skeeuk - why can't you just admit HALO ODST will outsell ALL of son'y first party offerings COMBINED this holiday?

I will gladly place a wager on that

Why? Because it has absolutely nothing to do with this game's resolution running below HD. If a 360 fan posted this, would you have replied in the same way?

I'm gonna go back to playing Halo 3 now...

The difference between 1152x640 and 1280x720 is 128x80.  See the two rabbits? That pic is 128x80.

 

If that measly amount of pixel loss is necessary for halo to run smoothly then so be it. I seriously doubt the scaler in the 360 is going to be stressed.

Thank you so much. Sub HD actually isn't that big a deal. As long as a game isn't 480p, it shouldn't matter (unless of course the graphics just look ass ala Fracture, where you can actually see blocky pixels)

They need to focus on halo reach, and this odst thing was supposed to be an expansion.
Now it will be a refurbished expansion augmented into a full retaill game.
Be happy for it not being only a download game with the exactly same graphics as halo 3.

you're getting another full halo to explore with graphics that you enjoyed on halo 3, so you'll enjoy it now despite being dated. don't complain.

OH NOES.

Seriously, this is a complete non-issue.

Fans of Halo aren't complaining.  People that don't like Halo are trying downplay the game.

yep graphic whores what they are. proud mtf's

Oh no! Halo ODST's resolution is going to be only 80% of 720p resolution. I'm guessing that 20% difference in pixels is going to make this game absolutely horrible looking and crush the sales.

Yeah, right. Skeeuk, I know you really want everything 360 to fall face-first in the dirt, but you've got to start coming up with better stuff than this.

Damn man. Hate of halo is strong with you.

If you read the Bungie interview on VGchartz homepage you will find out that Halo ODST is as long as Halo 3 if not longer if you take your time with the story.

Also last time I checked this game will have 4 player split screen coop. Anyone that is not a graphics whore will accept a 4 payer coop trade off for lower resolution. Besides graphics have shown to not matter as much as gameplay this gen. Only a few die hards are left putting slow motion Killzone 2 gifs in their sig...rest of us don't really care.

And if one is a die hard graphics whore...WTH would you have a console? PS3 or 360...

haze it's better game than killzone 2 because it have 4 split screen co op! confirmed!

take into consideration kz2 have more bear able story and enviroments and bots to boot.

It also to 5 years to make such a short storyline ( beat it in 7 hrs) and be forgettable just 4 months after release....

Someone (maybe Zen?) was talking about Halo 3's SP and how ODST might offer more content, but according to this interview ODST's campaign will be shorter than Halo 3's:

http://www.msxbox-world.com/xbox360/news/article/10529/Halo-3-ODST-to-be-shorter-than-Halo-3.html

"Halo 3 offered a campaign in the region of 5-8 hours depending on difficulty and so to hear that Halo 3 ODST is going to be a shorter game is quite surprising."

Couldn't be bothered with a new thread.
