[QUOTE="Panosola"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] That explains everything, I knew the game wasn't going to look exactly like this, unlike most people in this thread.:lol:

stereointegrity

If those photos are just not even alpha stage yet then i can't imagine how it will look at the and.....maybe not the same like U2,because it is a open FPS,but i am sure at the end it will look like the trailer and a lot better than KZ2.

............they are not even alpha stage yet and already look very good and better than Halo 3.

did u sharpen these images?

Those are just better quality photos,just more clear......i find them in Google.The first photos here are just bad quality photos.

So you decided to rehost them on your photobucket account? Where'd you get the pictures, not to say I don't believe you, but you must have a source.

[QUOTE="mayceV"][QUOTE="MangaJ"]

So, if somebody can actually enhance an image like that in private, why wouldn't the developers be able to just enhance the graphics like that with all their equipment and skill?

MangaJ

because when the game comes out, people would find out and it would be called a scandle and the person/studio doing it would look like a giant pile of poop.

No, I mean why wouldn't the developers just enhance the graphics like that in the actual gamem you know? Surely they could fiddle with contrast and sharpness for the ingame graphics.

Not enhance the graphics, up the bump detail in the textures...From the before and after pictures, looks as if they just pulled the bump and spec slider down a little.

No, those are the real pictures that were leaked the other two touched up pictures... I would love it if you could find me a site not a forum a site that has those pictures and prove me wrong.

When arguing that a game looks amazing it would help your argument if you didn't feel the need to make them look "clearer".

Because someone shopped those photos, meaning they're not higher quality -- meaning they're bogus in that sense, and I'll be damned if I don't find out who's responsible for this.

Sorry but i think the first photos here are touched up...they look a lot blur and i think they have done that just to bashing the game.I think it is a conspiracy against the Halo:REACH.I can't remember the link but i will try to find this again....i think it was from a france forum.I i don't think that the difference is big....they are just more clear.

You're right 10+ gaming sites are all in on this and decided to use those blurry screens over the ridiculously sharp images that can only be found on these forums in this topic... :|.

I'd show you why they've been, or at least look as if they've been sharpened in photoshop if the computer I'm using had PS on it. It'd take me about 4 seconds to do it. Basically, the most telltale signs are the aliasing on the text, the differences in colours and the roughness attributed to oversharpening an image alongside the slight halo created. One other thing, is the snowy picture, it's just far too obvious. Anyway, the most obvious indication would be the great big EBGames watermark which grew aliasing.

Why are people trying to make Halo into a graphics whore? The series never relied on graphics, and it never will. That's what makes it great. Don't get me wrong, games like Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 had great visuals. Butthey don'thave anywhere near the longevity that a Halo game has. COD was never "teh graphix king"...but again, it has the gameplay depth that keep people coming back.

So, panosola apparent believes Sony concocted some Machivellian scheme to get publications internet-wide to show "tainted" Halo Reach pics. Glad to see the tinfoil hat hasn't gone out of style.

So they'll have an excuse to bash PS3 of course........But then again, perhaps some people simply want to appreciate Reach's visuals in of itself, which violates SW tradition.

It's not exactly ludicrous to expect Microsoft's largest title to look the best, or at least as good as the other top-tier games available -- especially considering the budget and resources the team must be allocated. Especially what, 3 years after their first showing -- which had the old engine as an excuse for it's lackluster presentation. Naturally you can understand how people's expectations weren't fulfilled by these screenshots, forgetting the lofty expectations created by what I said above, but even compared to the trailer they released not so long ago. Even if the final product is the best looking game ever imagined, what we're being shown here doesn't really impress me. But again, I'd rather wait for gameplay footage.

None of the previous Halo installments had the best graphics outin their respective times- so expecting this game to be ground breaking in the graphics department is an expectation that deviates from what Bungie is focused on. They've always been focused on giving an all-around complete product. None of the other proposed "graphics kings" have anywhere near the amount of depth that Halo 3 had. And the results are evident. Offline coop/multiplayer 4 player splitscreen, online with 4 player splitscreen, forge, theater, internet uploading/downloading etc. If you are a graphics kind of guy, than that's great. But I'd rather have solid graphics and more features. And Bungie seems to think the same.

"Naturally you can understand how people's expectations weren't fulfilled by these screenshots"...who's fault is that? How stupid do you have to be toexpect top notch screenshots from a game thatisn't due for another 8-12 months. Not only that, the screens weren't dated, so who knows how early they were taken. I know this is system wars, and logic is hard to come by...but be reasonable. I'm starting to think that common sense isn't so common anymore.

None of the previous Halo installments had the best graphics outin their respective times-

I'd say CE was better looking than any console game at the time. First time I could actually see detail while playing split screen.

So I actually READ the GI article, instead of just looking at the screens, and its starting to sound like theyre doing some new stuff with the formula, and battles should be more epic. Not to mention the grittier darker feel, while still maintaining the Halo artstyle. This will no doubt be an awesome game.

[QUOTE="inertk"][QUOTE="kingsfan_0333"]

Why are people trying to make Halo into a graphics whore? The series never relied on graphics, and it never will. That's what makes it great. Don't get me wrong, games like Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 had great visuals. Butthey don'thave anywhere near the longevity that a Halo game has. COD was never "teh graphix king"...but again, it has the gameplay depth that keep people coming back.

It's not exactly ludicrous to expect Microsoft's largest title to look the best, or at least as good as the other top-tier games available -- especially considering the budget and resources the team must be allocated. Especially what, 3 years after their first showing -- which had the old engine as an excuse for it's lackluster presentation. Naturally you can understand how people's expectations weren't fulfilled by these screenshots, forgetting the lofty expectations created by what I said above, but even compared to the trailer they released not so long ago. Even if the final product is the best looking game ever imagined, what we're being shown here doesn't really impress me. But again, I'd rather wait for gameplay footage.

None of the previous Halo installments had the best graphics outin their respective times- so expecting this game to be ground breaking in the graphics department is an expectation that deviates from what Bungie is focused on. They've always been focused on giving an all-around complete product. None of the other proposed "graphics kings" have anywhere near the amount of depth that Halo 3 had. And the results are evident. Offline coop/multiplayer 4 player splitscreen, online with 4 player splitscreen, forge, theater, internet uploading/downloading etc. If you are a graphics kind of guy, than that's great. But I'd rather have solid graphics and more features. And Bungie seems to think the same.

What are you talking about? The first 2 had some of the best console graphics for their time.

It's the same enemy (with the possibility of human insurrectionists) and of course there are some new weapons.

When it comes to Bungie, awesome gameplay is pretty much guaranteed so the only thing left to argue over is graphics :P

No there's a new enemy in the screens. They're like a cousin to the Jackals.
