Actually, I think Bungie have shown especially with Reach, that opting for the most impressive textures or animations and putting all your power into that isnt as impressive as it was. 

Because Reach's Engine as a whole is so so impressive. I'm surprised that this level of visuals is done with so much scale and playable area. As well as upping the Ai count to huge levels while improving the AI. 

More devs need to think past the visuals alone. And open up the game world to be far more involving on a grand scale.

I wonder if they are going to be able to fit all of this content on one disc?  I wouldn't mind two discs if it means upgraded visuals and more content, especially multiplayer.  Well, it was just a thought. 

Anyways, Halo Reach is going to be awesome!!

translation, Reach's goal isn't creating the nicest still shots, but going for scales and image fidelity

Really can't wait for this game either. Graphics are good enough, it's the classic Halo gameplay and scale of the battles which I love.



So are these new games now using 100% of 360 capacity?

I've heard people say that 360 is not powerful enough yet these games are getting better and better.  So how far can the developers go to makes games look better on the 360?

Based on Corrine Yu, the ease of developing on the 360 has caused devs not to push the hardware as much as they could (or as much as devs were forced to on the PS3).  Of course this makes me all the more interested in seeing what 343 Industries is up to ...



I'm buying a 360 for this game, period.

Also, I wonder if you can make tunnels using buildings in forge world, I know you can phase objects, but can you make like object rooms hollow when phasing into like a mountain? That would be totally badass if possible.



^  I don't know about hollowing out something solid like a boulder but there are definitely other ways you could make a tunnel.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
