http://www.lensoftruth.com/?p=25645www.YouTube.com/watch?v=6106hy6-0kw That is just sad. Halo Reach, Microsofts biggest franchise looks worse than Resistance 2, a game from 2008? (a game that had terrible graphics even in 2008 standards) :? Still worship lens of truth lemmings?

I wonder if this article serves the purpose of gaining their reputation back from PS3 owners since the whole Mass Effect nit-picking.

I prefer Resistance 2 over Halo, but let's face it: you can't get more biased than LoT.

I prefer R1 over Halo. But R2 was crap in my opinion.

Yeah, I'm really not surprised. I got Halo over the Christmas break, and the graphics are totally underwhelming. Lots and lots of aliasing that I didn't expect. LOL @ all the bullshots that came out before the game claiming it looked better than Killzone 2, or the people claiming it was the best-looking 360 game (probably Red Dead right now). Still, awesome game.

That's great? If anything, this should prove to cows that LoT aren't fanboys. BTW, instead of comparing just graphics, how about we compare critical and commercial success?

Wow just read the whole article, and I'm pretty impressed that Lens noticed:

Our analysis proves that Resistance 2 out performed Halo: Reach when in similar chaotic firefights. In addition, Resistance 2 seemed to spawn more enemies at any giving time without dropping any frames or a hint of screen tearing. Actually, Resistance 2 seemed to be v-locked at a constant 30fps and absolutely zero screen tearing recorded.

Not too shabby!

5:10 seperates 360 games from PS3 due to a lot of things moving in one scene.

Samples such as Killzone 2's Visari's Hammer and Pyrrhus Rise; Uncharted 2's Ch 13 & 21; and GOW3's Titans climbing on Olympus.

All the article talks about are water effects, and frame rate, which resistance wins by like .3 of a frame? No draw distance, very little mention of textures, vistas, jaggies.

It mentions that R2 is locked at 30 fps and V-synced so there is no screen tear whatsoever. Take a look at the two games and you can tell the aliasing is better on R2 as well (meaning "jaggies" are worse in Halo).

Aye, as much as I love Reach, it could have had so many more epic moments. We were fighting a losing battle, but Noble Team was pretty much giving the Covenant a mighty righteous pimp hand the entire campaign.

I much prefer Reachs visuals, but they are right about one thing, Resistance does perform better than Reach, I was suprised with the amount of frame rate drops Halo had.

I would like too, but I have no PS3. :(. I did play a bit of the first at my friends house and it was quite fun.

Does this side by side video lend credibility to what I say about how similar the two games are, I think so.

Anyhow, yeah they both look about even to me, and it really boils down to which art style/ gun style suits you more. The FPS and tear difference is negligible. The biggest difference visualy was the water to me, very nicely done in R2. Also the amount of enemies did see higher in R2, but I don't know how much I count that towards graphics rather than game design.

Not sure how you guys did not noticed, but they only did this so they can get the PS3 gamers back after the whole ME2 comparison incident and how most sites bashed LOT's biased comparison.

Yeah, look at Halo 2...  And that got 9.4 here on GS... Any other game would be screwed with bugs like that, but Halo is above all that because... Well its Halo and if you say anything bad about it you'll get mod and killed by lemmings, in that order.

I agree but i mean come on? Didnt you see new alexandria level? That was a pretty epic level and felt like you were losing as well as lone wolf.... I mean noble team pretty much all die except for Jun....don't see how thats kicking covenant butt....I mean if you know anything about reach you know that Reach gets glassed.....

:roll: why would they even do a comparison? its not like they are losing hits...all the people making stuff up to make them seem biased will still go to the site every time they do an important comparison to them.

yeah, the Halo name gets it a free pass.

that's why Halo Wars was overrated by like 15 points on GS compared to MC....oh wait.

i'm not surprised,but it's still not the 1080p 3d 4-tv shootout some cows promised. not to mention the graphics are obviously not the deciding factor of which game the majority of people LIKE more.
