I was looking at some top five list of water in games, and this came first, when i saw it. nearly fainted. My eyes were burning. Now wouldn't it be cool if Halo Reach looked like that? after all is said to have " Triple AAA " graphics.

That's from Crysis, which is on PC, so the 360 can't handle that.

That would make the game amazing! Lets be happy though that thats not gonna be the music......

The unreal engine is great, but not amazing, there are some pretty noticeable texture pop-ins. And I personally think that the Cryengine 3 looks better.

  • 08.31.2009 9:53 AM PDT

imagine Bungie use cryengine 3? That be awesome, but too late they probaly using a in-house engine since they were making it after Halo 3 finished.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Guild Wars 2 might top that actually, the graphics look CRAZY.

you do know the cryengine 3 is a dumbed down version of the cryengine 2, right? that's why it can run on the 360 and ps3. it's not as good.
don't believe me? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRWRskYLdno&feature=relate d

at least the unreal engine can run on any console AND look amazing...

The engine they used in Gears 1 was much better than Unreal 3's Engine when it came to graphics (did anyone else notice Gears 2 was all bright and clay-like).

yea, they added colors. it sucked! /sarcasm
the engine was vastly improved. it looks sharper, can handle more stuff on screen, have water effects, etc. so nobody noticed what you talking about since you're kinda wrong... :/

Ya I know it's dumbed down, but even when it is dumbed down it looks better than unreal engine 3, at least IMO

The Xbox 360 can't handle those graphics, unfortunately.

Tank beats everything!

Visit my youtube channel for Vehicular awesomeness!

all in all, those are some pretty high expectations.

Unreal 3 Engine is great for single player, but it's got some of the worst online host advantage currently on consoles.

If Bungie could set up a way to get dedicated servers like Section 8, then it might work, but if you thought host advantage was bad in H3, go play most every game that runs on the unreal 3 engine.

for ace

Hopefully Reach can compare to Crysis, that would be awesome.

I"ll assume you obviously know that an engine has NO impact AT ALL on the multiplayer or host advantage.

the proof?
all halo games use the same engine (each is heavily modded and improved)... and halo CE had a horrible host advantage (as "good" as in gears of wars) ... while halo 2 and halo 3 have decent hosting capacities.

plus, unreal tournament 3 doesn't have that huge host advantage you're talking about...

Well I would certainly hope the engine has some impact on the multiplayer, seeing as it's a part of it. And it does have an impact on the host connection, as it's coded in to allow people to host and generally start their own games on it.

Unless you're talking about the Halo:CE PC version for multiplayer, which isn't in itself accurate as you can easily connect to someone with a 56k as host whereas XBL requires a broadband connection and selects the fastest connection for host on Halo 2/3, I don't know how you could accurately compare multiplay with Halo 2/3. (Excluding Xbox Connect, which seemed to have a horrible connection no matter what you do)

There's a reason host advantage is so consistent on the engine, be you playing RB6:V, UT3, GOW1/2, Section 8, everything. I've worked on every publicly released version of the Unreal engines, and am a big fan of it's easy to use interface (probably why devs like it so much) but while the Unreal 3 engine is amazing technically, multiplayer almost seems like a step back from the Unreal 1 and 2 engines. And yes, Unreal Tournament 3 does have the host advantage I'm talking about, the difference between Section 8 and it, and most games is you can actually access dedicated servers on the 360.

Ninjabag the tea-pirates!

I don't want to join your group.

To me everything but the water looks good. It's like it's trying too hard to look like water or something.

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

Graphics like these on the xbox 360 = 3 flashing lights, guess what color?

it had to be said lol this reminds me of the time someone said h3 should be made for the original xbox and then someone posted a link to a .gif file of an xbox exploding!
