Halo 4 looks pretty amazing (OP updated with added sexiness)

yes

Which renders your comment moot.

if this was a pc game there would be 10 pages of people calling the OP an elitist.

oh and it would also look good, instead of hideous.

Am I looking at the same screenshots as everyone else? looks like a generic Unreal Engine 3 game. I honestly see nothing impressive about those screenshots whatsoever.

Its a periscope man. Allows me to see what others can't.

Anyways, what exactly looks good in these shots? There are some particles floating around and the HUD looks liked its framed from a visor on a helmet. The textures are bland and muddy. There is a lot of hazy volumetric lighting that makes everything look blurry.

Is it the lack of jaggies people are excited about? Honestly help me out here, I don't understand.

I think the bullshot accusations are more because there is no aliasing in any of those picturesferret-gamer

There are plenty of animated gifs floating around and nobody was bringing that up. I'm not the most knowledgeble person here when it comes to post processing so I can't really say on specifics.

I hold to the same opinion that I always have: I'm afraid of what this new company will do with Halo. I don't think Bungie made Halo everything it could have been. With Halo 3, despite having IMO the best FPS MP on consoles, the campaign was pretty awful and the story was full of plotholes.

Anyways, I'm afraid 343 won't take enough risks. Risks and changes aren't everything, you know the "if it ain't broke" adage; but I feel that whenever a developer wants to make a sequel, they need to ask themselves the following questions:

- What is the point of the franchise?

- What defines this franchinse?

- What makes this franchise unique?

- How can we produce a game that more ideally answers these questions?

I feel that most developers either stick to whatever works without ever evolving (Call of Duty) or just change the series beyond what the series should be (Splinter Cell Conviction).

My point is this, I hope their goal is to make Halo 4 not just Halo, not just risky, but more Halo than any Halo before it.

This constitutes as amazing?

Did someone say AA? More like AAA and that will be confirmed this E3.

I will admit those look very good for a console game.

Yes, Mass effect 3 uses FXAA. What is your point?

Pikachu69er

1188x668? :lol:

Still looks pretty good. I've seen better (on consoles) though.

Tikeio

What? No, that's just because the person who ripped the screens at full screen in the game informer digital mag viewer only got that size, the size of the image varies depending on the resolution of your screen (i'm guessing max is 720p, then it just oversizes the image)

Anyway, game is confirmd to be native 30fps, 720p with FXAA.

I always thought Reach looked pretty amazing. Second or third best looking 360 game behind Gears 2 and 3. Halo 4 looks amazing in those screenshots though.

Pretty generic if you ask meSPBoss

EDIT: Nevermind. I went and used Internet Explorer and I can see them now.

killzone 3 has spoiled me...those dont look good. Id even go as far to say that reach looks better than those screenscampzor

Wow. That is really nice. Master Chiefs model is absolutely amazing. TheColbert

hahaha:) Hey my broski:) I've been good! I have been having a great time with the new Uncharted maps. Love'em:) I had to take a break though, because I was being overwhelmed by too much awesome all at one time hahaha. That can be dangerous ya'know. Fun fact: did you know that, Naughty Dog is required by law to put a warning on all their games, for too much exposure of awesome. Naughty dog games can kill you from too much awesome, if your not careful. Its been proven. No but seriously, Now I'm posting here for a little bit, before I jump back into more U3 awesome-sauce. How have you been my good dude?:)brofists

I've been wonderful, and thank you for the useful information.

The screens look good(not on par with other great looking console games like Killzone 3, uncharted 3, ect. ect.) but still good, though I will have to see somo of this in motion before I make a final judgment.
