/show other games that look better.

And did I hear you right when you said the current beta build of Halo Reach looks better than Killzone 2? :shock:

Hey!

That's my Sig up there!

I feel famous....

Alan wake is the only contender this year(even at 540p, most previewers have noted its excellent graphics and haven't noticed.)

Its gonna be a good game, but graphically, its not even in the top 20. Not much difference from Halo 3. You do better hyping Alan Wake1Stark1

yeah....NO.

look at this gif agian:

I would rather wait to see more single player footage before making that claim, I wouldn't rely on beta gifs either.

Yeah but it's on that weaker system :lol: so c'mon, as long as the gun play is fun and it runs at at least 480P is pretty dang impressive for the underpowered 360.

Just Sayin..

:twisted:

Demon's Souls for example, very non-linear game with good graphics and atmosphere. btw, I'm sure HR will have like a 3 hour campaign and be linear so myah, unless bungie says other wiseKevinButlerVP

Uhm... Demon Souls is very linear, lol. You just get to choose the the levels you want to do first. All the levels have you pretty much following a narrow path, with the ocassional fork, leading straight to the demon.

I think there was 1 or two sections that actually was pretty open, and not a corridor crawl. And the graphics were pretty much garbage.

[QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"] yeah, I hear this lots. well X game is linear so Y game is better. Take Demon's Souls for example, very non-linear game with good graphics and atmosphere. btw, I'm sure HR will have like a 3 hour campaign and be linear so myah, unless bungie says other wiseKevinButlerVP

Come on dude...do you have to be such a big fanboy? A 3 hour game...really? Do you actually think that's true?

kuraimen

IMO Reach=ME2. I forgot about GOW3 lol, heavy rain? Not so much.

Uncharted 2 , Killzone 2 , God of War 3 , Resident Evil 5 , Gears of War 2 all look way better I could list other games but as the game isn't released yet and they aren't THAT better I will hold my breath.

Just stop it Halo isn't about graphics , this one looks much better than halo 3?Yes it does but then again halo 3 looked like trash.The only difference is that halo graphics won't be laughable anymore.
