Halo: Reach Developer Commentary

For the last month, we've given you the details on the team at Bungie, their thoughts on ODST, the new team at 343 Industries, and details on Halo's fiction and composer. By now you've got the skinny on the Halo universe and franchise, so it's time for creative director Marcus Lehto to go into detail about Reach's gameplay, characters, and weaponry. Take a look at the video below to hear what he has to say over never-before-seen artwork from the game.

wow that was badass

Bungie is going all the way with this game

MGSR THE HD VERSION5887d ago (Edited 5887d ago )

been waiting on video that explains things in this way. i like developers elaborating on their work, cause i hate throwing many predictions left and right.

I can say that there's no fps on any console which offers a huge battlefield that spans over acres with 40 AI and 20 vehicles....if it meant having this kinda detail for polygon models and textures for characters and weapons.

i don't think any dev commentary has gotten me soo pumped up before.We all know that Reach will fall but if Bungie can make the player feel during the campaign that somehow they can save the planet by making them care for the world, citizens and squad mates, then Bungie would have delivered a campaign of epic proportions.

ME2 was my most anticipated game of the year but since i get to play it in just a few days, i can comfortably replace it with Halo Reach.

Bungie5886d ago

yeah

i think Halo Reach will be the Definitive FPS of this generation

Blaze9295886d ago

Well hell yeah, this is Bungie's last Halo game so of course they gotta be going all the way...they 'better' be going all the way.

Can't wait.

The real killer5886d ago (Edited 5886d ago )

Bungie will take all the effort to make this Halo bigger/nicher and badass. Maybe i will buy this game if Bungie past all of the old halo series.

Bigpappy5886d ago

I am ready to fight for "Reach". Is there some sheet or something I have to sign?

Ghostsmoker5886d ago

Reach could become the new definiton of FPS. They really want to create something special ... the gameplay will be awesome!!

xenogamer5886d ago

they answer all the questions i have in my head, it seems to me they had to bend canon a little bit to add The lone wolf to the team, and the whole existance of spartan 3's in reach, ive kept up with all the games, and read all the books, and spent hours on the halo wiki, so ill be dissapointed if bungie decides "well we cant write ourselfs out of this one so lets start breaking canon and making sh1t up". This is my most anticipated game of 2010, but i really wish they would have made a Halo 4 to send of halo with a bang, i really want to know what happened to the chief.

biggest FLOP EVAAAA

256 play LMFAO

The real killer5886d ago (Edited 5886d ago )

I know what you mean believe me, but we have also put more trust in Bungie or give Bungie a chance ;)

I'm not a Halo lover, but halo 1 was very good on the old X-box, since than it's useless and overhype.

If this game will better than Halo 3 than i play this game on the real 360 pure exclusive on my 360.

Give Bungie some trust :)

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion1163d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad1163d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows901163d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff21831163d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows901163d ago (Edited 1163d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde1163d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows901162d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde1162d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator1163d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent131163d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff21831162d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken1248d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar1248d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos1247d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP1248d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken1248d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz1491248d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE1248d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane13411248d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows901248d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos1247d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows901247d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai1247d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
