Subject: Halo Reach Graphics, What To Expect?

Ok i think we should not get the hype get to our heads, by saying Halo Reach Graphic going to be awesome! Mind - Blogging! and Best Graphics Ever! As for visual Uncharted 2 has set the bar.. Do you really think it Halo Reach Surpass it? I dunno..if Bungie can pull something so damn unbelievable then maybe....but theres doubts with current xbox 360 tech & disc space. What we going to get is just a really good looking game, maybe just a bit better then Gears Of War 2 perhaps, Or who seen Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts Graphics.

We have to wait and see, but dont be dissapointed if its just a normal good looking game, theres plenty of good looking games. Halo Reach just going to be one of them maybe.

So are you expecting Uncharted 2 or Crysis ( PC ) ? I really doubt, but lets hope Reach is more then the graphics, with superb innovative campaign & MP , that revolutinises the industry, Like Halo Combat Envolved did.

Similar to the CryTek 3 Engine I believe.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Even if it looks like Halo 3 i wouldn't mind. I don't play games for their graphics.

  • 10.25.2009 11:40 AM PDT

Perception is everything.

I don't give a flip how real the game looks...as long as the graphics feel like halo.

Not CGI yet, but Cry Tek3 is damn close.

It'll probably look damn good and easily be some of the best on consoles, but honestly, who cares? I'm much more concerned about the scale they can get things on. Halo 3 went pretty big, but Reach is, given the story content, should be on a more galactic scale.

Detail and scale > textures, etc.

Fix'd, technically, the Cry Tek 2 is better than 3 as 3 is a downgraded version for consoles.

As for the whole crytek engine thing. Sure it looks good and realistic but Halo has never been about photorealistic graphics. Even if the game should have a darker feel to it, changing the whole vibrant Halo palette of colors wouldn't make the game feel as if it was Halo.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Better than the Halo 3 announcement trailer.

Actually, that's probably a damn nice goal. The announcement trailer that is, not above it.

I think people will generally be right annoyed if it doesn't have noticably better graphics than the Halo3 engine but quite honestly, i'm more worried about if we will get a nice big satisfying campaign this time

I'd be perfectly happy if Reach used the Halo1 engine, if only this time Bungie could produce a nice long and epic campaign - that really is very important

Fingers crossed Bungie are really aiming high with Reach because they need to go all out on all aspects this time

People just wont be quite as accepting regarding this game and i think a small campaign would just bring the entire wrath of it's Bungie fans

Give us the best damn Halo experience that we have all been dreaming of since Halo1

If Bungie truly does get this right, they will reclaim their godly status from back when Halo1 was the only thing really worth play.Get it wrong and i think a lot of folk may just say b0ll0cks

As for the graphics though, ODST looked gorgeous i thought anyway and lighting certainly isn't in any way a bad part of that engine

No games can do that AT THE MOMENT, but I believe, without a doubt, we'll have the most realistic-looking games sometime in the future, maybe a decade?

-I was here

the graphics will be amazing, you can count on bungie to do that for us.

Yep, although I must say, I'm satisfied with Halo 3 graphics, they just need to make it look more realistic, and rough up the look, because not everything is smooth.

what is this halo you speak of?

um halo wars had great graphics so reach will have better to

  • 10.25.2009 12:21 PM PDT

I think people also forget that Halo's battles always consist of many things happening at once.Lots of enemies and just about everything has stress damage levels in Halo3's code.Other games don't come close to how much more the combat in a Halo game has to be calculated - and it still manages to look very nice

Then there's the draw distance

I can understand people's opinion here but there is always a lot to love about Bungie art

Well, their goal was to have Halo 3 have as good as graphics as the announcement trailer, but they kinda didn't make it.

Buuuut, BETTER graphics than H3 announcement trailer? That's gonna be a feat.

No... it's not, crytek 3 is the exact same engine as crytek 2 but with some upgrades and huge scalability changes and has been optimized to run on consoles and run much more easily on non-uber PC's, the engine isn't downgraded at all.
