GTTV brings us more Halo: Reach details - possible space combat

Some new details of Halo: Reach from this week's episode of GameTrailers TV with yours truly Geoff Keighley.

mcroddi5180d ago

Clearly this will be GOTY 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! FTW

RonyDean5180d ago

Reach is looking amazing but its going to have a hard time beating HeavyRain, Alan Wake, Bad Company 2 and many, many others. -- Customizable Spartans sounds like a cool thing! I wonder if it will affect the game any.

swiftshot935180d ago

Look, as good as Reach will be, it will never be GOTY. Why? Its a first-person shooter. Mass Effect 2 has a way, WAY better chance for GOTY.

GameGambits5180d ago

LMAO! I just realized GreenRingofLife is Bungie. Man you are a pathetic troll. At least be smart enough not to use the same type of avatars on your multiple accounts. Two dorky Toby Mcguire Spiderman pics = really easy to put 2 and 2 together to know it's you.

As for Halo Reach I'm eagerly awaiting the beta to see if they can capture the awesomeness that Halo 1 had.

RememberThe3575180d ago

But Space combat sounds really freakin cool. Reach is looking better every time I hear about it and it's sounding that it'll, at the very least, be FPS of the year.

Bnet3435180d ago

Don't get too excited. Geoff Keighley just pressed the question and the Bungie guy said "maybe"

beans5180d ago

He asked some good questions but what I want to know is if there will be a cover system (since it's a grittier experience with so many AI)and will jumping(no more super jumps) be like in Halo 1.

Ausbo5179d ago

Mass effect 2 has got game of the year sewn up

700 million people will die... Yeah thats not a spoiler at all...

mrv3215180d ago

I like Halo a lot... but I just don't get the story. Who ever like Halo for the story has read the books and knows everything about the HaloVersa. For me Halo just seems too impersonal. My hope with Halo: Reach is that they create a feeling of a squad and being an actual person. I will probably buy Halo: Reach but not ODST( I own Halo 3 multiplayer and I don't really like betas as much tends to create bias when I buy a game)

SixZeroFour5180d ago

700 million ppl dying is only a spoiler to those who havent read the novel fall of reach

mrv is right...i think ppl who play halo are divided into two sections and some even blending from both...on the one side, there are those who just like team based shooters, and other who like the haloverse and the story behind it, and some (like myself) that are from a little of both

mcroddi5180d ago

Gonna be hard for Bungie to make the ending of this game proper exciting since we know how it ends...

MerkinMax5180d ago

The slogan " From the beginning you know the end" implies people should know that Reach falls.

SixZeroFour5180d ago

@mcroddi - thats what is so risky about this kinda game...some may think, while playing the campaign "why fight so hard, when we know we cant save the planet"

mcroddi5180d ago

I agree, it is very risky however, most halo fanboys wont know anything about the game until they finish the campaign...also, I think most wont even play the story mode and jump straight into multiplayer....also a a sad fact. For the players like you and me, yes - it is risky!

thebudgetgamer5180d ago (Edited 5180d ago )

you knew how it was going to end up but you watched anyways. its getting there that's the fun part.

Fragger2k85180d ago

It really isn't a spoiler.. We all know Reach will be destroyed.

MetalGearRising5180d ago (Edited 5180d ago )

G.O.T.Y 2010 any games coming out on ps3 should be delayed until 2011 because Halo Reach will annihilate all ps3 games line up for 2010.

mrv3215180d ago

Luckily not everyone plays shooters and enjoys varied gameplay

mcroddi5180d ago

This is a classic comment...so funny.

nogolis5180d ago

Possible Space Combat? R&CACIT already did this... What I find funny is that the entire R&C series is the originater of so many gameplay aspects yet never gets the credit for them.

R&C:going commando... It had the spherical worlds way before Mario Galaxy, yet no one ever mentiones that fact.

Hell, star voyager had space combat and it was on the nes. Halo and Microsoft playing catch up yet again.

Mustang300C20125180d ago

WOW,

What makes this sad is that you can tell how serious you are writing your post.

mcroddi5180d ago

Mario Galaxy...:) In a Halo related post! Love it!

Delt45180d ago

Halo 2 had space combat in the first level, for a couple minutes at least. Then it was back inside to disarm the Covenants bomb.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5179d ago

Space combat has been done since Atari and the best IMO was Battlefront 2.

Nice try though

RonyDean5179d ago

Battlefront 2 did have some awesome space combat, would be pretty sweet if Halo did it like that.

KingKionic 5180d ago

Space combat in halo ??!?!?

o.O

mcroddi5180d ago

Well, meaning way out in space not on the planet...

WildArmed5177d ago

lol i was like.. OMG really now?

Then the no-gravity UT3 maps came to mind.

I guess I could enjoy that.

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion482d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad483d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90483d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183482d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90482d ago (Edited 482d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde482d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90482d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde482d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator482d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13482d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183482d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken567d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar567d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos567d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP567d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken567d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149567d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE567d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341567d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90567d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos567d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90567d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai567d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
