Of course the lighting is fantastic, but this is a sweet example of the colors that Bungie polls off with such tastey graphics.
Gears and Killzone2 with their dark dark atmospheres get so tiresome, boring and dreary. It's awesome to see a trailer with such color and vibrancy.
Every E3 Hands-On review I read, everyone says that it the graphics are absolutely amazing.
Uncharted looks to be another game with a similar, vibrant art style. I love how Halo 3 looks, but they handle the dark stuff very nicely as well, such as the last shot of the Chief in the trailer.

That was yesterday.

More than any other game, uncharted should be compared with Halo 3. Uncharted as of now have better looking foliage, ground textures, and human models, but its levels seems really boxed in and linear, sort of like halo 2.
Yeah, I wasn't so much comparing visual fidelity than art style, but I agree. (I also noticed the same flat tree leaf layers in the new Uncharted shots that people complained about in the new Halo 3 shots - I think trees that look real from every angle just are not going to happen for a while yet.)Proelite said:
Halo 3 seems to be a good balance between fine detail and epic scope. The up close stuff in the forest is very lush, the open desert area with the Ark and Scarab simply immense (remember, the Ark is three miles accross). And we know almost nothing about what happens after we leave earth.
GhaleonEB said:
Yep, those 2 last scenes are beautiful, gorgeous stuff.
And another of its strengths is that even that they dont aim for pure realism in its style, the cohesion of the world they present is completely believable, everything fits seamlessly and that is missing in lots of other games out there.
Its a pity the trailer editing doesnt let you appreciate everything as much one would like to.

Hope they put it out today or tomorrow at the very latest or i´ll miss it untill monday.

True and its somehow excusable for those kind of games. Its worse when that "problem" is still there in games like PGR4.

Umm i thought the trailer was pretty good it looked beautiful much improved over the beta and was also very well put together, a good trailer is one which makes me want to play that game and i wanted to play it very very badly while watching it.
armubaba said:Sadly, I doubt that it's gonna happen. If they weren't gonna demo it live because of story secrecy, I doubt they'd release the demo itself.
I hope I'm wrong though.
It's not preserving any story elements presented, since the websites are reporting every second of the demo.
GIMME VID OF DEMO!

Uncharted looks to be parallax mapped, while Halo 3 is several flat polygons slapped with a flat texture. Probably won't make much of a difference when in motion.

They were dishing out a tone of content. The campaign shot and article in the SJ. Interviews. Weekly Updates. New Multiplayer screens. IRIS content. The E3 trailer. They needed to save something back for the media, especially considering E3's focus.
I just hope the media can and will pass the plate this way. I want more! More please!
People are comparing Uncharted and Halo 3 now because of the color green?
Uncharted should be compared to Tomb Raider. It's that style of game...or Stranglehold which also looked great.
There's not a lot you can really compare Halo 3 to out there. It's style and scope is what sets it aparat from all other FPS. Farcry is probably a better comparison, because of its scope and vibrant colors.

I was comparing the color scheme used - the vibrancy - which I think is similar. That's it. As a general rule I don't get into graphics comparisons, but I thought color scheme was non-controversial enough to mention. But as this is quickly going downhill, I already regret the comparison. :loljimbo said:

Surely, a Halo thread with first footage of the long-hidden Campaign should have garthered a lot more replies than this.
clean graphics, sharp textures, all the colors in the rainbow, PG13 vocabulary .....
i swear this could be a teletubbies game.
i'm 25 for god sake.
Maybe thats why kz2 impressed me a lot more. Its something for the grown ups.
And the trailer had the sentence "THAT motherf*cking convoy???!!"
it wins. Kz owns me.
this is my personal view. I'm not imposing a thing! just opinion.
enjoy the sharp colorfull rainbow game guys

I enjoyed Killzone 2 for its graphics and the whole visceral feel, but I like Halo too. Not every game needs to have a gritty color palette and grain effects, but Killzone 2 definitely overtakes Gears in that niche.
I realize you are trolling, I just wanted to reply with something coherent instead of ":lol"
If we got socked with all the media at once, then yea. But last Monday we got a ton of media on three new maps, two armor permutations and a new vehicle. Then a few days later, a new campaign screenshot (the thread for which had over 1,000 replies). Then Bungie day and the goodies it brought. I think at this point we're just happy to finally see campaign. But we're already past the trailer, we want footage from the demo! And the pocast! andtombur said:If they released the demonstration the media saw, as video format I am sure this thread would reach 100 pages, definately.
TAKE THE HINT BUNGIE, PLEASE GODDAMN JUST DO IT
MOOOOORRRRREEEEEEEEEEe :lol
But seriously. I want to see the demo.

Yes, only mature games are dark, gloomy and say ****. You've figured it out, kudos.
Seems like your a 15 year old stuck in a 25 year old's body.

That was my initial reaction, but this Halo thread is relatively free of trolling and endless bickering. Surely, emboldended Sony fans with disappointed Bungie fans would be a lethal combination with Bungie/Xbox loyalists.
Take for example the first KZ2 shot released, it's underwhelming nature guaranteed 40 pages in less than a day before additional footage from E3 took over conversations.
So, in other words, I don't buy it. Maybe everyone is on vacation? Maybe E3 as a whole is a disappointment to many?

No Colour = Grown Up Game Confirmed?spyshagg said:
I declare Echochrome the ultimate game for adults! Oh, and on the topic, people that have to play grown up games and rate a trailer because it's got strong language generally need a few more years of growing up.

I guess graphics is all you care about? According to all accounts the demo shown to the media was amazing looking graphically and either way give me great gameplay (ie Halo) anyday
sableholic said:
Well, for people watching and not playing, graphics matter more. I am 90% sure Halo 3 will be more fun (for me at the very least, since I want to finish the series which I love so much), but the whole excitement about the Killzone 2 trailer set Sony and MS fanboys into a frenzy.
edit: plus the KZ2 trailer was a lot better made than the spliced together Halo 3 one. WHY DIDN'T YOU SHOW THE DEMO BUNGIE. WHY.
