Why is this showing up red in my hot topics?

I own all three consoles, and have absolutely no preference or 'allegiance'.....I just buy the games that I like on each.  Simple.  I own Halo's 1-3, but passed on ODST.  Now that's out the way, here's my opinion on the trailer (which I just watched in HD on XBL):

This doesn't look like a new engine to me.   Just a polished version of a dated one.  I'm all for the potential of (possible) six-player co-op, and can't grumble at the direction Bungie seem to be taking the gameplay (provided the single player campaign - the meat and potatoes of the franchise for me - is up to scratch), but compared to other AAA titles the graphics in this trailer are serviceable rather than outstanding.  Halo 3 looked good when it was released, but it wasn't ahead of the game, as I expected from the flagship 360 game, and ODST way way behind the competition in terms of visuals, In My Opinion.  Killzone 2 looked outstanding, but the (eventually) samey visuals and routine gamplay made Halo 3 a vastly superior game.  In a world where every aspect of a game's engine are picked apart ad nauseum on forums ('Game X is only running at 640p!', 'the gargoyles in Game Y have more polygons on the PS3!', 'Halo Reach looks a bit dated!'...oh wait, that's me....), I'm just surprised that MS hasn't put more pressure on Bungie to create a sumptuous eye-fest for fanboys to brag about.  I don't want Halo to look like Uncharted 2, Modern Warfare or Gears, but I do expect it to push the envelope with it's own visual style.....I certainly don't expect the most anticipated game on 360 to look 'pretty good'. 

I'm looking forward to Halo: Reach, and something would have to go drastically wrong for me not to buy it, but the competition does seem to be leaving Bungie behind in terms of graphical clout.  When all's said and done, it's only the first trailer, and I applaud Bungie for not wasting our time with a pre-rendered cop-out, but on this evidence it's not a game that's going to make my eyeballs bleed.

 

I am gonna disagree on the graphics. Did you watch it in HD?  The graphics are great.  Lighting, textures, models, animations, have all gotten a sizable increase in quality.  I am now confident the game will look fantastic, now lets see how the gameplay comes around.

 

 

Yeah, not a noticeable leap?

And don't forget that Halo 3 Photomode adds post processing effects (Anti-Aliasing etc) and that Halo Reach screenshot is low quality ;)

Could the knife that was being sharpened be a new melee weapon?

Shiska(Bungie employee) on neoGAF said that it is not paint on the character's helmet with the skull. Wonder what it could be?

Seems carved to me.

It was a bad trailer but I didn't hat it. I just disliked it.

I know its only job is to get you hyped for Halo reach but come on some gameplay would be okay.

beautiful cutscene they show you the new BR and the spartan with the skull helmet looks badass and soundtracks just rock. also graphics are top notch. this game feels different than halo 3 it feels huge and sad i guess tahts cause of the spartans and unsc being crushed on reach

Edit: I think this game is gonna beat uncharted 2 in graphics and become graphic console king of 2010

uh, what's with the flame bait edit?


why is it a flame biat to say my opinion.

first of all thank you for calling me bright you could have also added intelligent but i think you were so amazed by my brightness that you forgut to enter intelligent.

secondly if you watched the halo 3 trailer it was same as gameplay in terms of graphics cause its using the in game engine so why would halo reach be any different.

thirdly i think in my mind halo reach will have better graphics than uncharted even before the ingame scene.

fourth killzone 2 is graphically superior to uncharted 2.

Disappointed with the lack of gameplay, but decent teaser. A huge graphical leap for certain, and the game seems to have a much darker tone than previous Halo games.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Correct, Halo 3 photomode screenshots would be equal to the Halo 3 cinematics visuals.  I thought Halo 3 looked nice already, now with Bungie gameplay and even better graphics, Reach is my top most anticipated game.  The only questio is what all did they add to the already stellar Halo feature set.
