[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"][QUOTE="Bansheesdie"] Seasoned designers, proven franchise, the franchise has always been GOTY quality, both of the previous installments are thought to be the way to make a console shooter.

Its Halo, its always been that game that is better then most.

zelda had all of that. jade empire had all of that. flop.

With all due respect to Jade Empire, it wasn't exactly up with what Halo 3 is experiencing now. The Twilight Princess argument is the most appropriate I feel. It was from a proven series, proven developers, etc. but in the area it faltered (lack of a new feeling due to similar environments and weapons) Halo 3 doesn't have to worry about those areas.

The multiplayer is all around improved, the single player is larger and more intuned to why Halo has recieved so much praise, the gamepay. I think H3 will leave such a large mark is because it will be just so much better then Halo 2.

In my eyes, from everything I know about H3, these are the only visible flaws: Overall length will be not be much more then Halo 2 (Bungie has confirmed this twice) and the difficulty won't be enough to please seasoned veterans.

that is what system wars is lol. Fanboys do anything to claim ownage. I still remember the halo 3 beta test and how cows claimed they played it and called it a halo 2.5. And i also remember the chaos when zelda tp was not given a AAA score. Fanboys fight over the smallest things. If you don't like it, don't go in SW. (i do cause it is so funny when cows defend their ps3's lack of games, when lems deny the rrod problem, and when sheep prove that their system is next-gen).

BTW i own all three consoles.

I think because it was the cheapest.PS3Licker

Simple fact Consoles aren't solid investments, and it doesn't really matter if it break if u buy in store warranly u just get another one if one breaks with the store warranty...people usually aren't smart enough tho to buy store warranty tho...LibertySaint

The warranty covers unlimited returns for the 3 yrs? Do you receive a refurbished model or a brand new model?

Hmmm Wipeout Pure was one of my favorite games for the system. So is Vice City Stories. I actually plan on getting Daxter too cause it did get good reviews and I like platformers.

My big regret was Generations of Chaos. I looked like a really cool strategy game like Dragon Force for Saturn,but it was one of the most poorly designed and executed games I ever played. When there are load times when your trying to navigate your pause menu system, you know the game is bad.

Aha.

Both are 1280x720 and were obviously provided to IGN by Bungie themselves as they were the ones who covered the new map revealed. One isn't low-res, they're both the same damn resolution. 720p, one of them has better image quality than the other because of...? You guessed it ---> Doctoring.

Secondly, lol I never claimed IGN had any part in the doctoring. It's bungie, just like they did with the Halo 2 screenshots, just like they did with the Halo 3 beta screenshots and like they still do.

See this one too? See the absurd difference in resolution? One isn't even in HD and the other is... 2160p. I never knew Halo was rendered at that resolution. Hmm.

Here's a nice Halo 2 bullshot to sink your teeth into. Do you understand what I'm getting at now?

Halo 2 bullshots ---> Higher resolution + better AA+AF than actual game.
Halo 3 Beta bullshots ---> Higher resolution + better AA than the actual game. O: Shocking.

Halo 3 ... The trailer grabs have jaggies, the screens from Bungie don't. But at the same time Bungie is releasing screens at absurd resolutions with absurd amounts of AA+AF. If being realistic is being a fanboy, then I suppose I am one. You know what, it feels much better than being delusional. Although I don't remember saying the graphics suck... Might have just slipped out. ;)inertk
