That was cool as hell when the Spartan dropped to his knees and admitted that pulse blast that destroyed that Ghost. I didn't even notice that after watching the video 2 times.

Reach looks decent graphically. Not up to 2009/2010 standards but ok.

Obama5174d ago (Edited 5174d ago )

I am surprised that graphic wise it still can't match killzone2, but I gotta admit it does look pretty fun.

Edit: 3 disagrees? I am just stating the truth here.

i3eyond the Circle5174d ago

Go find me the FPS with as many features, maps, players as Halo 3 " a 2007 game"

What FPS has given players a map editor, matchtype customization, theater mode, vehicles, character customization, split screen support online.

Please name any game from 2009/2010 that match.

These standards you speak of....what exactly are they? Graphics at the cut of features that actually make the game FUN???

deadreckoning6665174d ago (Edited 5174d ago )

"I am surprised that graphic wise it still can't match killzone2, but I gotta admit it does look pretty fun."

It doesn't surprise me. The fact that Reach will have 40 AI driven characters on screen at once, Forge, a save and replay, story co-op, online co-op, vehicles, jetpacks, and sandbox environments(things that are oddly absent in Killzone 2) makes it impossible to have Killzone 2's graphics.

Don't know about you Obama, but id take all those features over KZ2's pretty graphics any day. This coming from a person who doesn't even have a 360 and has logged in over 120 hours in KZ2. Keep in mind that all those features I mentioned are only the stuff we KNOW about.

@tronz- I don't understand why PS3 fans on this site hate on Halo so much. Maybe they truly dislike it, idk. I personally thk its jealousy. Theres NO WAY you can be a fan of multiplayer action games and NOT think that Reach is destined to be the best of the best for many years to come.

@pope- Even if KZ3 does match or even SURPASS that 2005 trailer in terms of graphics, it STILL won't have all the features of Halo. Why do you hide behind graphics and NOT mention FEATURES???

The first thing that caught my attention in this video was that this guy needs to tone it down.

@ up above, don't expect the 360 to pull off any miracles, my friend. It's a mid-level PC from 2004, so really, give it a break.

I understand if your subtle bashes are just to piss off fanboys, but people like me who play games just for the sake of fun don't take kindly to our games getting short changed just because they don't meet your perception of what a game from 2009 or 2010 should look like. I think Reach looks great, and has exceptional improvements in the particle effects department, but no doubt it is not Killzone 2-level.

tronz5174d ago (Edited 5174d ago )

Report the PS3 fans in here trolling. That Killzone 2 comment was hilarious because 1) that is your opinion and 2) Killzone 2 is off topic and nothing but flame.

deadreckoning666 makes a point. Halo Reach's technical marvel is far beyond graphics and what Halo is doing can not be compared to other games only offering graphics and nothing else. Compare a corridor shooter like Killzone 2 to Metro 2033. No PS3 fan does for good reason.

EDIT

OK compare games with corridor and small open area level designs with others similar to it like Metro 2033 and not games that have huge open areas with huge battles going on with 4 player co-op, a team of friendly AI's, 40 enemy AIs, 20 vehicles, fantastic AI for NPCs.

saint_john_paul_ii5174d ago (Edited 5174d ago )

i didnt know KZ2 was a corridor shooter. someone please inform me.

seriously bro, lay off the smack.

The sad thing about this is people are going to make a big deal of the graphics that Halo Reach offers at the end of the year and try to overplay what killzone 2 did and try to make it look like KZ2 never happened after the embarrassment that it brought upon the naysayers of it not surpassing that infamous 2005 trailer.

"@pope- Even if KZ3 does match or even SURPASS that 2005 trailer in terms of graphics, it STILL won't have all the features of Halo. Why do you hide behind graphics and NOT mention FEATURES???"

features? please explain...

SixZeroFour5174d ago (Edited 5174d ago )

spartans vs elites is gunna be a better machinima than rvb...lol, grifball the expansion is pretty funny too

but on topic...breakdown was pretty good, caught pretty much everything...wonder if there is a radar jammer armor ability cause there was one point where there was a whole bunch of random enemy radar points and the radar jammer equipment should be gone

btw...lol at saa-pharaoh, seems saaking needed the second account?

beans5174d ago

For crying out loud! Nobody give a crap about KZ2 or 3! It will never hold a candle to Halo Never. Reach looks beautiful and better graphically then KZ2. The difference is KZ2 made more of a shock graphically at the time then Reach is. When the game is finished and we see shots side by side then we make comparisons. After seeing this video there is nothing in want from KZ2 in reach other than the cover system which would probably destroy Halo's perfect gameplay.

DSI5174d ago

The kid in the video was so amped up that he got me all excited about this game.

likedamaster5173d ago

Not surprised fanboys still trolling our Halo threads and getting away with it.

on topic/
Halo's looking better than ever, can't wait.

nycredude5173d ago

deadreckoning

All those features sounds great but there isn't much there that the previous Halo games didn't already have, besides nicer looking graphics. I have Halo 3 and to be as honest as possible, it was like I was playing the Haze demo. Never finished it. I understand why some people may like Halo but it isn't my type of game and all these options are a waste of resources if you ask me.

And all you people saying this looks as good as Killzone 2? Hahahahaha it's obvious you never played Killzone 2. Reach may be a good game (not much different than the previous games) but you guys are hyping up the graphics too much. models look great and it's obvious they have improved the lighting but the environments and textures look bland, just like all the other Halo games.

Don't kill me I am just telling the truth.

@likedamaster
So you own the thread now right? I own a 360 also, and more than likely own more games than you so i am not allowed to check out the 360 threads? I may prefer the ps3 but at least I own and play on both so I can talk, unlike most of you elite fools who have no clue what you are talking about and bash aimlessly cause you don't own the other console and never plan to.

This loser was sitting in waiting for a half an hour waiting to see who he baited with his retarded child-like fanboyism. What a pathetic man-child.

EDIT: and you fell for the bait..

JasonPC360PS3Wii5174d ago

shinoff2183489d ago

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.

robtion488d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad488d ago

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

Crows90488d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183488d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90488d ago (Edited 488d 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.

DarXyde487d 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

Crows90487d 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.

DarXyde487d 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.

TheColbertinator487d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13487d 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

shinoff2183487d 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_looken573d 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.

SullysCigar572d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos572d 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_ESP573d ago

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

just_looken573d 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.

badz149572d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE573d 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.

zidane1341572d 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.

Crows90572d 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.

Profchaos572d 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

Crows90572d 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.

CobraKai572d 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.
