Crysis 3 will be up there and probably even better, i know Crysis 2 looks mindblowing even today its one of the best looking Console Games.

I know it isn't out yet and likely will look better by the time its released, but where I live there was a gaming convention last week where they had a demo of Crysis 3 running. To me it looked good but visual fell short of the milestone set by Halo 4 by some distance.

Yeah I agree it doesnt shatter anything but I would put it at the same level as Killzone 3 and better than it in certain aspects such as lighting as I mentioned. Prior to this I had Killzone 3 as best looking FPS this gen.

Obviously theres PC titles ahead of both by a pretty big margin


^ this.  No need to argue

I'm actually very surprised at how great PGR4 looks. I've never actually played any of the PGR games, but after seeing that small clip Nsanity posted, I thought that was fake(or touched up considerably) and there was no way it looked that good. After watching some gameplay I will definitely have to pick it up.

It's an amazing game too.
The graphics were awesome at the time and still really good, though the car models are not as detailed as in newer driving games.



OT: Of the released games it's either Crysis 2, Gears 3 or Forza Horizon.

But from what we've seen Halo 4 will easily beat them.

every halo release it seems to have the best graphics, that is when you finally play it it doesnt look as good on your TV although they are all great looking games in thier own right as you have to take level size and openess into consideration, had they been corridor/linier shooters like cod/gears/kz etc the visuals could be bumped up

edit: crackdown 2 need a mention



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

Not this time. Different studio. And that new studio made it clear from the very beginning they were going to push the 360 to the breaking limit. If you have the balls to not spoil to muc of the game I wen ta viewed the first 20 mins of the game on Youtube. I have to say they have not disappointed. Its production value and crazy visuals are amazing. It will look twice that good on my HDTV as all Youtube videos do.

But the lighting and sheer scale is breathtaking. Also the detail of textures is incredible as well. Especially when you see...... O man I cant wait to talk about what Ive seen openly without spoiling the game for everyone. Its not really a spoiler, but I wont do that to anyone who doesnt want to know anything.

Well, I saw halo videos, and maybe the multiplayer doesn't look as good as the campaign or something, but when I saw mp I didn't see anything that was leagues above gears of war 3.

In fact I thought gears looked better.

Still gives me goosebumps! 

Looks even better in HD--download the demo on Xbox.

What would a Naughty Dog Xbox 360 game look like? Or a 343 Ps3 title look like?


343 consists of a lot of former Sony and Naughty Dog talent whom have been working on Halo. Notice the difference?


And every other major studio, seriously 343i has employees from everywhere. But the people responsible for Halo 4's engine are David Wu the Chief Technology Officer worked at Pseudo Interactive, and Origin Systems. And Corrinne Yu the Principal Engine Programmer/Principal Engine Architect who worked on Prey, and Brothers in Arms and Borderlands at Gearbox, was a founding member of the  Direct 3D Advisory Board (and continues to work on Direct X API), and worked with Nvidia to develop CUDA (seriously this lady is a legend, one of the most talented graphics programers in the business).

You can't give Sony credit for the Halo 4 engine, in fact none of the top engine people are from Sony studios. 

Fredrik Persson - Lead Gameplay Engineer (former Lead Programmer at Pandemic Studios)

Joe Waters - Software Development Engineer (former Lead Engineer at Monolith and Hidden Path Entertainment, Graphics/Effects Developer at FASA Studios)

Scott Parrish - Lead Creature Technical Director (former Lead Creature TD at Industrial Light and Magic, Character Pipeline TD and Cloth Technical Director at Sony Pictures Imageworks)

Brendan Wilson - Tools Developer (former Game Programmer at Koei Canada, Engineer at ATI)

And the art leads aren't from Sony ether

Kenneth Scott - Senior Art Director on Halo 4 (former Art Director at id Software)

Vic DeLeon - Lead Mission Artist on Halo 4 (former Senior Environment Artist at Bungie, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST, Halo: Reach.)

Neill Harrison - Art Manager on Halo 4 (former Art Manager at Rare Studios)

Matt Aldridge - Lead Character Artist (former Senior Character Artist at Lucasfilm, Character Artist at EA Los Angeles)

Maggie Oh - Senior Technical Artist (formerly of PIXAR)


Im not giving Sony credit for the Halo 4 engine.
