Halo Reach graphical prowess. (look at the description before voting)

Where does Halo Reach graphics stand?

1) This is about its technical visual, not a combination with art like color palette.

2) What's the level of anti-aliasing in the game?

3) So does the sky and clouds in the Planet Reach volumetric like in Crysis?

4) How about the texture? Is it comparable to PS3 powerhouse like God Of War 3 or Uncharted 2? Or is it on Crysis level?

5) So is it the best looking Xbox360 game? (engine wise, not aesthetic)

6) What's the quality of the weapon models?

7) Is there any modern graphical aspects like Global Illumination, HDR, tessellation, dynamic day/night, dynamic weather?

8) Is the physics on the level of Crysis?

Nothing that we haven't seen before, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

What the hell is up with cows and the ps3's graphics? Seriously, uncharted 2 isn't that amazing looking.

In reality crysis's graphics arn't that amazing. First you need a very expensive gaming rig, second you need mods to make it look awesome (very high looks bland), with mods on it then plays at 20 fps even on the most expensive pc's which is unplayable (without aa too lol). So I don't think crysis is that amazing afterall. The only problem with Reach is that it has no dynamic shadows, but the rest is just breathtaking.

Ya how about you actually take a screenshot showing you have Crysis. Also have notepad open saying your name. Because from what I've seen of your posting history, I HIGHLY doubt you've ever played Crysis.

I voted crysis for teh lulz. I don't have the game yet so i dunno, but I'd say from what I've seen that it's probably the best looking 360 game, and probably will rival most PS3 games.

I play Crysis on a £500 pre build PC and can play it at 1440x900, High, 30fps. Which automatically trumps any other Shooter on consoles.

I honestly cant see how you can rate a games graphics without factoring in the art. You may aswell just benchmark the game engines to see how fast the textures stream and the poly's draw. The aesthetic of a game is 50/50 with art and technology, you cant make a game look good by focusing on one.

Crysis is a joke. On my $1000 rig it could barely run on high at 1920x1080 with NO AA! And it definatly doesn't look better then reach on high. It shows how bad crytek is at optimising there engine, Reach runs at 30 fps with AA and all on a quater as powerfull console.

lol this guy is on a PC hate crusade. He is on so many PC hate threads. I just laugh at him.

Funny you say Crysis doesn't look good. I have it installed on my PC. Unmodded, 1080p, very high with 4xAA and 8x AF. Everyone that sees it, 360 gamers, PS3 gamers...ANYONE.....thinks it looks amazing, i still love to see their faces when i shoew them it.

it looks amazing considering how clean it is and how smooth it is. the beta was an absolute joy and I can't wait till tuesday.

Look in the "pc isn't that amazing thread", I posted a couple of pics.

Stop turning this thread into another Crysis/PC vs the world! It's about Halo: Reach.

How will anyone take you seriously after this statement?

it is hard for me to judge by looking at the videos of Reach, and specs on parer I do not give alot for.

It does impress me tho, looks fairly fluent, and I think that the draw ddistace looks decent from what I can tell.

most things looks like a quite capable engine, likely on par with what we will see from gears 3.

but again, untill I see the game with my own eyes, I can not make any kind of judgement that would be valid.

I lost faith in tech specs on engine after seeing several games supposed to run on 60 fps dip to the 20 more often then 60. and30 fps games dp to low tens.

Not on a single machine either.

So I honestly couldnt knowO.o I doubt most of us would?

A solid engine that is almost a given, and it seems like quite a big step up from the previous titles.

So a cautious guess would be "best on 360 untill Gears 3 arrives"

Art is subjective.

Exactly, its juvenile that people still try to say "ZoMG this teh best lookin game EVERRR!!1!" because its all subjective. I think Killzone looks drab and uninteresting. Sure it may have fantastic lighting, but why does that matter? If you think Halo looks good; good for you!

it's behind Gears of War 3, but still a great looking title.

i don't think it quite has the visual novelty of games like Uncharted 2 or God of War 3, though.

This is a joke right?

Reaches graphics are terrible

Low res with no AA

[QUOTE="gamebreakerz__"]Seriously, who voted Crysis level?Vaasman

If Crysis supposed to represent the highest level on your list then I'd say Reach is up there.

waltefmoney

I still think gears 1 has great graphics but yes I'm joking. Of course we need to remember that when we see any 360 game that looks like they have good graphics these are all bull shots even while playing it, because the 360 can never compare to the ps3 graphics.

You seem confused. 360 and PS3 standards are the same and both are pretty far from PC ones.

On topic, going by vids i think reach is one of the best looking console games so far. Gears3 and others may look better next year.
