Everyone knows that GOW1 maxed out the Xbox 360.... duh!


Squil please! It's common knowledge than that game owns everything released on the 360, PC & PS3 since!

Shh! Everyone knows when you mention that game, the next mod that sees the thread goes /thread and locks it because there is nothing more to say.



Tease.

Well, the last time I was impressed by the graphics of a Halo game was Halo 2. I sure hope they'll finally catch up this time around, but I don't expect it.

In the end they'll always pick the cartoonish sci-fi path anyway, which disappoints me.

Halo, cartoonish?

Colourful and vibrant, sure, but cartoonish? Not brown and grey enough?


Yep. Prefer a bit more realism. All weapons for instance look like they're made out of fucking plastic. I obviously don't mind this when it comes to Covenant equipment though.

You want all the environments to be brown and grey as well, or is it just the weapons?



I LOVE ICELAND!

Weapons and human infrastructure, I'd say.



Sounds impressive, i think this means we should expect an annoucement for new consoles this year. its usually in these last parts of a consoles life cycle you see games that will amaze you. i know a lot of developers say this stuff, but i'm sure this game will look stunning.

however there statement can be taken negatively as well. is it really good PR to say your console's run out of horsepower; its not the same as saying we've pushed the console to its limit. saying your out of steam looks like you could be making cutbacks to the game to account for hardware shortcommings; rather than saying the game has forced the hardware into the apex of performance.

Really all the current consoles have been out of horsepower for a while now. It's just a question of using it in clever ways now (like ND with PS3).


Aww yaaaa
