First Halo 4 in game images [Up: Third New Screenshot In OP]

Reach looked great, but for those that were able to notice jaggies...it was pretty bad.

I notice jaggies on all console games because....they are all jaggy at that low low resolution.

Considering this, I don't think Reach was any worse than other games.

Some crappy photoshop, but for fun here is one comparison with that Reach shot with it's background blurred.

I'm aware, but he's lying by stating that they aren't bullshots - because they are. Who knows, maybe Halo 4 is getting some kind of PC release as well, and these are actually indicative of how it the game will actually look - but I doubt it.

I agree. It annoys me too, even. It's just that I'm so used to it now that I expect it.

Hey gaiyz remember how good Halo 2 looked?

Or Halo 3?

Remember how Bungie promised these were in-engine and this was exactly what we got in-game?

Oh wait, this is 343 so we should totally just take their word for it.

Honestly I think it's a little depressing that we expect it now, but I digress.

Less than four hours before we get a trailer that will hopefully (it won't) contain some gameplay.

Are you kidding me?

Those images were WAY before those games came out. This is a MUCH better indicator of what we will be getting considering the game is not that far away from coming out.


What is with the gaming side and Halo?

To be fair, those were in engine. They weren't lying, they were just very careful about what they said.

As someone who used to play a lot of Halo, I didn't even notice that the first one was Reach and the second one was 3. Halo 3 and Reach are extremely consistent in art style. Yes, there are minor details such as the business of armour and ODST is easier to pick out because of its colour pallet. But you sound like a crazy person when you're in complete disbelief that anyone could mistake those two images as coming from two different sequels.

And if you aren't a fan of the series..what are you even doing in this thread?

fucking what.

I didn't get the memo where people with different opinions aren't allowed to post in a discussion thread.

Yep - Those Halo Bullshots always look pretty nice, but once you play it it always looks like halo- unfortunately.

Dude all you've been doing is bitching in this thread about how the other Halo screenshots were not indicative of the final product and so we should disregard these too...

Except for the fact that this game is coming out in like 6 months (most likely), while those reveals were closer to 20 months before launch. So enough with your constant bitching and bringing up Bungie. It's getting really lame and annoying.

So it was excusable because they had no idea that the actual consoles would never produce such images at an acceptable framerate?

Gotta be fair guys, Bungie did pull a little bit of it out of their ass with H3's promo. (not that it matters though)

I never said it was excusable did I?

Personally I HATED how Bungie showed us shit too early and to see it drastically changed when the retail product hit. Again those images you posted where long before the games hit, Halo 4 is coming out soon so it is MUCH closer if not exactly what we will be seeing in the final game.

That's the very definition of supersampling.

My brain refuses to understand the bitching going on.

I'm happy for those two shots because it makes the 4hrs wait less painful but excpet the few finds about the new code piece and the finger tech we have nothing.

looking at a picture resolution tells me nothing.
343i basically just said, "yeah look at those pics, pretty, no? our game will look pretty."

My greater point is that there's a history of deception surrounding Halo reveals, and the 360 can't produce moving images of the quality shown in the OP shots.

Makes total sense.

I fucking love Halo.

In Bungie's defense, the Spartan models of the Halo 3 beta did look like the in-game versions of that in-engine MC render.

Why wouldn't it? It's healthy discussion.

Umm, someone's a little defensive I say...

Personally, I don't think it's that unreasonable for the game to look like this in game. It looks good but not THAT good.

from the pic release

I was instantly blown away with the visual improvements that 343 made to the franchise. The lightening is the biggest showcase of that with environments are brought to life with the new engine 343 have designed. The environmental improvements are highly superior to the original games.

Environments are where the goods are apparently.

Hummmm, sounds mighty good for immersion.
 
-_-

Sorry I don't think either of us have enough info to say that.

For some reason this reminds me of the Killzone 2 gameplay reveal with that infamous screenshot. I can't wait to see this thing in motion.


And you wouldn't call that deception?

It's a first-person perspective game. If you don't have a debug kit, you'll never be looking at MC from this angle, except in cutscenes. Were you deceived into thinking Halo was going third-person?

Excited for Halo 4 like we are? Halo has been apart of the Xbox success from day one. Ever since Halo 3 ended, fans have been clamoring to see Master Chief return to the series and that’s what fans are getting with this latest installment.

I got my first look at Halo 4 at the Xbox 360 Spring Showcase and as a long time fan of the series; I was instantly blown away with the visual improvements that 343 made to the franchise. The lightening is the biggest showcase of that with environments are brought to life with the new engine 343 have designed. The environmental improvements are highly superior to the original games.

Fans first got to see Master Chief return to the saga when Microsoft showcased the Halo 4 trailer at the end of their of E3 press conference. While it was instantly breathtaking for fans, long time fans brought up a number of issues. The first is a slight change in Master Chief appearance, most notably was a missing cod piece armor. While it was missing, unlike previous E3 launch trailers, that footage wasn’t in game footage built around the current Halo 4 engine that 343 is using. Thankfully, Master Chief will have everything in order when the game is released, but this is by the best rendition of Master Chief to date.

It’s been five years since we last saw Master Chief “finish the fight” and defeat the covenant. With Halo 4 beginning a new trilogy, fans of the franchise will return to the beloved franchise, but Halo 4 offers the best chance for new comers to be introduced to the franchise. The graphical paroles will be great entry point for fans to be swept up in the storm that is Halo when it eventually hits store shelves.

Who wrote this shit?

That looks like screen capturing from Halo 3 and Halo 2 reveal trailers. Why not post the first released in-game screenshots of those games, it’s sort of what this thread is about you know.
