The hype for Halo 4 is starting to build up, and to help it along 343 Studios and Microsoft have unvieled the first ever in-game screenshots of Halo 4 in action, along with a rather bold tweet from Corrinne Yu, the principal engine programmer of Halo 4, claiming that, ” “It’s the best looking game on Xbox and any other consoles we ever made and we’re all from AAA studios.So proud of team.”

Well, that’s certainly a big claim to make as it’s up against heavy competition and, in all honesty, while these screenshots do look rather tasty, I wouldn’t quite go as far as to call them the best looking on Xbox 360, but then it’s quite hard to judge at this point. They do sport some rather lovely lighting effects, though.

 Microsoft and 343 Studios have also been keen to stress that these screenshots have not be tampered with in any way.

Enjoy.
