vs. Bungie's Target Render:

Keep in mind that Halo: Reach will have large battles with up to forty enemies on screen and 20 vehicles (same time), large vista's, a full-on sky box (not pre-rendered), it will have also have ATLEAST two-player split-screen play, will more advanced lighting compared to Halo 3 (Halo 3 had 4-6 dynamic light sources, Reach has over 16), etc.

To anyone who claims this game will be graphics king:

EDIT: Also, the character in the first screen looks like a fruitcake.

Scans arn't allowed to be posted though, so I referred to them as "new." Not to mention they are better quality pictures than the scans.

Really? For a game coming out in 2010 that's claiming to be as graphically impressive as Killzone 2 it really looks disapointing, even to a hardcore lemming.

It looks good, but not quite console graphics king yet, maybe it will improve a lot before its release (doubtful). The character models look a bit like Mass Effect i think.

Im liking the feel of this game, reminds me more of Halo 1.

Good to see their moving away from the candy coloured action figure looking graphics in Halo 3.

Uh... I'm not seeing a graphics king here.

The character models look fantastic, but the enviornments look meh, and it appears like they're using a bit too much bloom.

But with that said, the game is still a long way away from being released, and I have no doubt it will look much better.

I'll wait for the final build to judge, but for now, the graphics aren't as great as people hyped it to be.

Nowhere and that's my point. I say a simple 4 letter compliment and you automatically think THAT is what I really meant.

The environments are actually using full HDR. Where as Halo 3 had 4-6 light sources, and many claimed it was one of the best uses of lighting on consoles, Halo: Reach has 20-40 dynamic light sources.

Bungie stated in the last weekly update or so that they were planning a better job with AA this time around. Jaggies were the only thing that really disturbed me in Halo 3/ODST. The rest looked great. Great Artstyle, Lighting, Textures, Particle Effects, etc.

At least this game has colour and large environments something not found in Killzone 2. Any game can look good if it pushes you down a narrow corridor eg UC2

I find it extremely irritating how some Cows insist Uncharted 2 looks better than Crysis/Stalker. Those games feature OPEN WORLDS, Dynamic AI, Multiple Light Sources, Huge Draw Distances, etc. while Uncharted features some great textures and visual effects, but is very linear.

Amen.. I was getting just a little tired of the look of the halo-verse until this one.. Doesn't look like any "graphics king" as the fanboys will say, but it does look rather impressive.

Looks good, notinsanely good, but if the info about large scale battles is true it could be one hell of a game. I'm glad they've kept the awesome HDR lightning from halo 3, hope they show some gameplay videosoon.

Going by this logic Dead Space or/and Fear 2 should b the best looking games of this generation. It's not working like that.
