Halo 3 graphics

To tibby its pure speculation and flame bait that GTA was delayed due to the ps3 and there are just as many stories pointing fingers at the xbox as the problem, so lets not even go there.

Read em and weep !!!!.

Analyst Michael Pachter told Web site GamesIndustry.biz that he believes Rockstar has delayed the game because it is struggling with development on the PlayStation 3.

This gent works for a securities firm Wedbush Morgan ... let's just say he has more insider info than both of us ... it is job to know these things that affect stock prices ;).

Tibby the internet is a wonderful place with a truely great wealth of information. However most of this information isnt always that truthfull and there almost always two sets on information, one for each side of the story.

I could easily find a whole bunch of links pointing to why its the xbox that might be delaying the release, dont be so quick to point fingers or you gonna be scraping the egg off your face. This topic has also been raised a number of times on this forum so it neednt happen again, simply search the site and look at the facts.

To Mr mannion, Love makes the world go round ;)
To be honest Im not entirely sure it was you that posted on COD4 being potentially better on ps3, but I do know it was someone credible, makes me feel better that you didnt rule out the possiblitiy that you said it.
 
abev ... just for you ... much love ;).

It’s NEVER gonna come out on the PS3 or the Wii.” It’s a logical decision. Nintendo’s console simply doesn’t have the graphical horsepower, and he candidly told us how the PS3 can’t handle AI nearly as well as the 360.

You will read em and weep my friend ... don't repost any rumour you read on the internets :).

Actually Microsoft PAID Take2 FITY MILLION dollars to release GTA on the Xbox at the same time as the PS3 version drops and for exclusive Xbox episodic content.

The Oct announcement is the cheap PS3 that will be selling for $399 ... a new unit is awaiting FCC certification.
 
Yeah, its only for the 2 extra episodes. Besides, all the gameplay footage has been from the X360 console thus far as well (AFAIK).
 
While it's not impossible, I find it highly unlikely. $50million buys a lot of favour, and I doubt Microsoft would contractually let them do that.

With all the info leaking, I'm pretty sure the announcement will be for the $399 PS3 40Gb.

I'm just wondering if those new 360 SKU's are going to include price cuts as well.
 
Got given the game last night as a belated birthday gift and have to say it is a great game. :)
 
As this thread started as a "Halo 3 Gfx" thread, i thought id bring it back to its base. Having heard friends says "the graphics suck", "ps3 games ie haze are soo much better graphically",

I had mixed feelings when putting in the disc for the first time last night. All i can say is wow! Sure there are a few bits and pieces that could have done with better textures/maybe sum AA, BUT...the game runs very smoothly (cant wait to try it on a 42" HD co-op :D ), the lighting is amazing (the first phantom flying over the trees made my jaw drop in awe), and i keep wasting my grenades watching the sweet physics...Hell even the loading screen looks nice :p

Well done M$ and Bungie
 
Finished the SP game last night. the game just builds as it goes along. and even though Gears Of War is a better SP game, HALO has a nice epic element to it. stunning world.
Do yourself a favour, play on HEROIC at least :) it takes longer, and you die alot more, but never gets irritating.
 
Ill be starting again co-op... might as well go legendary just 4 the fun of it :) + as many skulls as we can find
 
@nrg_wp : what u got in mind? I dont have a xbox live subscrip atm... well got that 48hrs free on xbox gold, wont help much tho :(

As my username entails, im on 3g... gotten my xbox connected once, i struggle gettin it working :confused:
 
Does anyone know how co-op team mate death works on Legendary?

In the first Halo the dead player would come back once the suriving player got to safety, and you would only return to the last checkpoint if you both died, but in Halo 2 if one of you died you both got booted back to the checkpoint.

What I would like to know which method does Halo 3 follow? (respawning makes more sense since three players would suffer if one screwed up otherwise, but I need to know)
 
Respawning,


If you have skulls and activate them you can work on different
things, like if all die normaly you go to the last checkpoint, but if you have some skulls active, you have to redo the whole mission etc.
 
Yeah, skulls can change the gameplay quite considerably. Its worth finding most of them before you try to host a coop legendary if you are aiming for a high score.
