Is it just me or is Reach not much better looking than Halo 3?

[QUOTE="topgunmv"]

Reach looks like halo3 just like GoW3 looks like GoW2.

Messiahbolical-

You make absolutely no sense. Despite the fact that Reach isn't out yet, have you ever heard of an analogy? If I say dog is to cat as man is to woman, do you think that means men chase women up trees?

Overstatement of the year. GoW3 looks almost infinitely better than GoW2, while Reach looks minimally better than Halo 3. Only the biggest lems would deny that.

It's hilarious how my title changes depending on what stupid remarks I'm slapping down that day. Last week I was a hermit. A few days ago a consolite. Today apparently I'm a lemming.

Well ya gotta admit, that was a pretty horrible analogy. The difference between GoW2 and GoW3 is WAAAAAAAY bigger than that of Halo 3 and Reach. GoW2 was a PS2 game for christ sakes.

Halo reach clearly looks better but its not a huge improvement like lemmings (or huge halo fanboys) are saying

[QUOTE="Vesica_Prime"]Messiahbolical-

uhhh. dude here's reach,

now try saying that that looks like this:

hang on if we can get some SP halo 3 gifs with the pre Alpha reach gifs perhaps OP will finally see the Massive difference

All the hype over Reach's graphics is leaving me scratching my head. I just don't see any improvements other than the character models. I realise the game isn't finished and the end product can look alot better, but as of right now, why in the hell are you people acting like this will be some graphical marvel? Now Alan Wake I can understand, but no screens or videos of Reach released thus far have given any indication that it will be.

Anyone who doesn't think it looks much better is incorrect. The game is factually vastly improved from Halo 3 in terms of just about everything under the hood.

Did any of the doubters see the comparisons in the GI cover story? :| And look at the detail on the faces now.

dee cowz rrr jus madz cuz dey iz nots goingz teh b abel tah playz z halo reach...cry cowz, cry...

to all Lems thinking this will be a graphical leap, they're just kidding themselves.

first off, Halo 3 is not a graphical feat. yes, there were ALOT more games in 2007 that looked better than Reach. Bioshock looks better. CoD4 looks better. UC looked better.

that aside, it may look better, but nowhere near the level of UC2 and GoW3. even Killzone 2.

bu-b-but Reach is teh open worldz and those are corridor shooters...

huh, funny it still looks worse. when talking about graphics, it's not about it being open-world or linear. it's about how good it looks.

The first vidoc looks leaps and bound better.

Why are graphics such a focus? Halo games have always looked underwhelming. That's not why they are enjoyable. I am not an FPS person, I can attest that I don't honestly care that I find multipayer graphics inhalo 3 ugly as hell. Its fun.

How am I bashing it? I'm asking a simple question: Why in the HELL are you people acting like Reach will be a graphical marvel when there has been no indication that it will be?

Wow. Cows are really scared of Halo Reach lol. and the beta's not even out yet :lol:

1. pebbles are flat when you aren't looking at them close up. 2.thats moss not grass, and when you aren't looking close up moss looks flat.... Its the side of a sheer cliff how good is it supposed to look? its the ground as in dirt...how good is it supposed too look?WilliamRLBaker

this good.

and to the people who'll say these are bullshots, "hahahahah!". i sorry, this is all running in 40fps.

Reach will definitely look better than Halo 3. but not this good.

Yet the ground Kratos' is standing on is also flat :| Along with the cliff edge and the second pic is soo damn dark, you could put pee in there and make it look amazing lolFunconsole

funny, it's in Hades. no wonder there's no light in the underworld. honestly, i have never thought of that. seriously. like, in all seriousness. i thought it'd be paradise with rainbows and cotton candies. totally. yep, it does look amazing.

For a game in Alpha, it looks pretty good.

Whether you like Halo Reach graphics or not you can't deny that they made some major improvements on the graphics.

1. Reach is still in it's alpha stage.
2. Watch the vidoc Bungie released for Reach a while back. It'll clear a lot of things up.
3. Reach already looks much better than Halo 3.

Not to say GOW3 looks bad but the ground textures look horrid. The detail on the rest of the terrain look good but low poly(look at the rocks), but being that they are rocks it suits it. SM was smart with the PS3, I mean how often do you see a close up of the ground? They know how to hide bad looking things, more power too them.

[QUOTE="toast_burner"][QUOTE="CwlHeddwyn"] just stop right there Cow.slvrraven9

[QUOTE="slvrraven9"][QUOTE="toast_burner"]he has a point but hes not very good at saying it.toast_burner

It will be more of a technical marvel than a visual one.

Its just you. I've yet to see in-game shots from any PS3 game. All we've seen were photomode, replay, cutscene or saturated down-scaled off screens of PS3 games. Halo 3 players can capture their own screens as can Forza 3 players. The new slogan should be: PS3 graphics king, in photos only.Vadamee

Halo 3 bump res up to 720p and adds 2XAA in screens. Forza 3 adds alot of detail to the car you are driving(and it stays the same for others.), aswell as DOF, and AA.

To me it looks much better than Halo 3. In comparison I'd say it looks 3 times more different (improvement), than say Uncharted 2 looks from Uncharted 1.
