Images Xbox 360

Bungie updated the official Halo Reach page with a whole bunch of new images and very nice looking artworks. It's important to mention that while the images are rendered with the game's engine, they may not be a good indication of the game's final image quality.

What's going on with the blue chick Spartan's right arm being so wasted? Cybertronic replacement?

Looks a whole lot like Halo 3. Kind of disappointing.

It doesn't look too hot to me AT THE MOMENT. And I doubt it'll change much by Fall...

absolutely gorgeous. If you're not seeing amazing graphics- your eyes need serious checking. And if you're seeing Halo 3 graphics- your eyes need some more serious checking. This looks far and wide a sure shit better than any screenshot ever shown for H3 OR GeOW 2. And with 7 months left to polish?? Holy Crap Crackers.... gorgeous.

I completely disagree. Halo has never looked better. The texture and model detail is a big step up from Halo3 and ODST.

Add to that, that these screens are obviously taken from the multiplayer part, which historically has always looked inferior to the story campaign.

I can't wait.

I remember when halo 3 was first shown, it looked like this. Remember Master chief walking through the desert with all the covenant ships flying over him, then the big "this is how the world ends" with the ark firing............then the game came out and it looked like ass.

Oh please, if anyone thinks that those screenshot's are in-game and will look like that once you play the game then your being very silly lol! We seen this type of hype crap from MS when they released shots of Halo 3 and look how crap that turned out to be compared to the doctored photo's......

Good enough for this console i gues. Like the map that is shown here. I think they are going much more with the multiplayer this time. The art style is the same so thats good too. On the other hand prety low detailed map but i think its is being done for the good thing higher res textures.

LMFAO!

Seriously yes it still looks like halo 3, even after you compared all those "gun" images and shit for me, but end of the day it still looks ace so you cant say it looks shit visually when... well, silent hill homecomming THATS visually shit...

But dunno i just dont get "epic" from these screens.

Also when did the jackal start looking like Stallones mum...

Looking sweet, i predict it will outsell Halo3 and get higher reviews, 2010 will get owned.

Are you sure? What makes you say that?

Also, why is the aiming reticle completely off-centre in one of the photos. Is this a wii game? (kidding, obviously, but why is it off-centre?)

This looks like a tweaked Halo3 engine, to be honest... and I'm a bit of a Halo fanboy.

I have no doubt that the game itself will have some "HOLY SH*T!" moments (like the Flood level in Halo3... wow... one of my favorite levels ever) but the general aesthetic appeal of this is not making me say wow at all. Nothing that I haven't seen before.

I'd like to add that I do like the night time screen shots... they remind me of the level on Halo:CE where you're sneaking up on the Covenant ships at night :]

This one does kinda remind me more of the first Halo, so I guess that's a good thing.

it looks better then halo 3, but only by a small amount imo. maybe they'll polish it up by release?

A step up from previous Halo games, but also still light years behind many other games. I wonder why Bungie, with all the money and resources at their disposal, are unable to match the art and tech of Gears of War 2, Uncharted 2, or Rage.

Because the chief is clearly the only spartan to wear green right ?

stop pre-rendering halo "screenshots". the final results always have no AA (example ODST).

Yes this a thousand times. Imo some parts look terrible, but you got to keep in mind that the game isn't even content ready. Have a bit of patience people, you can still trash it for its looks after it's been released, now it's kinda pointless to talk about.

Yeah it looks ok i guess, but i doubt it's a new engine like some have claimed, it's just a small step up visually from halo 3.
Considering the HUGE amounts of money bungie has made from the halo series, they should be able to develop a really powerful in house engine.
Still i am a big halo fan so more halo is always good news.
