Games Other Halo

if you compare halo… let’s say reach (to be recent) to other games’s graphics like BF3 you can tell that the graphics are great in the tiniest details but the lighting is less good:

BF3 Gameplay (watch: 4:45 till 5:00)

when you are in a shadowed area you can clearly see your gun getting darker. other players in shadowed area’s look darker. it just looks real.

you see the guy walking through a cave that is really dark but his the lighting on his gun almost stays the same as it was first (compared to BF3)

so when 343 made the new halo reach maps they couldn’t do anything about that ‘‘shadow on players’’ thing really, but they used great lighting in the maps! if you look at this game

you can clearly see how vibrant the coloring of this map looks.

now when i saw th BR gameplay from Halo 4 i was amazed:

in the overall clip you can see your spartan’s shadow reflecting on your gun.
and i just think that looks amazing and it hasn’t been done in a halo game before.
(sorry if i made language mistakes, i’m dutch so…)

do you guys agree with me?
discuss…

I totaly agree with you,Halo 4 looks so amazing(the shadows,lightning and the graphics).

Lightning is something that has never been exceptional in Halo, it’s a pretty obvious point of improvement for Halo 4 as it can make the game look much better. But, it comes with a cost. I am willing to bet that the texture resolution of most objects won’t be very good, probably not even on par with Reach as more resources need to be directed towards lightning.

yeah probably, but overall i think it will look better than reach!
