It's so bland and uninteresting to look at.

Orchid87

Halo Reach looks bland?

The levels look bland. Characters look stupid. I guess they compensate each other.

I agree. Even though the tech doesn't always hold up, the styling is outstanding.

@gpuking: That's a horrible comparison and those KZ3 shots look like feces.

Have finished Reaach and now looking at those pics... goodish graphics and thats it. The PS3 has much, much better looking exclusives (some of which are from last year at that) and lets not even compare it to the PC. Even Mass effect 2 and Gears 2 on 360 have better grahics imho.

I actually played Halo 3 just before Reach came out.Wen I got reach I didn't see huge improvement and Halo 3 is a bad looking game by todays standarts tbh.

So no, its not one of the best looking games this gen, not even close.However it is one of the OK looking games this gen.

I agree with him it's a terrible comparison, the first pic looks worse than the game actually does and the second one is just a rock with a backround, which isn't really representative of most of the game.

How can it look worse than the actual game when it's been taken from the game itself? It's a direct feed capture so there's no excuse. The outdoor scene in Reach is pretty much rocks and some drop ships, the game is very sparse and lack of detail as the reviews have mentioned.

If that shots DF then that means all of the enemies are moving and blur will be applied on them, so that makes it look much worse than when it's in motion. The second pic is a close up of a rock, none of your KZ3 pics are close ups of anything, so for a fair comparison you should use similar shots.

[QUOTE="hexashadow13"]No it isn't. :/ You can argue about how much it has on screen and open environments making it technically advanced, but it doesn't look all that great.

Looks great to me. Looks great to a lot of people. Opinion vary. i didn't think KZ2 looked all that great either. Thought Gears 2 and Uncharted 2 looked better overall.

How many times are you going to post that same picture? Anyone can post a picture during 30 frames of action, and make a game look bad -- dare I do the same thing with Uncharted 2? ;)

Reach looks decent in my eyes. Nothing spectacular, but nothing bad either.

Probably in the top 20.

No offence, the graphics aren't bad, I just don't see what stands out about them. I mean, what do the visuals do that differenciate them from other games?

Though to be fair, I haven't been impressed by graphics as of late. I've seen gradual minor improvements; but nothing that has blown me away like in the old days.

[QUOTE="Silenthps"]no, to even break the top 20 you have to be on PC0Hamburgher
Those 20 games are? It annoys me, PC fanboys never give any proof to back up their arguments.

Crysis

Crysis Warhead

Metro 2033

Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead

Arma 2

Cryostasis

Mafia 2

Half Life 2 Cinematic Mod

STALKER SoC Complete

STALKER CoP

STALKER Clear Sky

Starcraft 2

Battlefield Bad Company 2

CoD Black Ops (I think it looks amazing on PC. Massive difference but not nearly as massive as Metro 2033 360 vs PC)

DiRT 2

Arcania Gothic 4 (Mediocre game but still visually great)

GTA4

Oblivion (With mods it still looks great even today)

F1 2010

Just Cause 2

Mirrors Edge

Batman Arkham Asylum

Thats what...22-23 games that all look better than a console's best.

Nah, I'm a huge Halo fan but even I know there are better looking games. Although I do find it visually appealing, it has a good mix of technical graphics along with a great art style.

Yay you gave some evidence. Although you must be joking with Mafia 2, Just caus 2, GTA 4, HL 2 cinematic mod, and Arkham Asylum. Back on topic Halo Reach is far from the best looking; I think it was a downgrade from Halo 3, actually.

It does look great, but there are serious jaggie problems and other technical flaws. Some areas just don't look that good. However, I think it's a case of technical proficiency not equaling visual excellence. Halo Reach is a great game to look at, despite its technical flaws.

If I was joking I wouldn't have been posting them. Mafia 2 is a f'ing beauty maxed out and PhysX going. On my PC it runs like crap with PhysX on but damn it looks really good. Just Cause 2? Open world and really detailed. GTA4? Have you seen the pictures of mods for this game? Same with HL2 Cinematic, its a major overhaul that makes it look really good thanks to the insanely good textures and such. Arkham Asylum? Yeah I kinda put that down last minute but I'd take it over any console game. It looks that good on PC imo.

I think Reach was an upgrade from Halo 3 but Halo 3 was trash. I don't get how people called it good. Reach isn't bad but with such a low resolution and overall muddy appearance I refuse to call it good.

You think he's joking and then say that reach is a downgrade? Personally I noticed quite a difference between the two.

If you were to play Uncharted 2, the 360 will never impress you graphics wise! There still is a chance with Gears 3, but we're gonna have to wait for that.

Sorry, my PC is kind of screw up (can't even play youtube videos) so the "edit" button is not there, or smiley faces. I just wanted to add that Halo is a very fun game, I never liked a Halo so much. But we all know graphics don't make a game, it helps, but don't make it. Almost any PS3 exclusive looks better than Reach. I'm just posting facts here!!!

I thought it looked pretty good when i palyed it. but that was probaly due to how much better it looked compared to 3 and ODST, which didnt look great even when they came out.
