| Re: Graphical evolution of the Halo series. | |

In Response To: Graphical evolution of the Halo series. (Gravemind) i know what you are saying here. Many people are going to form an opinion based upon leaks (IE 'it looks like Halo 2') but in the end, I'm sure that they will wake up. The average game enthusiast seriously has no clue as to how much work and pain actually goes into the final press of any game, let alone the most talked about game perhaps in the entire history of games on any device, ever. Some of the things that are expected to NOT be in Halo3 (so I am told) are little ditties such as repeating textures (cliffs that have the same shaders even if they are 1/2 mile apart), looong boring and undetailed wall bitmaps, every bush and tree looking like they are 'model one of three, model two of three', and of course vastly improved lighting. All of these things will probably be addressed in Halo3. In the 'leaked' footage of Last Resort, which appears more like 'Zanzibar 1.5' with some additional goodies, it is safe to say that, even upon close examination of this video, we see (A) no Sun anywhere (B) a skybox that is even more boring than the original Zanzibar (obviously a placeholder), (C) many walls that appear sort of, how does one say, not too exciting and (D) Water that doesn't do Frankie's updates any justice at all. So it is very apparent, that the Bungie team is working on this project as a chain, with the 'final polish' as being the end of that chain (art and music being the most obvious). How could anyone possibly believe that the contrails, shaders and textures, lighting, effects and explosions are already done? To me, assuming that Halo3 is going to seriously look like the Last Resort footage is like watching old footage of the original 1979 Space Shuttle (piggybacked on a 747), and saying, 'yeah..Thats how all the Shuttles are going to be launched'
