[QUOTE="kentlucky"]Apparently, no matter how many times you people get told, you never understand. Bungie releases those alpha shots so that their fans can follow the development of the game, not to wow system wars graphic whores. You have the first trailer and the other campaign screenshot to show you what the final product will look like. The rest is for the fans.Ninja-Vox
Thank you! Finally some sense!



believe me if it's releasing late this year they should have pics of what the final product looks like.. you think all they've showed you so far is all they have at this point? HELL NO! they have lots of goodies I'm sure..so by your logic they should please the fans and show how the current stage in development looks like! They're feeding you crap news like rice krispys... I want visuals not news! They were good with giving us pics and vids with halo2...but man wtf not the same with halo 3...all we keep getting is info about how it looks so good... now think about that for a bit... they saying it looks very good... that means they have pics and footage of what those good pics look like... why not show a freakin example!?!?!

this is starting to sound really good...realistic water, plants that move is realistic ways when you run by them, real time lighting through windows, real time shadows, etc.

b...b.....bu...but the slight graphics upgrade......:lol: cows can eat their words now. I can't wait for screen shots of this game in it's current build. Enjoy watching the unveiling of the game that will destroy the PS3 cows....:)

"ZOMG, Bungie says Halo 3's graphics are a lot better now, TCHBO!" Guess what? Phil Harrison says that Killzone 2 looks as good as the E3 teaser, and in some ways even better.

I would've been really interested in Phil's claims if it weren't for Sony's tarnished credibility.

I can't believe that you believe that!

I don't believe that. It's no more logical than believing Bungie when they say "d00d, Halo 3 looks teh bombz now!" without showing any screenshots. I'll believe these PR cronies when they can actually show us something.

Yes, how silly for a screen shot to show us Master Chief, a background, and a gun. It should really have some lamas in it to spice it up.

If Bungie just puts a big paint shine on it, without really upping the polygon count, I'll be disappointed. They need to reach that E3 trailer, they PROMISED. :-/ I'm expecting a lot of Candy Land.

Am I the only one confused by the fact Bungie will release ugly screen shots and then turn right around and talk about how great their graphics are shaping up... but won't show any? They deserve all the garbage they get about crap graphics.KeyWii

Its called game development... If you honestly think an alpha build of a game wont improve in graphics, you are pretty stupid

When have you ever believed Phil Harrison? He believes Motorstorm looks better than the E3 trailer.

For once Keywii I have to agree with you. I'm not sure why Bungie released those awful early screenshots, that were so young they used Halo 2 textures! It's just.. ugh... they are creating bad publicity for themselves and if anything down playing the hype of Halo 3, which isn't a good thing. I'm not sure what Bungie are thinking, you're right though, they do deserve all the stick they get about the graphics. I mean, I agree with keeping the community informed and everything, but when this just causes mass flaming over the internets (which they are aware of) I just don't see it as a good thing.

Hey, it's still better than releasing a completely CGI'd trailer and claiming it's real isn't it?

:D Sure is...:o Oh wait?  bu...but It's 100% gameplay footage...confirmed by Bungie!

Epic? Didn't they try to be as good as bungie with gears of war? Guess what? They failed. Sure it looks good, but the rest lacked. They also failed when they tried before with UT2004 when they missed out on MP GOTY against halo 2. As far as I've seen epic just doesn't live up to what bungie delivers, so sorry, you should've mentioned crytek instead.

im guessing that bungie are showing these so called "bad" screenshots which personally i still think showed quite good graphics, so that when you see the latest build you will be like "DAMN! i never thought they'd be that gd". if they keep showing us loads of pics of the latest build it wouldnt seem so amazing when the final build is released

that would be smart. better than saying it will look like CGI and than having a downgraded game in the end.

Does everyone here realise the trailer from E3 was from single player? all the crap screenshots theyve been showing all along are from the multiplayer with placeholders... jeez get that through your head - all crap shots are from multiplayer with placeholders, the trailer which was confirmed to be realtime is singleplayer. You would know this if you werent blind fanboys and actually paid attention. Dont forget the singleplayer screenshot they released a while back either.

that can be explained they are releasing old screens because they dont want to show off anything new that has things they dont want announced yet bungie said they are being more carefull about what they announce is in the game, because they dont want to dissapoint fans when they have to remove stuff like in halo 2 so everything in those old shots is pretty much concrete on being in the game

Yeah, and Jack Tretton says that MotorStorm looks identical to the E3 trailer. :|

You've gotta take things Sony execs say with a grain of salt.

They will have some excuse ready. It's going to be lame like "I don't think that's too good looking", "PS3 could do that easily" or "overrated!!!".

Werd, and I trust Frankie. And it's "our" throats.
