Halo CEA - Graphically disappointing?

Picture 1.

Picture 2.

I thought the game was looking amazing until I saw those screenshots. To be honest it looks incredibly mediocre. I’m actually kinda confused here, in the videos everything was looking great, but those screenshots look a lot different to what I’ve seen before.

What do you think?

You got to be joking right?

I like the different artstyle for one.

Exactly what i was thinking. In the video walkthroughs it looks fantastic and when i see the pictures there is hardly any detail in there.

Those images are 3rd person for starters, thus they aren’t in-game…

> You got to be joking right?

Nope.

Huh…?

It looks like that because they touched up the textures and very slightly the models. For some reason I actually like the way they look. You will probably only be able to actually see it like this in theater though.

Those Photo’s are from an OXM magazine. That came out 2 months ago, Before (I think) they had the build we saw in Halo Fest.

While they don’t look absolutely amazing in terms of today’s best visuals, I’d like to think they’re awesome for a remastered version of an original game. You see, the majority of remakes nowadays are just upgraded slightly with hd textures or slight enhancements (or even no enhancements at all with the exception of hd conversion), but the team over at 343i and saber interactive have really put in tons of work on the visual side. Sure, it may not be on par with halo reach or crysis 2, but it looks great for a remake.

What this guy said. Think before you act.

Wow dude. Halo:CEA is a remake using updated graphics on the original engine from what I understand. I think it looks just fine. Some people can never be satisfied. I’ve made my peace with bungie since they decided to leave us. I bear no ill will towards them and thank them for the last 10 years of the epic that is HALO. I’m grateful that 343i has picked up the franchise so it can live on. These people are passionate about this game and want only the best for it. Let’s try to be more optimistic.

Those pictures do look a bit bad but I’m sure the game is much better. Like Master Chief might not look that great but the environment will look great.

I think it looks awesome, I have been hoping they re-made this game since I got an Xbox 360, we’re all different though, but for me it looks very good.

Looks better than most other 360 games.

Well screenshots don’t really do games justice, you really have to see it in motion

Looks good to me G.

Those screen shots are pretty old. From seeing the most recent footages the graphics looks outstanding to me!

Why you ungrateful little…
