graphics halo 4... (BF3)

hey everyone, while watching the halo 4 gameplay i thought the graphics looked really nice knowing were still in pre-alpha… but they said they would push the 360 to it’s limits and do you guys think the graphics will be as good as BF3. i know bf3 uses a lot of blur and effects to make it look better and halo is more natural… but do you think it will be jardropping?

reach’s graphics werent jardropping for me… those were a bit disapointing. so what do you guys think?

Halo 4 can look like doom for all I care so long as the frame rate is 100% solid.

I think the problem with graphical fidelity and engine capabilities blurs the line. Yeah, Reach didn’t look THAT great (specifically the spartan models in MP, I thought the covenant looked incredible and it had a great amount of detail) but the engine accomplished a lot. Where as BF3 does look great but there is a lot of draw distance and fake lens flares to make you think it looks good, as well as really crappy textures which Halo handled perfectly.

So I think what they’re doing is simplifying designs but making everything prettier. Reach had a lot of clutter on the armor, Halo 4 seems to be staying away from that, closing their maps, and probably wont be doing forge world. I think it will drop our jaws when it comes out, IMO Halo 3 still looks good outside of low res textures.

we shall see in due time my friend

you seem to be a lot more about the MP content then anything else in the game. Halo was built on campaign you know, Xbox live didn’t exist for Halo 1.

Maybe you should try to get into counter-strike or something, leave the board for a while and take a break

Well I’m hoping that those master chief pictures are in game graphics and not cutscenes, cause then it will be incredibly amazing

i think those are the in-game graphics at it’s best. and those multiplayer clips were pre-alpha stage clips… let’s just hope it is that way

im not that fussed about the graphics, reach has a real problem with frame rate and also splitscreen is horrific, distant objects textures being weird and the like, so instead of pushing the boundaries with the graphics i would prefer if they focused on keeping frame rate constant at ALL times. also on a unrelated note i hope the HUD is less cluttered this time, specifically when in splitscreen.

Has pre-Alpha been confirmed? It looked too good to be pre-Alpha IMO, but I hope I’m wrong.

Yeah Frank O’Conner said it on NeoGaf a couple of times.

Pre-Alpha = Confirmed.

Come for the Campaign, stay for the Multiplayer.

Bungies words, not mine.

I recall seeing that somewhere. Where’s it from?

Halo 4 graphics looks more -Yoink!- then the sexiest models in the world.

I’m very impressed 343 industries with the graphics :slight_smile:
