HALO 3 have the best lighting in this Gen

Pariah_001

Killzone 2 says hello.

I dont understand what's great about killzone's lighting at all. :?

Dude, these are still images. It doesnt look like that in the game. Not even close. Even a game running at full 1080p wont even look that good. Mind you, Halo 3 doesnt even run at 720p. You're misinterpreting still images and real in-game visuals. They do not look the same, not even close.Elann2008

They do, you just dont realise it. In the very first level, as you walk fowards for the first time past the you crashed, stop and look up. It's bungie's fault for not putting it in the player's line of sight, but seriously, stop and look up, and be amazed at the lighting coming through the tree canopy and the thin layer of haze. It's very beautiful indeed. I think we just dont notice the subtle lighting effects when you're shooting stuff.

if by best you mean most average then yesHeydanbud92

If it's average, post games which look better. And no, not Crysis. Crysis destroys everything, hands down. If Halo has average lighting however (despite have two frame buffers just to make the lighting engine work as well as it does), please show the games which have lighting so damn awesome that Halo is average in comparison.

I don't really think Halo's lighting is the best...

Stalker. If you have not played the game,go look at screenshots and watch videos yourself,I'm too lazy to post them.

The game is AMAZING looking

...but EXTREMELY ugly in others.

Its just a very inconsistent. some the indoor levels look like a shinier Halo CE

I have played stalker. It is amazing. It hardly proves the point that halo's lighting is average though, does it?

While I agree, the game's lighting doesnt just look "average" I think these games look alot better. (used in game shots for all)

Like it or hate it, it's lighting is going to involve some of the most extensive programming this generation. It's probably going to be on par with Alan Wake's lighting.

After reading that I thought I would go have a look.

Sorry but I don't see what makes it look as impressive as Alan Wake's lighting, any better examples?

All that means is that you didn't do enough for research. There's more than just a preview.

Well I looked around and there was indeed an article talking about the lighting, sadly it no longer exists.

I found somewhere that quoted it but without images the descriptions are not much to go on.

Play the Cortana level and the end of the Floodgates level (where you enter that downed flood infested covenant ship to look for Cortana). Those two levels showcase some amazing lighting.

epic bump?

Wow, times have changed huh. I would not have even thought that Halo3 would have been in a graphics comparison thread. Geez at the time this was going on Uncharted was out, Mgs4 was out. I have to see who started this thread back then lol.

COD4 has better lighting, Halo 3 is just really bloomy :evil:W1NGMAN-

No, just no.

Halo3 looks amazing. Well, except the marine caracter models

[QUOTE="EmperorSupreme"][QUOTE="VitunLehmat"] KZ2 lighting isn't HDR or dynamic.VitunLehmat

Is this not dynamic lighting?

Stalker Clear Sky and Crysis have much better lighting this gen, sorry to break it to ya.

Clearly haven't played Crysis.

I really liked the lighting in Halo 3, but watching the ODST video they have mastered the art of lighting for console games imo. Looks amazing.

not even on consoles, Killzone 2 has far better lighting.

[QUOTE="river_rat3117"]

the HDR is EPIC

Nisim19

Killzone 2 is the best so far. The lighting from muzzle flash is best in class. The best 360 game with lighting is Gears 2 by far, Halo can't compete.

Xbox 360 have the best lighting.
