Halo 3 Beta - Hi-Res Screenshots From Xboxyde

Halo 2 was at least awesome graphics at his time. One of the strong points of a FPS is the graphics. I'm not lying when I say I saw better looking Wii games and GC games than that. The 360 is suposed to be an HD gaming, so much for the HD when you can't properly deliver standard resolution experience.

Get Perfect Dark on N64 if gameplay is everything.

Halo 2 was the Halo 3 of Xbox in its era.  Doom 3, Splinter Cell CT, and Riddick were the Gears of War.  Guess what game people are still playing.

I hope for the fans sake that Bungie significantly improves the graphics; because for Halo to have been the best selling game on the Xbox, the graphics weren't its' strong point. I probably shouldn't care since I don't like shooters, but for an Xbox 360 game it should be looking stellar.

Exactly what I was thinking. The graphics have never been Halo's selling point, but the amount of jaggies visible in those screens is kind of embarrassing. :( I hope it does improve as much as some of you think it will. A flagship titles first outing on a new console should look spectacular.

Nobody is crying. If Halo 3 is bad I just won't buy a 360. No sweat off my sack. I watched the video and still didn't think it looked very good. It should look better than it does.

Why should it look better than it does? Did Bungie tell you it would?

Eh? Fanboys hyping it up for 2 years told me it would. Everyone uses the OMG GRAPHIX argument to "own" PS3 and Wii until a game looks like this, then everyone switches to "graphics aren't important, looks good for beta, the pictures don't do it justice". Halo is an awesome series, it deserves to look better than this. You know if there are the slightest graphical defects in Lair all the Boxers jump all over it and say OMG THE COLORS ON THAT ONE SOLDIER ARE WASHED OUT! and somehow ignore the insane amount of jaggies and lack of textural detail that these Halo screens show. Just be consistent. Don't be mad at me for making an observation. I see far too many jaggies for a next-gen game.

Seriously, if you watch the video and can still tell me that it looks "ok", you are blind or a fanboy. Im a huge Halo fan, i mean if there wasnt Halo i wouldnt be playing games right now, but honestly all fanboyalism aside, the graphics are pretty frickin sweet and polished. If you deny it saying "but but teh Beta should lookszzzz betterzzz! thanss datzz!", you need to go buy yourself a 360 because its obvious you dont own one.

Im just sick of fanboys trying to attack Halo 3 for no reason, bashing the graphics when they CLEARLY look impressive

You are blind and seeing that you said that Halo brought you into gaming is disturbing. Halo one and Halo 2 are overrated software. It's not Half-Life, it's not Fallout, it's not Zelda, it's not GT, it's not God of War...

You didn't play much good games if this is your opinion... get Chrono Trigger, Sonic 2, Secret of Mana, Mario RPG, Super Contra, Contra, Mario 64... at least something stellar where gameplay is something...

Halo gameplay is generic to the bone and I don't understand all the buzz around it. I've played both game and was still not able to understand. It's so boring... it's not even fun... 

It doesn't look that bad... It just needs a little sprucing up here and there.  At the moment though, as far as betas go, I think it kind of looks on the level of this unofficial beta game I've been playing.

I don't know... Diablo and Starcraft... Counter-Strike... how many Halo 2 players...

See, from my point of view, there is not even 5 millions of Live users...

[QUOTE="Blackbond"]But DualShocking said the graphics wouldn't improve from the Alpha :cry:Blackbond

it still doesnt look great. its just regular.

Um did you read what I wrote? DualShocking claimed that it wouldn't ever look better then the Alphaand it clearly does.

Agreed

I feel so happy now that a nerd is telling me that my opinions and favorites are irrelevant and not acceptable. Thanks man! I own HL2, i beat HL2, i enjoyed HL2. But am i still playing it? NO! Am i still playing Halo 2 online? YES.

Ok, so it isn't Chronotrigger. It isn't supposed to be. But it is a good game and nothing you can say is going to subtract the years of fun people had with this franchise, so just chill. What makes your taste in games better than anyone elses? You do realize that not only Halo fanboys like the franchise. The previous 2 games in the franchise are reviewed just as high as any of those games you listed.

I'm not a big fan of the series but I have to respect the fact that it is still one of the most played games out there, years after release. Hell, I didn't like God of War, but I'm not going to dis it, it just isn't my type of game.

These two shots are good, they really need to release some high res shots and videos so we can actually see whats going on.

Funny how so much peoples are playing CS:S that are considered nerds by that rant. Being a Live user is at my eye more nerdy than saying Halo blows because the game doesn't bring anything. You are obviously blind because you can't admit that all the rant about 360 are is graphics... now that the graphics of the most important 360 games sux, I'm getting the whole gameplay matter. Just seeing that Halo brought you to gaming is disturbing because there is so much other games that I played when I was 10 years old that were better than that piece of crap.

Also... I don't play games often unlike you it seems and I don't go run saying nerdy to anyone who's playing other games than viril FPS. Ohhh I'm a nerd because I like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana better than this gun games where peoples are shooting...

I feel so nerdy because I played a bunch of Snes games that are considered like pure gems... and that because I now share the same gameplay is everything attitude from an xbox owner... but still my games are not better than Halo of course... because it's Halo and hardcore love Halo...

Thing is, they don't CLEARLY look impressive whatsoever. Far Cry CLEARLY looked impressive in 2004, and it still looks better than this. If it was so CLEAR there wouldn't be any debate over it. Its not just fanboys saying they find these graphics pretty Meh.

Put aside the reviews and take in consideration the test of time. Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Super Contra and other games are real gems that Halo will never really be able to overcome.

What is the difference between Halo and another FPS? I don't see any simply because I've played a good bunch of them. I'm still thinking that Turok 1 was one the greatest FPS adventure because it was fun... where is the fun in Halo... I never found any bit of it. It's not because it's been played by a huge bunch of peoples who never got their hands on a better FPS that I take it personnally. What I take personnally is that casual and hardcore buy games that doesn't deserve it.

I'm all about gameplay, but Halo doesn't got any evidence about having good gameplay. Blowing a bad guy in a game or another feel the same. Sincerely, didn't we get our bunch of deathmatch frenzy already?

Look, Goldeneye have been played for 4 to 5 years in multiplayers and now it's dead. The same will happen like any FPS I saw, even CS first itteration is now losing to the CS:S, but still CS was all about gameplay. Halo is simply the first FPS that many discovered and it will be remembered for that, not being something stellar for it's time.

Beta looks like crap. But alot better then Alpha.

They still have 4-6 months left to pump up the graphics... So I'm not worried.

Look, Goldeneye have been played for 4 to 5 years in multiplayers and now it's dead. The same will happen like any FPS I saw, even CS first itteration is now losing to the CS:S, but still CS was all about gameplay. Halo is simply the first FPS that many discovered and it will be remembered for that, not being something stellar for it's time.

Your whole argument is all about what YOU like. And that's a pretty lame argument against the quality of the Halo franchise. People like it , you don't, stop being a snob.

Halo is a good series and people will continue to enjoy it even if you don't. I don't get why people feel that because they "like" games that every fanboy lists as great, they are saying something special. It just makes you sound pretentious as if nobody should like Halo because there are better games out there...That's just beyond silly.

Put aside the reviews and take in consideration the test of time. Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Super Contra and other games are real gems that Halo will never really be able to overcome.

What is the difference between Halo and another FPS? I don't see any simply because I've played a good bunch of them. I'm still thinking that Turok 1 was one the greatest FPS adventure because it was fun... where is the fun in Halo... I never found any bit of it. It's not because it's been played by a huge bunch of peoples who never got their hands on a better FPS that I take it personnally.

I'm sick, and tired, of Halo-haters, so very often; almost always, putting up their opinions and stating them as facts. Stop polluting this thread with your obvious anger being aimed at the game because of its popularity and go take a breath of fresh air, thank you.

Oh yeah, of Course... what I can get is game like RE4 doesn't get the attention it should or something like Eternal Darkness and Too Human. Halo is simply not what the review have told us and only the xbox owner are telling us that Halo is such a good serie. I'm angry because peoples are buying crap and it only get to us with more crap from the industry so yeah there is a good reason to be ashame of this popularity. 

Some good new shots that are actually clear.

Passable... but not nearly as good as I was expecting... The textures are... meh. They have time to fix it... but... im not counting on it... I mean they didn't have to fix Gears of War to make it look good...

It's not because I like a game more, it's about getting overwhealmed with crap everyday that only a handfull of games get the attention it get from developers. We are getting more and more crap everyday and peoples are buying it. I don't know what you find silly about it... it's a necesary reflection. It's not only me who are telling it, a whole bunch of peoples areagreeing that Halo is piece of garbage that only a few new kids found out to be their FIRST experience. It's a damn marketing tool made by microsoft and I can't TAKE IT!

My point is still there... there older games looking better than it... and some really old games when we talk about graphics.

Re4, Far Cry, Half-Life 2, JK acadamy.. (yeah it's a shame)
