Halo 3 vs Resistance: Fall of Man Screenshot Comparison

Side by side screenshot comaparison of Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3) and Halo 3 beta (Xbox 360).

[zonetrooper5]

Please stop comparing the Halo 3 Beta to a finished game, the Halo 3 Beta that is out now and me and thousands of other people are playing is from an older build. Plus, these two games have very different art style. Compare Halo 3 and Resistance when its the final version of Halo 3 ok. This new is just flame bait, I can already tell.

[InMyOpinion]

I can't understand that people disagree with your statement.

Halo 3 is a multiplayer BETA. Do you really think Bungie would show off the final version just like that? Everyone with a brain knows they aren't that stupid. Wait and compare the single player modes of the games when the final version of Halo 3 is released instead. I'm sure it will look a lot different.

[tehcellownu]

Doesnt Beta mean that its almost done? and it still look like crap.i think the final built is goin to be improved but still wont look as good....lair look great in beta..and by the time they finish its goin to be lookin astounding..

[ER1X]

"Sony is starting to show there desperation."

So Sony posted this article??? LOL...you can either change that statement because it's complete BS or keep living in fantasy land.

[Fisher339]

You could say Halo is just a beta, but then I can say Resistance was just a launch game....

[gta_cb]

totaly agree with you

[Silver360]

It is just a Beta. The single player game looks better than the multiplayer and the multiplayer is on a different build than the Beta. Read the bungie forum people. Let it go. Just wait for Sept 25. Then you guys can flame all you want without any 360 people to defend Halo3. We will be too busy playing a great game. Later!!!!

[MADGameR]

They both look on par. The finished version of Halo 3 will look better ofcourse. And I'm not taking ANY of u fanboys sides. I'm a gamer with his own opiniond and ideals. I am an artist so I know alot about image.

[DaTrooF]

this comparison was made!!!
them ppl who made this must have been really BORED or got no life)

[closedxxx]

That's gonna be the title of the next big screenshot comparison. Should be a real nail biter!

[uxo22]

...one of the most ignorant comments I have ever read. Do you really think you made some kind of a point, and the people that agreed with you need to first try to make since of your comment.

[Eagle_CFC]

I had to wade in on this one as people's ability to go OTT about a meritless comparison is crazy.

Yes Halo 3 is a Beta. Anyone who suggests it does not look good should make it clear they are referring to it in Beta build, and it's pretty clear Bungie are planning on making it look nicer.

Sony seem to have a habit of making developers work hard to achieve anything, whereas we all know Microsoft make it very easy. Resistance was a launch title on complicated and new hardware, so to slate it also makes little sense. The developers have gone on to use their PS3 developing experience to make Rachett and Clank, and that looks incredible. The fact is a developer will need to invest more time than is granted for a launch product to ensure it looks it's best. However, it would be biased to ignore that Resistance is at least 3 times longer than say Gears, and provides an amazing 40 player death match experience and the gameplay is solid and enjoyable.

The comments about games and scores and exclusivity across the 360 and PS3 platform are also becoming reptitive. We all know 360 has more games, and so it should, seeing as it's easier to develop for and has had over a years headstart.

It's like saying PS2 had more and better games than Xbox? Since when do Sony fanboys go around boasting about that. It's like boasting about your age to younger people at school.

I had a 360 that died and I loved it and am gutted I lost it and a lot of cash in the process. So all I can say is if the 360 was more reliable and could decide what it is (is it Elite, is it hdd less, is it an inbetween, do you want online, should I buy this accessory, shall I go with the HD-DVD add on? etc) maybe the PS3 would not have sold 3 million in the last 6 months.

Bottom line is both have advantages for gamers and we've all won in the end as this 'console war' has done nothing but put great technology at our finger tips.

[BUM]

I have edited a story.

[clownfacemcgee]

In case you don't know, 4-D is real. WoW! There are 4 dimensions, length, width, height, and time. Yes, time is a dimension! Utilizing all those, all FPS's are 4-D.

You occupy one spot at one point in time, and another at another point in time. You can not occupy the same space as the wall at the same point in time. Trying is called being a noob. You first blow up the wall, then occupy that space. Resistance is 4-D, and so is Halo 3, or so I hope, I haven't played it, but Halo 2 certainly was.

So, when Sony says "4-D", maybe that's a bit too much for your fanboy brain to handle, so you can write this post on the back of your hand.

Superior polygon counts, superior lighting and texturing. I'm not sure why these comparison screenshots were put out though considering everyone knows the PS3's more powerful. I guess it was just to show that Halo isn't top dog in terms of graphics anymore.

A problem with this comparison though is that the current Beta version actually looks better than what they're showing here. Polygon-wise it's the same, but it has the dynamic lighting system which helps a lot. If someone put up a more current comparison, the graphics would be on more equal standing. Comparing Single-player to Multiplayer probably wasn't the best idea in the world either since we can't compare how much detail (or lack thereof) is going into Halo's story levels.

A video comparison would be better once Halo 3 is released since Resistance has a LOT of ambient effects, such as dust and debris constantly flying through the air, tons of AI characters, etc. And the lighting system in Halo 3 can only be appreciated in motion, especially when weapons are going off. Then again, we could just wait for the inevitable Killzone/Halo vids that are going to show up on GameTrailers.com

[rusgreim]

... I'll try to use small words.

The. Halo. 3. Beta. Is. A. Beta.

I know, wierd logic. A beta is a beta.

Its 4 months from final build. And frankly it doesn't matter if the graphics are less, the gameplay will be far superior, and they will still sell 6 million copies. End of story. Quit sniping at the game, because your little idiotic comments won't change the fact that H3 will sell more copies in 1 week than Sony has sold PS3's in a year.

[Balance]

your right with the beta halo is not top dog in graphics, that goes to another 360 game, gears of war. GOW makes resistance look like mario kart 64.

[LoveHateTragedy]

Gears has Aliasing issues, texture loading issues (seeing normal maps load in real-time was pretty sad), and doesn't really have much going on. It's a small, corridor shooter, while Resistance has enormous environments that stretch for miles. Gears has superior art direction and benefits from its gameplay in that it only has to show a small amount at a time, and it does have a better lighting system than Resistance. Resistance wins in animation, physics, AI and all that other snazzy stuff though.

[Aramis001]

I'm sorry but if you think RFOM graphics can hold a candle to GOW you seriously need to get your eyes checked.

[dominusbellum]

you sir are an iddiot where is gears mentioned this is a halo 3(beta) and a R:Fall of man comparison nice try though and i'm going to have to aggree w/ the man w/ the kenny avatar rfom can't touch gears

[gta_cb]

omg you killed kenny!... you B@STARD!

[rusgreim]

I lost a bubble. I guess PS3 WHORES can't handles someone pointing out the truth and feel the sick need to sh!t all over anyone who doesn't want their system.

[techie]

I haven't seen either in person. So no comment. (but i like colour :P)

[ITR]

I agree and it's still in Beta.

[sak500]

From whatever I've seen of H3 in terms of maps and graphics, its just souped up H2. The level are almost of same design as H1 and H2. Mountains and few buildings thrown in. Why couldn't they put in proper buildings and made some city levels? Bunch of regurgitated maps with some shiney wax put on it and given as H3.

However in terms of gameplay H3 might kik RFOM's a$$. I've seen gameplay vids of RFOM and it looks like the person is floating and weapon reloading is the fastest i've seen. Play Battlefield and see how its done properly. YOu can die just cause of delay in reload.

Edit:

Deep "I think I just like life to be more colourful, and UK really isn't that dreary :( today was amazing. "

Well visit Dubai, its sunny 350 days with a few showers (if we are lucky) in a year.

What exactly are you not agreeing on? I know most PS3 games have muted colors and not as vibrant as 360 games. But level/maps wise H3 looks quite bland in comparison to most FPS out there since last 5 years.

[techie]

you serious sak?

I hear resistance is a very good game, looks amazing as well, just was a bit inconsistent. It also has some of the best breaking glass rendering ever in a game...so much so that it has filtered as the new standard through the industry. And with 4xAA...no jaggies to be seen. Anywho...

I think I just like life to be more colourful, and UK really isn't that dreary :( today was amazing.

[Torch]

I'm a sucker for colour just as well (which is specifically why I'm just itching for Ratchet and Clank)...there indeed is a generally noticably gray/desaturated overtone throughout Resistance.

But as you'll likely eventually learn (if you don't already know) when watching the unlocked bonus videos upon completing the game, Insomniac deliberately aimed for a morbid overtone, to help add to the story's sense of dread and futility.

Personally, it works quite well. There are a number of levels (primarily of indoor setting) that have plenty helpings of colour and saturation.

In my opinion, the game is just absolutely gorgeous. What gets me is the incredible attention to detail Insomniac's put into the environment (as evident in a number of the above screenshots.) Also most impressive is how often all Hell just suddenly breaks loose around you; dozens of things are going around you simultaneously, without even a hiccup in framerate.

The game's environment makes other FPS's just feel relatively simple and empty, as far as I'm concerned.

[Odion]

character models, metal, explosions and weapons go to halo, enviroments go to RFOM

[bobbybrown]

sorry dude, the weapons of resistance are some of the best ever created, they win by far in that domain. Character models are also better in resistance and yeah environnements

[ReconHope]

at least the art styles are pretty similar unlike Resistance and Gears of War comparisions. Now that was stupid.

[THE_JUDGE]

What's the point of this? Oh yea there is none.

[USMChardcharger]

? and why are they comparing these two games?

[Marceles]

They might as well compare Gears of War to Halo 3 as well. Resistence looks really good though on this comparison..

[timmyp53]

... this comparison has some potential for tos of hits im talking in the 1000's?

[Stinkey]

the copied the Backlash Grenade with that stupid Bubble and the HEdgeholg with that spike grenade thing the got. even that pad that you drop and sends you flying intot the air is copied

[The BS Police]

Oh thats right you have to accuse Halo, sure Halo borrows from other Sci fi games, movies novels (they also borrow from the Bible)... but they make it look original in the end.

Ressistance itself copies Halo and other franchises so I wouldn't go around saying Halo copies other games when everyother game copies off of Halo.

Hell, every game copies something from movies and games.

Those who disagree do not know anything about the movie, music or video game industries at all.

[Leathersoup]

U peepel r ahl copizing wulvenstienz. Geht your're oan vidio gayme shzenre.

Don't worry. I'm not actually that illiterate. I'm just trying to make a point about how stupid all this arguing makes people look.

[Odion]

also lets do a fairer comparison.

MP Resistance to MP Halo

Halo 3 singple player will look better cause you can have more bells and whistles.

[Kratosnake]

all there is to it is that people like looking at pictures and comparing, its sort of like a game in a way... a mini visual game. Is it stupid? sure... is it gonna stop? hell...no.

meanwhile, the world is moving forward.

[hydrog]

Resistance games played = 400,000 SINCE LAUNCH.
Halo 3 BETA games played = 400,000+ DAILY.

pwned.

[Tonberry]

You have to much bubbles

[hydrog]

360's sold to date = 10,814,170
PS3's sold to date = 3,133,013

Pwned, again.

[Edwin1989]

if we're going to talk numbers here:

10.800.000/17 months = 0,63 million consoles/month

3.100.000/4.7 months (6 USA, 6 Japan, 2 Europe) = 0,66 million consoles/month

http://hydrog.justgotowned....

[pilotpistolpete]

Adjusting for 6 months since release as opposed to 18:

360: 10,814,170
extrapolated ps3: 9,399,039

Not so much pwned!!!

See, anyone can come up with figures out of their asses to help their cause!

EDIT: ah, you beat me to it Edwin1989. Hahaha hilarious!

[caffman]

You have waaaay to much time on your hands but got to admit.......funny as f*ck
Xbox360 still ownes PS3 though ;-)

[Expy]

Kind of stupid considering one's a BETA and the other is a FINAL game. Also, one is a first-generation game, and the other is well into the 2nd generation.

[Chemical]

gaming experience.

RFOM was good for a while. Then i got bored.
Everyon is still crazy about the Beta though

[pilotpistolpete]

eum....Didn't the beta just come out less than a week ago?

[Kratosnake]

no no... the beta has been out longer than RFOM, didn't you know? hehe.

way to compare boredom, Chemical.

[Adriokor]

Finished Resitance
Played halo 1 1/2 of the way
Halo 2 played 1/3 till I got really bored and stopped.

[rbanke]

I'd say its hard to compare mostly due to the different styles, halo is colorful and resistance is dirty 'saving private ryan' esque. both look good to me.

[Sashy]

It would be a perfect to compare Killzone 2 and Halo 3. Its just that Sony will show Killzone 2 at E3. We will just have to wait.

[The BS Police]

They are two completely diffirent types of shooters, the fact is comparing Killzone to Halo is what makes Killzone look bad.

The creators of Killzone have even said that they do not like Killzone being dubbed a Halo killer.

[jeanm3306]

i have a feeling killzone 2 will look better!!

[WilliamRLBaker]

this isn't new its been done before, Its not news a blog is comparing pictures.

It seems more like a flame bait article then any thing, As for that i agree with deep halo 3 looks better.

[power of Green]

Lets wait untill the game releases before any more comparisons. At least Halo's gettig all the hype it needs due to being popular and a threat.

(((PureGamer))) i wish you would shut your fangirl ass up. Anyways the Bunjie has already said they're going to improve the graphics as of now and are working on matching the visuals to the Halo 3 announcment. You do know that right?, its a beta and i doubt the single player mode will look like anything you've seen thus far. Please dont breed.

[drtysouf21]

but i prefer the dark gritty look in Gears of War and Resistance Fall of Man it seems more real. But i will still rent and play Halo 3.

[JPomper]

What is the point of this? Screen comparisons of two different games?

[fenderputty]

These are sooo stupid. They're not even the same gen of games. Halo is late second gen and resistance is a launch title. Different art directions. One's in single player mode. The other is MP. Halo is a Beta. I mean other then being FPS, there's really no other reason to compare. This is like comparing resistance with Crysis or comparing Halo one and Halo two.

More flame material. People are even doing the whole Gears thing again here. Gears isn't even a FPS. It's a small environment TPS. If it didn't look better, there would be some major issues to consider.

[Violater]

The comparison isn't stupid It did exactly what the person who put it together intended.
To get you guys Talking/Flaming

[WilliamRLBaker]

which is why we call it flame bait...

[Killer B]

Why approve this sort of "news"? It's pointless.

[Xi]

wheres the super mario to mario paper comparison?

[Cartesian3D]

Halo is beta.. and Resistance is lunch title.... anyway both looks ok...Halo better lighting .. R:FoM more polygons and better environment ..

I love R:FoM cuz of innovation .. and LOve Halo1 cuz of that.. BUt I dont like XXXXX 2 or blah blah 4 without enough innovation...

[SlaughterMeister]

...lunch title..

[m000b1]

Chracter models, weapons goes to RFOM.

Halo 3 gets the enviroment. Those saying its beta, it wont change drastically you do know that right?

Also why even post this shyte news story.

[fenderputty]

There's really no other reason to post this.

[WilliamRLBaker]

I have seen many games come out of beta looking nothing like the beta version, many things can change this is a simple fact.

[OneBubbleBastard]

RESISTANCE A LAUNCH TITLE KICKS THE SH*T OUT OF HALO 3 HAHAHAHA

ok back to normal... Is really sad to see THE MOST HYPED game in history looking so sh*tty compared to a launch title.. shame BUNGIE SHAMEEEE..

commonn don't give me this BETA wait till is finished bullsh*t again.. The only reason they are saying so much is BETA is cause they need time to think what the hell went wrong this time and how in the HELL their game is coming out so crappy...

SORRY xbots, but CRAPO 3 is just following the crappy trend that is customary of the series and M$..

deal with it 360 and HALO = crappy system and crappy series..

@ ODION BELOW ME POST #30

WHEN your teammates get killed so fast and you get runed over is not good AI, is just that YOU SUCK..

@ hydrog
of course it probably will cause like i said before you xbots are blindly raped everyday and are going to buy CRAPO 3 and say is the BEST GAME EVER OHHH MY GODDDD MOM COME SEE THIS IS AWESOMEEE!! no matter how crappy it is.. and trust me is crappy crappy :) cheers

[hydrog]

Yea, that's why it will be the best selling console title of ALL TIME.

Nubtart.

[Extra Guy]

Dude you game is up, that's what you should have posted to have your bubbles taken away. Not ask for people to give negative feedback. Talk about slow on the uptake.

[Vip3r]

Who cares?

[Odion]

anyone who says RFOM had better AI then Gears is on crack and never played the game.

Trust me put it on hardcore or Insane and watch as you are helplessly box in, your squad mates are gun down and they just run you over

[Boink]

I can't believe this crap got approved.

new insrtuctions for approving news.

step 1: remove head from @ss
step 2: carefully review the submitted piece
step 3: set aside stupid fanboy personal opinions to view with an open mind
step 4: approve only quality news/articles/pics/vids/etc...

save us tons of wasted space on this site.

[AtlREMF311]

but I ran out of toilet paper so I had to use paper mario to wipe my @ss ;)jk

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

What’s really f**cked up is many parts of the Halo beta still looks better and it’s a beta! Man there is nothing sadder in this world than a Sony fan. Guess what Sony fans your system is a piece of sh!t Beta-Ray player, you guys need to get over the fact that you have a teeny weeny penis this round. You f**king Fony fans sink to new lows everyday on this site, you deserve every bit of the worthless forced Blu-Ray, lack of memory outdated GPU mailbox shaped PS3 with no games but poor working ports waiting forever (masturbate B3yond) no rumble crap ass system. When are you guys going to get a clue? the guy who made the piece of sh!t PS3 got fired and you don’t fire people for good work only bad. I sure am glad I have the 360 and a PS2 and soon Wii because the PS3 is a freaking joke Dreamcast3DOAtarijaguarPS3.

[Premonition]

Nice going there. *Reported*

[Chemical]

I hate you with a passion.

I just bought a PS3 and you just said all of that.
really ticks me off. especially when you said masterbate B3yond.

I gotta admit.

I still am waiting for games.
i dunno..
i just thought PS3 would live up to what sony has said

I was not too pleased with RFOM. although I like the weapons selection.

I just dont like how you bash the PS3 so much

[Antan]

Oohh, touchy!

[Tonberry]

Since you don't have more bubbles to lose, you need to get banned

[hfaze]

Now that wouldn't be anything like comparing Gran Turismo HD CONCEPT to Forza 2, would it? ;-) I believe that the blame on things like this go BOTH ways...

Wow... the amount of anger in that post makes me think that you're some pathetic 14 year old kid... And if you're actually older than that... That's TRULY sad...

[sak500]

Nice one Jason. Bubbles for you. How did you find the prototype pics of PS3?

[Premonition]

Anybody who has played resistance knows that Halo 3 will not one up it in the snow department, I mean that snow in resistance was basically CG. Man those were the days :(, I just got my HD monitor yesturday so im gonna check back in one story line where they have snow.

[Rooted_Dust]

The only drastic difference I see is color. Every thing is brighter and more shiny in Halo3. Most of it just comes down to art direction. Where Resistance depicts a bleak, dark, post-apocalyptic alien invasion and Halo 3 is a high fantasy Sci-fi epic where you would expect diversity and lots of color. Personally game-play wise these games are about equal. Halo may have the edge story wise, but I do like the mystery woven into Resistance's story. I have no doubt which will sell better though.

[zonetrooper5]

A game can't change, graphically, alot in four months. Just because its a Beta does not mean the graphics won't change from the beta because thats a stupid thing to say. Every game which is in Beta form won't look as good as when its the final version, yes it may be stupid of me pointing this out but come people really have no idea what the hell they are talking about.

[Cartesian3D]

I must say Halo looks better.. and its beta.. and for sure Resistance2 will look better than Halo3...and Halo 4 will look better than Resistance2 but...

Halo character models in beta sux but its beta and for MULTIPLAYER .. nad dynamic lighting make games looks so much better (and SELFSHADOWING) like Assasin Creed ..

anyway Resistance looks very good as a lunch title , with streaming texture and better lighting it will looks better ..

hope to see better news..

[AbyssGravelord]

COME ON PEOPLE!!! This is Risistance Single Player Full Game against Halo 3 MULTIPLAYER BETA!!!!<-------- and Halo 3 still looks better I have to say whoever compared this is a complete Dumb A$$

[Tonberry]

You have to much bubbles

Below:
Thank you, here is some aid *elixer*

[Kratosnake]

yo bubble decreaser, i don't know why, but i picture you with a little Swiss accent... its very funny what you do: "too much bubble". I like that. Keep that goin. hehe.

[Lacarious]

very.... H3 and RFM are two COMPLETELY different games. If you want to compare RFM to a current 360 game... compare it to that new demo blacksite or blackops or whatever the hell that midway game is.

[SimmoUK]

but a beta is a good representation of what the final game will look like, beta is the stage for bug fixes and a few lighting issues that's about it, seriously Halo 3 won't improve i'm sorry to brake it to the 360 fans but it's not going to look much better at all period, yes it looks bad...

At first the 360 camp was saying "halo 3 is going to blow everything out of the water graphically" now it's changed to "but but the gameplay's really good it's halo"...

Seriously i know this is only N4G but there should be other people here with a developer preference that knows after beta it's mostly just bug issues...

[Antan]

Yes Simmo, this is true for the most part, though "certain" gfx additions can make it in time for gold status, nothing in the way of "adding better textures" for example. Usually music/fx/dialogue/cinematics are still in implementation stages Also beta is used mainly for bug fixing and general tweeking. People don`t realise packaging, disc duplication processes need to be aranged well in advance also. Don`t expect miracles from anything after something hits beta (without a delay of course!).

[spacetoilet]

This is not a good comparison. Halo always had great graphics and I'm sure Bungie will pull it out for the third one. But right now, you have to admit it, the Beta looks like a higher res more polished Halo 2. But Bungie are not stupid enough to release all the finished textures and shaders this early. This is a very important launch for them and Ms so I think the whole look will improve allot come release.
Having said that. Resistance looks pretty decent considering its been out a while and had a shorter development/budget. Unreal will blow both of them away if you ask me. It just remains to be seen if Unreal will run smooth all the time.

[ERommel]

Look man, this is stupid.
Comparing Resistance and Halo 3 is ok.
Comparing Resitance and Gears is not the swiftest thing a person can do.
Halo 3 is a beta true. A beta on hardware that is well known. Resistance is a final version on hardware that was not well known at the time. Not a true comparison but fairer then comparing Gears on year old hardware at the time to Resistance on new hardware. Either way both look cool and since I have played Resistance I would say playing Halo3 is something I would probably do. I will admit I am not a big Halo 1 and 2 fan but not to say I won't give 3 a try. Great days to be gamers boys.

[Booneral]

I love these modern-nerds. They have nothing to do but sit down and start flame wars. Pretty sad, starting with the person whoever did this comparison in the first place. I enjoyed reading those who seriously commented about this subject too, it's funnier than anything I see on the TV.

Man, I hope we will see comparisons between Resistance 3 and Gears of War 5 soon. Till someone learns the meaning of "beta" that'd be a better piece of crap.

[Maddens Raiders]

with # 35 Rooted_Dust. These games are stylistically light years apart. A Super sci-fi - Stargate-ish - other world shooter vs. a Mad Max ridden - Aliens - quasi - Vietnam shooter. Please let's not go off the deep end here folks. Resistance was a launch title and H3 is in Beta. IMHO both games are fun as hell to play. Everone take a deep breath and relax. Halo 3 should sell better - if it doesn't something is wrong. The better comparison will be H3 vs. KILLZONE. That's the main event.

[AbyssGravelord]

H3 vs Killzone 2 or

Gears of War 2 vs KillZone 2

[SimmoUK]

Agreed now Halo 3 to Killzone 2/3 whatever your name preference is a good comparison, both sides have had time with the system then, can't wait for that one :)

[Premonition]

I forgot all about that, ya a better vs will be Killzone 2 and Halo 3, for some reason I think Killzone will have the graphics, since sony is showing this as their power house game and what the PS3 can do and not to mention the amount of money going into this game alone 20million. So E3 we shall see whats up.

[weekapaugh]

Who the f*ck cares!!!!!!!!!!

[AbyssGravelord]

Weak has a point, I may be a 360 fanboy but still Who Gives a **** play the games that you want and stop ****ing being little nerds and complaining about which one's better.

[God of Gaming]

How about we get some good shots of Halo 3.... like the ones I have attached... (taken with a camera)

[AbyssGravelord]

Those are way better representing H3 than the other ones that were posted!!!

[WafflesID]

You know what this proves? That downscaled over-compressed images LOOK LIKE MONKEY SPUNK. Forget any comparisons...these pics look like crap

WTF is the purpose of this article? seriously? anyone?

[PS360WII]

Halo beta is for the online portion. The graphics are just that. H1 and H2 quality.

The thing that is silly is that the screens are comparing Resistance single campaign vs. Halo multiplayer. Very different and not a good comparison

[IQUITN4G]

Have to say that even though it's clear GOW has been crowned best graphics on 360 , they don't totally bowl me over.Certainly nothing on the PS3 has either mind.I enjoyed playing GOW though it is a little cheesy - i guess that is just epic for you.The textures detail is crazy and maybe that's why it's hailed as being so amazing but the unreal engine while very nice ,just isn't built for huge draw distance +many foe's.Halo has a unique style and this coupled with the Halo3 engine , means we should be pleased to see loads going all around us and a far greater sense of scale than ever before in a Halo game.For me this will be far more exciting and graphically impressive than the super textures and generally confined spaces that are GOW.

As for these pictures , just down to what style you like as there really isn't a huge bettering from either of them.

[SlaughterMeister]

Holy sweet hell, are these people retarded?

THAT IS A BETA! Compare the Halo 3 pics to the original I8 (Resistance) E3'05 video, where the dude didn't actually throw grenades, they just launched out of his chest.

Resistance looks awesome, I want a PS3 so I can play this game BAD.

But Halo 3 looks like it will be amazing too. Halo has by far the best multiplayer I have ever seen, amazing controls, great gameplay. Sure Halo 2 was disappointing compared to the hype, and the ending sucked, but it was still a damn good game. If Halo 2 was an original title, everyone would've creamed in their pants.

Why do we do this? It's not like one is a rip off of the other (compare Saints Row to GTAIV) and it's not like if you were to play one title at a friends house, when you get home the other title won't love you anymore.

They're GAMES! Just play the damn things, and if you don't like one or the other, DON'T PLAY IT!

[SimmoUK]

the point where you was implying resistance was beta at E3 05, it was far far from it, any developer can tell you that beta stage is for mostly just fixing bugs and a few lighting issues that's it, halo 3 won't magically turn into a really good looking game now it's to far in it's cycle...

Anyway i do agree with you that resistance looks good with really good draw distance and alot happening on the screen at one time, most of all it's a fun game to play...

[capmmegee]

People, finished verses not finished. Not only that its the fact that bungie scaled down the graphics because of the download size. Once again we are playing a beta that was made 3 months ago. Do the math.It is very simple logic it's just that fanboys get so damn wraped up in bashing a game that they can't think beyond their own opinions and refuse to grasp basic ideas. The game isn't done, the only thing that we have seen from halo 3 is a toned down, unfinished, beta. Once the game is done then you can compair it to a finshed product, but please refrain from doing so until that time comes.

[Saint Sony]

What is this sh!t trying to prove? Halo 3 will stil be a great Halo game, final and best part of the trilogy. Even if the BETA looks as bad as Resistance, it is still going to rock!

[MoonDust]

Then compare. This should be titled: Halo 3 Beta Vs. RFOM

[DeadlyFire]

Halo 3's beta has the final build for the graphics I am 99% sure of that and honestly the game looks good. I have played numerous PC Betas and know that they contain the final build for the graphics and that there is no way to change the graphics this late in the development process so stop saying there is a way to do so.

The comparison makes sense. In my opinion I believe Resistance does look better. I agree that the art direction for both games are completely different, but still I think Halo 3 could of looked better. I don't believe that MS cared much about graphics for Halo 3, but I am still happy with them. As long as the gameplay is good I don't care. For the most part the graphics are great either way.

[Xi]

the betas that you're playing for other games, aren't betas for the engine and graphics but for balance issues, mostly on mmos. The beta for halo isn't the final build of the game.

[Saint Sony]

First, it is only multiplayer beta.
Second, some of the multiplayer beta images show text "delta build".

Graphics might be there what comes to textures, but loads of other fx stuff is still missing. I hope they would change most of the textures too, but hey it's halo, it is playable even with just pure AO pass without any textures.

[DeadlyFire]

"aren't betas for the engine and graphics but for balance issues"
A beta is a Beta there is no difference in them. Betas are basically the demo before the game where everything is set with a few minor issues to be fixed or patched before the game is released. The graphics don't look bad they look great and complete in the beta so really I don't see why you say this is a different type of beta there is only one type of beta wether its on PC or consoles.

[sonarus]

True or not. The devs already said the graphics arent their main focus. Regardless am not saying halo 3 won't be a great game am sure they will pull out something from under their sleeve at the last minute but i honestly believe the graphics in this beta are close to if not the same as it will be in the final build. Like the other guy said it is to late in the game. If they pushed the release date back then we can begin to speculate otherwise but as of now those are the graphics for halo. The sooner we all accept it the less likely we are to be dissapointed

[THC PRITCHARD]

Halo is Starship troopers

Fall of man is a bit like halo

Tell me this What game made the first bubble shield?

I see it in halo 3 now hm

Rfol is very good for online and off

u should dread what fall of man 2 will look like

[Xi]

I'm pretty sure the bubble shield was in development for halo3 before rfom had released any details about it. That's like saying metroid's powerup ability on her arm cannon is a copy of the halo plasma pistol.

[Red]

Sue Storm?

Magneto ?

[XxZxX]

through my 6 year of software engineer experience from different corporation, public beta means 100% code complete. However it does not completely ruled out additional feature upgrade is coming. Let's just sit and hope and do the comparison later.

[Omega Kaze]

This comparison is so pointless I think we should start a new topic. Possibly about neon coloured animals like cats or ostriches. Or the possibility of an alien (yes only one)coming to give us a plastic, yet stylish hair piece for the entire human race to wear at extravagant weddings and become the new fad for the 21st century but for it only to be mocked and laughed at in the year 2786.

[TheWishman]

What i find hilarious is how this compares Resistance online pictures to screens from Halo 3 that aren't even in game pictures that are rendered to look better.

hahahaha

Either way, they are two totally different games and if Halo 3 doesn't look better then a game made for launch by a company that makes Ratchet and Clank---than Halo 3 is a failure

[cdawson]

Halo 3 is a beta, complain when the finished product looks like junk, which it won't because MS or Bungie would never allow it. This beta run is simply for testing to see if people like the gameplay.
I have played Resistance many times, it's COD3 with aliens. It's nice, but it's not Gears that's for sure.

[THC PRITCHARD]

lets wait for Halo 3 Vs Killzone beta Or Haze Now

[OC_MurphysLaw]

First off.... I don't think you should ever try and compare screenshots of a Beta build vs one of a final build. The premise itself is flawed coming out of the shoot! Certainly I would agree with many on here that the Beta build of H3 graphically may not get enhanced much more than it is...but there is still a TON of time for that to happen....so it could and its just not fair to try and compare at this stage.

That out of the way...I think the Beta build compares quite favorably to RFOM. H3 is just more pleasing to the eye in my opinion that RFOM. Don't get me wrong...RFOM is a nice looking game too...but on a whole I like the look of H3 better. This is my opinion...not fact,etc.

Lastly I want to point out one thing. I could be wrong...but the screen shots of RFOM look to be that of the single player game and not from their mulitplayer. Please let me know if I am wrong on that, but certainly doesn't look like its a mulitplayer game that they are grabbing the screen shots from. Being that is the case (again I could be wrong), we again are comparing apples to oranges. Mulitplayer games almost ALWAYS will take some graphical hits in order to allow mulitplayer play.

So....lets compare final builds of the single player H3 to RFOM's single player when H3 comes out...and then we can debate what looks better, etc.

[sak500]

I would like to see a comparison done between Halo 3 and GTHD.

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

WOW looks like a PS3 launch title pwned Halo 3, MS biggest game lol looks like Killzone 2 will murder it haha

[soccerstar]

It has still been in developement for over 3 years now and thats a heck of a lot longer than resistance but who cares they are both fun games to play

[DixieNormS]

To be at par with Call of Duty 2. Nuff said. I haven't played Halo 3 yet. Its on my wishlist. But I have played RFOM and besided the draw distance and weapons. I didn't see anything different than what was on CoD 2. Because if you have played both CoD2 and RFOM you can see what I'm talking about when it comes to gameplay and the firefights.

[big_tim]

It might seem like a fair comparison for RFOM and COD2 or 3, but I would disagree that they are as similar as you say. I have both RFOM and Call of Duty2 and 3 (on XBOX 360) They may share the FPS genre but they are very different.

RFOM plays like a sci-fi game where as COD play as a historical game. Even in multiplayer they have different strategies, paqces and an overall feel.

Now, I had a different approach. I played through COD2 and 3 and even GEARS before I touched RFOM. I can say that resistance has huge amounts of action going on at any given moment more then the others. COD3 would be the closest, but it still doesn't have as much going on. That is the biggest difference. And to top it off the gameplay for Resistance is faster then the others making it feel more sci-fi like.

I am not saying I dislike one or the other. I have enjoyed them all. Also, I am impressed with the gameplay of Halo 3. I will definitely get the final version even if the graphics aren't GEARS quality.

[tk]

R:FOM was a 1st gen title. Halo3 is beta. Compare Killzone 2 and Halo3 when both are released. Even if R:FOM "wins" this screen shot comparison, Halo 3 should improve a lot in the optimization in the last 4 months. Killzone 2 is its natural competitor, even if they differ somewhat.

This comparison is pointless. A finished game vs Beta. Come on. I don't like MS and XB360, but can we just wait until the title is released before we start comparing?

When the PS3 hits its stride, the XB360 titles will start falling behind in graphics and content. But not just yet in the first year. If so, the XB360 is in big trouble.

Hope Halo3 comes out good for the XB360 fans though. I liked the first Killzone, but what I really really want is The Getaway.Hope they have more of London this time.

[chrno6]

Halo is not about grahpic lol?? when halo 1 came out, the xbox fans were crazy about the grahpic. What pure bull.

[xfrgtr]

Damn! Resistance wins this hands down! and its just a first gen title!

[omansteveo]

This is unbelievable

[progx]

Comparing a launch game to a beta? Don't even try to justify this bullsh*t article, its just sad...

@anyone who brings up lair= geezus krist stfu!, its getting old. lair=flop

@lovehatetragedy= LOL resistance better than gears of war? OK SIR NOW YOUR JUST IN DENIAL..

[candystop]

This is a stupid comparison but if I had to choose which one looks better I would have to give it to the H3 beta in all areas! It just looks more realistic and since Bungie always adds flare to there visuals during the final months I have know doubt that graphically it's going to improve a lot!

[M1am1U]

Let's do a taste test between apples and oranges. Come on, is this really what it has come down to? RFOM is a great game. Halo 3 final build is going to be a great game. There's just no sense trying to compare the two games, other than the fact that they're both FPS. If you're going to compare anything, compare ports. Everyone needs to relax and enjoy the fact that we're in the middle of a really great time for gaming.

[FirstknighT]

A beta vs a final product. Real nice. But again Halo is not about graphics. It's about the best gameplay around. And Halos gameplay crushes resistances gameplay.

[sumfood4u]

If your going to compare these two Do it on Sept. 25th! Than well see the Winner!

[IvIoss]

how many people love to hae halo just because it's halo. hurry up guys the bandwagon is coming

[nosmok]

>>your right with the beta halo is not top dog in graphics, that goes to another 360 game, gears of war. GOW makes resistance look like mario kart 64.

Had to laugh my a$$ of at that. Nice one 
I have all 3 new consoles and GOW leaves Resistance standing literally. Resistance looks good but not as good as Gears of War but game play wise Resistance feels like a first gen ps2 game. Its so hollow. There’s no emotion, spark and no attachment to the ‘sadly lacking in personality characters
Compared with 'Cole Train'.. What an Hero

[BIadestarX]

This must be the worst comparison I every seem in my life. Halo is not meant to look like Resistance or Gears. Hell, I woudn't want it to look like any of those games. Some games are designed to look in a certain why... I hope some of you can understand that. Would you like Mario to look like Gears?

[solidt12]

It's obvious that all games look better on PS3(except gears of wars)

[PS360PCROCKS]

Lol this is such a funny comparison not only is this a finished game set against a unfinished beta but Halo is a unique art style it's not made to look realistic or like real life. Your all a bunch of sorry sad losers. Your all saying 'gameplay, gameplay, gameplay' but than all you do is bicker all day about graphics between systems and games. Get a life geesh. And to anyone who has a brain and has played the beta I like the graphics I think their actually quite cool. It's very colorful and vibrant and I like how the trees leaves like fall off and stuff, lookin all peaceful and stuff.

[solidt12]

All you saying HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics!

You Sound like little girls. Just admit that Resistance looks better and will look better than the final product. Just Imagine how Resistance two will look it the first game(a launch title at that) looks better.

HALO is Not about Graphics! HALO is Not about Graphics!

HALO is Not about Graphics!
HALO is Not about Graphics!

HALO is Not about Graphics!

HALO is Not about Graphics!
HALO is Not about Graphics!

HALO is Not about Graphics!

[toughNAME]

remember when sony fanboys were calling Killzone a 'Halo Killer'?
remember what happened?
all this talk about comparing Killzone2 and Halo3....u fanboys r jus setting yourselves up AGAIN

[ApocalypseShadow]

there's no excuse that a game coming out 2 years later is not looking better than a launch title.i thought games would pull away and outdo ps3 each time year in year out?

now the excuses are flying:"forza 2 is only a demo!" "halo3 is only a beta!" the excuses are increasing every time we see a new 360 game.why the excuses?isn't the ATI card powerful?

now it's:"halo3 was always about gameplay.""forza2 has car damage(poor car damage).""look at the physics."look at these screens:

http://www.threespeech.com/...
http://www.oitobits.net/wp-...

the cars look outstanding.now look at this:

http://screenshots.teamxbox...

not bad but they just still look like video game cars.

if i were to look at a car in gt hd showroom,it would look like a real car.even on the track.forza 2 on or off the track look like video game cars.

this is not halo3:

http://xbox360.qj.net/uploa...

this is:

http://screenshots.teamxbox...

how about them apples?you graphics whores from xbox one are now getting your bubbles burst.

[ngg12345]

THis is complete and utter flamebait, that has no purpose but to own the rival fanboy faction at n4g.com. But I did find funny how much the xbox 360 fans cried about this and stated how halo 3 isn't about graphics but about gameplay. Please play Counter Strike if you think this way.

[solidt12]

@toughNAME -

I don't know much about Killzone but I heard it was hyped up before launch as being better than Halo. The difference this time is Resistance is out, I beat it and HALO 2, and Played Halo 3 beta for three hours and can say that by experience Resistance is much better. Halo is the first great FPS on a console and that why it is thought Highly of and deserves that. By I LIke RESISTANCE ALOT BETTER online and offline. Gears of Wars is also way better than Halo # so to me it is the One to Beat. Gears Single Player is Number 1. Resistance is number 2. Halo, Well ther have been several FPS games that are better since Halo 2(it is dated and needs a major make over)

[HaKeRsCanRotINHEL]

all others should pay their respects! But, vvvvvv

... any game the lets me take my mind off the monotony of real life is AAA in my book, be it FPS-RTS-RPG-ect...ect... :)

[iceice123]

I really doubt anything in Halo is unique. It has so many copied things from so many other games/stories. Hell even the Halo isn't theirs idea. Nor is gravemind, it's just the overmind from SC, they even gave him the exact same motive...

"Halo is the first great FPS on a console"

You forgot about goldeneye -_-

[Auron]

this is the dumbest thing ever! they are comparing a finished game single player at that. to a multiplayer beta! anyways I know Ima get flamed for this but the gameplay is there in Halo 3 beta fun as hell Resistance not so much

[00]

A finished game vs a beta....Thats some logic.

[Lex Luthor]

Dumbest article ever? Does the words BETA mean anything to you?

[soccerstar]

BUT THE GAME HAS BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT LONGER THAN RESISTANCE IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER ITS A BETA OR NOT THERE IS ABSOLUTLY NO EXCUSE BUT THE GAMES ARE ABOUT GAMEPLAY NOT GRAPHICS AND THATS WHERE HALO 3 WINS IN MY OPINION

[PS360PCROCKS]

I guess I gotta say it again...your all SO DUMB...holy sh8t this is such a stupid article...'Bwahahaha Halo 3 looks like sh8t' heres one for you 'bwahahaha it'll still sell 6 million copies, be the number one game on live, number 1-2 selling game over christmas, Atleast 1-2 in yearly sales, win tons of awards and be in top 5 for GOTY.' Yes please continue telling me how bad it looks because it's obviously going to fuc8ing matter.

[FeralPhoenix]

First of all like many have already said Halo3 is NOT finished, also this is the multiplayer portion but other than those reasons why not compare them?, their both shooters, and yes the style/art direction is different, but why is that an "OMG reason" that they shouldn't be compared? -So I would say its a "flawed" comparison but RELAX its just a comparison, it does not change the fact that Halo3 Beta is kickin @ss online already and I'm sure that the final product will be even better.

As far as the comparison pics go I didn't take anybody's word for it, I looked at all the pic's myself and the Halo3 "Beta" pics looked pretty good, of course I think they need a little work especially the environments but I think the charachter models looked better than the ones in Resistance.

[sonarus]

Ahhh the best way to leave this alone is to just accept resistance gameplay graphics looks better than halo screenshot. The best thing you can do is go over to bungie and start signing petitions to push the halo 3 game play back 2 display something a lot more impressive than this. Beta or not. Unless this beta is a yr old the graphics arent going to get much better

[Kleptic]

I am ashamed to share the internet with some of you idiots...

STOP saying "but it is a BETA...it is not done yet...please leave us alone"...research what exactly a BETA test is...see what bugs they are trying to fix and find out just how much more time and money they are willing to spend on the final build...idiots...the final game is going to look almost the same...there will be a slightly better polish to everything...but everyone knows this is pretty much what you are going to get...and it looks perfectly fine...and its gameplay will be fantastic...

Resistance is also a great game...with a great multiplayer despite the lack of vehicles...and it too looks pretty good...but neither of these games are the top tier graphics wise for either system...F1 '06, Ninja Gaiden Sigma (even the demo at this point), and Motorstorm all have better textures (except the terrible vehicle shadows in Motorstorm) and overall more impressive visuals than resistance...and despite being a totally different art direction, Gears makes halo 3 look like dog crap (nice that someone pointed out the "real-time" texture loading issues with it though...i always found that funny..Halo 1 and 2 used to do that on the original HaloBox)...and Halo 3 will make Gears seem to play like dog crap...

Why do you tards have to argue about it so much?...Why is this industry flooded with the maturity of my neighbor's dog? I own a PS3 and i will be the first to admit that I am insanely jealous that this game is not coming to a platform that I own...and everybody that owns only a ps3 is thinking the exact same thing, unless they do not play shooters...But I am not going to flame and fight and overall be really annoying about how stupid I am...

[Stiffler203]

who gives a sh!t, yeah Resistance will look better so what. Its not about graphics its about game play. There will be millions playing Halo 3 and only a couple hundred thousand play Resistance. Next time you do a comparison what don't compare the lack of games on your shtty console compared to lots of games for the 360. It must suck to not have anything to play on the PS3. So expensive, overrated, and weak a$$ online service I can see why there is so many of you on here at 1 time.

[Figboy]

i do find it funny that there is another game that is actually in *PRE ALPHA (which is before Alpha and Beta), that looks, well, phenomenal.

that game is Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. also scheduled for a September release, yet it looks incredibly polished and complete, though it's not near Beta status.

i've seen both the Halo 3 Beta, and Resistance: Fall of Man at their early stages (i was at E3 last year, when Resistance was playable for multiplayer, it was also in Beta at the time), and Resistance looked better even back then. so it goes without saying that by release time, Resistance looks better than the Halo 3 beta.

another thing i find interesting is that a lot of 360 fanboys were constantly screaming to high heaven about how *SECOND GENERATION title Gears of War blew *FIRST GENERATION title Resistance: Fall of Man out of the water visually, but when Sony fans countered with the very reasonable fact that Resistance and Gears have two totally *DIFFERENT art styles, so a comparrison just isn't fair, they were shot down. but here, when it's clear that a late *SECOND GENERATION 360 title, Halo 3, isn't looking as good as a *FIRST GENERATION PS3 launch title, Resistance: Fall of Man, that very same argument is used to defend it.

my roommate claims that Halo 3 *PLAYS as solidly as it's predeccessors, and ultimately, that is what will matter to Halo fans, so it doesn't matter if the game is visually pleasing, but i can't help but chuckle at the poetic justice fanboys are getting because their premiere shooter can't even compare to Gears of War either.

i mean, did all of you actually expect *EVERY. SINGLE. GAME to reach the benchmark that Gears set? it's a silly expectation.

my own personal take on the Halo 3 Beta is that it does look very close to Halo 2 visually, and the environments are decent looking, but they still have that "manmade" feel to them, as if they aren't naturally occuring geographic formations. other games, like MGS 3, Resistance, and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, have very natural looking and feeling environments. the Halo 3 Beta maps i've scene look like something that was built in a map editor. there are too many boxy shapes for mountains and rock formations, and it lacks that authentic feel.

i'm willing to give it some slack in certain areas (like the visuals), but there are other games in Beta, and even Alpha, that look more polished and finished than this, that are launching at the same time.

it's Halo, so it's bound to be a fun game, but i do think comparrisons like this are silly, but amusing to see when the shoe is on the other fanboy foot.

irony and poetic justice never cease to be entertaining when it comes to video game fanboys (of all types, from all systems).

[The_Firestarter]

do we need to compare EVERY F'KING FPS TO THE HALO 3 BETA? Give it a rest already, sheesh. The game isn't even finished get!

[badkolo]

compare resistance to gears of war not halo3, thats unfair, halo3 looks different and cartoony ad yeah resistane does look better in some pics but I dont beleave the final version of halo3 multiplayer will look much better then i does now but the single player will look alot better. But then you could say you are comparing them becuase resistance is a lunch title compared to a 3 gen game such as hao3 but even the devs said its not about graphics as much as its about gameplay. But Until the ps3 has a game that looks as good or btter then gears of war theres nothing on the ps3 to compare it with.

[Drew]

I love how they don't take into account art style, resolution, and game completion. Two completely different games, with two completely different art styles. Resistance is finished, Halo is not. You even see some shots from the ALPHA version of Halo 3 in there. Smooth. Not only that, but he's using a lot of off-screen shots from Resistance, and crappy, over-compressed shots from sites like IGN and Gamespot.

http://media.teamxbox.com/g...

[PS360PCROCKS]

Thank you. Bubbles for you simply for not having your head stuck so far up your ass you can't breathe limiting thought processes. Good pictures by the way, I personally like the way the game looks. I thought it was great when I loaded it up.

[Droidbro]

It's funny that a beta looks better than a finished AAA game, but i don't think it's really fair to compare these two. they have entirely different graphical styles.

[StateofMind]

Resistance is a launch game that was released about 7 months ago. Will Halo 3 look better than it? I sure hope so...

That said, the quality on those pictures for Resistance is awful. The game definitely looks better than that, but not better than Halo 3. We can leave that up to Haze and Killzone 2.

[Kastrol]

Resistance is a launch game and should be compared to Perfect Dark Zero
and Halo damn what did bungie do with all that money

[ErcsYou]

bad habits aint cheap, especialy if billy gates is your pimp

[SpinalRemains138]

But that Resistance game looks a lot better. I guess the PS3 is more powerful after all when it comes to graphics

[Dr Pepper]

This is MADNESS!!!!!

[UrbanJabroni]

I apparently have some fundamental need to be upset...because I keep coming here and reading these forums. The pure lack of logic in this thread astounds me. Can you imagine a side-to-side comparison of "The 300" against "Saving Private Ryan?" Neither looks "better", they both just have different art styles. The fact that people are debating the power of a system based upon two completely different games is beyond me.

If anyone remembers the period before the PS3 came out, EVERYONE on this forum kept saying how you needed to wait until the multi-platform titles come out to judge the power of a system. Since "developers are lazy" and the results don't fit the fanboy agenda, we are now comparing two completely different games.

Crazy

[Dr Pepper]

"Can you imagine a side-to-side comparison of "300" against "Saving Private Ryan?" Niether looks "better", they both just have different art styles."

True, good analogy

[chelcho]

This is Sparta! Oh no! This is N4G :)

[NextGen24Gamer]

I have been enjoying the Halo 3 beta all week. I realize its not the final version of the game. But, with that said...I have played Resistence and of course the Halo 3 Beta....

And honestly the Halo 3 Beta blows Resistence away. Gears looks better at this point than the Halo 3 beta...but I would bet just about anything that once Halo 3 is releaeed...it will look better than Gears. Thats just my opinion. But to compare Resistence to any of the 360 shooters is a joke. Graphically Resistence is not even close to Gears/Rainbow Six/Call of Duty 3/ Prey/ and so on and so on. Restence graphically looks a tad better than Most original xbox 1 shooters. I could care less about screen shot comparissons...I just play the games and compare in real life. There is a reason Resistence reviews are on average in the mid 8's. There are many 360 shooters in the high 8's to 9's.

[bobbybrown]

either you haven't seen resistance in HD or you haven't seen it at all in real life.

[4me2]

You are really FUNNY! - "Thats just my opinion"

BTW
You do not have PS3. You hate everything SONY...

[Antan]

"And honestly the Halo 3 Beta blows Resistence away"

Having played both, i can honestly say....sadly in doesn`t, in my opinion, and also in alot of website publication opinions which are ten a penny on the net. For one H3Beta has zero AA whereas RFOL has 4x. I am playing both on my Samsung le40r88bd lcd tv.

You are also impyling the difference between the two is nothing short of amzazing with a quote like "blowing away", which only adds to your questionable comment. Anyone who reads my posts knows im not a fanboy in the slightest and will always give my honest opinion and tell it how it is.

After all is said and done Halo 3 ain`t even in shops yet so the reality is this is a meaningless comparison (even though i just commented on it! lol).

[techie]

Nice one Antan. I respect your opinion and it's nice to see someone actually be honest...hard to find, when you have guys saying things like the above "elitest" which is clearly coming from an angry place, a place which appears to treat his 360 love for a religion, and then pretend to be honest by saying things like the beat "blows away anything on the ps3". Just really quite sad.

[sonarus]

You sir are a fan boy. There is nothing wrong with it as long as you accept it. I havnt played rainbow 6 but i have played prey and call of duty and i can tell you it looks better than call of duty and you ought to be shot for tossing prey in there.

[Jay da 2KBalla]

Why is the halo 3 beta being compared to resistance when Gears already blows resistance out of the water? And besides people it is only a beta. Geez.

[Torch]

"...I almost always lived in very sunny places..."

OK, OK, no need to brag about it.

In all seriousness, I cannot emphasize how much I detest and despise winter, no less the cold. Just gimme sun and sweat any and every day, baby!

...which may actually support your point; I live in Toronto, Canada. The inside running joke here is that we have only two seasons:

Winter and Construction.

Now it all makes sense. Thank you, Sigmund, for helping me realize my innate joy for colourful environments.

Now where do I send the cheque? ;)

[badkolo]

I will say one thing to the ps3 defense, It seems that while some games wont and dont look a good as gears it seems that the ps3 can have more things happening on the screen versus some games on the 360, it might be just me but it seems that way. I still am impressed when i pla motorstorm which looks very nice but resistance looks ok, i compar it to cod3 which still to me at least looks better then resistance but the later levels in resistance are better then the first 2 levels.

[midgard229]

thats halo 3 multiplayer beta, vs resistance single player graphics, resistance multiplayer graphics r alot worse than its single player, and almost no interactivity in enviorments

[4me2]

"Resistance multiplayer graphics r alot worse than its single player" -not true, just not as many different objects/parts of environments compering to single player.

"and almost no interactivity in enviorments" - obviously you have never played Resistance multiplayer.

[Bhai]

...best representation of anti-aliasing when it was released. I got to thoroughly play it in Jan-2005. Yes, the content was not fulfilling, the stages were limited with very little accessible places but a very pretty draw-distance. Experience-wise, I had already played several very next-gen games already from DMCs, Jak, MGS3 to Onimushas and GTAs so Halo-2's experience was nothing more than playing Quake3Arena or Unreal Tournament all over again, no story, monsters or depth, just brainless shooting. We all know it sold well because it was the only great game Xbox ever had. Still

+pros:
.Model detail was awesome.
.Background environments were very colourfull
.Animation was stunning.
.Best anti-aliasing ever as I said earlier,

-cons:
.Worthless storyline(Quake3Arena or Unreal Tounament again)
.Pathetic physics
.pointless bosses
.Non-innovative gameplay(yeah, yeah it was a bit complex than Q3A or UT)

----------------------------- ------------------------------- ---------

BUT HALO-3...EEEHHH!!!

It has nothing of +pros of its predecessor and all the -cons are intact HaHaHa. You see Resistence's polycount just butchers it !!!

[Drew]

- Worthless storyline? Have you read the books?
- Pathetic physics? Ever kill someone on the beach, and watch their body rock to the waves as it's slowly pushed to shore? Or in a river, to watch them realistically float and tumble down it?
- Pointless bosses? Halo 1 had no bosses, Halo 2 had one boss, Halo 3 will more than likely have none.
- Non-innovative gameplay? Have you really played it before?

[SDS Overfiend]

Hater! Your hating Bhai. Stop it please cause everyone knows your only kidding youself and hurting inside. We all know you wish Sony made a game so innovative and groundbreaking as Halo 1 (And 2 since it introduced duel-wielding.). Say it with me now... Halo 3 beta is only a beta.Honestly Why are you so scared of a beta? I see a lot of Fanboys up here is scared of this beta cause ya'll know times up in september.This was just the warning shot. Look at it this way at least if you changed for N4G Handle on Xbox live we wont know that its you. The same fanboys looking for a real online multiplayer game thats dissapointed in Ps3's weak offerings will have no choice but to combine with Xbox 360. Jumping we have slots on friends list.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Why did they compare resistance single player to halo 3 multi player beta anyways. Thats gay.

[Kleptic]

whats gay is that the post count on this thread keeps spiraling upward, and about two of you even understand what a "beta" is...its not to fix graphics retards...I said it before...but you Sir Top'm hats keep posting away...and I am not taking sides...I think it looks great, and I don't even own a 360...better than resistance? it makes no sense to compare them...better use of hardware? haven't played the beta yet so I don't know...

SDS though...If you think Halo 2 "OMG dualwielDzbbq" was ground breaking...it had been done in several games before...Even most Halo fans don't even know what was so groundbreaking about the franchise from day one...the only thing that was "fresh" was the one hit melee kills that actually worked well and were extremely rewarding...the ability to only carry two weapons at a time no matter what...and the recharging energy shield...thats it...halo 2 didn't do anything but expand the original...everyone of us played goldeneye at one point or another...and we all should know that you could have two guns up at once in that way before halo 2....

Only thing I will take sides with is weapons though...Most people know that Insomniac is very well known for their excellent weapon design...and Resistance is just another example of why...the ability to air lock a rocket in mid air and hold it there as long as you want, while aiming it and releasing it anywhere you want from that point...and also being able to air lock that rocket in a crowded room, hold R1 for 2 seconds and release about 25 little mini rocket cluster things that chase people around is one of the sweetest online experiences I have had in a while...I rank it with cutting my roommate in half with the chainsaw in gears...that is definately awesome too...but the secondary options on each weapon in resistance is untouchable...the way that the air fuel grenades stick like plasma grenades to enemies...and instead of just popping and killing them, they surround them in this gorgeous flame and you get to see him running around aimlessly burning to death...the bullseye, won't even comment...if you haven't used that yet I feel bad for you...and who could forget the Auger and tallying up Auger Master ribbons by shooting blindly into a wall towards the enemies reactor in Meltdown...It will be a long while before this many awesome weapons are put into a single game, and I didn't even name half of them
...

[Phantom_Lee]

Mario vs White Knight Story...

..I though we are doing the " compare 2 different games " ...game...

[chelcho]

Do you know why H3 graphics isn't so superb? They couldn't touch console limits due to unreliable hardware.
There is 4 million preorders and it'd be 4 million dead x360. M$ cannot afford for it.
Search on net how many x360 died due to Dead Man Rising development.

[anh_duong]

i think this post has achieved it's objective i.e. to get as many fanboys participating as possible. it's actually quite pointless post since how can you compare a "firstgen" nextgen game (rfol) against a BETA build of "secondgen" nextgen game (halo3). POINTLESS.

hmm.. the post even got me particpating even though i think it is pointless.. lol

[Russbomb]

I'll admit that the halo 3 screens look better than resistance, but remember that resistance was a launch title and its in 720
the halo 3 screens don't look mindblowingly better
sorry super halo fans

[Hypnotic]

How can you compare two completely different games? Especially when one is a multi player beta. Show us some screen shots of the same games on different consoles.

[naturalgamer]

yeah. Resistance looks waaayy better ..... NEXT!

[THE TRUTH]

to compare these two games. RFOM is a launch title with a much shorter development time and a much different artistic direction. Halo 3 is a multiplayer beta.

The real comparison will be Killzone 2 vs. Halo 3 and everyone knows it. Hopefully they don't become the two most overhyped games in video game history.

From what I have played of Halo 3 it looks like Halo 2 HD BUT it IS a beta gamers, 1 think is for sure it looks NOTHING like the E3 trailer but they still have time before it's release.

[evilmark220]

halo 3 is way better

[Odion]

The point is RFOM doesn't play as good as Halo, and just like Starcraft, and World of warcraft, in the end gamers only really care about gameplay and the pretty games never hold a candle to games with timeless gameplay.

Halo 3 when its finally released in September will blow away other FPS'ers that came before it. There is obviously a lot of Halo Haters and Lovers....But you can't ignore the reviews for Resistance...Its averages in the mid 8's...which I believe is rated higher than it should be due to fact that it was the only slighly bright spot in the ps3's launch. All the other first and second party games rated in the 30's, 40's, and 50's repectfully. So while Resistence isn't a bad game...its far from an AAA game. Gears of War is an AAA game. All the awards and average scores in the mid 9's support what I already know. Halo 1 and 2 are not only Highly rated games...But the sales for both are off the charts....Resistence still hasn't hit 500k from last I checked. Thats pitiful and "ONLY" fanboys will hype that game. It was a dissappointment no matter how you spin it. Halo 3 is the most anticipated game of 2007. The Beta isn't perfect...but in my opinion its a much better experience (even in this early form) than Resistence was as a complete game. And yes I have a Ps3 and 360's....Anyone who doubts me...I can once again...like I did before....take a picture of my set up with me in the picture...Its not a problem folks....But I know for a fact that most of they people who attack me for "MY opinion"...Don't have neither system. And thats just sad. We are entitled to our opinions...And I'm not saying Resistence sucks...I'm saying it was not nearly as good as the hype...and in my opinion its a low 8 to high 7...rather than the mid 8 it averaged. Every single FPS game for the 360 since launch looks better than Resistence on my 61 inch 1080p Samsung DLP tv. Its not even close. I could care less about screen shots...I'm going off of my experience playing the games.

[THE TRUTH]

Your following statement is just not THE TRUTH:

"Resistence still hasn't hit 500k from last I checked. Thats pitiful and "ONLY" fanboys will hype that game. It was a dissappointment no matter how you spin it."

Please at least atempt to try and find the facts before you TRY and educate the educated

According to VGcharts.org Resistance:Fall of man has sold over 1 Million copies to date. They have sales recorded as following:

Japan: 114,000+
Europe: 220,000+
USA: 660,000+

----------------------------- ------------------------------- ------

I have no idea why you are continually know R:FOM, I personally enjoyed this game and STILL enjoy to play with friends online. It is just a very polished launch title that is great fun. Visually it's great to see with alot of things going on all at once. The reviews were above average.

"Critical Reception
Within the first few hours of the PS3's Japanese launch, the game had already received praise from some publications. Famitsu gave the game a 33 out of 40. IGN was the first western site to review the game, giving it a 9.1 out of 10 with reviewer Jeremy Dunham declaring that while other consoles had to wait years to get their killer app, "PlayStation 3 users get theirs on day one." Game Informer has given Resistance a 9.5 out of 10. Also, Gamezone gave it a 9.5. GameSpot has given Resistance an 8.6.[4] Following closely GameBrink.Com has posted their import review, giving it a 91 over 100.[5]. However, the scores at the time of European launch were less brilliant, and the OPM UK gave it 7, compared to Call of Duty 3's 8. IGN UK gave it 8, compared to 9.1 at the US launch."

Just relax man we all know you swear by your 360 and that's fine but just give credit were it is due.

[Anerythristic26]

somebody would just post a fake article stating either Halo 3 will be multiplat or MGS4 has become a 360 exclusive so all the fanboys would gather. Then a brave person can e - nuke this site to make the internet a MUCH better place.

Shouldn't you kids be in school or something ? There is no way in hell most of these comments are being made from a humanoid over 14 or 15 years old.

[SpinalRemains138]

This looks like a Coleco vision game. It's on par with mouse trap and Q Bert. Why is it being compared to the greatest looking game ever made. That's like comparing Roseanne to Katherine Zeta Jones.

[Balance]

it isn't being compared to the greatest looking game, this is a beta vs rfom, not halo3 BETA vs gears of war, that would be comparing it to the greatest looking console game.

[The True Gamer]

When it's all said and done. Halo 3 will be the better game, I mean people forget that this game is more than a 3 map beta. Your going to have a great single player experience, with great story, charecter, enemy A.I. ( exspecially at harder settings, how come people keep forgetting to mention that awesome A.I. ( the elites are brutal), great soundtrack, and awesome action. RFOM can't even touch Halo in those category. Plus, Halo has one of the best online console experience in the world, it is endless play option and matchmaking is genius. I do not have to worry about getting booted 50 time before I can play in a match. Plus the Bungie online site is brilliant. Halo 2 is almost 3 years old and still there are thousands of people everyday playing. RFOM will not be a thought about in three years. So in short who gives a F*** if the graphics will be better than Halo 3. I'll take gameplay over graphics from a $600.00 plus tax and accessories(remote,component cables, and headset sold separate,Geez!!!) system any day. OH yeah 4 player co-op online, awesome!!!

[Red]

Looking at the shots posted, Halo 3 Beta shots look better.

[trueltie5]

It's funny with those who try to bash the PS3. Yeah it's a console that cost a lot more than most would pay. But more titles coming out, Blu Ray dominating the HD movie industry...any MANY other things on my PS3....im happy either way...whether it's dishing out $600 or it's $500...As we all know Halo 3 (2.5 i should say) is being launched at the holiday season just to spur sales...they're pushing a game out just to ramp sales...I've tried it and was not impress one bit.
Jason xg1 why you so mad at Playstation owners ? Talking about small penis and all ? Hmmm who's the insecure one now ?

[THAMMER1]

LOL.....YOU....CAN.....STOP... .NOT... .THE.....HALO.....3.....EFFECT . ....LOL

Just give up and go JUMP IN.

[LilClaw]

Was I the only here who didn't thing that Halo3 looked half bad?

[ErcsYou]

bad comparison.....launch vs beta pics with a crappy camera? halo3 will do great and little kids will continue to spew profanitys over xbl. its halo 2 all over again

[AIZEN SOZUKE]

i really truely do feel sorry for all of you that bring up glitches of ware in every competition or even crysis for pc, that is very sad that yall are putting up 180 and pc best and comparing them to games that arent even tickling ps3, and also why put up glitches of ware a game that exceeded the 180s power, up against a ps3 game resistance that still had so many things that were superior to your glitches of ware, like how small your enviornments are, and how few characters were on screen, how short the game is, terrible glitches, super unrealistic blood effect, 5 hours, not many people aloud in multiplayer, now this game is truely a shame not to mention how much is happening on screen at once with resistance, but enough about that lets get to even if glitches of ware did look better than resistance, your reign of victory will last to lets see e3, yeah that and after will be the conclusion of ever mentioning that weakling glitches of ware, middle gen graphics in a ps3 disscusion again, and besides howd you figure glitches looks better than some ps3 games like:

FORMULA 1

MOTORSTORM

VIRTUA FIGHTER 5

and it surely dont look better in any way to Rail Fan, yeah go check it out on youtube, even with the horrible quality of youtube resolutions the game looks flawless, compared to anything on your 180 or pc

there are gonna be so many laughs at your 180 and pc when killzone 2 and other ps3 games that will be in e3 that will look even better than killzone 2, i can gurantee your glitches of ware will never be mentioned again, and also glitches of ware, it surely doesnt look better than uncharted and heavenly sword, if you believe so then you are a meth doer, and if you dont believe my statements, then have a look at my profile, but so long 180 meth doers

[AngryTypingGuy]

Resistance is second rate. Compare the final version to G.O.W.

[caffman]

that Gears is better. And Prey! LoL
