I keep hearing that ODST isn't going to be in any HD form including 720p, is this true?

Doubtful, all Xbox games now have all HD components of your Xbox. I wouldn't worry about it...

It should support 720p, 1080i, and 1080p.
The same as Halo 3.

Here's the link!

Here the source:


Bungie has confirmed that ODST will run at the same 1152x640 resolution as Halo 3 the game its based on.

Speaking to 360 Gamer at a press event for the game on Monday, Bungie senior designer Lars Bakken said that while ODST does look prettier than Halo 3 did the game engine itself has hardly changed since Halo 3.

You know there werent a lot of technical refinements that were made he replied when asked what graphical changes had been made.

There are a few little one ones here and there, but for the most part, it really came down to the engine and the tool set being done when we first started working on it.

Everything that existed in Halo 3s engine was there from the beginning. So the graphical differences that you're seeing in ODST is really testament to the artists because they were able to just take the tools that we had from the beginning and just make awesome looking stuff.


When asked what resolution ODST would run at Bakken replied the same as Halo 3.

When asked if that meant it would run at less than 1280x720 he confirmed yes exactly.

As anyone who still remembers the immediate aftermath of Halo 3s launch will know, there was some controversy after it emerged that the game the then latest instalment in the 360s flagship franchise ran at a resolution of 1152x640, rather than the 1280x720.





here you go.

ODST, just like Halo 3, will be in 640p. But it can be upscaled to 720p, 1080i, and 1080p via your 360. Technically 640p is still a form of HD.
