Theater Mode adds nothing to the end image expect a different perspective.

Allthough, since we're playing this trivial game. Note: Halo is also rendering far more AI just outside of view :)

I think the people who are saying that Reach is the second best looking game on the market is not an opinion but a side effect of not having anything else but Halo on the same system for over 5 years.

Why are you chosing screenshots that look equally crappy on both sides? When comparing you should compare the best of each not the worst.

Why? Most of the game will not look as "excellent" as your cherry picked images.

The images you want to pick are from heavily scripted events. Which Uncharted is full of. It's very linear, didI mention that (twice) Even the worst looking games can look good once or twice.

Also, the only thing you're taking into consideration is detail. Halo offers far more then that. As has been said in this thread, it's lighting is above and boyond UC2's, as with it's scale, amount of AI and particle effects. All you're showing of is a glorified piece of static scenery.

Anyway. I'm pretty much done with this thread. It's clear you're as stubborn as I.

Framerate kills it, especially durning the cutscenes. However, it still looks great even if it doesn't quite have the specs. That's why enviromental artists should be a top priority over getting in those last couple of pixles.

No, not really. I've just decided to ignore the opinions of obvious fanboys, I find it gives me time to consider the opinions of the good folk of System Wars

... but i'm not a fanboy, I have a wii, ps3 and am currently saving up for a gaming pc and the 3ds. Sorry you would get the wrong impression of me though. A fanboy of games yes :D

And I own a 360, Wii, PS3, DS, PSP and a Gaming PC.

I still think the Wii complete garbage and my opinion on pretty much all if its games shouldn't even be considered by Wii enthusiasts

You see, ownership does not stop one from being biased, or a fanboy.

True, although I think one can have console preferences, but therefore being labeled a "fanboy". I also have a PS3 and 360, but I prefer my 360. I can acknowledge that the PS3 is a better piece of hardware(Bluray,free online,etc.), and vastly catching up to the 360. It also seems that the PS3 is leading in the exclusive market also. I just prefer my 360 controller, and all my friends are on Xbox Live. I think a fanboy is someone who disses another system for one reason or the other, and hypes up the system that they own.

Hmm I wasn't impressed at all with Reach while I was pretty impressed with U2 even though I'm used to playing games like Crysis on high. Technically, if you go by numbers (such as polygon counts and texture detail) U2 is still far superior to Reach.

Eggimannd

Polygon Count is just one part of it ... I have no idea how many either game is pushing so,I won't argue

As for texture detail. I'd argue Reach's are better.

Where are you getting these numbers from exactly?

It's obvious we're getting nowhere here ...

You serious? :? I thought this one would be a no brainer and everyone would agree U2 has better textures. I mean I can get you screenshots to compare but I thought this one is pretty obvious and not for arguing.

So many bullshots in this thread.

Seriously people will either post screenshots that are much higher res than the game or much loer res.

Posting at much lower res hides most of the bad details and posting in too high of a res is just bullshot refinement.

He will probably just use theater mode which is not true in game quality.

Most consoles use lower res textures because they have a low amount of vRAM and RAM.

Halo Reach might use lower res textures in some areas because it is larger in scale.

It looks pretty good. In terms of Halo's art style I would say they pushed it as far as humanly possible. Not much left to do with it.
