The GameInformer Halo: Reach Screens *56k Insert Witty Saying Here*

I am still laughing at all those people who said the trailer was realtime. These screens no doubt have AA enabled too... These are the sort of environments and graphics they should have been producing back in 2007.

This will probably shut up all those claims of, "teh graphics king" but they still look......ok I guess.TintedEyes

I'd rather they make the game look better overall instead of remaining hellbent of cramming excessive hdr into everything.

[QUOTE="jman1553"]

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.

Xbox 360 fanboys aren't really calling this a graphics king at all because it's not even close to graphics king. It will look good enough for its scale.

But, what you can't deny is those stupid ass threads of a few fanboys hyping Halo Reach's graphics and animations before we even got magazine screen shot of the game.. That was just straight up ignorant.

The graphics definitely don't wow me at all. I hope they make noticeable improvements there. Gameplay wise, all I ask is that that they make Halo a way more intense experience because when I play that game I don't feel power in pretty ANY of the weapons. It's really just bland. Resistance destroys Halo on the weapon front. Also, the sound quality on the weapons aren't amazing/they don't feel powerful. The only weapons that I love from Halo 3 are the spartan laser and energy sword because they add intensity to the game and they feel so good to use. The standard smg/battle rifles don't.

Just make Halo a more intense experience and I'll give it a shot again.

I sure hope this wasn't the "impressive" graphics people were trying to boast about.

That is a complement, if the feathers look good enough in the video game that it can be compared to a real life suit?

[QUOTE="n00bkid"]Who are hyping this graphics king again?Vadamee

I think all the claims of graphics king are out the window but it does look a lot better than Halo 3

[QUOTE="n00bkid"]Who are hyping this graphics king again?Vadamee

Link Yeah no one said it would be graphics king. :roll:

Looks sweet. I really played Halo in depth for the first time yesterday, so it's really gotten into my radar.

That isn't saying much. So far gears2 looks better than these shots.

[QUOTE="After_Math"] 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. SparkyProtocol

[QUOTE="sayonara89"]

[QUOTE="Vadamee"] I doubt anyone has said that but its still more impressive than Uncharted 2 in my opinion. Remember Halo isn't some linear corridor crawler like Killzone 2, Gears of War and Uncharted. It will have seamless vast environments. The character models look more detail in terms of textures relative to Uncharted 2's character textures. But you can tell that Uncharted 2's character models of more polygons.

"Corridor Crawler", I hate that kind of BS :roll:

Halo 3 scale > anything on consoles.

Yyyyyy? Far Cry 2, FUEL? Truly open world games.

Did you really post screens from EBgames? :shock:

[QUOTE="Vadamee"][QUOTE="n00bkid"]Who are hyping this graphics king again?Odrec

Those screens look genuinely mediocre. I say, they're almost giving Source mods a run for their money.Brownesque

Missed one?

MC3887

If I don't hear the sweet, sweet sound of "WORT!!! WORT!!! WORT!!!" pouring out of my speakers I swear I'll... :| ...I'll play a cruel prank on this unsuspecting animal.

No one expects to be pranked on the toilet Bungie, I'll do it, I know you don't want that on your conscience. :x

I'm assuming they're going to have an indoor environment or two in the game. They should showcase shots from such levels if they want to "wow" people.

Bungie said they were going to upgrade the HDR, and it looks like they have.

I am a big fan of Halo and I agree with you 100% here on the gameplay part. The weapons don't have the kick that other games do. Bungie did state that they are fixing that for Reach. So we get our wish.

As for the graphics, if it looks like that and has The big environments With lots of enemies and vehicles like they are promising, I will be more than satisfied.

[QUOTE="Vadamee"][QUOTE="n00bkid"]Who are hyping this graphics king again?heybooboo19

If they made a linear game, then yes.

Notice the big "EB Games" watermark? That means these are not Bungie screens - so they are not showing off the game. Thats probably why there is no mention of any of this on Bnet.

The pics are from EBGAMES, which are taken from G.I., since EB/Gamestop owns G.I.

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"][QUOTE="Brownesque"] The visuals in this game almost rival Resistance Fall of Man. So close.

1. the game isn't even done 2. the game isn't even out and playable and 3. again with that goddamn sarcasm of yours instead of an actual answer.

Do you want me to find Halo 3 screens - the 2007 game - that looks better than Resistance 2? I can.

Lol obviously your not happy with someone unless they fall in love with these screens.

Brownesque

There not even close, simply looking at the picture below you can tell that almost none of the detail on Nathan was actually modeled, other than the radio/mic thing and shoulder pads. This was the same for most of the games details, as well as it having poor lighting, and being overall poor quality wise.

Everything looks great besides the environments.
