I remember Bungie saying that they were going to start focusing more on gameplay than graphics. It will top Halo Wars gameplay graphics cuz they sucked, but it might come close with the cinematic ones.

I have not heard of Katamari Damacy. I don't play that many games, the only game I am interested in is Halo.

Than you don't deserve your xbox 360 anymore.
I never heard of Katamari Damacy either ......

Nope, Reach will definatly not have the best graphics on the 360.

Reason 1:
Bungie always uses their own graphics engine that is just not quite on par with the best graphics engines. Halo 3 engine = not as good as Unreal 3 engine.

Reason 2:
Bungie doesn't seem to care about graphics that much. All Halo's had graphics that are just good, nothing special.

Reason 3:
Halo's art style is not meant to look what most people consider the best. Forerunner and Covenant architecture is meanr to be smooth, clean and without a lot of geometry and/or details. People don't look at graphic styles, just at quality of details, from that point of view Halo looks nothing special. To me, Halo 3 for example could have hardly looked better at the time, staying with the style they used.

Personally, I don't think graphics mather to much. I want them to be good, but gameplay is most important. I rather have good gameplay than good graphics. Remember, all those old classic games you play, do you play them for the graphics or because the games are addictive thanks to good gameplay?

But weren't Halo CE's graphics best of it's time.

Lack of talent? Does that explain bungies sales records they have broken with halos. not to mention halo 1 and 2 were great graphicaly.

Pretty sure -blam!- of doody modern wankfare 2 didn't live up to it's hype either.




Games only get bigger once they hit a certain point. HCE was so big and amazing that people kept coming back for 3 games trying to find that magic again.

H2, H3 and odst are just failed experiments attempting to capture the HCE Magic. H2 had its own kind of magic about it but not quite as good but unique.

ITT, opinion impersonates fact.

It would be pretty hard to top Halo Wars. My God, that game was so beautiful.


Fail. Halo Wars cutscenes were pre-rendered.

It is going to have to be on par with Gears of War 2 and MW2

I just want them to sort out the anti-aliasing...so badly.

Is it possible that when Reach is released next year, it will have the best graphics out of any game on the Xbox 360 ever released? You would think that since Halo is Microsoft's number one game franchise, they would have all the resources necessary to make this possible. So, do you think Bungie will be able to push the 360 to it's limits, and blow games like Gears of War 2 and Modern Warfare 2 out of the water? Is it possible that Reach will have the greatest graphics out of any game ever released on the Xbox 360?!

You know what grinds my gears? people like the OP who don't know what the HELL they're talking about.

You will bleed both mentally and physically

Let's hope that's the case... I am loyal and devoted to the halo universe 100%+ ... but it seems like they're stuck in their ways with the current graphics. It's looks great, but between Halo 2 and 3, visually, it only looks as if drastic changes were made to the lighting. Yes, even the polycount were bumped up a bit, I am not referring to content or animation, just the visuals. Now what would be insane happens to be Halo Wars Pre-Render scenes as the standard graphics in the Halo games. INSANE!!!! I understand the limitations of current hardware, but hey, a man can still dream. Halo is, was and will always be #1.

Halo 3 looked fantastic, I don't know what some of you were expecting, walk around look at the detail, appreciate it. I'm sure if theater mode was in H2 and you went around and tried to take snapshots the differences would be VERY clear between 2 and 3.

Reach I'm sure will have great graphics, highly polished H3-like graphics and that is fine by me.

I don't think reach will have the best graphics on the 360, there are some pretty stunning games out now. Halo has always been about the gameplay even though it would be nice to look polished. Bungie have never disappointed with their halo games, im confident whatever happens in reach will be great.

From the look of those supposed Reach pictures, the guns look like they're way better looking graphically than the MW2 guns.

Fire.

Honestly, I could care less about that game. I don't have time to sit around and play tons of different games all day for hours. I don't even have xbox live. So excuse me for having a life. If you don't think I deserve the xbox that I bought, I would love to see your nerdy ass try to take it from me.


Why are you talking?

Why are you here again? Oh yea, because your mother couldn't keep her legs closed. Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

they know this will be their last Halo game


You can never be too sure of that, when you say Microsoft people think Halo, I highly doubt that the next xbox won't have any Halo games.


Actually, it is in fact Bungie's last Halo game. That is Bungie itself won't be making anymore, Microsoft of course won't let their flagship franchise die, which is why they created 343 Industries which will make all future halo related games.

yep....
