She looks like a naked female wearing bodypaint in that cover.

Is that really going to take away anything from the game? Anything at all?

 

[Tashi]

Which is why Resistance 3 was amazing. Just the way all that brown, yellow, and grey came together... mmmmmmm

To stay on topic a little bit: Uninterested for Halo 4. It's like the tenth season of a long running show as in there's no real rhyme or reason to it other than it just being there because it's popular.

El oh fucking el

 

[watership]

Why are people saying this wasn't surprising? Who ever said this cover would be? The only thing we got was jaw-dropping, unless I missed something.

The reveal was the the cover, the jaw dropping was the screenshots inside the issue. People just got the two confused. Hype is fun.

 

[Yo Gotti]

Lol, it looks good and has good effects, but it's blurry as shit and has just as much jaggies as any Halo game.

Backwards.

If either of those games is blurry and jaggy, it's Crysis 2.

Yea Crysis 2 is as well. They both are. I just beat R3 a few weeks and those things stood out.

You are going to tell me that 940x704 game is sharper than 1152x720?

My respect for her as a hologram.

Resistance 3 is the better looking game.

Better art style, less jagged, less blurry and it runs like butter.

Crysis 2 is a damn mess.

Great post, really insightful.

This

Is less blurry, jagged and better looking than this...

In what alternative reality is that?

The sexualization of Cortana is pretty embarrassing. I mean, she always kinda has been, but why? Why does an AI need a body at all, let alone sexual organs?

Boobs are not sexual organs, they are evolution heritage us mammals have. They probably decided to give it to Cortana so she doesn't feel left out

Worthless shot's. Cropped small, not even proper resolution. Get some direct captures at a proper resolution and try again.

Anyway, I've played and beaten both games. My opinion is: For overall image quality, R3 wins hands down. Crysis 2 360 version is blurry, jagged and just way harder on the eyes than R3.

I love these threads. Let's lighten it up a bit.

Shots are from DF, direct feed and 720p. And I already said, its physically impossible for a game with better pixel density to look blurrier and jaggier as those shots prove.

 

[Tunavi]

people still play halo?

 

[LOCK]

Excited to see where they take the story this time. Love Halo.

 

[theb0xmIke]

people still play halo?

Judging by the sales of previous iterations...of course?

Tunavi is making a funs. But he is literally quoting someone verbatim, who was not making a funs.

 

[higherARC05]

HALO 4 is simply my most anticipitated game.

Going to be so good.

Damn you, Letters...

 

[theb0xmIke]

I think he ruined your fun.

Had me in the barrel...

 

[specialguy]

Resistance 3 is a DAMN good looking game.

Far, far better than Reach and Crysis 2(on consoles).

LOL

HaloGaf, if you guys weren't in here with me I'd be slamming my head against my iPad. I do appreciate the lolz.

I would be embarrassed to have that magazine lying around my office or my home. I would be embarrassed to play it if that's what Cortana is made up to look like. Not because it's a nude female form. But because it's childish nerdbait.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Resistance 3 is the blurriest game I've ever seen and honestly the first game to make me go "so this is what they mean when they call something sub-HD". And I played a lot of sub-HD games before that.

Halo 4 is shaping up to be a technical marvel. Just the fact that they'll be running at 720p with AA is incredible. This isn't a corridor shooter. If they can pull that off with classic Halo sandbox-style environments, vehicles, tons of enemies, mass carnage, etc..., then shit.

Sounds like some personal issues.

Those are 1280x720 shots. How are they not proper res?

I agree that R3 has the better IQ, though. Blurrier, yes, but less edge and shader aliasing and less pop-up.

 

[rouken]

wow, this thread really delivered. lol.

i wonder what will be the reactions if God of War 4 will be game informers june cover?

Damn you, Letters...

what did I do now

I know a lot of nerds on game forums like to soapbox and talk about Games As Art and cry about boobs and dudebro and all that stuff, but how is Cortana embarrassing? Halo is a game about space marines fighting aliens. It's not pretending to be some high-art emotional masterpiece, it's supposed to be fun and exciting. Cortana being a sexy AI is part and parcel with Master Chief being a gravely voiced, massively framed galactic force unto himself. It's like complaining about the quality of the camera work in a gangbang porn.

Killzone is the shittiest shit that was ever shat out of a butt if you like it then that means you like SHIT!!!!

Chaos. Pure CHAOS. It is the only way when Kratos is involved.

 

[Kibbles]

I hope some people get it tomorrow and the info and scans get in the wild. I'm a subscriber but I always seem to get stuff well after it's been all over the web =|

I would even go as far to call it...

I want to push the circle in the middle of her chest. Would she turn on?

I certainly will not do this, but a part of me wants to go in the inevitable God of War IV reveal thread and say the same stupid stuff that was in here for the first few pages. But I won't. Cuz I'm classy like that.

Run like hell.

[EYEL1NER]

That's a sexy fucking cover.
Not so much because of AI tits, but because it looks cool. Can't wait to see these screens too. I'm excited but not buying into the 'jaw dropping graphics' yet.

 

[Jamesways]

lol is that real?

Penny-Arcade is sometimes hit or miss, but the Mr. Period letter's are the best!

Also, the cover is art, not the game model. Although I did notice the darker hair in the E3 teaser.
