Was that a joke or something? Halo 3 looks sharper and more colourful....i was expecting differences of epic proportions, but the difference between them is noticeable, but not huge....good day :)Rhys555

I'm going to have to actually side with Rhys for once, its not particularly impressive on a graphical level (although fanboys certainly exaggerate).

The graphics are much better in every aspect what more can someone ask for. The only people who say anything different are the Sony fans.

Halo isn't going for a realistic view, it has an art style that renders itself to the more realistic style. I'm not exactly sure what you people are hoping for it to look like.

No, not really...the character models by and large aren't amazingly better or anything and the environments still have a number of rough edges to them, it looks fine but its not this amazing-looking title or anything. :|

Pics or you're a virgin. ;)

EDIT: It seems the board is being invaded by a /b/tard (which isn't an insult before you moderate this Casey, true /b/tards would consider it a compliment).

Agreed, on both arguments 8)

Sorry no pics and my wife would probably divorce me if I tried to put pics on here anyway.

You can't say I didn't warn you.

It looks much better of course. But it is still not "impressive" by today's standards. I think the art ****is partially to blame. What once looked realistic, has lost its edge, and now has a clean, vivid, yet almost plastic quality to it.DrinkDuff

Agreed, the art ****is really letting the game down, it gives it an almost LEGO feel in some ways, especially with the segmented armor and all. BTW, what movie is that from?

Look at the last two pics in my original post how can you say that the character model from the Halo 3 pic is not much better than the Halo 2 pic? Remember we are comparing Halo 3 to Halo 2 no other games.

They are cleaner, a few more details but thats about it.

For all those people who keep talking about the art style that is not what this post was about. The post was about comparing the graphics from Halo 2 to Halo 3. I know everyone likes the gritty Saving Private Ryan war movie look with there shooters these days but that has never been the art style of the Halo series.mfisher3323

Actually I'm very partial to the art sty1e in Uncharted to give you some idea, so that semi-veiled swipe at me isn't valid. But the art sty1e definitely lets it down, its not particularly realistic or stylized so it just ends up looking weird and out of place and honestly, kind of poor.

Well like I said the art style has been the same from the beginning and it has been one of the best selling game series ofall time so that has to mean something. I respect your opinion when it comes to the art style though. I my self tend to like the gritty look in games like Gears, Kill Zone 2, and Call of Duty 4 etc.

what about this TC shouldnt it look close to this after the bungie claim ?

cause it look nowhere close to that not even30% close

Yeah, and if it had a different art style, then the Halo fans would moan over it, along with the Sony tools. You can't win, really. Personally, I think it looks great. The models, especially the vehicle and weapons models, look quite good and the particle effects look even better. And graphics didn't help Halo 2 demolish Killzone back in 2004, so I don't care what cows think.V_Isle

I think that an updated art style would do the franchise a world of good, its never been that great and in HD it just ends up looking muddled and ugly for the most part. Some of the effects look very nice but the kind of character modeling they do undermines that and makes it look out of place.

On one hand you have the characters which are in an odd little place between sci-fi and realism and then you have the various other things which are split between realism (organic environments) and pure Star Trek (artificial environments and weapon/shield effects).

I know full well what demolished Killzone and I think most other people do too, it was the glitchiness of the whole thing and the various limitations the PS2 put on the game. The Killzone universe is amazing (watch the Killzone intro and other storyline to get that much) but the surrounding mechanics were undermined by the hardware and what appears to have been a rushed schedule.

It looks much better of course. But it is still not "impressive" by today's standards. I think the art style is partially to blame. What once looked realistic, has lost its edge, and now has a clean, vivid, yet almost plastic quality to it.DrinkDuff

Even though I hate first-person shooters, I can personally say that I prefer Halo 3's art-style over Killzone 3's art-style. It's more lively and pumps more energy into you.

I also think the graphics, particularly the textures, in Halo 3 are a big improvement over Halo 2.

Ahhhhhh..you have it the wrong way around. The Halo 2 ones are the Halo 3 ones.

Edit: My mistake, names at the bottom.

thx for the confirmation TC

Y is your sig shooting the president of EA sports ?

The cows are simply jealouse of the power.

That first halo pic isnt cgi guys.They said it themselves its realtime.

Sure halo 3 looks better but it's not the upgrade I was hopeing for after all there is a massive diffrence in power between the xbox and 360. I would compaire the upgrade to ninja gaiden vs sigma better looking but not a complete overhall. Now games like gt5,KZ 2, R&C, Mgs 4,FF 13 ect on the ps3 clearly to even a blind man look night and day better than the ps2 games.

Halo 3 still has time to improve I hope cause gears owns it and that just should not happen H3 should at least equal a older game imo.

Honestly the environmets look better, but not a great deal better. The MC models look way better, but the covenant models dont seem to look quite as good though. It may just be those pics too. The game is gonna be great either way though, so do we still need 1000 of these posts a day?rockydog1111

As long as Sony Fans post 1000 times a day saying the graphics from Halo 2 to Halo 3 hasnt changed then Yeh there will still be post that shows the fact that they are wrong and just fan boys with nothing better to do then try to start arguments in the forums.

Well at least it beats out all PS3 games.

terdoo

Well the game looks NOTHING like that, so it doesn't matter if its CGI or not because the game still looks like garbage in comparison.

Wow, that's pretty mean and a lie. It doesn't look garbage compared to the first trailer. It's not the same but it isn't that off. Also, the main thing that looks different is MC. The detail is pretty much the same and the ground textures are already sharper than seen in the first trailer.
