Yup halo 4 will be console graphics king at least until crysis 3 releases on consoles next year. But just the fact that I'm mentioning it next to crysis 3 just shows how great a job 343 has done with halo 4. But seriously the gameplay footage we've seen looks clean unlike u3 which can be jaggilicious and very pixelated. Yes kz3 looks good but again the game doesn't look as clean compared to the gameplay footage in halo 4. Seriously kz3 looks like a mess some times with jaggies all over the place (lol at that jungle scene which looks TERRIBLE) and some terrible looking textures. And why do people continue to hype god of war that only looks good because of boss battles. It has jaggies, poor AF and looks unimpressive when you pan away from Kratos. Trust me I played the game and outside of boss battles it doesn't look that good. I never understood why people called god of war 3 visuals inconsistent. Now I see why. Seriously Halo 4 is already making the Cartoony visuals in WhoFarted 3 and TLOU look dated. Just too cartoony looking and looks messy. Yes they look good but what 343 is doing is taking it to the next level. By the way halo 4 is doing this with big expansive battles unlike the camera-restricted god of war 3 or the corridor shooter known as kz3 or the blockbuster movie of WhoFarted 3 Lol at cows in full damage control with their knee-jerk reactions. Why so sensitive? Don't be scared. Remember it's not just about the visuals so at least you cows can still rely on deep ps3 gameplay experiences and features...oh wait....greensand24
Tho juvenile I must admit, I'm still :lol: :P

I admit God of War 3 is way over-rated in the graphics department., It goes from god to average way to often not to many the backgrounds and environments sometimes have a generic blocky look. But I have to give it to Killzone 3. It was jaggy and I had several times when the sound skipped of the graphics would have a strange stutter and it would look like the pic turned almost snowy before it fixed itself (I traded it in for another used copy and it did it as well but not near as bad. Not sure if it is because I was playing on 1080p when I should of been playing on 720p). I even liked the single played campaign in KZ3 but the multiplayer was pretty crappy. Take the KZ3 single player camplaign and KZ2's multiplayer campaign and it is a slight notch below Halo 3 and step below Reach. I have not played it obviously so it is no guarantee but Halo 4 looks like it is gonna raise the bar even higher. Not even gonna mention Resistance or at least its multiplayer. We can just laugh and move on....

Halo 4 will not be a graphics king. Halo has too much stuff going on with big open levels, tons of enemies with different AI, great physics engine, vehicles flying all over the shop, etc. Graphics kings tend to be smaller scale linear games. (No disrespect to that type of game!)

This is true, Halo doesn't need and never needed to be graphics king to be good. It's SW who makes things that way. If it's not top tier graphics they feel like it's sub standard

Just like every other PS3 exclusive...

Reiko2K1

Uncharted, Heavy Rain, God of War 3, Killzone, and Demon's Souls all have great animations. And it's sad that after 7 years of this generation Halo FINALLY has a 1280x720 res.

The fact that you looked at the trailer and said the game has terrible animations really shows just how wrong you are. But yeah... 3 more months till system wars goes into meltdown from Halo 4 hype.

Halo always has terrible animations. Of course it is something I would look out for.

Halo stopped having terrible animations with Halo Reach. The animation fidelity is being raised higher with Halo 4.

Bringing it to Naughty Dog, Guerrila Games, or Santa Monica Studios level.

Every single time, every single Halo gets hyped up for it's graphics, they release tons of bullshots and bulltrailers, then the game releases and looks like crap. Ever time.

Eddie-Vedder

I'm going ot have to agree with you right here. Halo Reach was a fine looking game, but it was far behind the screens that Bungie released before its launch. Same with ODST and Halo 3.

Do you work for 343i or something? Surely you aren't overhyping and hyperbolizing this game for free

Every single one of those shots were from cutscenes. And the messed up thing is that because the game has to fit on a DVD all of those cutscenes are gonna be grainey and washed out.

Don't care if it is or isn't console graphics king.... gonna buy it, play it, and have fun.

Halo is the best console exclusive fps.... 343 seems to be doing Halo right.

Also it looks pretty damn nice, graphically.... I'm impressed that a console built for release in 2005 can produce such graphics.

I'm sooooo pumped to see what next gen will bring us.

I feel like I'm one of the few true gamers that visits these forums..... 95% of the people here act like they own shares in MS, Sony and/or Nintendo.

If Halo 4 does look that good... just imagine how good it could have looked if they turned Halo into a "walking down a hallway sim" like Killzone2/3

Lems have no new exclusive IP games to brag about so now they resort to "Graphics king" topics? Pathetic.

It looks really good, I hope the performance is consistent. Halo Reach is one of the best looking games on the Xbox 360, but the performance at times was quite inconsistent.

you mean like The Last of Us? you cows were crying so hard when in-game shots came out you were even trying to make out shots on Naughty Dogs website were "more accurate" ones :lol: seriously this happens with ALL console games, they release promo shots first then the much worse looking in-game screens come after. The difference is cows seem to have a much harder time acknowledging the in-game screens, which is why there are so many ridiculous claims about PS3 games looking miles better than 360 ones and looking as good as PC games in SW.

I agree with this for the most part but I dunno, I think Halo 4's bullshots are up there with the bullshots I saw for The Last of Us but I get what you're saying about the scale. Halo has always been most impressive in terms of its scale and I have to say, the set pieces 343 is working with for Halo 4 look pretty impressive.

Because despite the huge E3 SP Gameplay reveal, and countless MP videos... 343i still hasn't shown "gameplay".

You only have a few downsampled bullshots...

Wait for real 720p screens before getting your hopes up.

You would think Cows have forgotten how many times they have been wrong or had to eat their crow. Of course they go into this strange denial and scream "Wit til next time!" It has been 6 years. I am still waiting. Aside from a few here and there you never even see them post true topics anymore. They post the same thing everyday and it is usually about a game that was just released on the 360. Then a thread later they scream "The 360 got no games!" nonsense. Incredibly stupid fan base. Never seen anything like it.

The game is 720p native with FXAA... Play Mass Effect 3... That's the image quality of Halo 4.

Total HD Twin fanboy circle jerk in here. This games looks 'Meh' from what I have seen, to many times has Halo been hyped for its graphics and then ended up looking like crap. Will wait till I experience the graphics for mysel first handf before trusting any screenshots.

Looks worse than Crysis 1 PC. Halo 4 does not look good enough to be console graphics king. I really don't understand how people can fool themselves into thinking this looks better than U3.

Nothing else on consoles beats it in the graphical department, so I assume this assertion is true.

How many 720p shots of Halo 4 do you have?

Go on,let me see a few before we crown the game as the new console graphics king...

Oh,and I played Mass Effect 3 on PC,in 1080p.I really doubt that's the image quality of Halo 4...
