Exactly 4 weeks ago, a few days after the 2009 Microsoft E3 press conference I googled searched Aaron greenberg's Xbox Live Gamertag to send him a message and commend him on their E3 showing. A quick search on google will help you find that his gamer tag is infact BIGVIP.
Having found this I sent a message to him saying the following,
"Hello Mr. Greenberg, Just saw the Microsoft Press Conference. You guys are doing a great job. And always manage to keep us guessing. Also saw Uncharted 2 from Sony's conference and it looks mind blowing, so when are we going to see some uncharted 2 or killzone 2 graphics on our 360's Sir? "
So on 13th of July exactly at 10:18 AM IST I received a reply from Aaron Greenberg aka gamertag BIGVIP. The following is what he had to say:
"Thanks man appreciate the note wait till you see halo Reach."
This is a clear indication of what Microsoft Game Studios is aiming for with the visuals of Halo reach. Screenshots and a video of the message proving the authenticity of the encounter are after the jump.

GF365: "Oftentimes, video games have characters who are antagonistic and really not very pleasant. Here are some of the friendliest characters in games where you might not otherwise expect to find them."
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
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.
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
Halo’s best ever campaign mode developed by Bungie has had its most annoying feature fixed after more than a decade, making the sci-fi FPS game better than ever
Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?
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.
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.
“ 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.
Nice shubz....
rofl...

There will be games that look better than KZ2 and uncharted 2 before Halo Reach. KZ2 is already passed up and Uncharted 2's art style is down to preference.
I thought Alan Wake was gonna take the title of best looking open-world game, but since its not open-world any more Assassins Creed 2 will hold that title-probably until Agent or Prince of Persia 2.
For FPS I would be REALLY REALLY impressed and surprised if Halo ReachES (see what I did there?) Killzone 2 graphics. I really dont think that its likely, or at least it wont be Bungie (they have too much on their plate)
As for racers people have been arguing Forza 3 vs GT5 for awhile, especially with the whole debacle with Turn-10, but ever since GT5's trailer was confirmed to be %100 real time I think that argument can be put to rest.
Really I mean the best looking playable game Ive seen is Uncharted 2, the best looking game period is The Last Guardian. Never have I seen art style and technical properties of a game being so blended, balanced, so perfectly, it really has a look of its own, and IMO is the best looking game ever.
360 I think can put up a good fight but Ms's refusal to allow custom-built game engines for their games limits the possibilities, who wants to see Gears of War 3 in 2011 instead of 2010 to allow Epic some serious modification to the UE3?
