Let me start of by saying both of these games graphically look horrible. Jaggies, bad polygons, washed out colors, you name it. I believe that both of these FPS's could have been done on the original xbox. Is this not next-gen? Halo 3 looks like your on an acid trip in Willy Wonka's toy factory and Resistance 2 is just brown and ugly.

Anyways which of these crappy looking games have the worst graphics? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.......................

I respectfully disagree, both Resistance 2 and Halo 3 have good graphics -- maybe not amazing, but they are certainly not the "worst".

Resistance 2 is more generic FPS with cool guns. While Halo 3 is a superb FPS with Generic guys. But halo 3 blows resistance away on every level from graphics to multiplayer.

Both have average graphics, but having played both, R2 looks better.

Halo 3 can actually look great at times, although no graphical powerhouse. The art style alone puts in leagues above resistance 2

I think you'd better go back and play some original Xbox games. You're sounding just a tad bit delusional.

If anyone believes either of these look like Xbox games, then ya'll need to go back and hook up the OG Xbox to your HDTV. ;) Truly, you'd be amazed by how badly some games have aged.

Anyways, they're both about on par with each other. They look good enough, and both have huge spider walker things, except you totally get to dive on top of the ones in Halo 3 in a truly bad*** fashion. :)

Leviathan > Scarabs.Corey_Barlog_SM

Uh, no. The Leviathan was pretty much a QTE (not really). You just ran around and got in spots the developer wanted you to go, then shot off rockets. It didn't really fight back.

The Scarab was far more epic. Running up the catwalk and jumping down onto the scarab was crazy!

Both games's developers made the mistake of thinking that gamers really care about scale more than detail.

I didn't care that much for graphics plaiying Halo 3. My main gripe were the character models, if I have to talk about graphics exclusively...

Haven't played Resistance 2 yet, but I was pretty disapointed with Halo's graphics.

Since we get something mind-blowing awesome looking like Gears, couldn't Halo look just as good?

Though I have to admit Halo in places looks awesome :D

I think resistance 2 is better. Halo 3 to me didn't look like it progressed that much from Halo 2. That being said, I don' think it is an ugly game and never though any of the Halo's were ugly. What I don't understand is how you think these games graphics sucks. I guess it is a personal preference. I just got a 42" 1080p HD tv and got all the cable and stuff to get my ps3 to run the HD graphics. Resistance 2 before the HD was ok, not amazing but ok. But when it was running in HD (720) it was just great. Not the best I have ever seen, but really damn good.

Halo has worse graphics for sure. The ground looks like it was from the 64 days..... yet the scarab looks pretty good. Most of the game looks like outdated, I don't even understand how people praise this for its graphics.

I really can't stand the Halo 3, but I'll give you it has good graphics. I really can't comprehend how you think these games look like their on the xbox. Willy Wonka acid trip? That'd be more like Jet Set Radio.

Let me start of by saying both of these games graphically look horrible. Jaggies, bad polygons, washed out colors, you name it. I believe that both of these FPS's could have been done on the original xbox. Is this not next-gen? Halo 3 looks like your on an acid trip in Willy Wonka's toy factory and Resistance 2 is just brown and ugly.

Anyways which of these crappy looking games have the worst graphics? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.......................

CB4McGusto

Resistance 2 looks better but thats mostly because it came out this year. But saying they both could've been done on the original xbox is a bit over-exaggerated.

Resistance 2 looks better without a doubt though Halo 3 is more colorful. Resistance 2 looks good but the environments feel bland. There are so many places that look like they can be accessed but blocked by invisible walls.

People who say Halo 3 has bad graphics aren't even looking closely at all. Go to theatre mode, and zoom in as close as you can on a spartans helmet, or the walls inside the bases on Snowbound. It looks real. And the map Ghost town has a nice colour pallette and lighting too.

It's also important to remember the awesome physics running all the time, that eats at memory too.

no I'm not...seriously do you remember any gamers posting pics of R2 after it released that looked like that.... I'm talking about the gamers....not PR Bullshots like the example you posted..... after Halo 3 released there were tons of posts of fanboys claiming their photos were exactly how it looked on their T.V. screens..... same with PGR4

Regarding graphics as a whole Resistance is better. But Halo could be on par with it if it was an '08 game.

Still, Halo 3 has some of the best reacting and better looking water this gen.

As an Xbox fan, i must say respectively that Resistance 2 has better graphics than Halo 3. However neither of them are inferior to one another, gameplay wise.

youre comparing Resistance 2 toTHAT?.

Zaibach

Yes. He's actually comparing a game that sold a little over 1 million copies, if that, to a game that sold 2.5 million copies in its first NIGHT... Yea, thats not fair

BTW, Halo 3's textures arnt all that great but it has some of the best lighting and HDR is a game this gen
