It's hard to believe they're using a new engine for Halo 4.

Patriots_Pride4457d ago (Edited 4457d ago )

I am not sure how the Bungie MS relation thing works sine they have now splitted from MS but if I am not mistaken Bungie owns the Halo engine that made the old Halo games and MS would have to pay Bungie to use it.

I do not see MS paying Bungie to use a very old engine so more than likly Halo 4 is using a new engine - plus MS knew Bungie was leaving way in advance so they had plenty of time to work on a new engine.

Edit:Not saying that your a lier but can you please provide me with some source where 343i confirmed that.

Also Reach was a modifed Halo 3 engine which Bungie owns, Bungie are also using a modified Reach engine to make there new game.

Like I said above I do not see MS paying Bungie to use the Reach engine.

tokugawa4457d ago

its not a new engine, just a revamped reach engine

RedDead4457d ago (Edited 4457d ago )

Bungie are using a revamped Reach Engine for their new game, I dunno why you think 343 are using it too tokugawa, I haven't seen any info on it

Also, Reach looked miles better than H3 as well

Fishy Fingers4457d ago (Edited 4457d ago )

IMO it's a little early for the comparisons, although I realise it's an easy "article" for them to whip up. Few hits.

Still, why compare 3, not Reach? To show more improvement perhaps? But there has been essentially 2 Halo games between them (tech wise at the very least). 5+ year gap.

Mike_Tha_Hero4457d ago

Exactly. People on N4G have no lives. Striving to do the lamest things for hits.

tigertron4457d ago

The gameplay trailer is going to be released later today so we'll see more.

tokugawa4457d ago (Edited 4457d ago )

its just an optimised reach engine that they are using. look on the net

i just hope that they create a new engine for the next gen...

Patriots_Pride4457d ago

Has this been confirmed? Please provide link to article where 343i confirmed this.

dark-hollow4456d ago

So is that bad news?
Optimized old engine (not that reach engine is very old) can look very good.

It takes a lot of time and money and a lot of reconsideration to build a new engine from the ground up.

Gears 1 and 3 technically both are running unreal engine 3 but yet gears 3 look way better due to optimization to the engine.

mcstorm4457d ago

I am looking forward to seeing what 343 do with Halo. From what I have seen of Halo CEA and heard about Halo 4 I think they could make the Halo name even bigger than Bungie did and I also think they will make it a better looking game too.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii129d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies129d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer166d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog166d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned166d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c166d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb166d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies166d ago (Edited 166d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal166d ago (Edited 166d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72166d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman166d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos165d ago (Edited 165d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows165d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72177d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai177d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ177d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil177d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
