The Halo Reach footage proves the 360 has peaked.

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.

C'mon Kenny. You should know better than this.

Pretty much NOTHING has been shown yet. You can not seriously base what that trailer presented us with as a true representation of Halo: Reach's graphics.

The game is going to introduce a new engine, which I am even excited to see in action.

Now lets wait for some proper in-game footage before we make goofy claims and give it a proper chance. Yiou would want the same for a Sony game, would you not?

No, they're calling the PC dead silly.

:D

you sir, just made my day. thank you lmao

Mass Effect 2 looks fantastic on the 360 ....... on par with Uncharted 2. Nonstop-Madness

no. Just no.

u2 looks wayy better: both technically and artistically (obvioulsy this is my opinion :P)

So you trolled the 360, then switched for a week to troll the PS3 and somewhere along the line you went back to trolling 360.

Eh, I guess I would to if I had nothing better to do.

The 360's has been "tapped out" SO many times...killab2oo5

Yeah if anything, the fanboys have given a whole new award to 360.

"Console most repeatedly maxed out within its life cycle" :lol: :lol:

It looks more than good enough...

TC, you do know that vid was prerendered right?

me 2 looks exactly like me 1....no its not on par with U2 and i feel this one will suffer from frame rate issuesstereointegrity

I fell out of my seat laughing... I haven't laughed so hard since Gamespot said Demon Souls was a better rpg than Dragon Age Origins.

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

Harder architecture?

The really ironic thing about the OP is that the footage in the trailer is not even real time, they had to render the frames individually and then speed up the footage to a fast frame rate for solid playback. It also has postprocessed image quality improvements. In other words the graphics in the trailer are not actually attainable by the Xbox 360 in real time.Brownesque

We all know that they optimized the trailer, and that it won't look like this in-game. But even so, they did use the engine assets, so this is suggestive of how improved the in-game visuals will be from Halo 3 in-game graphics.

[QUOTE="shawn7324"]

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.

[QUOTE="rolo107"]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. MC3887

I agree.....Alan Wake it will be look on par with Uncharted 2.I can't wait for that game.For the Halo:Reach i have to say only one thing.....if the graphics is like the trailer then Halo:Reach is the new console graphics King.

Alan Wake.....

Halo:REACH......

Both PS3 and 360 pretty much peaked already

Look at history. ALL CONSOLES continue to have improvements in graphical quality, etc as their cycle progresses, due to new techniques being found, optimization code, etc. To say that the 360 is "tapped out" or "maxed out" in graphics is just flat out ridiculous.

Thats true. But no one is expecting Reach to look one generation ahead. Also there are already great looking games on 360 like Gears2, Resident Evil 5, Assassins Creed 2, etc. Im expecting Reach to look a bit better than those (probably on pair with uncharted2) and im sure its possible.

Am i right in saying that no 360 game has been built from the ground up, to take advantage of the hardware like killzone 2 on the PS3? If so then the 360 still has more left in it's 4 year old hardware.Racer850

Bungie has never been known for creating graphically impressive games. lhughey

Mass Effect 2 looks fantastic on the 360 ....... on par with Uncharted 2. Nonstop-Madness

I think it looks great also, BUTXbox 360 launched in 2005 and Mass effect launched in 2007 and thenME2in 2010 compaired to PS3 in 2006 UC in 2007 and UC in 2009.

Not to mention that Xbox has been known how it works well while its hard to program on PS3 and just now being understood with great strides to come.
