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.

Im not sure i can....

Aaah now i see it.

Ah, good...Because when I played it it looke a lot like this:  but I'm glad I see how it's suppost to look now... I know my 42 inch 1080P 120Mhz with motion plus is just a 360 fanboy.

Alan Wake does and probably will look better than Reach but you gotta remember that Reach still has over 9 months to work on it and this is just 1-2 stage(es).

ROFL, :Dand this game was hyped to be the new graphics king? Yuck, what were you 100 percent lemmings thinking. Shame on you. GTA4 was a lot bigger than this game and looks a lot better than this game also. Nice try lems, maybe Alan Bake will take on the mighty UC2 for a 360 only graphics king, ROFL. Oh THis is the laugh of the day:lol:

It doesn't exactly looks great but it's not ugly.. It's just decent looking, however it still has a long way to go so we'll probably be seeing improvements.

Bungie said they were going to upgrade the HDR, and it looks like they have.

The visuals in this game almost rival Resistance Fall of Man. So close.

Battle of the 2006 level graphics am start lol

Resistance fall of man 2006....Oh yeah, andit has those oh so impressive 40 player online battles lemmings seemed to be so impressed with for a game comming out on 360 now in 2010.

Doesn't look impressive at all, but unlike some people, I wasn't expecting this to be graphics king. I'm expecting it to be a great game, however, which is what the main emphasis should be on, not graphics.

If you want to call something graphics king, look at Mass Effect 2 or Alan Wake.

Very unimpressive, but then again i'm not really expecting it to look like that. I imagine when you're playing it properly in first person it'll look much better.

i like how nobody was allowed to criticize U2, KZ2, GOW3, GT5 graphically without cows making some 'pre-alpha' or 'early build' excuse, yet cows seem happy to immediately rip into Halo Reach based off the first couple of screens.

it was hyped fir its graphics, every lemming was like "wait for Halo reach, it will be the graphics king for 2010, the first cotum engine on the x360, you will see the real x360 capabilities" . it's a halo game, so the sales are secured, but it won't be anything special in the graphical department, gameplay wise, it will play like other Halos, which is good.

The textures look better in Reach from what I can see. Look at the walls. I even think the character models are better. Although the lighting effects on Kratos's head look fantastic.

Just change 360 to Ps3 and lemmings to cows...And it fits perfectly.

*points to the first pic* See that cliff line.. major fail. Bungie just can not do decent landscapes.

The game looks alright I guess just the terrain looks awful but i suppose its being played on a console so its going to have to have some limits. Plus that GoW3 pic isnt anything special :S

There are the hardcore Halo fans that just want to believe it can happen. I agree Bungie has never produced "best in class" graphics.

[QUOTE="lucky_star"][QUOTE="fireballonfire"]

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.

fireballonfire

Damage control much? Fake physics? Like what? Like the train level in KZ2? Fake shadows? Like the sadows shown by using the flashlight with your shotgun in KZ2? Or the sahdows casted from muzzle flash? Lets not even bring up U2 because it will destroy you. Blurr effects looks like it gets the job done then, it still looks better. Limited areas? So is this a open world game like Crysis?

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.

:shock: teh scripted physicz!!!

Take it up with IGN then

here is a good example of the photomode vs real.

Well, i assume you have never played Halo3 because when i play it, it looks exactly lithe your "photomode" screen...

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??!"

WTF TRUCK

Shad0ki11

Don't know if someone has answered you yet, but Game Informer said that in Reach you can commender non-military vehicles.

[QUOTE="almighty151986"][ And open world or not, it's not impressive by todays standards.

It's impressive for a Open world Game with 40 A.I and 20 vehicles at once,show me a ps3 open world game doing that,and what standarts? there is no console game that has done anything special,all these so called graphic kings on ps3 are linear and corridor level games with barely no that much going on..PC games are the only ones that set the bar high like Crysis,Stalker,Arma II etc.

Yep, plenty of time to throw in polish. Besides, these screens arn't exactly of high quality either -- you can see that easily. Large battles, large scale levels ... this is going to be impressive once it's released.

I sure hope they put a lot of focus on single player this time around instead of just making a throwaway campaign to accompany multiplayer.

[QUOTE="killzowned24"][QUOTE="R3FURBISHED"] Take it up with IGN thenPAL360

here is a good example of the photomode vs real.

Well, i assume you have never played Halo3 because when i play it, it looks exactly lithe your "photomode" screen...

Photo mode applies high amounts of MSAA and AF texture filtering, Were as the game itself HAS NONE!! So I can GUARANTEE you that your game will NEVER look like photo mode...

[QUOTE="Tessellation"][QUOTE="almighty151986"][ And open world or not, it's not impressive by todays standards.

It's impressive for a Open world Game with 40 A.I and 20 vehicles at once,show me a ps3 open world game doing that,and what standarts? there is no console game that has done anything special,all these so called graphic kings on ps3 are linear and corridor level games with barely no that much going on..PC games are the only ones that set the bar high like Crysis,Stalker,Arma II etc.

Why did you mention PS3 on a few occasions? I own NO console as they are both weak and can offer me nothing that I cannot get on my PC :)
