Subject: Will Reach push 360 graphics to its limit?

I finally finished the Fight!

I was just wondering if reach will use the xbox 360 is full power! Simply because i thought halo 3 odst looked amazing! I dont know if you can push that system that much more!

You know what would be ULTRA awesome? If Bungie buys and uses the CRYengine 3 for Reach!!

It should really let Bungie make us beautiful game.

Correct Me If Im Wrong Anyone , But Doesnt Odst Use The Same Engine As Halo 3 But Just a Little More Polished. Bungie Will Probably Make Reach Ground Up And It Will Look A Lot Better Than Both Games.

Well, Bungie will create a new game engine for Reach so I'll be hoping for the best.

"I have saved him. He was a man who craved power. And great power he had, but he feared losing it. Trembling at unseen enemies, he spent his days scheming petty schemes. Chased by his fears, never knowing rest. You see... Now he has no worries. He has been granted sleep eternal. Death is a sweet slumber. All the pain of life is gently swept away... Ah, yes. Don't you see...if all life were to end in Spira, all suffering would end. Don't you see? Do you not agree?"

I would probably agree with you if you didn't capitalise every word.

CRYengine 3 = best/most advanced engine EVER.

  • 09.22.2009 9:31 PM PDT

@Helveck

Just an Average Joe...

They've already stated that they will be utilizing a new graphics engine, I believe... So if it is anything like the jump from Halo CE, to Halo 2 on the original Xbox, I will be a very happy man.

You must remeber that Bungie has tighter system boundaries than Crytech. The 360 got 512 ram right? Now go check the recommended system requirements for Crysis...

I bet Bungie could have made the greatest looking game in the world IF they were making games for the pc and did't have to worry about overloading the xbox 360.

You want Crysis like graphics in a game from Bungie? Then call MS and beg them to rush out xbox 720.

actually, the CRYengine 3 is made for consoles! Crysis 2 is going to made for PC, xbox and PS3.

BTW when the hell is Halo 3 PC coming out!? it's been 2 years Bungie!

Oh, i did not know that. I guess it's just getting ported to 360 then. Not sure though. Well have to wait and see the result. But i still stand by my point though.

We will get Halo 3 pc by the time Reach is out dont you think?

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

sure, the cryengine looks great, but its physics are abosolute horse-blam!-. an adapted version of the source engine would be better

O.O CRYengine has the most realistic physics ever seen in a game!

Yea bungie use the cry engine 3!

No thanks. Cry Engine is so not fitting for halo. And to be honest, the CE3 will probably look eh on consoles. Reach will probably look better than Crysis 2 on consoles.

If you can read this, you are looking at my signature

I dont think Reach will push to new hights. Halo 3 already lags when rendering explosions and stuff.

but maybe they'l make a better engine that uses the GPU better.

I hope they do push the graphics to atleast look up to par with other current titles, but I wouldn't be surprised if it looked like halo 3.5

The physics in CryEngine seems awful. Just look at Crysis. Put a dishmachine in the back of a pickup and it explodes when you break. I'd prefer if they kept using the Havoc physics engine.

I agree with this guy, cryengine doesnt suit halo and bungie using another games engine, i dont like the originality in that, also if the supposedly new engine their gonna make beats crytek, ill be like !#$%^&* (WHOA!)

stop dreaming, it'll NEVER beat the CE.
we're talking of a 4 year old console with DX9.5 beating the most recent computers with DX11....

I am a pharmaceutical scientist. I received my Masters degree in Pharmaceutics from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia in 2010, after working as a Pharmacist for 4 years. I currently work in King of Prussia, PA, and focus on the analytical chemistry of small molecule APIs. My clients include some of the most well known big pharma companies in the world.

I have a feeling we'll see a new graphics engine in Reach. With ODST, Bungie has taken the current engine nearly to its limit. Presumably a little more than a year until its released and the fact that they've likely been working on the game for at least a year in some phase, I think we'll be in for something sweet.
