Halo: Reach shots are serious business

haloreach2

New Halo: Reach shots have been released by EB Games.

They’ve since been pulled from the retailer’s website, but All Games Beta grabbed them quick sticks.

They look awesome. The game looks awesome. We’re properly pumped for this, as you should tell by now.

It releases fall 2010 for 360.

Microsoft hopes this will be “the biggest game of 2010″ on all platforms.

Bungie’s fond farewell to the series got featured in Game Informer recently.

It got scanned immediately after hitting subs.

Anyway Uncharted 2 and Ac 2 are up for the best animation award at GDC so we will see what the experts think.

@ 100: My Mum’s a better shag than your Mum?

@ 101: AC2 might not win simply because it didn’t show enough improvement on the original AC.

Hasn’t Halo always had fairly run-of-the-mill graphics? Why are people suddenly treating it as if it’s the pinnacle of 360 graphical prowess? It’s one of the most popular games on the platform, but it’s far from the best-looking.

And Assassins Creed 2 has worse animations than Assassins Creed anyway….

I hate how he gallavants up the sides of buildings.

Actually, Halo: CE and Halo 2 were arguably the best-looking console games of all time on their respective releases, so it’s only natural people will scrutinise Halo: Reach’s GFX after Halo 3 was a bit of a disappointment on that front.

Halo 2 was probably one of the best looking games last gen and a massive change from Halo: CE. Then Halo 3 came out and… Well, yeah. Impressed no one was.

@Gheritt White: Stranger’s Wrath stamped all over Halo CE and Halo 2 in the graphics department.

I still say Halo 3 used Halo 2s engine only upscaled

You’d still have to port the engine; at which point there’s reason to just make a new one. They don’t emulate Halo 3.

Good god. Well, that proves my earlier point that people said the same thing about Halo 3 (and looking just like Halo 2).

Why then the massive sales of the Halo series?
Because the gameplay is second to none imo.

Graphics don’t make a game good gameplay does and Halo has stepped up to the plate on every occasion.

i agree with totally
but when you combine both AKA Call Of Duty (at least better graphicly than halo) you get really really good sales

I always find it funny how people slame CoD’s gameplay because its to “arcadey” yet overlook Halo which is 10 times worst.

Whatever – I brought the *only* action screenshots for Rage to the table. We’ve only seen a brief trailer and most of it has yet to be revealed. But, consider this…

Do you honestly think ID can’t out-do Guerilla in terms of GFX? I mean, really?

You think KZ2 is the best the PS3 has to offer in terms of FPS GFX?

If not, allow me to present you Rage.

If so… wow, you must *really* like your shades of grey.

Screenshot for screenshot, Rage looks better IMHO. And if you’re gonna bring up bullshots, didn’t KZ2 write the book on that?

Neogaf dosnt let you sign up with “free” e-mail accounts. Which is ridiculous.

You can see Rage in action in its QuakeCon trailer:

Those screenshots posted before are pretty much from it anyway.

Something like that.

No bullshots – they showed the game running live at QuakeCon. I believe it was the X360 build they demo’d, too, but somebody earl;ier in this thread said it was just a PC being controlled by an X360 pad and tbh, I don’t know for sure if that’s right or not.

@137 No we don’t think that KZ2 is the best ps3 has to offer…There are other titles along the way.Wait till you see GoW III ;)
But trying to prove something through pics without solid proof through videos (for the consoles and not PC)isn’t something valid and accurate.
Do you know how many times we’ve seen games been downgraded from their first official(even playable) trailers?
If you want to play it smart ass at least play it right
