The Halo 3 beta continues to be a hot topic in the gaming community. Bungie’s Frank O’Conner has recently addressed the issue of the beta’s visuals, which has been a source of controversy from fans who were probably expecting Halo 3’s graphics to compete with Gears of War.
“Well to be honest, we’ve seen them [the graphics] praised too,” O’Conner says. “Multiplayer is by necessity a more sterile iteration of our graphical style and will always be tuned for performance and elegance rather than jamming the screen full of pixels.
“We think that the final aesthetic look of our game will be judged at launch in September and in part based on the more intense single player spaces. We’re also focused on maintaining the Halo character and atmosphere in our visual design – we’re competing with ourselves, and not simply trying to match the aesthetic of other games” O’Conner finishes by stating that “We think that folks will be happy with Halo 3’s graphical polish come September.”
