How many "Halo-haters" out there can stand up and admit they were wron

No pictures or videos here, they're splattered across a multitude of threads and don't need reposting for the nth time...

But I was wondering... Who out there has the guts to come stand up, admit they were bashing Halo's graphics, and have now been owned?

Surely at least a few of you must have the courage to admit it. Maybe even some Halo fans will admit they were apprehensive about the graphics and didn't like them but are now convinced...

So. Start fessin' up, boys.

dont bother. they'll just claim they never bashed. but i was here, i know.

and i remember all the claiming of the e306 trailer was CGI, and that the beta was final graphics :lol:

THHBO (Haters)
THE_Rob_Himself

Oh God yes...

"What you see is what you get," remember that about the Beta?

if they r haters why would they praise it now?plat1num913

Because not everyone is a completely rabid fanboy, and some of them may no longer be haters. They may be "converts". ;)

I just thought it'd be interesting to see if any responded...

Still not very impressed. Most of what we saw was off screen video. (which BTW makes the game look much better) The graphics still have a long way to go before they match/beat other amazing looking games...munu9

I don't think the graphics in Halo 3 look that special. They are nice but there are many games in developement that make them look rather ordinary.

I am not a fan of Halo, never have been, as much as i tried to like em. Halo for me is one of those games thats hyped up so much its as if people are brainwashed into believing its going to be the greatest game of all time.

Chances are it will be nothing more than an update of the others with good hi res graphics. Although i do think the multiplayer will be fantastic.

Well I dunno what it looked like before, but right now it looks visually pretty average for an upcoming game. If you think it looks somehow amazing you need to take the fanboy-goggles off, it ain't THAT good looking.EntwineX

before it use to look alomost like halo 2, now that it has imporved and become as you said pretty average compared to current games, lemmings are jumping with joy at the improvement

Wow, just looking at those new Halo 3 single player videos, you can see how downgraded the graphics got from the CGI showing at E3 2006. It looks like crap compared to the target video.

I mean, the game now looks worst than most 1st person shooters coming out this fall. And it only runs at 30fps. WTF? This is next gen, 30 fps is unacceptable. Even Bioshock looks better.

Crysis>Bioshock>Haze>Metroid Prime 3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Halo 3.

Halo 3's graphics are indeed good but when the dev said it equaled the 05 trailer........yeah...Ibacai

every piece of geometry on the cheif is the exact same as the e3 trailer, same with the lighting, draw distance etc.

the only change was the textures on the cheif, which was a design choice because they didnt want him looking like he was made of concrete. :|

stop ban dodging, and trolling, and go away.

guess whats also 30FPS KZ 2 :lol: :lol: :lol:

most FPS are 30. and i guarantee you that Haze wont be locked 60 FPS.

Halo 3 has better graphics than any wii game. please dont even mention MP: 3. every relatively decent 360 game has better visuals than it.

and Bioshock? i own that game, it glitches. and the character models are garbage compared to H 3.

I know? Idiotic isnt it?

I wouldn't say I was a hater as such, but yes it has much improved since the Beta and all the previous haters have been owned.

It may not be the greatest looking game nearing release - Crysis -, but if you expected it to be then you're overly optimistic...

They're more than adequate though and will help establish its AAA status.

Seems they are too busy praising KillZone 2, which is bad because so far all hyped PS3 games have flopped.wok7

Why?? Because the pencil pushers say so? No game is a flop until i judge it a flop!! For instance Halo 2 is a flop in my eyes.. (i beaten it). Halo 1 isnt a fliop, you see? I play the game.. i'll judgeafter i beat the game. Same with KZ2, MGS4, etc... I JUDGE THEM AFTER I BEAT THE GAME.. You guys will jump off a bridge if a "reviewer" says a game sucks, lol!! Think for yourselves..

I've never bashed Halo 3's graphics. Infact I think that's about all that's different from the 2nd one. Halo 2 with shiney new graphics. casey7672

Somewhere, someone is flooded under hundreds of Memo's addressed to you, detailing forge, 4 player co op (online), the new multiplayer system, new rankings, saved films feature, equipment, new third person weapons and map features such as the Man cannons and elephants...

That would be all well and good if the Halo 3 trailer was just a trailer. But it isn't.

It's a cutscene. It's in the game. And, as always, Halo cutscenes are in engine. So, the texture for the chief will probably have changed, but that "trailer" is still in the game (as far as we know. May have been cut now, but seems unlikely) and for all intents and purposes going to blend in.

Your eyes and decieving you. Ever hear that old wives tale about doing a certain something a little too much?

I also use Gamerankings instead of just single sources to be unbiased about games.

Of course he dosn't dont be foolish fanboys never have proof to back up what they say.

LMAO. Exactly. Whether you like the franchise or not, you should be man or woman enough to admit that an astonishing attention to gameplay detail and features has been paid by the developers. This thing has been very, very well thought out and it seems like every second day another interesting little detail is released. LMAO. Master marketing. Hopefully it will all add up to one great game.

I don't care what the dev's have to say the bottom line is that the E3 target render looks about 10X better than the latest batch of shots they have shown. I don't need links, or some website editor to tell me what i belive... I use my own eye's, and the target render >>>>>>>>>>> Current Halo 3 pics. Now granted reguardless of how the game looks, ( and it still looks really good ) I will be getting this game on day one ! I simply can't wait to play this game 4 player co-op !shaggymcp

Once more, seeing as no one seems to get it.

It wasn't CGI.

It wasn't a target render.

It wasn't even really a "trailer".

It's a cutscene. From 3 quarters of the way into the campaign. And as far as we know it's still there. It's in engine, and despite the texture change on the chief's armour well documented... It's the same.

Logic > Stupid eyes.

Half-Life 2 looks better. Looks good though, I hope you enjoy it.

Well genius :roll: if they were identical no one would be having this conversation. And why would bungie dev's make a comment about the master chiefs armor and changing it, if it looked identical ? o wait ? you just contradicted yourself, you fail :lol:shaggymcp

Aside from swapping a texture, it's the same. So Ok, you can say "Hm. I liked the old texture for the master chief better"...

What YOU were saying was "Oh man that totally doesn't live up to that target render they made" in which you not only got confused as to what it even was, failed to specify what exactly you meant. So I can only assume you meant everything. And everything else is the same.

But I can definitely see how you posting "you fail" and a smiley is a much better tool for discussion than logical, thought out, reasonable posting... Congratulations.

But Killzone is awesome, right? :roll:

yea beacuse " logic > stupid eye's " is so much better right ? :roll: O by the way nice method of adverting the attention from you contradicting yourself I guess you don't like the taste of your own medicine :lol:shaggymcp

I hate to inform you but... YES. Making a reasonable arguement and concluding with that is MUCH better than simply going "u fail! LOL!". Do you even understand communication at all?

Adverting the attention? Assuming you mean diverting the attention, how did I divert attention from it? I DESTROYED you saying that because I pointed out that you didn't specify the character model, just the cutscene (Which you called a target render) in general. In which I was correct in saying the technical specs and features were identical.

I'm having serious concern for your health. Might I suggest you... I dunno. See your high school psychiatrist or something.

yea beacuse " logic > stupid eye's " is so much better right ? :roll: O by the way nice method of adverting the attention from you contradicting yourself I guess you don't like the taste of your own medicine :lol:shaggymcp

He didn't contradict himself. I'm not even talking to either of you and i can see that he was clearly talking about quality. In terms of graphical fidelity, he thinks the two are identical.

Dont be a fanboy please. :|
