Was Halo 3 supposed to look like the trailers shown last year?

The E3 trailer was a target.

The ad was all pre-rendered. 

Halo 3 isnt out.

I'm not saying 360 couldn't handle it, nor am I saying Halo 3 looks like crap. But Halo 3 doesn't look as good as the target trailer. And it's impossible for a Autumn 2007 to get such a graphics overhaul from now until then.

Thanks for clearing that up.

We still haven't seen single player footage yet, so I'd hold my judgement on that.

I doubt the SP would look that much better than the multiplayer. It might look remotely close to the target trailer at best, but only in parts of the game. I blame Halo 2 and Gears of War for rising my standards too high. I should be content with good wii graphics.

That in-engine trailer is running on Xbox 360. Also, according to EGM, who has seen the Single Player-portion of the game, it does live up to the trailer. Now, Bungie just have to show the SP-portion to the public.

I'm not going to report or anything, but let's keep the discussion to Halo 3. We get enough senselss bashing of console and dev performance as it is. If you want to bash something, bash Halo 3 (and give a reason).

gamespot saw that they could move the cheif around in the trailer, he was fully controllable.

Are you talking about the E3 2006 trailer?

That was the SP portion and it's kind of old news now that it was entirely in-engine. Bungie had a more detailed showing behind closed doors to the press further confirming that what we saw was real.

In other words, the game WILL end up looking like that IF Bungie manages to optimize the engine for gameplay use (more characters on screen, AI etc. etc.).

The draw distance is more like 10 miles.

There won't be 50 vehicles, more like 10-15 along with about 20-30 enemies and allies with a draw distance of around 10 miles.

Lemmings say --- "Sony lied about Killzone on PS3...PS3 can never handle that"

Lemmings say --- "Halo 3 was completely ingame in that trailer last year and will blow Killzone outta the water graphically" :lol:

"They never said that AvidGamer!"...Yes they did...after the Halo 3 trailer last year over and over and over again.  So, it is ok to think that teh mighty Master Chief will have graphics better than Killzone, but it is not ok to think for a second that Killzone quality graphics are capable on PS3?  Teh hypocrisy :o

I know Halo 3 is the most anticipated videogame this year...maybe even ever.  But, please don't get unrealistic about your expectations for this title.  

game of the Year, Graphics of the year, 9.6.

scored higher than every ps3 game. Lair isnt out, neither is MGS4.

9.6 means nothing. you know game scores from long ago had lower standards right?

Wait, you're serious?

It's okay if Bungie displays the E3 2006 trailer, call it in-engine and claim that the game will end up looking like that, IF they actually pull it off in time for release. We're not sure if they'll pull it off yet, we've seen nothing yet from the Single Player-portion, and add to that the fact that they have development time till November to deliver. If they don't deliver, I'll gladly join you and start the bashing.

Killzone, however, is a entirely different story. They display something that is CLEARLY CGI footage, call it real-time (although it very much isn't) then hide the game in the dark for almost one year...****c. Even if they do deliver up to the quality of their CGI vid (which I very much doubt they will), that doesn't erase the fact that they flat-out lied.

Bungie didn't lie about their footage, it looked good enough to be CGI, but it wasn't as they clearly demonstrated to the press behind closed doors. This is comparable to EPIC showing of Unreal Tournament 3 to the public in E3 2005, rotating the camera etc., showing that everything was indeed real-time.

What Bungie has left to do is keep their word and deliver something that lives up to E3 2006 within the next 7 months. Sony already broke their word by lying.

Bungie did however fail in my eyes when they showed off their BS Halo 2 footage in E3 2003. When Halo 2 was finally released, it looked nothing like they had displayed. They better pretty damn well deliver this time around.

How long have you people been here and you still dont know that prerenderred/CGI/target/we just want to get you all hyped up and then smash your hopes video are always bull. Get over it. Motorstorm did it. Halo 3 did it. What about MGS 4 and Killzone 2? No way those videos are ingame. Get over yourselves. You are just mad that you fell for the videos and actually thought that that was actually what they were going to looked like.Spartan8907

Killzone 2, clearly CGI...same goes for Motorstorm.

As for Halo 3 and MGS4...both have been said to be real-time by ther respective devs...let's wait and see shall we? I mean, games such as Resistance: FoM lived up to its first display (E3 2005). So did Gears of War.
