Subject: Reach Graphics?

Awesome isn’t just a word. Awesome is a way of life. Awesome is a way of war. Teamwork matters the most. Lone Wolves jeopardize the missions. Teamwork is key. Resistance is futile. The covenant fear us, not the other way around. We don’t fight for Earth. We don’t fight for Reach. We fight for the good of mankind because we are A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Alpha Wolf Elite Squadron Ordinary Mammals Electrocuted. Click the Homepage.

I have heard that halo reach will be using an AAA engiene and its graphics would be waaaay beter than H3. Does this mean that the gameplay will look as good as the cutscenes in halo wars, or better? If so, then im really excited!

EXTREME PREJUDICE

AAA means a blockbuster game. It's not a description of the game engine..

I heard this in school this year. I forgot who said it but.
"Courage......Does not always roar".

I made up EPIC APPLE SAUCE!

I just hope the graphics are really good.

Every time I read something that I think is the stupidest thing ever and something can't replace it, something manages to replace it.

Hopfully full HI def.

Halo 3 is only half High def.

That's really misinformed.

The difference between 80 pixels of vertical resolution is near negligible.

On a different note, Halo 3 could have even been displayed in 680P, but why it wasn't is sort of a mystery to me. I should make a thread explaining the complications of console hardware, displaying in 720P with things like MSAA and HDR, and whatnot.

halo wars cutscenes were pre rendered. There is no engine on earth that can render such quality real time... let alone in an xbox. Don't get your hopes up. It's not even 2010... were are not that advanced yet. Give it 50 more years and the shiit u see in movies NOW will be realtime rendering for the gaming consoles THEN.

Playing Reach since 4/30/10!

Despite their size, the cutscenes were unbelievably cool.

agreed, best graphics for a cut scene to a game, ever. Since ODST's graphics seemed a little bit better than Halo 3, I'm sure Reach's graphics will be even better than Halo 3.

The graphoc and gameplay change is supposed to be just like halo 2 to halo 3, but better, if it is a change like that then reach will be epic (More epic than the epic halo 3)

I believed that it is possible to get 1080P?

Was I misinformed again?
