5 360 games that look worse than Rage iPhone
Rage iPhone looks very good. But does it look better than Halo 3?
Forget Bioshock: Infinite (well, for the moment at least). As impressive as Ken Levine’s latest is, yesterday another videogame demonstration shook Team X360 to its very core: the Rage iPhone demonstration. If you haven’t seen this yet, then stop reading this and check it out below. It’s ok. We’ll wait.
Back? Shaking? Thought so. It looks, to quote a certain movie, ricockulous-ly good. So good, in fact, that it puts some 360 games to shame. Here’s a list of 5, but in all honestly we could have picked about forty.
5. Rogue Warrior
In with a poorly animated bullet at number 5 it’s Rogue Warrior, the worst game since the last game Rebellion did and Mickey Rourke’s worst performance since Double Team (yeah, it’s that bad). Rogue Warrior looks like it was programmed by a man that had no concept of eyes, and Rage iPhone has more quality in its first second of gameplay (which consists of your character walking forward one step) than Warrior’s entirety (which consists of your badly-everything character failing to walk forward one step).
4. Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
Turning Point is a great idea, what with Nazi Germany winning the war, invading America and all that. Sliced bread is also a good idea, but unfortunately we’re fairly sure that the team behind Fall of Liberty would have cocked that up as well, because the actual game is unmitigated toilet, an affront to history that will probably be documented in the same sombre manner of the evil empire that inspired it. There’s a bit in the Rage demo where one of the other characters in the world waves its arm at you, and in those brief few seconds there’s more animation than in the entirety of Turning Point.
3. Hour of Victory
We don’t even want to talk about this one.
2. Dragon Age
Granted, we may have put the boot into some of the previous games on this list for their heinous crimes to humanity, but we have no truck with Dragon Age. It’s quality. It may not be the best looking game ever made, but the fact that Rage iPhone is being mentioned in the same sentance should tell you exactly what an achievement it is.
1. Halo 3
Oh, controversial. But all Halo 3 is is shiny, sub-HD, 30 FPS shooter. Rage iPhone is 60 FPS and has textures (or should that be a texture?) that would make Master Chief weep until his visor steamed up. Granted, the Rage iPhone demo’s enemies are stationary, and Carmack has said that the 60 FPS in the video will probably be scaled down, but we’re pretty sure that it will still look better thann Halo. We think.
So there you have it. We would finish this sentance with something tying up something relevant but we’re off to watch the Rage vid again.
The Deal’s views are not necessarilly those of X360 magazine
to find out about all the
latest XBOX 360 news, reviews, previews, interviews, features and a whole more.
i agree.
Bah. Halo has never been about the raw graphical power. It’s about the art style, the aesthetics, the lighting, the music (best in any game, IMO) the AI (best in any shooter, easily), and the gameplay.
hahahahahah what a stupid man hahahhahahaahha
rage iphone is shit cause its not realy a game probebly 2-3 hours……
alot of the games you mentioned were multyplat…..
halo3 may not be pretty but it still f###s killzone2 in the ass as it goes fo a complete game!!!!!!!!!!
Best music in any game? Wow, delusional and deaf. And best AI? Wow, yeah when compared to what, Timesplitters? Get real
hahah nice joke thread
REALLY HALO? SO TELL ME. WHAT OTHER GAME HAS REPLAY MODE AND FEATURES THAT HALO 3 HAS? HAVE YOU EVEN PLAYED THE GAME? PROBABLY JUST ANOTHER PERSON HATING ON HALO BECAUSE HES TERRIBLE AT IT. THATS BASICALLY HOW IT WORKS
halo……how did halo get up there ?……..ha,your just a long time time halo hater.
@KAPELLA: Yeah, because using capitals means you’re totally right and everyone should agree with you.
ahah nowFLAMER. Ive never seen one good article come from this site. If you think the Iphone demo looked better than halo 3 then you know NOTHING about videogames. Sorry, a bunch of indoors, empty rooms with nothing in them, no physics, and no AI is nothing compared to simply the scale of halo 3.
Obviously from a bunch of people who know nothing about video games.
I second KAPELLA.
Plus the game was released in 2007.
Almost 3 years ago by my magical mathlete skills.
Lets see if Rage on the Iphone is going to be still played in 2013.
I am going to go out on a short limb here and say “Rage what?”
You can quote me on that.
If you want to compare graphics, then do it on something coming out in the same year.
Halo Reach vs Iphone Rage = Halo: Reach wins.
And lastly…You are comparing a Iphone game to 3 crappy DoubleA games at best, a third person RPG, and a “3″ year old game. Why didn’t you just throw in Tetris and frogger and totally shoot yourself in the Editorial sphincter?
ALERT! ALERT! HALO 3 FANBOY ALERT!!!!
KAPELLA THey’re not hating on it dumbass. Read properly in the future…
Rogue warrior is a disgrace of a game…Certainly of this generation..Worst game of the year…Generation.. Millennium
okay seriusly wtf dude that rage iphone looks like junk to me I just think your like this = omg i must somehow degrade xbox games for the sake of….?
still halo 3 is great game but hey it’s over 2-3 years old where the fuck can i complain bout graphics ….and graphics arent super importand it’s about the whats made possible with in the game with those graphics and the better the game looks …the shorter and less sidequests or extra stuff will come out soo….i chose a medium graphics game over others any time :P
@Singularity
Artstyle: Yeah I give you that, although it’s not really anything better than your standard marine/alien affair. I mean could you call them brilliant and original if the world of Starship troopers/Aliens looked coincidentally similar?
Aesthetics/lighting: The bleeding article just called it “Shiny” and why must everything be in different colours? is this Power Rangers? But hey it’s personal taste and opinion. But seriously didn’t the fact that that the Battle Rifles looked strangely disproportionate on anyone other than Master Chief bother you? That my friend is bad design.
Music: Ha, I agree that the “Halo” theme with it’s haunting religious chorus is a memorable piece of music, but can you name me anything else that’s good about it? Oh yeah like those crappy MIDI like tracks that play during the gameplay outside of the cutscenes and major battles.
Seriously there is a reason Gamespy numbered Halo as no.11 in their top 50 Xbox games, yeah sure it’s pretty decent competent shooter, but by the gods its 2010! We have standards now, people don’t get moved by shallow stuff…oh wait sorry scratch that….
you know go play your Halo.
Sentence. Learn to spell it.
dragon age and halo make up for it with fantastic gameplay, plus halo is several years old, but still, yeah most of that stuff your right about.
The age factor doesn’t count.
It’s like saying that you can’t claim Killzone 2 has better graphics than Pong because it’s decades older.
@Dai
Grammar: learn to use it.
Eh, the thing I love most about Halo is its deep and rich universe. There are other games I prefer to play, but none aside from perhaps Mass Effect rival the quality of the universe Bungie has crafted.
That’s why I’ve written a 300 page fan fiction set in it over the past two years. That may seem excessive, and it probably is, but writing is my hobby, and writing fan fiction lets you improve so much more than original writing does, merely due to the fact that you can just get stuck straight into a pre-made universe rather than creating one of your own.
I don’t want to spend time crafting my own until I’m confident in my writing abilities.
Anyway, I digress. Halo is a very good game in my opinion, and the opinion of Gamespy (which is just an opinion no more and no less valid than my own) doesn’t matter to me at all. I’m very much looking forward to Reach.
@ this site sucks
You suck.
