Yep Halo 3 does a ton of light maps in the indoors areas, outdoor it looks very pretty though, but indoors when there are supposed to be spotlights the shadowing is wrong and the lighting is a bit fake, they did a nice job with their HDR implementation, I wouldn't say it's the best in the biz though.
Halo 3 lighting: Best in the biz??
- Thread starter Brandon F
- Start date
It is...it's something that makes GT5 the most realistic looking racer. They have lighting nailed to make the cars look amazing and realistic...no other racing game has quite got what PD has got.lynux3 said:
Killzone2 will redefine lighting I'm sure...but it's too far away.

Rasit flood this man with Uncharted gif's!!!
Remember uncharted is doing a jungle environment where every object and leaf produces it's own shadows...shadows that move as the leaves move in the wind.
The sunlight will also glow through leaves...skin to a certain extent (eg. fingers)...
furthermore every explosion will light up corridors, characters...characters that have accurate self-shadowing.

I just played HALO on a co-workers machine, looked fantastic, the lighting did. That being said this game takes the cake -

This one's from the UNCHARTED thread, lots of fapping over the visuals in there. Go look.McDragon said:

It really does. The way sunlight floods into the cell when the wall comes down is just incredibly natural. I've never seen a game look that convincing.

Uncharted actually looks pretty bad in terms of lighting. Very basic point effects and ambience. Make it look like video game CG from 8 years ago.
Right now I'd say Heavenly Sword, Halo 3, PGR4, Motorstorm, and Viva Pinata are the best in the business. Halo 3 has amazing character lighting and even better MLB 2K7 on 360 has the best implementation of sunlight and Global Illumination on characters I've ever seen.

If there is one thing I love with this generation, it is the freaking shaders to do water.
I could look at that shit all day and still be impressed by the XBOX/GCN level stuff.

halo 3 is the most impressive to me of anything released so far, but like any technical achievement, i'm hoping that we see games that beat it sooner rather than later.
those screens and gifs of uncharted don't do much to convince me... but then i doubt screens and gifs of halo 3's lighting would do it justice either.
uncharted looks to have some impressive shadows, and i love the colour rich look of the game (perfect for it if you ask me).
then again, the lighting in the game could be better than halo 3 and without a mode where i can pause and move the camera anywhere i want, i'd probably not really notice.
i so hope more games start using that feature. it really allows you to appreciate the work done on a games visuals, and a game like Uncharted would surely benefit from it as much as Halo 3 has.
