Yes, exactly. That is why I play Halo, because it is FUN. It is extremely well made and the gameplay is polished to near perfection.
I thought the graphics in Halo 3 were pretty good anyway. The only reason I think some people were disappointed is because we were all spoiled by Gears of War's graphics at that time.
But if you look at it today Halo 3 is still better looking that a lot of shooters. I compared it to my copy of Resistance and it looks better. ...
No, I would say that it's fanboyism at its highest to say that Killzone 2 surpassed a high quality CGI render. THAT'S fanboyish. Killzone 2 looks good, but not that good.
Hell no, far from it. It looks VERY impressive so far. If the gameplay looks anywhere near as good as the trailer it will be a top tier title for graphics.
@ShineBox
No, again, you are being arrogant. Your opinion /= truth.
Firefight was only one reason out of several that ODST was a good purchase for me. The campaign, while shorter than other Halo campaigns, was still longer for me than what you are claiming and more importantly it was one of the best campaigns I have played through.
I spend $20 on a two hour movie if it's something I really like, so why wouldn't I spend $50 for a 7 hour game I really ...
@Saaking
There is some truth to what you are saying, but for the most part I disagree.
A lot of people will buy Halo Reach on day one just based on how much they liked past Halo games, but believe me, if Halo Reach turned out to suck it wouldn't sell nearly as well as previous Halo games. Moreover, it would make it harder to sell the next Halo.
This is true of any successful franchise. Take Uncharted, for example. It has now built up a pretty solid re...
It's funny when somebody says something is overhyped, because if you think about it all that really means is that THEY think it is overhyped.
I know that sounds pretty self evident, but the way some people say it makes it sound like they think it is a fact instead of just their personal opinion.
The REALITY though is that people buy Halo because they enjoy it and they think they will enjoy it more than anything else they could spend that money on. Nobody twisted my arm to ...
quadalupeupe, who's to say that your taste isn't crap? You don't get to decide for anybody but yourself.
I hate arrogant people like you who think that your taste is the final decider on what is good.
Sometimes the big blockbuster movies are great and sometimes the critically acclaimed indy movies just suck in my opinion. Same goes for games. Sometimes critically acclaimed games are to my liking (like Uncharted 2 and Halo 3) and sometimes I don't agree and I don't...
No, jalen, you are completely wrong. Both demos were very comparable in the area of graphics. Similar texture quality, lighting, etc.
And at this point in time, the Dante's Inferno demo seemed to have a steadier frame rate than the God of War 3 demo.
Quit being such a fanboy and just look at things honestly. I largely bought a PS3 for God of War 3 and I am still really excited for it, but I can't deny what my own eyes are telling me.
Oh come on DaTruth, it didn't really look that good. It really didn't. I love God of War too, but stop exaggerating.
That's your perspective. I don't agree with half of what you wrote. Sony has been known for its arrogance, you are just trying to make excuses for it because you worship Sony. Both companies have said some things that some sensitive people consider to be "arrogant" but I don't really take such comments that way. I know it is just normal PR talk that is part of doing business.
You feel that way as a predominantly PS3 fan? Imagine 'that' multiplied by a hundred and you will know what it is like to be a fan of the 360. I like both consoles, but if you like the 360 at all it is pretty hard to stomach some of the crap that gets written on this site.
You complain about this thread, yet I see very, very few actual trolls just hating on the PS3 or God of War 3. I see mostly a lot of PS3 fanboys saying how nothing can ever compare to God of War 3, PS3 fanbo...
@chubean
Coming from a rabid PS3 fanboy, your comment means nothing. The rest of the world disagrees with you.
You're joking right? Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 were specifically funded to be graphical showpieces for the PS3. Sony was on a mission to try and convince people the PS3 is more powerful.
Oh btw Halo Reach does look better than Killzone 2. So unless the graphics end up being a major downgrade from what has been shown it will end up looking better than Killzone 2.
Keep dreaming, fanboy.
It looks ok. We've seen better though.
Shazui, I looked at those first two screen shots and I can't believe you think Heavy Rain looks better. Can't you see that the textures in the Alan Wake shot are far more detailed and high resolution than the ones in the Heavy Rain screen shot? Look at the shirts and jackets on the characters to see an example of what I am talking about.
Rezenu, if you can show me where 360 gamers are actually flooding PS3 articles just to attack a PS3 game then I will agree that PS3 and 360 fanboys are the same, but I know you can't. PS3 gamers behave very differently than 360 or Wii gamers. I don't know why, but it's true.
Another thing that proves that is bullsh!t is that I play Uncharted 2 online all the time and I can't believe what a-holes many of the players are, especially if you are a higher rank and play against a lot of other higher ranks. People talk so much trash and they seem very immature. A lot of them can't seem to lose with dignity. In summary, I haven't found PSN to be any better in that regard than Xbox LIVE. Not to mention that LIVE gives you more tools to deal with such people.
You're an f-n moron, Chubear. Truly a delusional, lost, sad, pathetic, sheep. You're not a gamer, you're just some loser with a keyboard and an unhealthy hate-filled agenda. Vete a la chingada, pendejo.
Halo Reach looks great and nothing you can say changes a thing.
No, the problem is that people thought it was CGI and this is Bungie stepping in saying that it is in fact created in-engine and is representative of the quality that their new engine can produce.
Quit pretending that it isn't impressive. It's silly to deny the obvious.
