Forums - Microsoft - Top 10 Put To Shame By Halo Reach

Rath on 22 August 2010

It'll be fun. But I really hope the focus is on the main single player experience. I felt that was a little bit lacking in both 2 and 3.

Please, som1 answer this:

You would think that a 50 GB disc will have large amount of game content due to the disk space for developers to play with.. why haven't we seen this yet? With Xbox 360 disc with around 9gb of space...How did Halo Reach fit that amount of content within a single disc...and having more content then Blu-Ray games to this date?


That doesn't make a blue-ray anyless neccessary like the article is hinting towards. The reason the developer haven't strived for "this level of content" is because they see no reason to. This is a staple fact: "Quantity doesn't equal Quality".

Remember blue-ray isn't just for games, if 1080p movies can be packed into 9gb why would the industry adopt Blue-ray and not HD-DVD?

There are a lot of game which breaks the barrier 9 or even come close to 10 with 1/3 of the content Halo reach has.

This doesn't make Halo Reach "The greatest game ever made" or even put other games to shame. Perhaps at this moment Halo Reach "might" push the standard for "FPS" games, but how long till the others developers catch up? Can you dispute that the other franchises with this amount of content isn't in development at this point of time?

I'm sure Halo Reach is a great great great game but the only people who will take this article with more than a pinch of salt will be the Halo FANS. The rest, not very much so.

Halo has been revolutionizing the FPS genre since the original game launched and to to this day 90% of console shooters haven't even come close to what Halo 3 has been able to accomplish.  Halo Reach puts other games to shame plain and simple.

However of course some of this is rediculous such as the Blu-Ray part.  That's just stupid Blu-Ray is amazing.  

But Halo Reach is the King of FPS plain and simple and when Bungie does something they don't do it unless its fantastic.  They are notoriously the most self critical gaming company out there.  That's what is so impressive about Reach its has massive amounts of quanity and quality.

kojima is the most self critical

Funnily enough, the article is a joke article. But the odd thing is it's also got valid points on all of them. 

I haven't read anything here why BluRay is needed apart from the lossless audio, which frankly unless you have paid out for a good seperate system is pretty pointless.

 ...

 I know one example ; Forza 3. If Forza 3 was on Blu-Ray I wouldn't have to buy a HDD for the full game. (no problem as i was planning to buy at least a 20 GB HDD) No doubt GT5 will take more space than even FM3 so I'm gald it's on one Blu-ray disc)

Having an extra 2.8 gb on your HDD is hardly a reason to need 50 gb. Forza 3 tally's around the 10.6 gb mark. Although it has less cars ut of the box than say GT5. t has over 30 tracks more. As it comes with 112 tracks.

 So you made my point that today games are beginning to take more space than one DVD can hold and  it's not just uncompress sound. I have no doubt 1000 plus cars will eat up a lot of space.  You don't have to use the full 50 GB for Blu-ray to be an advantage over DVD.

1 put shame by killzone 3: halo reach assassinations. in killzone 3 you can do them from the front!

though  i would really like to see the two games go head to head as they have similar features and improved multiplayer and scale
