Subject: halo 3 ODST has out dated graphics

Posted by: City Static
Not exactly. After seeing the gameplay trailers, I have to say that it has amazing visuals and animations. The graphics are amazing in my opinion, and are on par with other games.


The only problem I have with the graphics are the jaggies, and the human faces. Of course, even Square Enix had to cut HDR in FFXIII in order to lower jaggie count, and Gears of War still has jaggies, but they hide them with a few tricks like increasing the resolution. Nothing you can do, but wait until the next Xbox in order to get proper HDR and good anti-aliasing. The faces on the other hand are part of the old engine. Hopefully we get better faces and facial animation in the next engine.

I really like the new city textures, and the added details to the ODST armor. Looks a whole lot better than the ODST and detail on the Master Chief in Halo 3.

Why do people keep thinking that ODST will be a new game? Its a Halo 3 expansion of sorts.

judgeing games by there graphics, is like judgeing people by there skin colour...

So if Halo 3 looked like Marathon Infinity, you'll still play it even though games like Crysis and Far Cry 2 have managed to make some of the most stunning graphics around?

You mean they're different from other games out. Not bad. Definitely not bad, just different.

Magic is magical, so are shoes... Along with plastic.
Don't forget to flush the toilet, because -blam!- stinks.

Halo 3: ODSTs engine (the improved Halo 3 engine) looks pretty good, the most notable difference is the glossy look Bungie has implemented which i really like, IMO.

GTA4 didn't have amazing graphics yet it still kicked ass. Gears of War 2 had great graphics, but it felt empty to me. I'm still trying to gather what your point is. You say the graphics aren't good, but they still look good. Halo 3: ODST's graphics still look kickass, even Halo 3's are still great.

Halo 3 ODST is using the same graphics engine used to make Halo 3 but it's not like they are pulling the graphics out of the garabage... The graphics are still great compared to other games such as Left 4 Dead which uses a different aproach in graphics with the fuzzy screen to make it like a movie....it just depends on the game and how the engine is used.

"Wow! It's like the money-shot is on MY face!"

the graphics compared to newer games are horrible, yet still good the game looks awesome and cant wait to play it,

So what's your opinion again?

Graphics are meaningless if there is no engaging gameplay or sufficiently satisfying story

Besides Bungie has never really been known for giving games the best graphics that the console can handle but mainly focus on giving graphics that are atleast pleasing to the eye.

If Halo 3 had Marathon's graphics, I'd still play the Hell out of it.

I found http://halo3.com/comic/ June 14, 2007 :)

#2 in the world for "Yuriev Time Trial" in Crackdown.

the only complaint I have about the graphics is that the characters look....cartoony. I just think they look/move wierd. (at least in the cutscene before the ODSTS drop, without helmets on)

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

“It’s their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You’re a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie’s house and curling one out in her tea-pot.”

Graphics don't make a game.

Soul calibur 4 completely revolved around graphics and multiplayer and because of it, it was an epic fail and discrace to the series.

It can be the best visual game ever and suck, or it can be the worst visually appealing and be awesome.

You're comparing Halo 3's (and ODST) graphics to other games with different engines? That's not completely fair. I have yet to see a 360 game match up to Halo 3's graphics. Play an Original Xbox game, then a 360 game that's not Halo, then move onto Halo, the graphics are amazing in comparison.

-I was here

here is the higharchy of a games traits(acording to me)

gameplay > game story > graphics. they have really good games with bad graphics but the game is really good just proving that graphics arent everything

  • 07.11.2009 9:10 PM PDT

The graphics look amazing to me. Graphics don't make the game anyway. Isn't Halo 3 still the most played game on Xbox LIVE? We can just take a visit to World of Warcraft and see how much the graphics have pulled back that game.
