even halo3.... have you see the Halo3 beta, its awfull.

Warhawk spanks it in the looks department, unless theres some new halo trailer i missed.


Halo 3 looks better than Warhawk. I said even Halo 3 because Halo 3 doesn't look as good as Gears, but it still looks better then Warhawk.

If I had to compare Warhawk with other big exclusive games on both systems I would list them as follows:

Gears of War > Ratchet > Mass Effect > Uncharted > Bioshock > Lair > Halo 3 > Warhawk >

 

 

Are you seriously saying that anything looks better than uncharted, cause I've never seen anything look that good. I was watching the trailer (N.B. does include some in-game action) on a 50" HDTV yesterday and it was the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen.

Just a question, in Warhawk, is there an option to play splitscreen offline (so say have a 4 player game on a much smaller map)?

Is there any news on a European beta?

 Yes, I think it goes up to 4 players in split screen. All you have to do is get a controller plugged in (PS2>USB adaptor works, that what I have), assign it to a port and press start. However, it only works in non-ranked games that allow split screen (not that bad when you think about it). When the other player presses start, it instantly splits the screen and the new player can join the action. To quit, the player presses start and quits the game like you would normally do by yourself, just that instead of leaving the server, the player leaves and the screen adjusts itself again. 

I was able to learn how to play fairly quick, but the biggest problem right now are the crashes that really hinder prolonged gameplay, but it is a beta so I can forgive that as long as it doesn't make it's way into the final version. Also, I wouldn't recommend trying motion controls unless you make your own server to practice in because it is pretty difficult and I think you can control better and do more crazy things with the analog stick (see other planes dodge you when you get a lock on them, lol). 



5. The game looks good, better than I expected. It's not a graphical stunner like Gears of War or even Halo 3, but it definitely looks impressive.

...Halo 3. Dude I've played Warhawk beta and Halo 3 beta. If you think Halo 3's beta graphics is in anyway better than Warhawk you definiatly don't know what you're talking about when it comes to graphical looks of a game... or blind. I'm very sure your not the latter. Hey just MO but that just sounds very a little crazy.



Thanks for this list, ckmlb. A while ago someone started a thread that I thought would turn out like this, but they gave very little impressions about the game.

It's weird, though. ckmlb is giving his opinion, and his opinion is that Halo 3 looked better than Warhawk. Why are people making a fuss about it? Who cares.

The latest screens from Mass Effect in 720p look gorgeous, better than Uncharted if you ask me. Take a look here: http://xboxyde.com/news_4456_en.html

And here's one of them:

You all keep talking about games that look so good. "Nothing looks better than Uncharted". "Lair looks awesome!" "MGS4 is amazing!" Too bad the only thing you guys are seeing is pre rendered. How anyone can judge a game based on what the intro movie looks like or what a cut scene looks like is beyond me.



my friend got the beta, but from a more shady source than sony..

hahha man i loved the motion sensing in dog fights.. i unloaded 10 missiles on this one guy! bwahahah

but it does suck when controlling tanks though..

Uncharted has fantastic anamations but its not a visual showcase in terms of texures. lighting and etc. Uncharted still looks really good but its not the best visually in my opinion. Mass Effect visuaaly looks really good

Halo3 does not look better, it looks freaking awfull. Like a updated halo2.

You comparing the trailer or actual beta gameplay ?

 Gameplay. Halo 3 looks better to me graphically.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
