Halo Reach Graphics are surprisingly poor.

[QUOTE="Sgt_Crow"]It's not fun to look at because it looks 5 years old...? Why are there so many shallow/fake gamers these days. :( Do you say the same when you play retro games? Or you don't even attempt those?cyclops10

What have the game the consist of 3 different shades of brown/grey and fill it with motion blur?

I personally think it looks very good and the backgrounds are AMAZING!

Agreed, DNF is one of them

The game looks fine. Jesus Christ. You know what has poor graphics? Budget games.

it looks ok, not the greatest but the features in reach balances out the graphics imo

I thought Halo 3 looked terrible! I haven't played Reach yet though.

I think so, and I know you weren't being serious. :P

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"][QUOTE="enterawesome"] My pain is your fault... BTW I'm not actually taking shots, just proving a point. Did you read my one post about it in the DNF thread?enterawesome

Not to be a graphics whore...and i'm months late, i know. But i just picked this up today pre-owned...and damn. I'm shocked at how ugly this game is. I don't remember Halo 3 being this ugly? I know the Halo games aren't known for mindblowing graphics...but damn...it's just not fun to look at. It looks 5 years old.

I agree. I actually think Halo 3 looks better because of its vibrant visuals. Halo Reach is just bleh to look at from an art design stand point ... It looks ok in pictures but in motion its a blurry muddy dull mess. I hate it.

funny how GS and all other Halo/Ms @$$ kissers never knock points off for using a rehashed engine from Halo2.

on the other hand the graphics in Infamous 2 and gt5 werent good enough , the irony of game reviews.

Is this thread in response to how subpar the graphics are in the recently flopped Infamous 2?

I think it looks good but the fun of MP with friends makes up for any shortcomings.

Reach is by far the best looking 360 game to me.....

I love how lemmings would rather force themself to HATE polish and production values, and tell themselves they dont matter just because they cant use it as ammo on the imaginary console warz, instead of just wishing/demanding those same production values from a top tier franchize like Halo.

Why is it always the people who cant use "graphics/visuals/production values" to their advantage always the first ones to cry "buu..buu..buu, graphix =/= gameplay", as if the two are mutually exclusive or something? They are like the fat girl in highschool who never shuts the hell up about how the hot cheerleader is such a slut.

Infamous 2 is the most fun game I have played probably since the PSone/N64 days. In my opinion, if Sony can put that much production value into a previously obscure franchise like that, there is absolutely no reason a top tier franchise like Halo (which has a higher budget, sells more, and has a longer development time) cant do the same. This is not to bash reach because Halo is an excellent franchize, but god damn, give credit where it is due. Stop acting like if you had a choice to improve Halo's graphics you would say "no".

Its no stunner but its fine. Halo 3 was just plain ugly imo.

The HDR lighting from Halo 3 is gone in Reach and is now using a much lower precision model FP10, this is how they increased the resolution slightly but is still sub hd 1152 x 720. The temporal aa also creates a ghosting effect which further reduced the iq. Overall it's decent looking but far from the top tier on consoles.gpuking

It's not a bad-looking game. Admittedly the tech seems a bit dated. I like to compare Reach to STALKER - they both have some nice graphical features but they're ultimately less than the sum of their parts.

It looks alright. Good enough, imo. Some aspects look really good, actually, but there's just something strange going on with the visuals--overall--that is hard to pin down. Does anybody know what I mean?

Thats the first thing that hit me, the fans were saying it was a Killzone killer yet it was far from it. Its Still my favourite Halo since CE.tomarlyn

Yah this gen, all the Halo games were not graphically good looking . I figured after Halo 3 bungie would make their games a whole lot better in the graphics dept, but once again i was let down. Halo Reach compared to other games like GEOW series , KZ series, UC series, looks last gen. Sorry but any one who thinks that Halo Reach is awesome in the graphics dept, must only own a 360 :(spike6566

It looks better than Gears, imo.

Reach is terrible. The game sucks too. Halo 1 and 2 were EXTREMELY good for their time! Bungie ate monkey turds ever since.

I also found it unimpressive early on but found it got prettier later in the game, especially the night time sections.

Just to point out, those cutscenes in reach were Better than those in uncharted 2......... Better facial animation too ........*Hides*

A lot about Reach is surprisingly poor. Bungie sure didn't leave on a high note.

It looks great.

You need to pay attention to detail or get glasses.

i agree with this 10 thousand percent and i think this goes for every 360 game too in my eyes
