Where did you get that from?

No. It was a very small team at 343I who were working on Anniversary, Saber Interactive did most of the art/tech work.

Internal consistency is not the same thing as realism. Nice try, though.

Great news.
It was only the comparison to COD which had me worried in the first place.
Corrine Yu talked about it quite some time back that most developers were not using the 360's full potential and that there was still more to squeeze out.
we havent seen the game running yet (single player). maybe there are some trade-offs to make the graphics work (shitty framerate, tearing, pop-in, small levels and so on). the screens look great but they only show the chief, almost nothing else.
Worth playing? I would say 3 and Reach were. Were either better than CE overall, or worth purchasing a 360 for? Not really, in my opinion.
Yeah, but the MP looks amazing, and it seems somewhat comparable to those shots. Look like it ran fine as well.
without a covenant invasion, they have been able to massively scale back the encounter sizes.
i have no idea and am making shit up

3 and ODST were brilliant, the latter has my favorite campaign in the series (and many other people's). As to whether they are worth buying a 360 for, that's up to you. The 360 has a number of really good exclusives for by.

ODST has a great single player, and amazing music. I also loved Reach's campaign. 3 was decent. If you like some Halo play through them all.
In regards to the super clean screens, downsampling. Pretty much what everyone does.
Hopefully.

Yep. And its definitely worth it if you plan on playing co-op. I'd recommend Halo: CE anniversary as well.
Go through all of them on legendary co-op runs.

No way. I already have a 360 and if it can handle graphics like this efficiently just release it on 360!

And to show how far we've come:
Isn't what we have seen like Forza's picture mode, yes it is game engine but not really.
Best reason ever.
I recall one of the devs stating they actually took 2 days off to go back and play Halo 1 again not forgetting to mention there is a Metroid(Retro Studios) dev also on the team. Personally, I expect good things.
Also some people wanted the H4 Logo:
They said Reach was going to be old school. It wasn't. They'll tell people what they want to hear just so you'll buy it, I'll wait for impressions this time.

You know, I was thinking that possibly the perk system might be something more like power ups?
I am thinking of this because of the guy on the team that worked on the Metroid Prime games.

I dunno, just a thought.

Hm.... reminds me a lot of the spartans running down the hallway in Halo Legends: The Package.

I still hope they have a better explanation for his armor than just nanomachines.
Everything Halo 4 reminds of the package, down to the shape of the Chief's helmet.
Well... I'm not disagreeing with you but: Reach was by Bungie.
Halo 4 is made by 200+ people at 343 with various developer backgrounds and years and years of experience.

You notice the fire in the background as MC shoots? Some sort of volcanic activity or the like?

Looks more like a shaft of light, with debris falling down it.
Looks damn good.
Some things I noticed, as most people have already posted the positives.
I know everyone wanted the return of this blight.
I honestly don't know what to say here. The polycount and detail just isn't there.
Overall it is really great and a step up from Reach, but the 360 is just so old it can't push the kind of detail I want to see out of the game, and that would make it look so much better than its predecessors.

Well that and the leveling-tied unlocks, which I'm currently worried about.
I don't know why people are going nuts over this. Granted it is still early, but I haven't seen anything that looks amazing. Graphically it looks pretty close to Reach. I'm happy about the decision to build up the maps specifically for multiplayer. Reach had the worse maps of the series.

I don't know what video you were watching, but the one I saw blows Reach away. H4 is also confirmed as being native 720p and having AA, when Reach was sub-HD.
Aside from graphically, most of us are fangasming over the awesome music/sound effects, the enhanced speed, combat improvements (bye bye health-bar, BLOOM etc) and the return of dat Battle Rifle.

Pre-alpha build. Polish is what you will see near the end of devlopment. And it'll be incredible from here on out.

while that hallway isnt terrific looking, surely you have seen the rest of that map? its incredibly detailed, considerably more then condemned, from reach, which i thought looked quite detailed in its own right. the DOF isnt helping either. chalk it up to a bad shot.

All the gifs shows graphics that Reach is no where capable of doing.
God rays, depth of field, color HDR, etc, etc.
And this is all pre-alpha.

looking good so far, the BR kinda reminds me of a FAMAS(I like both guns)
is there gonna be a Mister Chief armor permutation, Frankie?

So, Reach was by the best studio on the planet. H4 is by a new studio. How can that be reassuring?

If true, a fitting swansong for this console generation.

I'm pretty sure the BR was always based on the FAMAS
though i will have to look into the god rays thing... (i'm sure it was in it... they had them in Halo 1
) but it's more of a style choice more than anything nowReach did have DOF (hell, just watch the first cutscene, i remember the DOF focus changing when Kat sticks her arm in front of noble 6)
and I'm fairly sure Reach has HDR as it was in Halo 3, I just can't remember specific instances of it as I haven't played the game in a long while.

Well if this is the best the 360 can produce, Halo 5 on the NextBox is going to looking utterly beautiful.
