Do you think that Halo: Reach will graphically be the best looking game on the 360 when it's released? Something of Gears 2 or Killzone 2's graphical quality when they were released? Bungie has always achieved an amazing art direction in their games, but in terms of pure polygon count, AA, and other areas like character models, the previous Halo engines have left room for a little more desire.

So, what do you think? Do you think Halo: Reach will be the best looking game on the 360 when it's released?

Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

In all honesty i'm not too sure how to answer this question. My first instinct is to say possibly, it may be the best looking title of it's release time. However I have a feeling it will not be. The only reasons I say this much is because Bungie puts a lot more into their environments than their character models. Making sure everything scales and shares screen space properly. Making everything at it's highest possible visual quality can affect things like gameplay in intense situations.

The again, consider that Halo 3 is nearly two years old, and it is still one of the better looking games on the console. Their are inconsistancies however, with some charcter models, particularily the faces of Johnson, Hood, and Keyes. They certainly have the ability to do so.

One can hope, if not, Bungie fails. It better be, all i can say, or I'll be disapointed.

Dunno, Modern Warfare 2 is going to be pretty hard to beat, graphic-wise.

It is gameplay that matters, not graphics.

No. They don't emphasize on graphics (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

July 15, 2008... The day the timer stood still.

Until I actually see some legitimate visuals, I will withold my judgement.

Major C.B.

No. I think Prince of Persia had the best visual art style of any game on the 360, but in terms of pure graphical polygon count, etc, cake probably goes to Gears of War 2. Except for that the cake is a lie.

I bet the graphics will be great, but not the greatest. High graphics demand alot, and slow gameplay.

i have to agree with him
modern warfare 2 just looks amazing
i saw a still shot the other day and i seriously thought it was real people running down the street

if bungie brings back the e3 2005 trailer graphics then i think yeah we could see oen of the best looking games on the 360

i think Reach should look the best of any game to date on the 360

i want to see the stars in the background of giant ships exploding and fighting each other as chief and the rest of the spartans break the necks of elites and grunts while trying to erase data and cool -blam!- and zero g's

i want real time refelctive visors
i think reach should strive to be not only beautiful storywise or gameplay wise
but it should look beautiful graphically

the way only bungie can make it

Please, tell me you're joking. Lost Planet 2 even looks better than MW2, visually...

  • 06.18.2009 7:02 PM PDT

Man, you just a swagger jacker, now i'm a certified limburguiniest and catalaker!

According to Aaron Greenberg he says when asked about the visuals of killzone 2 and uncharted 2 on the 360 he says 'Just wait until you see halo reach'. This could be an indicator of some major visuals. you can search google to find the original post. But its got me hyped.

I just looked at the article, hopefully he is telling the truth.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

I hope it follows the ways of Halo 3 E3 2006 trailer. My friend, he's more of a Killzone 2 and MGS4 fan (basically a PS3 fan) and he kept saying it was CGI, and I had to keep saying that was the actual thing. Of course I was "proven wrong" when the final product of Halo 3 came out.

Does any actually realise that Crysis 2 is coming out on 360?

you do realize that the cryengine 2 (that crysis 2 is using) is a light version of the CE 1, made for consoles only?

cryengine one on medium settings = cryengine two on ultra high. so, cryris 2 won't look so impressive.

get infos, noob.

Agreed while true or not I do not know but over at n4g a worker posted this basically what this article says when M$'s Aaron Greenberg was asked how the 360 will answer to Sony's KZ2, and Uncharted 2. He responded to the guy by saying "wait till you see halo Reach".

Yes, becuase i have a friend from bungie working on Reach and he said the graphics are going to be amazing!

  • 07.19.2009 5:19 PM PDT

Oh dang! That man just ordered breakfast in the middle of my rap song!

Bungie's never strived to make the best-looking game on the 360, even though it does a lot of things right with graphics that other games don't (it makes textures and more muted settings look fantastic, it doesn't just add a shine to everthing). I see the trend continuing. Let the Best-Looking Game Award be given to the "photo-realistic" Call of Duty or lighting-driven Gears.
