Ha, you can see master chief hiding in the background, although it's probably just to give the map a sense of scale.
This game is shaping up to be real good. Anyone know at what event Bungie is likely to show their next batch of gameplay videos?
His hair looks a lot better. Could I say... cooler?
Bungie's comment: i've never heard about BLACK before
Confirms that he's about 12 years old.
On a more related note, is this coming to xbox as well?
Fact: The single player runs on a heavily modified Unreal Engine 3.
In that case, these screens look dam impressive. Unfortunately, they're from the PC version - I'd like to see the console pics.
My 360 red ringed three times playing Mass Effect 2. It was fine though, after re-plugging in all the cords.
Graphics heavy game, apparently.
Apparently, some fanboys disagree.
Visible jaggies simply means that these aren't bullshots. Actual shots from gameplay is always a good thing.
Halo Reach will be 720p (1152 x 720, actually), with no AA. They're using effects like grain filters and motion blur to cover them up, and it works exceptionally well.
The only problem is that there seems to be frequent framerate drops.
Exclusive demos/betas.
Would you PS3 owners pay for PSN if you got a special God of War 3 demo?
Killzone 3 beta?
Resistance 3 beta?
It's not necessarily that they're not confident in their product. It's that people aren't getting to see their final product that they've been working for years to produce.
Remember those old Tom Morello leaks? That was probably terrifying, with people yelling left and right that the graphics looked terrible.
There most definitely is a PC version (they used it for demos years ago), although it's probably only half-complete now.
I doubt it's going to PC. Microsoft's recent track record shows that they want to try to hold onto their pure 360 exclusives.
Exmaple:
Gears of War 2.
Gameplay also seems to be getting a lot of upgrades:
The crosshair widens as you shoot, rewarding careful shooters who burst-fire more (personally, I think this will add a lot more depth to shooting)
Assassinations.
Abilities - sprinting is one of them.
A lot of new, sweet weapons.
And graphics-wise, I noticed a lot of motion blur, almost similar to that of Killzone 2.
May 3!
Not a single negative comment... yet.
Goddam it, servers seem to be overloaded. Download speed is so slow...
Haha, I see wat you did thar.
Heh, I never thought polygon counts made a huge difference to the overall look of the game, except in cutscenes.
The best improvement I see from the screenshots (next to AA and graphics in general):
The HUD is less intrusive. You can barely see the crosshair. AWESOME!
Lol, I see Saaking slowly losing his bubbles. His PS3 fanboy side is taking over once again.
Go battlefield!
About 13 hours into the demo.
Totally agree with corneliuscrust (take a bubble). The two versions looking IDENTICAL should be undeniable proof that both consoles performances are comparable (in theory). End all these 'MY CONSOLE IS BETTER' comments. We should start thrashing the devs for making bad looking games, not the console.
If one version looks better... Hell breaks loose.
Bungie has already confirmed that they have a brand new IP in their works, and that they've been working on it for about one and a half years so far. And that Jason Jones is in charge of it. :D
Which means it's not Marathon. :(
