Someone said it was CGI? Must have been a setup scenario for Bungie to come back and respond. I don't know how anyone could make that mistake.

Yaknow all MGS4 cutscenes were ingame too, and they were more breathtaking than that one. Not to invite a comparison here, just saying that the CGI comment is just so ridiculous.

Also, there is a difference between a cutscene "ingame" and what the game will play like. Ingame cutscenes are scripted and are never something you should expect from the actual gameplay.


You have to watch it in HD, not in a gif to get the full effect. It looks much better than the cutscenes in MGS4, which give themselves away with the often low-res clothing textures.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

If the graphics on the commercial are in game, then it's the best looking game I've seen on consoles except for maybe Uncharted 2 and Killzone.

There is a lot of efficiency to get graphics this level as well as actual draw distances and fast paced gameplay, so as a technical achievement, it probably rivals any game thus far released, considering it is on the Xbox 360, assuming the trailers and the scale are to be believed. However, Gears 3 might give it a run for its money, knowing Cliffy.

Yes, for what it achieves, with what it has to work with, this game has very good graphics. The graphics will score perfect for the game at a lot of review websites.

completly agree with this post.  Graphically Halo Reach is the best thing I've ever seen on consoles.  NOT because it has best animations / textures / effects or whatever.  Killzone has better looking "visuals" but is also a very confined shooter.

The fact that Reach can render environments this massive in this amount of detail with 60 on screen friendly and enemy AI as well as tons of vehicles, and huge draw distances is astounding.  This will be one of the first games that truly feels like a planetary war.

I'll put it this way. This was the first game that my mom got confused with a movie trailer when we first saw it on TV. That's big.

I actually hate Halo, and I'm hyped for this game. With those commercials I've seen already...it's gonna be bigger than we thought.

thats a big improvement over halo 3. well halo 3 had some of the worst graphics i have ever seen, but i still dont like the sci fi feel of the game.


What's wrong with Sci-Fi feel? Would you rather have gray generic hallways? Sci-Fi is the best kind of feel to have, imo.

It wasnt someone it was good old GameTrailers themselves. They put it up as a CGI Trailer. 


You realize that that was just some code monkey who takes emails with new trailers, posts a tag, and sticks them in the correct game right? Gametrailers isn't some giant mechanical meta-mind supercomputer, analyzing every detail and coming to the conclusion it's CGI. This was just some dumbass who's lazy and not good at his job. Anyone with half an ounce of technical knowledge can tell you that's not even close to CGI, even from the mid-90s, much less current levels.

I agree with Hence why I am laughing at him with you. 

Well I agree to the point where you say 90's CGI is better than todays gameplay. It's not even close. Mid 90's CGI lacked any details and suffered from poor animations. Check the best from that era FF7 and 8.
