I am a huge Halo fan.  I had mad fun playing Halo 2 on friend's 360's.  I'm sure Halo 3 will be a ton of fun.  And I'm sure Halo 3 could be done on a Wii.   Halo 2 was done on the original Xbox.  The Wii is slightly more powerful than an Xbox.  Halo 3 so far only looks slightly better than Halo2.

 

I guess the Wii fans were right all along.  Graphics aren't important gameplay and fun is.

That's the alpha version.  Game developers always make the finishing touches on the graphics last. They always focus on the gameplay first.

At first glance it looks like Halo 2 because it has the same art style, the Halo art style, but technically this game's graphics are far ahead in terms of draw distance,textures,shaders,polygons,special effects and contrast. Wii could not handle Halo 3, thats just crazy. The textures plus high defintion shaders are too much for the Wii. Even if wii could somehow muster the geometry, it's memory would hold back the textures and amount of objects on screen plus the shaders probably wouldnt be implemented since they can only be done through software rendering which hurts the framerate even more. Wii CAN'T handle Halo 3 period.

You're telling me Gears of war can already be done online on a 360, but Halo 3 can never look better than Halo 2?

O.o? Huh?!? I was saying that if people didn't know that the Halo 3 bit wasn't anywhere NEAR being the finished product, no amount of reminding them of that fact would do any good.

From your post it came off as though you were saying Alpha footage doesn't matter.

According to EGM, the game's single player graphics will make you say "Gears of What?" I seriously doubt it could be done on the Wii.

That's why I said "so far".  I hope it looks better.  It would be a waste of processing power not to make it look as good as Gears but still keep Halo's fun factor.

How long have they been working on Halo 3?  They only have a few more months to finish.  Aren't the final months usually used for polish?  Halo might be delayed then.

if halo came out "as is" without the gears level of graphics, but had improved/balanced the gameplay - would you guys still buy it?  i probably would.

 

also - what looks better?  mp3 or halo3? :P

Can we say /thread? People have a strange memory in regards to how nice Halo 2 looked.

What so you expect us to sit by idly while people bash Halo 3 when it's ALPHA multiplayer footage has been shown? Plus this is an absurd argument thinking Wii can handle Halo 3. Thats just pure trolling **** talk.

How do you know Killzone 2 will have better graphics or Halo 3 will have the better gameplay? Neither is out. We don't have ANY footage of Killzone 2 besides a fake CG video and all we have of Halo 3 is an extremley unfinished WIP of the single player and slightly more finished build of the multiplayer. For Killzone 2, we have the first game which sucked hard. Both Halo's were much better games. I think Halo 3 holds alot more promise.

who cares. let them talk about halo 3. you would think after gears of war royally owned every single one of them, they would learn. nope. I guess. and as bungie said, when it's released it will be the premiere game to showcase the system.
