Subject: Full Blown Game or Spin-Off?

I was wondering if Halo: Reach will be a spin-off to the series similar to Halo: ODST or will it be treated as a full blown game like Halo 3 for example?

As you can tell Halo: ODST isn't being advertised as much or at all and I was thinking they are probably saving up to hype Halo: Reach and treat it like if it was Halo 4. I mean I really want to get excited about this game with maybe an ARG like they had for halo 3, big poster on NY like GTA 4, you know advertise the -blam- out of it.

What do you guys think, is it gonna be a full blown game or just another spin-off?

Ah yes it does have a new engine so why would bungie waste time making another engine if it was going to be another spin-off?

think?

we already know that it's a full game.

However, that's ALL we know, so don't make another thread entitled: "so what's this game going to be like guys?"

What exactly do you mean? I know it will look a lot better than Halo 3 and I've heard somewhere that it will look like the new uncharted 2 game, visually.

you are a bit thick aren't?

read it again.

Edit: what you've heard is fake. no information has ever been released beyond the trailer, how could you know it's going to be amazing when it comes to graphics?

If you look in the job description "Bungie is looking for talented individuals to help create awe-inspiring visuals for breath-taking gaming worlds. This is an amazing opportunity to work with world-class art talent to develop a visually-inspired AAA title."

Don't even post here if you don't know crap.

Bungie has confirmed that theyre using a new engine for it acutally. One called the AAA Engine apparently. And, though im sure this is slightly exxagerated, it says that the graphics will be somewhere along the line of like 10x better than the Halo 3 Engine could even achieve.

Heres more proof Linky

1) that may or may not have ANYTHING to do with Reach
2) that's job inflation. the description for the job has nothing to do with the project. They aren't going to advertise a job for a "generic looking" videogame are they?
3) Just because they say it will look amazing doesn't really affect what the graphics look like. I can take that context and describe Halo 3.

Yeah, that's COMPLETELY undeniable proof. there are only like 300 ways it could be fake, and is mostly speculation anyway.

Once again Heres more proof Linky Arron Greenburg was asked when we will see graphics like killzone 2 and uncharted on the 360 his response, "Thanks man appreciate the note wait till you see halo Reach."

Ummmm.. actually, hate to break it to you, but if this mentions Bungie and Halo in the same job it HAS to be Reach. It is their last Halo project. Remember? But I also find that this is possibly one of the easiest things to fake lol. So im not saying its true either. :) hahaha.

again, not difficult to fake. with the right information, I could make something like that "authentic" in less than a day.

O and one more thing to back up the fact that we are for sure getting the new engine is the fact that they are having a BETA. This means they are going through the process of creating an Engine. Because Beta is just an early stage of the final build. Meant to test the new engine for glitches etc. Otherwise the extra we're getting with ODST would be called a demo if it didnt use a brand new Engine. But it clearly says Halo Reach multiplayer beta, doesnt it. Yes. And seeing as the Halo 3 Engine was already pretty impressive, we can imagine this Engine will obviously be better. Why would they create an Engine worse than the one they already have experience with? they wouldn't.

yeah. get over the new engine bull-blam!- already. that was a given. everyone knew this. Bungie makes a new engine for every game.

However, there is no information to support that everything about it is Godly. Expecting it to be so will only make you hate the game when it comes out, because it doesn't fullfill your fantasies.

look, for all we know, reach is a 2d side-scrolling game. the best thing to do is to wait for a real trailer or the beta. (unless Bungie shows or tells before-hand)

Never heard of a side scrolling FPS.

  • 08.06.2009 10:15 AM PDT

Look bungie is looking for people to help them create a visually inspired AAA-title, the only AAA title bungie has created is Halo, ODST has the same graphics as Halo 3 so it all points to Halo: Reach.
