The GameInformer Halo: Reach Screens *56k Insert Witty Saying Here*

What's going on in this thread? :?II_Seraphim_II

Those screens look awesome, looks tons better than uncharted 2 imo.

Guys remember, this isn't the full game so the looks of the game will change....promise.

[QUOTE="Drakes_Fortune"]Wow, i didnt tought it was going to look good, but i certanly didnt tought it was gonna look that bad. :O . Of the upcoming games its probably the one that looks worst. It almost looks like Ps2.Tessellation

Evidently you haven't seen this so I'll go ahead and forward it to you:

Judging from those screens I'd say it looks more impressive than UC2 or KZ2. The graphics look solid and tight with nothing to hide.

ouch so much for the new microsoft engine topping killzone 2 :(

Just what the hell is this vehicle doing here?! It's totally out of place....much like the Warthog vehicles in the previous games. I want vehicles with some goddamn imagination! Same thing goes with the Mjollnir armor and a number of the alien species. Halo games are great quality, but from a design standpoint it's like "wtf were they thinking??!"

Graphics look really outdated and not much better than Haze.

I like the way they have redesigned/updated the characters.

Not mind blowing, but I'm loving it. :)

I don't think the Lemmings ever expected a graphics king, exceeding Crysis is impossible on consoles. At least they got a game rivaling the best on the PS3.

ok Gears 2 - crossed out

Lost Planet 2- crossed out

Mass Effect 2 - crossed out

and now Halo Reach - crossed out

so lemmings what game are you predicting now that halo reach is out to be graphic king ????

Alan Wake, Reach and Crysis 2 will putthe 360back on top.

Turn on your monitor.

KZ2 has good animations I'll give it that.But the rest meh. Think of PS3 graphics as paper-graphics. They are thin and very fragile. Blurr effects to cover up, fake physics, 2D skyboxes, fake shadows, limited areas etc.

After_Math

Dont understand why all those people are crying about....it actually allready looks better than on December trailer. The spartan seems to be more detailed....armor isnt that smooth anymore, its having more scratches. Same for the groud textures which are more detailed than on trailer.

So theres allready improvement.

Are you nervous? What's up with you?

what was all that propaganda about?? a new costum engine built from the ground up for the x360, right??? was that what the lemmings were claiming??? Halo reach graphics king, huh ???? is that the best the x360can do???

anyway, i love the character model and their design, it's very iconic to Halo games.

What are you saying?

Well reach certainly looks better than GOW3 which some fools seem to be hyping for its graphicsSpanks113

maybe they will have better luck with Halo 4

(cough on Xbox 720 Cough)

You can't be serious. Just can't.

ive seen this before they have a rare case of damage control they have been so long without any game which graphic stand out and are so eagerly looking to top PS3 games that they go into serious denial.

There will never be consensus regarding console graphics king. Cows will say UC2 and KZ2 because they own a PS3. Lemmings will say Reach, Alan Wake and Crysis 2. Let's have a PS3 graphics king and a 360 graphics king and everyone will be happy.

I don't know if Reach will be better looking than KZ2 or UC2. But I have played games long enough to know that the graphics of those two games are nothing special.Besidesgood animation what do they have, smoke and mirrors perhaps?

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"]Old but still look nice.urdead18

Which 5 year old on System Wars told you it was going to be as graphically impressive as Killzone 2 ?

If I remember correctly a microsoft dev said they were building a new engine to rival Killzone 2

lucky_star

Fake physics as in scripted physics.

Do all the objects in KZ2 cast a proper shadow, no. Fake lightning also comes as a bonus.

UC2 destroy me, I don't see how. Everything in the game is indestructible (it can't destory anything unless scripted). Interactivity is limited and scripted. Linear, low amount of animted objects on screen. Fake Skybox (2D). Nothing impressive about that.

SHame that's all pretty useless, and no one really gives..

Call me a dreamer John. But wouldn't it be the ideal situation if everybody spend more time being happy with what they have than worrying about what they don't?

If you are a Cow and believes that UC2 is the best piece of software ever written in terms ofgraphics, it's ok. But many of you are just trying to hard to down play anything thatappears threatning to your perfect little gaming world.

ehm, im no Graphic whore and i like my 360 more than my PS3. But god those do not look that good. I Mean, they look ok. But nothing more!.. And those who says otherwise. your BLIND.

Character models look good but environments look average at best, not sure why everyone is hyping the graphics of this game. Gears of War 2 is a better looking 360 game in my opinion, so far that is.

Well, if you're aiming for such a large scope you can't do much better than that. Killzone 2 looks better, but that game doesn't have any vehicles or especially large maps either.

Considering the game will have large environments, i think it looks good visually... No console graphics king for sure but hey why must every game coming out have to be the next 'console' graphics king to be even considered a great title..

Looking forward to Reach :)

I think they look amazing. Especially considering the scale of this game

This will probably be a great game. Although bungie isn't really a graphically talented studio, they have a talent for selling alot of copies.
