Wow. It looks better than Mass Effect 3 on PC!
It's all over the internet.

Are you guys this naive???
It says "Xbox 720" in quotes. I really doubt that's real. They would not use "Xbox 720" in contracts because
1) If Microsoft decides their next-gen xbox to be something other than Xbox 720, Bungie wouldn't be legally obliged to make games for it.
2) It says "Xbox 720" right there as if it's the final name IN A LEGAL CONTRACT. It is not.

Back to my point, next-gen is not coming out next year. Halo 5 will be out for 360.
Alan Wake from Remedy? Love it. It may not be 720p but the lighting in that game is awesome. It really is awesome to see and a high point for the system. Again not specifically an in house production and maybe not as 'tech intensive' as Sony's in house stuff but still a brilliant looking game that showcases some dedication to the hardware can yield awesome results.
Not really... people just told you that.
halo 4 does look amazing but is NOT the best looking game on the 360, assassins creed 3 looks way better, gears 3 looks better and resident evil 6 looks like on par with it, im still amazed at assassins creed 3 tho, really a technical achievement but of course trying to convince a halo fanboy otherwise is considered criminal behavior on the internetz ....

I highly doubt Halo 5 is coming out next year.
Gears 3 in story mode has a lot of frame rate drops. Especially in the later raining levels.See, the thing you're missing is performance.
Gears 3 looks great and runs well so I would actually place that on par with Halo 3, but those other games have very serious performance problems.
AC3 runs like dogshit with framerates well under 30 fps most of the time. It's also wildly inconsistent looking to boot! It really kills any sense of polish the game may otherwise have had.
RE6 runs better than AC3 but also suffers from a poor framerate. I would argue that it is on par with Gears 3 and Halo 4 visually in a lot of ways, but again, there are some consistency issues at points and the framerate is unstable (the 360 version runs worse than the PS3 version even, which is bizarre for an MT Framework game).
When talking about "best visuals" one needs to keep performance in mind. One of the things that make the Uncharted and Killzone games so impressive is that they deliver high-end visuals at a very consistent framerate. Halo 4 does just that.
Engines are not static beasts that are resistant to change. Source was built upon GoldSrc and Half-Life 2 managed to look a generation ahead of Half-Life.
But assassin's creed 3 runs like shit on the 360 anywhere other than the frontier and when you're in combat with more than 5 enemies.
Of course not, they're most likely going to come out with some sort of expansions like they did with ODST and Reach before we even get to 5 in 2014.
I disagree on both counts. I suspect that the Nextbox will find its way to the shelves late next year*, and Halo 5, when it does release, will serve the same function as Halo 3 for the X360 -- a system-selling exclusive. As always, though, "time will tell".
* To be pedantic, the next generation kicks off later this month with the Wii U, but I assume by "next-gen" you meant the successor to the X360.
I fully expect the next part of the trilogy to be out on a system that would only make too much logical sense, XBox 3 (720). It would ensure huge sales boost for that system and a new generation of graphical upgrades means newer fans as well. Given that it's unlikely that we'll see the game before 2014, it would not make sense to put it on 360.
LoD pop-in is horrendous and the framerate is 25fps constant.
High quality SSAO is hard to do on consoles. It's almost better with no SSAO than bad SSAO.
Back to my point, next-gen is not coming out next year. Halo 5 will be out for 360.
Simple truth.
AC3 is a sandbox with alot of simulations running at the same time. I wouldn't be surprised if it is one of the most ambitious on the market now.
Halo 4 is not the best looking game this generation. There is no argument. Deal with it or don't. It is what it is.
Uhh, I'm not convinced that is the case.Skyrim is 10x more complicated and runs 10x better.
Gears 3 in story mode has a lot of frame rate drops. Especially in the later raining levels.
fixed.
Are people actually saying Gears of War 3 doesn't look good? I mean really
Then we have this joker above me saying Halo4 doesn't look good.

Halo 4 is really kind of ugly in places. The crosshatch pop in is awful, and the "amazing" lighting alternates between being overly bright and way too dark. I really don't see what all the hype is about. It's a nice looking game that runs pretty well. Hyperbole around the internets on this thing is beyond ridiculous. Not even to mention the fact that the overly linear campaign level and encounter design are total ass half of the time.
Oh really...
This thread is like something you'd see on gametrailers forums. Is every DF tech analysis thread like this one?
I know. I actually read the article.No not really. People are ignoring the article in the OP what this thread is about, it's hilarious.
Pretty much constant 30fps.

That's why I wanted to point that out. Lots of misinformation being spread around for some reason.

the mathematics in this post blow my mind. the Xbox 360 is 'nearly 8 years' old and the PS3 has 'barely reached it's 6th year'? I mean, if that isn't one of the clearest examples of cognitive dissonance I've seen on GAF, I'm not sure of what is.Let's put this in perspective: This is the pinnacle what can achieve on the 360 nearly 8 years into production with the team of the best-of-the-best MS could hire.
The PS3 has barely reached it's 6th year not to mention the "problematic" hardware to develop for and it still has games reaching its strides. Can't wait what 2013 exclusives could bring to the table
The framerate is very rarely 30fps in splitscreen, in both sd and hd.
Skyrim is 10x more complicated and runs 10x better.
I dunno, I actually think KZ3 looks really slick in direct feed shots.First of all, KZ3 looks awful in direct grabs compared to how it looks in motion, whereas UC3 holds up really well in direct grabs.
lol. Console side of games industry will crash if next-gen consoles don't come out next year.
Of course not, they're most likely going to come out with some sort of expansions like they did with ODST and Reach before we even get to 5 in 2014.
Reach was not an expansion, it was a proper sequel that was in development for almost three years. Halo 5 will definitely be on the next Xbox, although it may or may not also be released on the 360 (I'd say no, but we'll see).
People said the same thing about 2011 and this year. As long as Microsoft keeps announcing new Halo and Gears every year, they won't have any problems.
Halo 4 is the proper sequel with Master Chief. Not Halo Reach.
That doesn't mean Reach wasn't a proper installment in the series. It was as full featured, if not more so, than Halo 4.Halo 4 is the proper sequel with Master Chief. Not Halo Reach.
