Halo: Reach

Halo 3 pretty much looked like the cinematics, the trick was that you only got to see Master Chief and some Covenant ships in the anouncement trailer...
 
I'm sure Keighley(?) is over hyping it, like all game media tends to do.

However, Bungie does have two 360 games under their belt, so it will be nice to see what they've got so far.

It was actually better looking in the gameplay since you didn't have to stare at butt-ugly character faces.:p

I am very curious about the new engine, can't wait to see it.:smile:
 
Its really hard to tell what type of improvements they have made to the graphics in that trailer. Its very basic and really does not show much, especially when compared to how epic past Bungie trailers have been. It looks like they have full dynamic lighting for every light source now (warthog lights, Flying ship lights, overhead lamps around the base), and the materials on the characters look drastically improved over Halo 3/ODST (when the character passes through the light and you see the metal shine). Outside of that though there is really not much to say.
 
HD please. Character models' faces look better. Nice cutscene but hard to say much about the tech. Dynamic lights and shadows (yay) ... but we will see. Interestingly that stuff looks different than the leaked footage.
 
What i saw I refuse to believe is actually in game but if it is... I give it a reserved WOW.

I honestly wish this game would make it to PC with some gameplay tweaks on the old Halo formula (i know most ppl love the fast paced but tactical and a bit more realistic would own). It would really shine with dx11 (MS maybe putting it on pc to pimp dx11 and win7? OH I HOPE)

I doubt its what the gameplay will actually look like. The sky looks impossibly detailed as well as other things in the vid. Is there any official word suggesting this is real? (beyond just "in game assets")
 
I was rather disappointed in the trailer. Good graphics and good mo-cap with much better character models (human), but for some reason it just didn't grab me. Music was not what I expected either.
 
Seems darker and grittier than H3. Looks like the squad will each have unique personalities, like ODST. Seems like a big departure from the previous "Spartan" Halo games.

I'm not sure I like the armor designs - looks a little too much like ODST.
 
LOL! That's what people get for screaming about not seeing the Master Chief's face all these years. Should just leave the helmets on.

At least we'll be fighting Elites again this time . . . Wort! Wort! Wort!

Oh goody... generic bald soldier that looks like Baldur (Too Human), John Forge (Halo Wars), the dood from Fracture... :p :(

He actually doesn't look bald to me... I see fuzz on the top for now... eventually, he may get bald. Seems a likely risk for men. ;)

There was something disappointing about the design of this game for me. I guess I never really wanted to see what's underneath those helmets, and I'm a bit shocked that they have rotary wing aircraft. Are they early versions of the pelicans? Unfortunately, I'm not well versed enough in the story of Halo to know what's going on in that video.
