Since when does Halo Reach look bad?

I have heard alot of people comment about how Halo Reach and the Halo games in general are bad looking, and I can't understand it. How does this look bad?

How is this bad looking?

It doesn't look bad at all. It's not a graphical showpiece like Gears of War 3 is for the 360 or Killzone 3 is for the PS3 or The Witcher 2 is for the PC, etc. But it's a great looking game. I think it looks fantastic and I love the improvements to the faces since Halo 3. Halo: Reach looks like a legit current-gen game. No complaints from me.

its definetly not bad looking, but there is better.

You could at least post direct feed shots @ 1280x720 without watermarks. :roll:

Why are the pictures so small, is there a vita port I don't know about?

Reach doesn't look bad at all.

Halo 3 is jaggy city though. I started playing MP again the other day...bleh, they really stand out in that one.

It doesn't look bad but it aint anything to brag about.

At times it looks bad.

I'll admit that the character models look pretty good, ("Dat vaseline :cool:") but that's about it imo.

Wouldn't say Reach looked bad.

Just nothing to write home about, graphically. Very average.

I thought the SP campaign was spectacularly good and the co-op was excellent.

MP was garbage, and the Halo universe in general is...well, basically US military worship. Imagine a game about US marines, and having it set in space. That's Halo. Complete with calling them "Spartans" like the movie 300, they glamorize these space marines. It sells like candy to middle America Republican crowd, but to some of us, it just feels disingenuous and cheesy.

i definitely think its one of the better looking games this gen, even though it doesn't' have as much focus on what is immediately apparent like other games do, savagetwinkie

It looks just right. It doesn't look bad, or great.

I think it looks fantastic. The levels in Halo are huge, and have alot of AI fighting in em, alot of lighting going with a stable framerate.

So it's pretty good.

Dammit I wanna play Reach online now!

Halo 3 to me is still one of the best looking games of this gen with some of the best looking water you'll see in a game. I'll be honest though I really didn't care for the art/color scheme in Reach.

Halo 3.....

By the way I think 343 did an excellent job with Anniversary which to me looks beautiful.

In terms of looks.....

1. Halo: Anniversary

2. Halo 3 (dat water!)

3. Halo Reach (Dem washed out colors :P

It ain't bad. But it ain't awesome aswell.

It never did.
Whoever said that's gonna get stabbed up

He slashes one way, he slashes another, he slashes diagonal, he's like connect four in dagger terms!

You're kidding right? It's a blurry, muddy, low-res jag fest.

It's not bad looking at all but it's not that great as well ... it's kinda inbetween. It's still fun so who, cares?

What TV where you playing on.

It is that odd motion effect that people don't like, I think.

I don't think it looks bad.It looks pretty good.

Looks nice really. Besides, it's purely subjective for people and I can certainly see peopel complaining about it in some areas.

Some people claim the game was in "Sub HD" I sure as hell couldn't tell though, it looked fine to me. But it is a little dated and it looks like crap compared to Killzone, but just about every game looks like crap to Killzone :P

Plus, people expected it to push the hardware--to be the best looking game on consoles because it was bungies first attempt at a true 360 title.

Panasonic ST30 60". Quite a good TV. Best value out there (series wise, not size.)

Dammit that one is a good TV

[QUOTE="rilpas"]I think the game would look much better if they remove all of it's bloom, motion blur and any and all types of blur that game has the same goes for Halo 3, ODST and Halo 2Stevo_the_gamer

Didn't halo 2 have bloom?

I remember it being blurry, but I haven't played it in years so maybe it's my mind playing tricks on me

since it came out, back in 2010 i believe

it looked semi-decent on my 23'' Samsung LCD.

I played it on my living room set and It was a nightmare.

Run it side by side with Killzone 2 on the same sized TV and you will understand... It doesnt exactly look "bad", but the best console FPSs are miles ahead graphically.

Some people claim the game was in "Sub HD" I sure as hell couldn't tell though, it looked fine to me. But it is a little dated and it looks like crap compared to Killzone, but just about every game looks like crap to Killzone :P

It looks alright.
