Subject: What kind of graphics do you think Halo Reach will have?

We want the best graphics on Xbox 360 and maybe even on the PS3, Halo needs to shine on graphics is about time, had enough of them crappy human faces and cut scenes.

No man those marines are iconic for halo.

j/k Yeah i want better graphics but would be cool if the had a skull or something that replaces the reach marines with those of halo 3.

LOL That be a nice skull, reminds me of MGS2 and MGS4, you can toggle old PS1 Snake in them. All i know they need to sort out thier cut scenes, they are horrible. Need to hire some expert people to do epic cinematics.

Just a reminder how bad the cut scenes are :-

Just Bad....

Hilarious running animation of Master Chief.

I'm not sure if this counts under "graphics" but I think the game will have better "ragdoll physics".

Question: What happens in Halo 3 when someone is killed by explosion?

Answer: The same thing that happens when anyone is killed by an explosion. The same dang arm pinwheel / look to the side every time. Not all explosions are the same, so why should all the animations after the explosion look the same.

Many of you may not remember, but after Halo 3 was released Bungie had a weekly update where they revealed something humorous that was going on in the studio that they might not of revealed normally, but it was just too funny. Unfortunately I can't find the link to that update and don't feel like going through them one by one to find it yet.

Pretty much they were testing technology that could possibly be used in future games. This is about the time they would be prototyping for Halo Reach. Their test consisted of firing the Halo 3 model of Sargent Johnson from a launcher into a giant Pach!nko machine (! used to avoid a -blam-) to observe the results. I don't know about you guys, but its obvious that they were tweaking variables and such to try to make a more realistic fall instead of arm pinwheels / crumple against nearest surface.

So I think in Reach we'll get more realistic falls.



Is this the update you're talking about?

It will probably put everything on the PS3 to shame.
I hope...

wont happen, the ps3 is superior in hardware


The Xbox has some games with pretty amazing graphics. Gears of War?

I've heard they are using a new game engine right?

And I've heard the graphics could be 10 times better than halo 3, but it's not a fact..Yet.

Have to say I liked ODST so similar to that could work for me,but I hope the other guy here is right and it blows the PS3 out of the water,if H1 and the xbox can stomp out the ps2 lets let Bungie do their best and stomp the ps3

I honestly don't know what to expect from the games graphics. I've been hearing rumors that Bungie had been designing the game play engine around the one Ensemble Studios used for the Halo Wars cutscenes. If true it could possible be the most good looking game on the platform. They had supposedly been working on this game ever since they released Halo 3. I hope it will live up to the rumors.


Halo Wars had epic spine tingling cutscenes beautifully crafted with great graphics yet it still had that same Halo feel unlike if you were to go with GOW stylled mud graphics. The only reason ODST wasn't quite up to par with looks was because it was run on the Halo 3 engine.


I liked the whole visr mode in that since Bungie was brilliant. But other than that there wasn't to huge of a change of graphics from 3 to ODST. In the end I don't think Bungie can't really go wrong with the graphics after all look at Halo 3 no one really plays it for the graphics just gameplay.If Bungie even remotely sticks to the book Fall of Reach it will keep the fans attention for a good while and that's what really matters in the end.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Is it just me, or have others heard that Bungie is going to be using a brand new game engine? (I.e. better graphics)

Heehee, just kdding but it will put everything out on a console at the moment and at the time it comes out to shame.

Edit: Looking back, does it really matter? As long as the gameplay's good, the multiplayer addictive, and the controls tight as an asian girl's body I could not care less about graphics.

You just pretty much described Halo CE right there.

I'd still like the game to look better than Halo 3. In my opinion, Halo 2 looked a bit better(on Vista of course, but I'm certain the Xbox could handle it). Less friendly lighting, I want it to feel like a desperate last stand, and not a grand space opera. Darker lighting and a more subdued pallet would convey this.

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

Hope so.


Halo 3 didn't even put everything currently out to shame, in fact it didn't even beat everything currently out when it released.

Fearless

do you guys think it will look better than uncharted 2?

  • 10.29.2009 12:22 PM PDT

Admin of Coup D Bungie

PM me any Coup questions you have.

I would have to say the graphics are gonna be as good, if not better than the Halo Wars Cinematic's. That would be COOL!!
