Dude the fact that I am a junior does not mean that I just joined neogaf but please bask in your ignorance. I prefer to read rather than to comment on everything said in this forum.
Anyway my 3d comments is just for fun. I do have a right to have fun.

It's ok, we were all Juniors once.

Take that back! It's a lie! The rest of the GAF community were always members, we were never 'down at that level' and that's why we look down on these inferior beings.

Well, that's the impression I get anyway. Makes me sad.

Hmmm, if Reach uses Natal, you should be able to show your drawings to Emile and have him scratch them onto his helmet.
Suck it, Milo.

Thanks for this; reading now. It's good to hear that Bungie is really looking at Halo: CE in order recapture that magic that was in Halo: CE but not 2/3.

Also - I still don't see that "600" ammo count next to the AR. I don't think it's there.
It's there. I promise.

And who just makes fun of junior members? When you're an ultra-platinum member like me, you get to make fun of everybody.

So when does Halo Complex release? Would play.

Come back when your period is over.

You should learn that 90% of the posts in this thread are sarcastic and poke fun at others. If you have in fact been following this forum for a while like you said you have been, then you should know this. And by the way, the fact that you are a junior member does in fact mean that you just joined NeoGAF.


Back on topic, I don't see a huge improvement graphically. This is to be expected from a build that is almost a year out from release. To be honest it could look like Super Mario 64 and I wouldn't mind as long as the gameplay was good. I don't play a game for 10 years because it looks pretty. I play a game for 10 years because it feels so good.

Emile is a badass. Motherfuckin skull carved on his helmet with, I'm guessing, either eye-lasers or claws. I'm also going to assume that he kills all of the aliens and he doesn't afraid of anything. Emile is so badass that he can kill 70% of grunts by looking at them, and there are several recorded instances of Brutes and Elites commiting seppuku when he announces his presence with the earthquakes from his footfalls.

And he killed Chuck Norris. Twice.

So good. Though Super Mario World is and always will be king. Hopefully as urk jests it plays just like this 2D platformer but 3D!

:D SO GOOD

But... The contrast is really low in reach. I would like to see the contrast kicked up, the blacks dont quite look like black, just grey. Halo 3 had a phenominal ballance of contrast and brightness

Here i tweaked the levels and i think it looks much better with darker darks. I dont mean a dark game as a whole. I like halo for what it is, these pictures just look far too grey.

Here is just contrast change.

Halo has never been greyish. I hope that Grittier =/= grey

That is roughly what a standard TV will do. Gamma curves differ between TVs and monitors.
 
I disagree dilatedmuscle, the muted tone does give a gloomier atmosphere and outlook.
In another sense, the less like Halo 3 it looks, the better, we've played a brighter, more vibrant Halo, I think a slightly changed tone/look is a good thing.

We've played a lot more gray/brown shooters like Gears and COD. The colour is part of what makes Halo great.

Btw, nice pic Letters.

I do agree but grey doesnt necessarily mean gloomy. I think a thick atmosphere can create that mood but i think close up characters and objects should have more contrast like they do in real life. Greying out the foreground just makes it look like a grey filter as opposed to thick, ambient atmosphere. I guess the color can go either way, i love Halo 3 color but i know they are trying something different for reach. I guess the color can be muted a bit but the blacks/darkest darks dont need to be grey.

I was also thinking this, i can just change the settings on my tv... but that may also make the objects that are far away have too much contrast. I just want to see some tweaked atmospheric perspective then what they have in this old build... I sense we will be getting pics of the current build this week *crosses fingers* lol

The EDGE interview is actually the first I've seen of any of the game itself. It looks phenomenal.

I really hope the final product looks as good and runs as well as we hope. It would be a fitting end to the Bungie-Halo legacy to have a game look as stunning as it plays.

just saw the new pics and the environments look STUNNING.

i am a bit bummed though that it appears all the fancy lighting and shadowing techniques from the cinematic wont be in the actual game (from what i can tell).

It's been said beore, this is a pre-thanksgiving build. They have a lot longer to implement the sexy visuals. The final game will be much awesomer. High level tech is complex.

One of the big improvements is supposed to be lots more dynamic lights and shadows in-game.

I could listen to Marcus' smooth, hushed voice talk about Halo forever.
Creepiest post of HaloGAF for the day goes to Ghaleon!

To the environment pics, I really enjoy the LOD at a distance, but up close, the rocks, etc look completely the same to me. The cables running around the environments, etc, all keep the theme the same within the canon, but as far as an improvement to how it looks? They still look the same as High Ground to me. I'm only talking about specific environmental textures, not overall either.

I was using your cute avatar. I rehosted because yours is way bigger than 90 pixels wide. Change it before a mod sees it, or you can get you avatar privileges taken away, just use the one I posted, it's the correct size.
