Atleast thats how it looks to me, why didnt they use the Unreal Engine 3 or something? It doesnt have the "wow" factor that many other games coming out has.

I was just playing Halo 2 a couple of days ago, its a pretty damn good looking game anyway. I can live with Halo 2 in HD with HDR lighting as long as the gameplay is great.

Bugnie decided to use the same engine so they can mainly focus their development time on gameplay. Why they didn't just liscensed other game engines like Unreal is beyond me.

The graphics may not be best looking out there, but it is not that bad neither.

Its not gritty, its grayscale. And Killzone 2 should look alot better than Halo 3, its coming out at least 4 months later on a system that costs $150 CAD more.

That's a matter of opinion... check out this video and you might change your mind. GoTY, and I like Halo 3 art alot. There are NO spoilers, strictly gameplay, and I Was seriously like "OMG goty for sure" around minute 6:33 - 18:00

Well the problem is that this game has to many high expectations...after all its Halo. Everyone expects this game to look better or good as UT3 or Crysis, so Bungie better make the gameplay awesome because thats what will carry the game.

everyone seems to expect a game to look like gears color wise and what not. id wager that if gears never came out, people wouldnt be saying all this crap about halo 3. its art direction makes it look the way it is. and besides, halo 3 has better textures if you ask me.

No its not, its using its own engine. And Halo 3 looks great, watch the newest videos, definitely better than Gears of War IMO.

why the heck would there be a color light green and purple in a game like killzone?

kz2 is not as futuristic as halo3, halo3 got cartoonish graphics, but it does look good.

I am no fanboy its just i think kz2 tops halo3. im not sure about gameplay yet, cause i havent played both.

I'm impressed by KZ2's visuals, but I'll be blown away if they can pull it off in levels the same size and draw distance of Halo3.

I care about the improved AI, new veichles, new weapons, the map editor and the fact that it comes out in a little less than a month

I disagree

Halo 3 looks better than Halo 2. Not by too much but Halo 3 has more detail, better textures, better lighting...and hopefully better gameplay.

*PICTURE OF HALO 3*

Thats color.

More color is always better?

*PICTURE OF GEARS OF WAR*

That's just a bad picture of Gears of war

Gears of war actually had some nice colors in certain places and wasn't all just MUD graphics

It might be going for the dark and gritty feel. But it still managed to add some nice colours. And it's art****was really unique. The environments looked like a painting:

you should look at the new Sierra 117 video. Or even the Tsavo Highway videos. The HDR is impressive and clearly present.

The lighting is great.

Yes, I know. I played it. But it was as dark and gritty as Killzone for the majority of the game.

In any case, I've disproved Bansheedie's implied point. More color isn't always better, because Gears is obviously graphically superior to Halo 3.

[QUOTE="Burnout_Player0"]i prefer halo3 to the 2 colors killzone hascatlin_czirr

7 colors.......is this a joke? Anyway for all the people that think halo 3 looks like crap are wrong, like iv being saying for a long time realistic visuals don't mean they are technically better than games using bright colours and effects you wouldn't see in real life. Some people like it better, and thats fine but saying its "better" graphics then whatever game using bright colors (like halo 3) is just wrong. And if you disagree then okay, put it this way.

lighting-killzone 2 has amazing lighting, but so does halo 3, honestly from watching the new halo 3 trailers the two games come close, but the winner is killzone

Draw distance-Halo 3. obviously.

poly count- halo 3, for the total amount of polys on screen i think it would be halo 3, with 10miles of geometry, but there's no doubt killzone 2s character models have more polys.

Textures-Halo 3-As of now, halo 3s textures are far more detailed then killzones.

It's called gritty, and Killzone 2 looks a heck of alot better than Halo 3, sorry did you see the blood? And the death animations?

Oh yes, we all know that blood truly makes a game great.

What are you, 14?

Halo 3 will have great multiplayer, and hopefully a great single player campaign.

KZ2 is the sequel to a 6.9 flopathon.

So go home fanboy.

I like the look of Halo, the graphics may not be outstanding, but it has beautiful artistic designs, and very nice vibrant colors.
