Bungie decided to redo its graphics engine using mac g5s complete with Radeon9800XT's. But the xbox however, is running a nvidia FX5400. The radeon is better. So the graphics you see are sometimes out of the g5 and notice how the gameplay videos reflect the xboxs capabilities and look a tad bit "unpolished", but the game will still look awesome and is going to push the limits of your xbox to the max, you should htank bungie for giving your xbox some exercise.
Sorry folks that all the intelligence your going to get out of me for one week
Hey, Funky Cheese, you're not the only intelligent person on these forums (although, I can see how you could think that with all of the stuff you hear around here). The Xbox isn't running on an FX 5400. It is running on a variation of the Geforce 3 graphics card. I don't believe there is even an FX 5400! The FX technology wasn't even around when the Xbox came out. And when they refer to a "graphics engine" they are not talking about hardware. They are talking about the code and tech running the game. By the way, all the screens and videos you see are from an Xbox.
Oh my bad, Yes thats what i ment, geforce. and about the graphics engine, they need a faster tech so therefore they need a faster Graphics card and in the Interview with bungie they were using g5's(the best computer on the planet) and in order to have a powerfull graphics engine at high tech speeds, what do you need? C'mon i know you know this...
