Oh man, I'm freaking out about the skies. I've been trying to even get something to look half way as good as that. and they show up to dash my short term hopes :(.

Well yeah, Bungie have something most developers don't have - great artistic design.
That's why, in my eyes, Halo 3 visually looks better than any other game I can think of.

What about BioShock?

I mean, don't get me wrong, both of them are AMAZING, but I think BioShock's art direction was almost, if not as good as Halo 3's.

Still, I don't want to turn this into an angry debate. All I can say to the screens is "OMG WANT SO HARD!!!"

EDIT: One of the pages of pictures states the following:

No, that's not Samus -- it's a Spartan sporting custom armor. Players can mix and match armor components from four different Spartan styles -- and Elites are just as customizable.
So, I don't know if I'm just repeating what was already known, but there are actually four styles of customizable armor sets.

I said "most developers". And yeah, Bioshock does have great artistic design, but personally I prefer Halo's.

You know, once I posted that and re-read it, I had a feeling you were gonna post that.
But when I thought about it again, I thought it was too obvious and lame for today's world....

That again.

Anyway, makes my Last Resort look epic FAIL, which is what I've been thinking for weeks.

In other words, the screens are made of :awesome:.

Damn, Halo 3 looks so good. The graphics are better than I had hoped for. Let's hope that the storyline is at least twice as good as he graphics.
