Ok Im confused.

How the hell does anyone outside of Bungie even have the opportunity to take pics off sreeen anyway?

What am I missing?

And for those proudly claiming "same engine", give me a fucking break. THEY ARE STILL, BLURRY IMAGES. No, YOU cannot discern game engine from that limited information.

The best you could call the way Uncharted sold was "mediocre", so we're playing at semantics. They put millions of dollars into making it, they advertised it with commercials, and they squeezed a couple hundred thou out of its first few months at best.

Halo, by contrast, sells fifteen billion copies every millisecond and yet ODST was such a low rent effort visually that it felt as if the commercial for the game had higher production values.

I don't even think it looks like a good game period. I applaud its use of color, in contrast to many FPS, but it has abysmal character models, extremely low geometry compared to other games in the genre on the platform. It'd make sense if they lowered that detail for multiplayer, it perplexes me that it looks so bad EVEN in single player. I don't mean to be nitpicky, but the fucking wheels on the vehicles in the early level of ODST isn't even round. It's like a hectagon or some shit.

I agree, Halo could be a better looking game, however you have to take in consideration the scale of the battles that play out. No other console FPS has that scale with over a dozen enemies per encounter.

None, and it is not a point that should be argued.

I have compared the rock textures in these screens to the rocks in Uncharted 2. Uncharted 2's rocks are unquestionably more rockier than the rocks seen here. Open your eyes.

TrAcEr_x90 · Nov 5, 2009

Halo universe and Halo gameplay with something at the level of killzone 2s engine, and I'll be all over this! Can they push the 360 anymore?? Not really sure.

That said even from the blurry screens I can tell this is a different engine. The gun models alone look to have ambient occlusion.

Off-screen nature, blurriness and size of the shots obviously contribute to the "the completely new engine kinda looks like the old one" effect these are having.

Guy (who posted them on MLG), said he played it at MS. MS must be part of the testing too, as they expand their netcode testing.

Bad choice of words since a hectagon's got 100 sides, which'd be more polygons for a wheel than almost any game that isn't a racing sim. :lol

If you are seriously going to draw any conclusions about visual fidelity from a from blurry, off-screen pics of an early development build, you have issues better suited to a thread on the OT that the gaming forum.

There are a lot of interesting features on display (backpacks?), but graphics are not one of them.

Tokubetsu · Nov 5, 2009

If this is sub hd and using the same engine Im probably gonna pass. I loved ODST's story and characters/score and setting but at this point I'm sick of the "feel" of Halo 3. I was really hoping things would be different.

There's no need to pretend around here. In Xbox 360 and PS3 threads, individuals know graphics are one massive part of the game experience.

I was actually assuming you meant the seven-sided one (heptagon), but I couldn't remember the spelling either so I googled and discovered the (not) amusing mistake!

I'm not expecting high quality direct captures. I'm just wondering why these people go through the effort of capturing and not capturing well. Was he wearing a camera on his chain or something?

The addition of sprint is a big plus.

Why do people think this game is gonna use a "completely new engine"? It'll use the same thing Halo 3 and ODST used.

TrAcEr_x90 · Nov 5, 2009

I dont know, I feel majorly burned by ODST. So if there is going to be evenly a remote chance I buy this, they better step up there game with Halo...seriously.

Looks great too! Too bad its still using the same engine though .

How are you able to tell that the game is using the same graphics engine from a few blurry pictures? Let alone that Bungie has said that the engine being used for Reach is an entirely new engine.

OMG Aero said:
Well this is a bit disappointing, I was expecting something all new but it just looks like Halo 3 with better graphics.

Honestly: Do some people just enjoy concluding so much from so little?

And taken what I said from the ODST thread, I hope there is no BR in campaign. ODST has the best campaign out of all the Halo's. The removal of the BR along with the addition of the pistol, and the improvements on the traditional gameplay, went a long way.

Edit -

jett said:

And where did you hear that? Because Bungie has said otherwise.

Chromehounds. Believe it or not, SOCOM Conf in it's current state. CoD4 was a better overall performance/experience. And MAG especially does it better.

No I get that. And I appreciate games that have great and amazing graphics that just blow my mind. But I've played a lot of Halo 3. A LOT. Never have I once thought that game looks "bad" Now, I'm not a blind idiot. I know it doesn't look as good as Uncharted 2, Gears of War, or Killzone 2 but it's not a bad looking game. I guess I'm blinded by the amazing gameplay.

Mr. Negativity

Bungie has stated multiple times that it'll be a new engine. Are you seriously expecting a full-scale Halo game to use a three year old engine?
