Was Halo truly a graphical showcase in 2001? You can't name anything else on the PC that used similar lighting effects (such as the flashlight) before Halo in 2001. I doubt you'll find one.
>Was Halo truly a graphical showcase in 2001? Yes.
>>12546547Yes, but character models suck dicks, tho
...Half-Life has a flashlight
>posts the remastered version from the Master Chief Collection released in 2014 for the XBOX OneNot retro.
>>12546569Here's a legit screenshotAged like shit just like every 2001/2002 PC game
>>12546582Looks so good, the colors are so nice and the textures on metallic surfaces are just the right kind of shiny.
>>12546565Yep. Everything Halo did, Half-Life did first. Praise Gordon Freeman.
For whatever reason it took like 6 years for other games to start using effects Halo CE did on Xbox.
>>12546676God rays on a Geforce 3 is pretty crazy
>>12546547>anniversary demake Please don't post gore on /vr/ what the literal fuck is wrong with you>>12546582You're a total fucking fag. That screenshot is more beautiful than any other game released since. I bet you think piss filter slop from the 7th generation is peak graphics.
>>12546569>posts the remastered version from the Master Chief Collection released in 2014 for the XBOX OneHalo CE Anniversary first released on the Xbox 360 in 2011
>>12546612Also the grass, man. I remember being blown out by the grass texture for some reason. It was probably because of the CRT
All halo had was impressive shaders and lightning. thats it. Back to playing superior gameplay games.
>>12546582ive never ran halo on a pc or an xbox and have it look like this. are you retarded? or trolling?
Looks good
>>12547078It has a nice skybox
>>12546919and relatively advanced enemy AI with a lot of enemy variety, and fun vehicles, and low-gravity jumps and exploding vehicle physics.basically fuck the contrarian niggas, Halo 1 gameplay rocks. The graphics are great, clear, and leave nothing to be desired.
>>12546547Halo 1 was as mindblowing to people in 2001 as Mario 64 had been 5 years earlier. It genuinely felt like video games would be photo realistic by 2011 with massive dynamic worlds that actually changed according to your actions. How naive and optimistic we were.
>>12547206I thought all games would have red factions tech from the first game as standard as ragdoll effects… boy was I wrong. One of the “selling points” for halo 2 was being able to shoot off hubcaps… that was always dumb to me. I think specific Battlefields were the only games to pick up on the anything can be destroyed or damaged severely. Such a shame.But on topic, Halo CE was that bitch of the gen. Can’t even get decent enemy ai anymore. Watching playthroughs of games like the new RE enemy ai has literally devolved.
>>12547041The screenshot is from a gameplay video captured directly from the original XboxJust search for fag called Camp Xbox on youtubeYou need to stop being a fanboy since Allied Assault was released only 2 months after Halo and already looks better.
>>12546547Yes, but you have to play it on original hardware with 5.1 audio + crt. All of the pc ports for halo 1 and 2 are complete garbage and don’t preserve the lightingDon’t even get me started on 343i removing the loading screens, original menus, and credits
>>12547206>>12547273i thought 2D games would survive and make use of the bigger space of CDROMs and HDDs to make massive open world RPGs and sims. but we got Daggerfall jank instead.well some MMORPGs were huge. and MapleStory had lots of areas to explore if you don't mind the grind to get there.
halo 1 and 2 looked amazing, u just sounded retarded 2bh
>>12547595>Allied Assault was released only 2 months after Halo and already looks better.It's not a bad looking game but I'm not seeing what you're seeing. Halo has so much going on from the physics to the particles to the chaos of chained explosions and dynamic lighting from gun fire and all the steep bump mapping making everything feel really detailed.
bungie was approximating seventh gen effects in 2001 with good substantial art direction. only the most cutting edge pc gamers would have been nonplussed by that.
>>12547078The assault rifle cocking is the most satisfying sound in the history of games.
I had my zoomer (22 year old cousin) play this with me co-op for the first time with OG graphicsHe was blown away and loved every moment. He didn't realize how amazing Halo CE graphics were. Not to even mention the physics of enemies dying to grenades and stuff.I showed him the remake graphics and he was like yeah, shit sucks.
