Forums - Microsoft - VGA's Halo Reach Trailer! ETA 5 hours < Excited?!

Trailer was cool, like all Halo trailers are, but I was rather underwhelmed by the graphics. I guess I shouldn't have bought into the hype so much.

Even thought it's a cutscene, it didn't look anything more than average. =/

This reminds me of how underwhelmed I was with GoWIII's graphics last year. Hopefully Reach redeems itself like GoWIII did.

Halo Reach Trailer looked good, big step up from Halo 3 and ODST.

Reach is going to be EPIC!!! 6 Spartans flying off into a massive battle. Cannot wait for some gameplay footage or screenshots. Engine looks to be a nice step up, though we couldn't really tell much from the footage shown. Elites are coming back in a big way. Should be awesome. I love fighting Elites.

6 player coop?!?! And if they keep the other features like theater mode and all that and STILL upgraded the graphics a lot, it is a testament to what Bungie can do.  There is a reason why great looking games like Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 don't offer some features like this because it would sacrifice some of their graphics capacity.

Oh yeah, Bungie usually keeps and brings new features with each iteration.  Should be interesting to see what they do with 6 Spartans on the field at once.  Also, B.net/Reach integration should be EPIC as well.  Hopefully the gaming press got some gameplay info during the week that were at Bungie headquarters and are allowed to spill the beans shortly.

The trailer sucked :(



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 


Sorry, shit quality.

Graphics have been improved but the style is more like Gears of War now, all dark and gloomy and the elites look more like something out of a horror movie. I guess it suit's since its the darkest days in human history (In Halo).

Can't wait for the media overload in January.

Trailer set up was pretty unimpressive (I was expecting a drop down from orbit onto reach etc) And I can never really get used to the voice actors at first.



Graphics looked on par with Gears of war 2 imo. Not a bad thing at all and It's still a good ways away from release also. Didn't impress me because of how much this was getting hyped to be on par with killzone 2 and it....wasn't close. I don't care what the final version will look like, they said what we would see would blow us away and be on par with Killzone 2. And I can't imagine THAT big of an improvement being made in that amount of time. Again, if it wasn't for running of the mouth I might not have been dissapointed. But then again, I'd still be upset not having gameplay footage like Keighley said it would be. Still, next to getting an announcement that Arkahm Asylum 2 was in the works it was the most impressive trailer, but only because all of the others sucked or showed even less about their respective games.
