[QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"][QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"][QUOTE="Eddie-Vedder"]

Was expecting a lot more, I hate the fisher price art style, I'm sure MP will be fun tho so I'm still getting it.

Fisher price? You got to be joking. :?

Why do you find that absurd? Everything looks like a toy, the cars, the body armor... I don't dig the style at all, reminds of toys.

Fisher Price makes baby mechanisms, not toys. The actual use of color is what sets Halo's graphics apart from other shooters, besides the art style.

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.

Masculus
Yeah, I'm glad that it has better graphics all around than Halo 3 and still continues to improve the scale. I wish Bungie would comment on Reaches AI. That kind of technical stuff gets me pumped.

[QUOTE="enterawesome"][QUOTE="urdead18"] 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.sayonara89
Dude, what the hell? "Yeah, it looks nice." "NOOOO U FANBOI IT DOEZNT LOOK LEIK KZ2 CUZ TAHTS WAT DEVS PROMSED!!111!" When did Bungie or MS say it would look as good as Killzone 2? Why is he a hardcore lemming? Why did you even type such a fail response?

http://www.gameguru.in/microsoft-xbox-360/2009/02/future-xbox-360-exclusives-will-surpass-killzone-2-microsoft/ :P

They didn't specify Reach as one of those games. And it still doesn't change the fact that nice = graphics king.

[QUOTE="sayonara89"][QUOTE="After_Math"][QUOTE="Spanks113"] 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.

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.

Going by the logic of some cows Fight Night Round 4 should be the best looking game of this generation. It's not working like that.

Good point. Cows still ignore those facts.

Yeah, PC games. And Crysis isn't open world, It's just the game with very big levels (same for Halo).

Dead space is pretty old, and fear 2 was just a slapped together heap of junk. Have a look at fight night round 4 it is set in a very small encolsed space and has better graphics than anything currently on consoles.

Looks good. But still bullshots, bigest issue of H3/ODST graphics were jaggies, I hope they add AA this time.

sayonara89

among those gameinformer pictures were a few first person view screens with the ingame hud. in addition, they played a demo. is it that hard to believe that these pics are real? they look good, yes, but not THAT good.

Reach has very rocky terrain, very rocky. Over 1 billion people live on Reach, I didn't not expect that much jagged terrain.

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.

shutdown_202

??? I feel the exact opposite, that looks VERY similar to Halo 3 in terms of colours and graphical quality. It looks solid though.

The battles are supposed to be about twice the size -- 40 enemies, 20 vehicles. So I'm guessing, that the areas you are in will be larger as well.

The character models are perfect could be technical graphics king if things pull through(GOW3 is also a big contender for this). All it needs is a higher resolution ground texture and it will be perfect, also will probably look better in motion/when they finish. If it doesn't oh well.

After_Math

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.

Yeah the AA just really destroyed Halo 3's visual awesomeness for me, it is strange how just a small effect can go a long way.

Remember the Equipment in Halo 3? Bubble Shields, Power Drainers, Regenerator? Well they are now pick ups that recharge and are (as far as I understand it to be) they appear on your armor. Thus Bungie and Game Informer stating you have control over customization of your armor in the campaign.

That clear things up at all?

The third picture. Are they part of the covenant or are they creatures that are indigenous to the planet they are on?
