Ok, for some reason I remember threads about it coming for the next gen.

I played halo just for the single player campaign!!!!! I just hope halo reach has a decent single player campaign;that's all!!!!!!!

wrong.

you've to play kz2 before stating something like this.

lighting = SuperB...one of the best in any game out there.

textures = Good...not bad, it's not in the same level as the other aspects of the game, but they're good enough.

animation = SuperB...again one of the best in any console game out there.

particles = SuperB...same.

character models = Good...like i said, not great but not bad either.

we'll see if halo reach can stand against the ps3 powerhouses.

Didn't you read my whole post? I basically agree with most your points. Textures and models are good but nothing great, animation is the strongest point IMO. It has good light souces but no HDR, and the pseudo bloom that they use looks weak. Particles are VERY low-res and blurred to allow more of them on-screen, and some of them look like sprites not actual particles. I think outside of the particles and and dust effects the game looks good at most, and it only runs at 30 fps. The AA that they use looks more like a fake softening technique. Artistically they made great choices, technically I'm not that impressed. And yes I have played it, we just disagree.

that's a bold statement, and I agree on what CGI-Quality said, though Halo:Reach could be better(from a graphic standpoint) but Heavy rain, God of War 3, and Last Guardian could pontentailly blow U2,K2, Halo: Reach, and any other graphically pleasing game out of the water. MS really does have a big fight on their hands

I have a hard time believing this statement, Uncharted 2 really. I think that it is so hard for me to believe because nothing the 360 has compares to either of those two games a lot of ground to cover in one game, but it they get it done let the competition begin again

The only thing that is kind of impressive is the animation. But that probably has more to do with the long dev time. The character models aren't anything special and the texturing is good but not better than most of the stuff out there. No particles or dust, but still looks awesome: Although, you're right, they certainly do add to the prettiness:

that fourth gif is so obviously not from Killzone 2, cause everybody knows it doesn't have good lighting.

Well Sony clearly has made it a primary focus to offer the best graphics. That doesn't mean the 360 can't offer visuals at par or even better than Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2. This generation is just getting started, we'll see both consoles pushed further.

this gen started 3 years ago.

also, i think its sad that people are trying to say 5 year old 360 game is gonna look better than 3 year old PS3
