Halo: Reach might be decent. Its future installments of Halo that I worry about, since they won't be made by Bungie.

There are only a couple IPs that ever truly survived "the handoff", that I can recall -- namely Legacy of Kain (Crystal Dynamics took it from Silicon Knights), and Tomb Raider (again Crystal Dynamics.. took it from Core Design).

Every other major IP handoff I can think of went downhill, and fast.

Yep. I have complete and utter faith in Bungie's ability to craft incredible gameplay. Whoever gets a hold of this franchise next, has some BIG shoes to fill. And hopefully, they do not go the realistic look.

My question is why do so many people think every single game needs to have the realistic look like COD and others like that?

This is just one of those things that people like to hold against games that they don't like. Honestly, you can pick on any game about something, and the glaring thing to pick on graphically with Halo is the bright color palatte and (surprise!) sci-fi style visuals. It's not "realistic" as though a game featuring a character that can get shot 70 times in succession and jump 10 feet in the air should somehow feature "realism". Same thing with MGS4, people rip on it for having too many movies, even though that is what the MGS series is all about, fantastic story and amazing cutscenes.

Exactly theres nothing wrong with different art styles. If every single game had realistic graphics style i would probably quit gaming.

not a chance, i love the halo series and always will. i also have complete faith in the future of the halo series, because i believe m$ will have selected the best talent to make sure the next line of halo games are as top notch as bungie's games were.

Halo 3 sold 20k last week even though there's over 10.3m of it on the market.

When Halo: Reach comes it will stomp on Modern Warfare 2 and crush it like a cockroach and say "The king is here BIAAATCH !!!!". (on X360)

It will sell gazilions of copies

Halo is only kiddy because you have yet to grow up. I don't mean this in a condescending way mind you, being 17 is awesome, but really, calling Halo kiddy has nothing to do with Halo and everything to do with your maturity.

My thoughts exactly....

The Halo universe is drenched in colour. It's one of the many elements that set it apart from the pack. There's no place for realistic graphics in Halo games. I personally love the colourful sci-fi aesthetic.

Playing: Borderlands(great co-op,HUGE amount of content),Too Human(better late than never lol),Saints Row 3(Penetrator ftw),Minecraft 360,Harry Potter Lego.

Patiently waiting for: Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2

Was that leaked screenshot of 'Reach' real?
If so it looks like it's going to be the same exact look of ODST.

You would think they could have improved the look a bit since it's been in developement for a while.

Yeah more milking IMO, ODST was garbage IMO and Reach will be the same.

Fuck the prequels and make sequels .
