Can we all pretty much agree that the 360 has peaked in terms of grahpics? I mean i cant think of one exclusive that looks as good as Gears Of War, and no game that has come out on the 360 since has been able to surpass Gears Of War in terms of of overall visuals and grahpics. Heck Gears 2 didnt even look as visually impressive as Gears 1 did. After seeing the new "in game" footage of Halo Reach ive come to the conlusion that the 360 is already at peak in terms of visuals and graphics.

I mean if MS really wanted one game to really push visuals to the next level for the 360 it would be Halo Reach, but so far from what has been shown, the graphics engine is very underwhelming.. I think the 360 at this point has peaked graphically, thats probably another reason MS is now focusing on Natal, they know they have maximized the 360s technical capabilities so now they are just looking to a more motion based Natal type system to appeal to the casuals.

Reach looks pretty. Batman and Assassin's Creed looked pretty this year. So no it hasn't peaked.

Nope, Halo games never max the system. What I can confirm is that you really need to be more consistent. I can never follow your allegiance and the fanboy in your threads is getting out of control.

I can name tons that surpass gears. Brink, BFBC2, AC2, Alan wake(what we have seen so far surpasses UC2 for a visual stand point), etc. Halo reach will probably have 4 player co-op with tons of enemies and large environments. I would like to see any game on any console try that and come off looking better than GEOW.

I got to there and loled.

This is coming from someone who doesn't like Halo nor Gears of War, but Gears of War 2 looked way better than the first one could have ever hoped.

With that said the TC really needs to go look at some recent screen shots and videos of some upcoming games or even games that are out now like Bayonetta.

Besides, even if the TC was correct and that the Xbox 360 peaked with Gears 1, doesn't Gameplay > Graphics?

Kennysolidsnake

just to name a few that pretty much match Geow 2, if not surpass it

Kameo Elements of Power:

Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts:

and of course one that people tend to forget about (prob cuz its a multiplat I suppose)

Farcry 2
Far Cry 2 Screenshot

but needless to say I do not feel that the 360 or the PS3 have hit there peaks in garaphical abilities yet, and I dont feel that Reach is the pinnicle of the 360s abilities either, I dont think we will see either consoles powers completely maxed out till we get very near the end of the generation. Plus what makes you say that Reachs graphics are underwhealming? Have there been more trailers released since the VGAs that I dont know about?

Im not the biggest Halo fan, but i thought the Reach video looked amazing (graphically). I'd go so far as to say its more likely it wont look that good.

Agreed if anything Alan Wake will "peak" the 360. Or if Gears 3 is for 360.

TC=WRONG. Who was expecting the next Halo to be graphically advanced anyways? Seems to me Bungie will follow suit & stick with what they have already done, work hard on game play & extra features.

Yup. Because everyone who likes snake is a ps3 fanboy. Great logic buddy.

I agree with you, your name is irrelevant. Your allegiance and fanboyismhas already been shown in like less than 100 posts however. That is more than enough for me to think clone is right.

Well what I've seen of Halo: Reach does look far better than Halo 3 already.... so I'm expecting Reach to be a beautiful game... especially since I think Halo 3 is a beautiful game, save for the character models (humans) faces.

TC, Gears 2 looked better than 1, definitely when it comes to character models and textures.

We have to see gameplay footage of Reach 1st, most likely at E3, I'm not counting the beta because betas are never finished products.

Yes, I think it's perfectly reasonable to come to broad, sweeping conclusions about a platform's capabilities based on a 60-second trailer. :?

Honestly I think the 360 hasn't really been pushed and expoited like the PS3...it should have plenty of headroom left.

lol Based off of a trailer, that's good. Secondly, Halo Reach's graphics look better than everything I've seen except Uncharted, and that's just from the trailer. Clearly I'll wait to form a final opinion until I own the game, but I'm just doing what you are.

Who cares? the Xbox360 and PS3 are pretty close graphics wise aside from a few exceptions.. I would take graphical inferiority any day as a PS3 owner if it meant that my system had interface and multiplayer superioity.. Which is far more important in my eyes then anything the system can muster graphically..

.. Who cares either way? Halo 3 was good for other reasons besides the graphics.. And is still extremely popular and it has nothing to do with the graphics..

The skybox detail and armor detail/character models where great. That is all you could really see lol.
