Halo 3: CGI vs Gameplay Comparison

Side by side graphics comparison of the recently released Halo 3 screenshots and the CGI trailer that was released a while back. At least based on the images, the game holds up quite well in comparison.

differnet angles diffent backgrounds

this is a waste of ur life

comparing screen shots and CGI trailers

why dont you wait till the game is out then compare it to Halo2!

Hit disagree if ur a total Halo Fanatic! Few more days and we will all know the truth

Lightning Mr Bubbles6807d ago

Halo 3 is a first person shooter, if you're looking at Master Chief then it's not a real gameplay footage.

Dannagar6807d ago (Edited 6807d ago )

The game actually plays in 3rd person if you pick up certain weapons.

Hugh Hefner6807d ago

The camera in Halo 3 is detachable... so you can go into 3rd person view and take pics.

Go away. Nobody cares about your opinion.

Look at the current third / fourth gen games like Halo3 and Ninja Gaiden 2, and you can see that the xbox360 has maxed out graphically. They look pretty similar or even worse than first gen titles from the PS3 such as Motorstorm and Ninja Gaiden Sigma that's a remake port made by a branched off bunch of unimportant kids inexeperienced with the PS3. With an important title like Halo3, you'd think Microsoft would make a giant graphicall leap. But they couldn't.

Grand Turimso 5 is only the beginning for the PS3, and you can tell that no xbox360 game ever will graphically compare. It'll only get better and better, wheras the XBOX360 has had two to three years already and there has been no sign of a graphical breakthrough at all. Grand Turismo 5 is a graphical breakthrough as Motostorm. I'd argue that the xbox360 cannot do Motostorm with all it's dust and mud and particle effects and lighting and physics.

xbox360 is a 60mph car. PS3 is a 200-600 mph Lamborghinni beast. Microsoft plays dirty and changes laws and rules so that all cars faster than it must run at near 60mph so that it would be "fair" to them. They also place sneaky roadblocks and other dirty tricks along the way. But that is bad for ALL gamers. Because graphics will be capped off at 60mph instead of 600mph for this gen unless the PS3 finds a way to counter the bad people...

Microsoft has committed the crime of knowingly releasing faulty hardware to the public.

Microsoft has committed the crime of restricting all graphics power to their maximum level, which is pretty low.

Micrsofot and xbots have committed the crime of unethical business practices as you see in this room and through bribed media and secret handshakes.

All gamers suffer because of the xbox360 because all graphics are being capped off at 60mph when it should be 600mph or more this generation. We'll have to wait and see if the PS3 can outmanuever the unethical practices of their competition. You only resort to dirty tricks if you feel you cannot win fair and square.

I do not believe that this gen should be capped off at 60mph with the xbox360. ALL GAMERS SHOULD REBEL AGAINST THIS, EVEN THE XBOTS.

This is a waste of time! Its obvious Halo 3 does not live up to the CGI just like all other games!

nobizlikesnowbiz6807d ago

Secret stop spamming every Xbox360 thread with your shat.

SonySoldiers6807d ago (Edited 6807d ago )

They can't beat our trailers! That's so lame.. they should compare our trailers with theirs. Ours always win.

SECRET U ARE WRONG! Xbox is a product by the USA, so like US automobiles.. xbox doesn't deliver. Playstation is made in Japan, so it rules!

Just don't use your US cars analogy for the mighty Playstation 3! It just doesn't sound right.

reaferfore206806d ago

If you take into consideration that most american car companies have their cars manufactured in Mexico to reduce labor costs and that Japanese car companies have their cars manufactured in the US for the same reason, your analogy is kind of flawed.
IMO all games shouldn't use cgi cutscenes at all. They've reached the point where they can make the gameplay look good enough to do whatever they need to for the cutscenes in a game. The Metal Gear Solid series is a prime example. Every cutscene you see in those games are real time in engine. More games should follow in suit in this practice to get rid of these stupid CGI vs. Gameplay comparisons. Come this monday I won't care if the gameplay lives up to the CGI. I'll be too busy mowing down tards and noobs to care about petty things like this.

RadientFlux6807d ago

it seems that Bungie was telling the truth the CGI trailer was using game assets (ie 3D models). With the screen shots they use I can't tell the difference.

BUM6807d ago

I agree with you. There is a little difference.

projectile6807d ago

The spartan armor is a simple model so comparing it to CGI and ingame would yield little difference.
I think the reason it looks the way it does was because it brought good performance on the regular xbox.
What I really care about is how it plays.

reaferfore206806d ago

Yeah they do look almost alike. Can't wait!!!

jay36807d ago

There is a bit of a difference, but not really that much, the CG trailer was a more gritty.

iNcRiMiNaTi6807d ago (Edited 6807d ago )

in the CGI master chiefs armor looks like its scratched up from battle, but in the game its shiny and new like mr. clean polished master chief

Kirderf6807d ago

great comment with that picture! XD lmfao

nobizlikesnowbiz6807d ago

I think CGI looks a lot better. But thats because it's CGI. Using models and whatnot.

At least Bungie didn't claim that this was in-game footage...cough cough Killzone 2.

iNcRiMiNaTi6807d ago (Edited 6807d ago )

damn....i wanted to say that

AliC6807d ago

-- At least Bungie didn't claim that this was in-game footage...cough cough Killzone 2.

When did they say this?

As I recall the E3 2005, was a video done by Sony to show what potentially was possible with the Playstation 3 it wasn't actually running off any graphics engine and was produced the same way most CGI videos are done.

sticky doja6807d ago (Edited 6807d ago )

http://www.gameklip.net/v/1...

"Sony Computer Entertainment of America's Vice President, Jack Tretton, lies that E3 2005 Killzone footage was realtime and playable. A year later the truth is revealed on SpikeTV's Gamehead by a studio contacted by Sony to create the prerendered footage of Killzone for PS3."

Edit: Here's another one for you

http://www.gamespot.com/new...

RUMOR #1: The Killzone PlayStation 3 tech demo was prerendered.

"So how does Sony respond to the allegations? Far from being evasive, it met them head-on. "Yes, it is real time," a rep told GameSpot."

Rageaholic6807d ago

mentioned it was in game graphics,

they just showed the video and ppl assumed or pushed the issue that it was in game.

But what they did say was the game will have a similar feel like in the CGI video first shown on e3

Now going back to halo, i've been to the futureshop a few times and they were showing a video (low res though) on in game graphics and gameplay, if those are the graphics they are pretty behind gears of war.

Sangheili856807d ago

Did you not watch the Video from sticky doja? Jack Tretton says it's real time and playable. I love games as much as the next gamer ps3 or 360 but you can't stick up for Sony's Lies. They have said more lies then any company. Face it Sony thinks by telling lies to their customers they will might sale an extra ps3 or so. I personally don't listen to Sony or MS. I just play the system and see whats good.

Spinitus6807d ago

and look how awesome killzone 2 looks now. u xbots got Killzowned.

DeadIIIRed6807d ago

Bungie did claim they used the in-game engine for this trailer so...pfffffft jog on.

reaferfore206806d ago

I do seem to remember someone telling me that the cgi video for Halo was real-time. Either way, it looks close enough that I really don't care. Same with Killzone. Luckily for me I'm going to be able to play both of these games and have fun while doing so. Too bad there's so many people out there that don't think they can enjoy one or the other just because it's not on their system...

Halo 2 & 3 Campaign Remakes Allegedly In Development, Halo 7 Will Feature Multiplayer

Remakes of the campaigns featured in Xbox Game Studios' Halo 2 and Halo 3 are currently in development, according to a new rumor.

That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.

Reaper22_191d ago

So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.

Tacoboto191d ago

Complaining about Microsoft is the only thing people comment here for anymore.

This website is practically dead without it

Mmmkay190d ago

I remember when you guys constantly complained about Sony remaking and remastering games. Guess it is cool now. As usual.

thesoftware730190d ago

Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.

"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

medman186d ago (Edited 186d ago )

@thesoftware730
I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.

Travesty191d ago

So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..

monkey602191d ago

I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place

Travesty191d ago

Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.

jjb1981191d ago

I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.

crazyCoconuts191d ago

Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters

Inverno191d ago

Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.

JEECE190d ago

There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.

Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.

isarai191d ago

Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it

franwex191d ago

30% profit margins! People will pay $70+ for remakes!

Software_Lover190d ago

I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.

TheColbertinator191d ago

Can they remake Reach too with the multiplayer?

Knightofelemia191d ago

I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii852d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies852d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
