Lots of arguing, but it seems Halo: Reach is looking good IMO.

[QUOTE="Drakes_Fortune"]Wow, i didnt tought it was going to look good, but i certanly didnt tought it was gonna look that bad. :O . Of the upcoming games its probably the one that looks worst. It almost looks like Ps2.Tessellation
This game has twice the things on screen than your precious UC2,it has twice the world ( OPEN WORLD,not a linear corridor levels like UC2) don't get proven wrong when the game comes outs,still has lot of time for polish and we don't know how old are these screens ;).

Evidently you haven't seen this so I'll go ahead and forward it to you:

Judging from those screens I'd say it looks more impressive than UC2 or KZ2. The graphics look solid and tight with nothing to hide.

Looks ok really. Nice, but nothing there that makes it stand out, to be quite honest.

Just what the hell is this vehicle doing here?! It's totally out of place....much like the Warthog vehicles in the previous games. I want vehicles with some goddamn imagination! Same thing goes with the Mjollnir armor and a number of the alien species. Halo games are great quality, but from a design standpoint it's like "wtf were they thinking??!"

Graphics look really outdated and not much better than Haze.

I like the way they have redesigned/updated the characters.

I don't think the Lemmings ever expected a graphics king, exceeding Crysis is impossible on consoles. At least they got a game rivaling the best on the PS3.

It *might* have a lot of things going on, but it's certainly not as good looking as KZ2/Uncharted 2. Not from those pics atleast. It might look better when it's actually released. Now, I'm not bashing the game (they're all good, atleast the first 3) and it is looking nice - just so we're clear.

KZ2 has good animations I'll give it that.But the rest meh. Think of PS3 graphics as paper-graphics. They are thin and very fragile. Blurr effects to cover up, fake physics, 2D skyboxes, fake shadows, limited areas etc.

>vs. Bungie's Target Render:

After_Math

Dont understand why all those people are crying about....it actually allready looks better than on December trailer. The spartan seems to be more detailed....armor isnt that smooth anymore, its having more scratches. Same for the groud textures which are more detailed than on trailer.

So theres allready improvement.

lol I was waiting for that new engine to blow me out of the water and be at least on par with killzone 2 or uncharted 2 but I was hugely disapointed.

maybe they will have better luck with Halo 4

fireballonfire
Damage control much? Fake physics? Like what? Like the train level in KZ2? Fake shadows? Like the sadows shown by using the flashlight with your shotgun in KZ2? Or the sahdows casted from muzzle flash? Lets not even bring up U2 because it will destroy you. Blurr effects looks like it gets the job done then, it still looks better. Limited areas? So is this a open world game like Crysis?

There will never be consensus regarding console graphics king. Cows will say UC2 and KZ2 because they own a PS3. Lemmings will say Reach, Alan Wake and Crysis 2. Let's have a PS3 graphics king and a 360 graphics king and everyone will be happy.

I don't know if Reach will be better looking than KZ2 or UC2. But I have played games long enough to know that the graphics of those two games are nothing special.Besidesgood animation what do they have, smoke and mirrors perhaps?

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.

Which 5 year old on System Wars told you it was going to be as graphically impressive as Killzone 2 ?

If I remember correctly a microsoft dev said they were building a new engine to rival Killzone 2

Fake physics as in scripted physics.

Do all the objects in KZ2 cast a proper shadow, no. Fake lightning also comes as a bonus.

UC2 destroy me, I don't see how. Everything in the game is indestructible (it can't destory anything unless scripted). Interactivity is limited and scripted. Linear, low amount of animted objects on screen. Fake Skybox (2D). Nothing impressive about that.

Call me a dreamer John. But wouldn't it be the ideal situation if everybody spend more time being happy with what they have than worrying about what they don't?

If you are a Cow and believes that UC2 is the best piece of software ever written in terms ofgraphics, it's ok. But many of you are just trying to hard to down play anything thatappears threatning to your perfect little gaming world.

Character models look good but environments look average at best, not sure why everyone is hyping the graphics of this game. Gears of War 2 is a better looking 360 game in my opinion, so far that is.

Well, if you're aiming for such a large scope you can't do much better than that. Killzone 2 looks better, but that game doesn't have any vehicles or especially large maps either.

Considering the game will have large environments, i think it looks good visually... No console graphics king for sure but hey why must every game coming out have to be the next 'console' graphics king to be even considered a great title..

Looking forward to Reach :)

This will probably be a great game. Although bungie isn't really a graphically talented studio, they have a talent for selling alot of copies.
