No they have not.

Killzone 2 was a corridor shooter with a horrible color pallete, graphics were good but those colours were asfull, arguably a good looking game.

Uncharted 2 for sure amazing looking game but nothing as good as Halo 4, i´ve played Uc3 and doesnt look this good and its a corridor "shooter", Halo 4 has huge sandboxes.

No game comes close to this, i would encourage ND or Santa Monica doing a huge sandbox world with this graphics but they wouldnt be able to achieve this graphics. Nor Forza Horizon.


You see this timmy? These are called opinions. We all have them but some people like to boldly state them as facts.

Why did he have to bring PS3 into this? Into a Halo thread of all things. The Uncharted/Killzone comparison were really unnecessary. Granted you have every right to post about whatever you like but you should know better. Also, you're kinda biased College. Just a tad bit.

Give the thread title, it's kinda inevitable comparisons will be made. Not sure why you're calling him biased though, he hasn't said anything to indicate a bias imo?

are you kidding? hes probably the most biased user on this site.



Games like these make me wonder: What good is the PS3 be more "powerful" than the Xbox 360? If you have a good architecture and a decent amount of power, that will be enough to make the high level games for the current generation. The console that is more powerful, ends up being little used and also ends up costing more and selling less. So I think that Sony lost the line and common sense. They are repeating the error with the Vita, and many fans want to see the error repeated in the PS4.



We need moar Zelda, now!

We need moar Unchartedzz!

We need less DLCs.

He can get a bit carried away sure, but nothing overtly biased from my experience and doesn't seek to twist and spin, what you see is what you get and I like that in a poster, even if they are were biased.



Sure, Crysis 2 may have been, but this year they've expanded their engine to be readily compatible with all kinds of processors, especially PS3's CELL. I'm not going to get into the PS3's processor being better, blah blah blah the point is It will beat Halo 4 on console. I've seen demos of gameplay on console. It looks better. I will say Halo 4 probably will have better multiplayer. I'm just wondering if adding the DMR, BR, AR all in one mix was a good idea. I haven't played Halo 4, but 3 was absolutely my favorite FPS game ever made.

This pic is what I took from Gran Turismo 5 earlier and this is not even in photo mode, it's on Circuit de la Sarthe 2005. Hasn't anyone noticed all the "best looking games" run at 30 FPS? Btw, GT5 runs at 60, not to confuse. All the in game Forza 4 pics I've seen are like Forza 3, kind of cartoon like. Sorry lol just fueling the fire for the Forza graphics bragging. Yes, I'm a huge Gran Turismo fanboy. Not for the graphics though, it's just a bonus. Also they screwed the Scuderia up on Forza and never fixed it... It shifts too slow and the stripes are just flat grey instead of metalliz silver that gets dark out of light.

not only clearly from the photo mode but also love that over the fence you can see just how 2d the trees are in GT5 from some angles it isn't so bad but since every tree in the game is 2 flat pictures of a tree in a X shape when you come at them from certain angles while driving it looks like someone has painted a wall in a tree design :s wonder where they pulled the polygons for the shine on the car from?

After playing Horizon i thought no game could beat that graphics, absolutely insane the level of detail in the envirnoments aswell the cars but now i´ve played Halo 4 and im absolutely in love with the graphical fidelity of this game, its unbeliavable, makes other shooters look last gen in comparison.

Turn 10 and 343 engines are out of this world, Epic Games still has a shot of beating them with Judgment but it will be close althought i wouldnt bet againt Epic, Judgment if look better than Gears 3 than it will be a graphical powerhouse.


When you put games from the 360s launch like Prey and Forza 2 next to horizons and Halo4 it is indeed insane that they are being run from the same hardware. it really shines how much as the life cycle of a console rolls on how well certain developers get at finding tricks to maximize every last Kb of ram and every mhz of power to run games that look this nice.

I hope you know that's near off the track, so those trees won't look as good. Over the fence is area of track that's not accessible. Actually the trees on GT5 look great, especially on the Nurburgring. they're not fully vegetation detail, but they're photorealistic in some places. I'll take some poorly designed photorealistic trees in massive quantities and placed in the right spots over beautiful detailed trees that are scarce and placed in random spots i.e. Forza. It's the attention to detail that counts. Also, don't you realize that I put tons of focal blur to focus on the wall and car? The trees look worse as they're blurred to focus on the car.
