Two new baddies again


Looking good huh?

The bad guys IMO look pretty poor. Hope they get better.

Well halo 2 is not out until next year! I think they look fecking brilliant now!:P

I mean the models i think look bad, not how they look graphically(not sure that's a word).

Do you mean like sharp edges and blocky?

This is hard to explain. I don't like the enemy designs. I don't know how else to explain it after this. The graphics are right on and with still a year to go I'm sure could even get better.

looks good.

the_artist you summed up my thoughts in you last paragraph. That's what I meant when I said the enemies look pretty poor (hover suits).

Yea, like artist said master chief looks incredible but everything else looks like crap. When I first saw the halo 2 video I wasnt impressed at all. The enviroments are all bland and lifeless. If you are going into enemy headquaters I want it to looks as if living creatures have been in there. They could've included some type of alien bathrooms, conference rooms, trash cans, anything that tells you living creatures been there.

Also the animation is pretty awkward. When people speak they suffer the "floppy mouth" syndrome. Thier bottom lip just moves up and down as they speak. This was acceptable in Half-Life, back in 1998 but this is a 2004 game on the xbox. I expect them to seem more like people. I dont want to see what I have already seen before.

It seems as of Halo is just recycling the same formula they've used before. This wont impress people. Things that are new and different is what gets "game of the year" awards. Not just a recylced peice of junk.

From what I've seen I've been dissapointed with.

I was'nt expecting everbody to be happy about it becuase its playstation 2 site.:roll: But the game is not out untill next year, we have seen about 2 trailers, and not proper gameplay, just scripted, im sure the models and graphics will improve.

Wow, my brother has been telling me how great it looks and getting me hyped up about it, the first first x-box I'd actually want to play! ...and this, not even in-game screenshots and there is jaggies galore, and that steering wheel, it looks like it was modeled after the Pentagon..:disturb:

GT4 and MGS3 blows this out of the water, and they are showing IN-GAME footage. Looks like that game Kin aka Killzone Sony is keeping so secretive about is sounding much more impressive, and I've only seen 2 screenshots that were bad quality and no information about it! :roll:

Looks like the only X-Box game I'm looking forward to is Fable now..:ghost:

Good Call. Everyone who is saying the graphics aren't looking good better realise this game has a ways to go. I'm positive it's going to blow anything PS2 (no offense) has out away when it's released. No I'm not an X-box fanboy I just think Halo was the most important game for X-box when it launched so I'm sure they're not going to let their fans down with the sequel.

Re: New halo 2 screen shots!
 

nice screen shots! graphics look pretty good!

I've watched the in-game demo quite a few times, now.. and, well, UT2003? Capable of better. And no worse-than-anime jerky mouth movements when it came to speech.

The only things that really impressed me was the Master Chief himself and a few of the more grand explosions such as when the Marine fighters took out that.. big..covenant..blaster..thingy. And speaking of that, was that really logical, even? I mean, that must have taken some time/effort to set up, and they were just lobbing these huge projectiles ACROSS THE STREET to hammer the building.. it looked like it was an anti-air tower but why was it smacking the building across the street from it then?

The alien design..... ..eh. Halo's aliens weren't bad, really. And the elites that crashed down around the Master Chief on that bridge? Nice.

I'm expecting this to be a solid FPS.. but nothing groundbreaking or all-too-outstanding. Hopefully there will be enough level headed critics out there not creaming their jeans over the "graphics" that this one won't waste Game of the Year spots like it's predecessor (which, though it's a great game, wasn't GOTY materiel IMO).

I think everybody's gotten past the point of having offense taken. The ps2's hardware is YEARS older than the Xbox's. It's not a matter of what is better/what each is capable of, but what games and what kind of graphical power can be wrung out of each.

Short? Xbox=graphics-centric console. If something looks bad on Microsoft's badboy, then it's a failure on the developer's part.

On the PS2 games that look as good as Xbox titles are great triumphs on the developer's part, but if the gameplay is bad then it's an even bigger failure.

Then again that's just my opinion.
