> Needless to say, Halo 4 is going to be one gorgeous looking game as it is—in spite of its lack of hyperrealistic graphics. The art direction alone sells it for me, and there’s no reason to think 343 Industries won’t do the same with the forthcoming sequels regardless of the technological capabilities of next-gen hardware. If anything, we’ll see a marriage of realistic graphics with the art direction that the Halo series has long been known for.”

I found this interesting. Thoughts?

Hot damn. Looks good. Halo’s graphics likely won’t ever be the pinnacle of gaming, but I don’t think we’ll ever be seeing any more comments about Halo’s lack of good graphics anymore. Halo 4 looks gorgeous and will only look better next gen.

3

Impressive, i hope they do more.

4

Dat lighting.

5

Pretty. Just gotta wait for Halo 5-6 and this “Next-box” everyone is talking about.

Very shiny…

All that come’s to my mind when I see it is. Massive Framerate drops, Incredible online Lag, Bugs galore and little Texture glitches here and there…

It would be great for a Very High End Performance Gaming computer… But to much for a seven year old piece of hardware that was already outdated even when it was released…

All I see is different texturing and lighting. Then again, I have never been one to praise the CryEngine/Unreal Engine. Good looking, sure, but that’s all. It would be cool to see some more just to see what it’d look like, but that’s it.

Perhaps the graphics will be on par with CryEngine in Halo 5, since the Xbox 4π will have better hardware.

11

Bizzarely enough I don’t like it. It’s just too…shiny

12

That is awesome.

13

Holy damn that is nice looking. I like halo’s art theme though. It doesn’t have to be super realistic fps graphics, but hey …

“too shiny?” Your words are strange to me.

15

I’m happier with the one we have. :L

16

IS there a way to ask whoever did it to stick Master Chief in there :3

17

Looks NICE!

But the graphics aren’t what sells Halo for me, it’s the story.

18

Whoa…

God Dang that would be a nice halo game to just look at in action and i would play it a lot

Even then, It still won’t be the pinnacle of gaming, the next Xbox will end up just like the last Xbox, it comes out, with Hardware the same level as computer hardware from a year and a half ago. So even if Halo 5 and 6 have the greatest graphics on the Xbox, the graphics for PC games will be still be a lot better than Xbox Graphics.
