Halo 3 is in alpha stage

Why do u guys keep comparing gms to the alpha build of halo?This what bungie said NOTE: All of the game footage in this doc was taken during the Alpha stage and isn't even representative of what you'll see in the Public Beta, let alone the final game. You will see frame rate skips, unfinished animation and graphical features that will change come Fall. All the footage is clearly marked Alpha. You're looking at the features here folks, not the final quality bar - which we've set pretty high. Your next taste of that will be in May.

have you guys ever put ice cream on brownies? Its crazy delicious...Japanese_Monk

Ice cream on Apple Pie>Ice Cream on Brownies.

Hmmm I usually put whipped cream on those....but ice cream? Its so simple why didnt i think of it! 

alpha is pretty much what u get in the final vers. except maybe lower gfx and better lighting.. cause the main goal in alpha is getting everything straight up and running at a good fps... so to obtain better fps u have 2 options cut in the data or cut in the gfx / find a tweak .... not the contrary

so what u see is what u get

http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12310 Try reading this before you post and then watch the previous ViDoc and tell me how much of that is in the ViDoc.

they are 5 months away from final, have a lots of maps to optimize, bugs to fix, data to clean... you people really belive its going to look better than that ?

wait and see, but dont worry because gameplay only counts in the end

So is Ratchet: Future...

They dont look as bad as Halo 3 does though.

Lair is 8 weeks from shipping, that is not alpha.  They still need to make the games.

One of the biggest lingering questions about Lair right now is its current status and expected release date, so we'll get that right out of the way. The version we saw was an alpha build, but it sounds like the game is pretty close to making it to beta. Factor 5 says that its development process makes for a quick progression from the "first alpha" to the final finished form, and that we can expect to see Lair on store shelves this July. Indeed, dragon battles on our PlayStation 3s are a mere three months away.

Shut up if you dont know what you're talking about.

Still says that it is the version NOW, and coming out in 3 months.  Unlike the halo 3 game footage, which is from a year or more away.  If you can calculate time, i should not have to show you the different in months.

Developers do not need to concentrate on the same things.  Also, a developer can pimp up the graphics of certain things and just show that.  Halo 3 did not do that, it showed all it has.  Why?  I am guessing because bungie knows it looks good, and knows it has no need to impress people yet.  Ratchet does....it kinda...sucks

Halo 3 isn't Alpha, that last ViDoc was made a couple of months ago. I know you're worried about Halo 3 and I'm here to tell you you don't have worry. Halo 3's graphics will be superb.

...and so was MGS4...Timesplitter14

One's a trailer, the other's a documentary. There's a big difference there. Compare Halo 3's trailer (E306) to one of MGS4's trailers.

alpha is pretty much what u get in the final vers. except maybe lower gfx and better lighting.. cause the main goal in alpha is getting everything straight up and running at a good fps... so to obtain better fps u have 2 options cut in the data or cut in the gfx / find a tweak .... not the contrary

 

so what u see is what u get
