Specially this one..LOVED IT

Munky5917d ago

I find the character models still very "halo-esque", which is not a bad thing at all but I personally was hoping for a lot more from Reach graphically. And I know I'm going to get some disagrees for that statement but it's true, I was hoping for Reach to be a major upgrade graphically from the Halo 3, enough to rival certain PS3 titles. Now with that being said that doesn't lower my excitement for the game at all as I'm a huge Halo fan (read majority of the novels & played all the games), because I do realize that the game is still not even in Beta, and they got roughly 8 months to go until it's released... yada yada yada. I just have accepted the fact that Reach will most probably not be a beast when it comes to graphics, but what it will be is the best Halo game ever, and their is no reason to be upset over that. Good gaming folks... Peaz

Fanb0y5917d ago

It's Halo-esque due to the art style. What would you expect?

The level of customization here is great! The armour pieces only being visual is somewhat of a letdown - I want them to affect me in some way - but doing so would be bad game design. Why reward players who played longer with the ability to kill others faster?
Halo's always been about balance.

From all the new info we've been getting, Reach is going to be the ULTIMATE online shooter. It literally has everything the ideal, dream shooter would have, plus more.

Ace_Shooter5917d ago

dude, except for some minor details, they look almost the same lol
and he did say "halo-esque"

Gish5917d ago

@ fanboy

The upgrades are cosmetic only?? I hope thats not the case. There is so much potential in specing out your spartan in certain areas. Am I reading your post wrong?

Deuce Bigalow5917d ago

Primed to be the best multiplayer game of the generation, if not all time.

Dnied5917d ago

Screw what it looks like lol the features are lookin great
Interface too..

I'm just a bit worried about the um.. ..jetpacks..

"dude, except for some minor details, they look almost the same"

-uhm the pics only show the difference in charachter models, no environments, lighting etc, so those "minor details" all add up to make Reach look much better visually than Halo3, >>>zoom in on the pics N4PS3G linked (I used the "snap" feature from Windows 7 to compare them side by side) and just look at the difference in the details between the armour and the weapons, they are alot more grittier, you can see the ridges in his gloves, "UNSC" labels on his helmet, dirt, color all the way down to scratch marks= none of which are present in the Halo3 pics. Anybody can ignore the differences between 2 games and just say what you said "dude, except for some minor details, UC2 looks almost the same as the first one". lol, truth is theres some huge differences between the 2, just like with Reach and on top of that lets also remember the game is far from fininshed and of course what really matters a helluva lot more to Reach than graphics is the superb gameplay Halo is known for and of course all the creative features and concepts Bungie is working their asses off to put in the game.

JOY

SixZeroFour5917d ago

@Gish - nope, he is right, its all just for you to customize and personalize the look of your own specific spartan, but it IS going to be used in both multiplayer and single player as well as the cutscenes...its basically so that you can further differentiate yourself a bit more from the countless others playing REACH

@Munky and Ace_Shooter - damn, i was hoping for a GeOW-esque game while playing HALO...its like you want the fps genre to have one specific "look"...this is the halo universe we are playing, why would you expect it to look like anything else? honestly

did killzone 2 not look like killzone 1 except with minor/major graphical enhancements? did GeOW 2 not look like GeOW 1 with graphical enhancements? what do you expect when playing a certain franchise? for it to completely change its look and completely abandon what its known to look like?

The game already looks better then Halo 3.

Fishy Fingers5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

Yeah of course, Halo 3 is poor (visually) by today's standard. Dont get touchy (hardcore) fans, I personally think it is. Reach look's much better, darker, a more mature Halo hopefully.

Bnet3435917d ago

That's because today's standards are realism with brown and gray colors. I don't think there is a more polished and feature filled game then Halo 3 and soon Halo Reach. Of course you can say "Well Reach doesn't look better than Killzone 2" That's true, but Killzone 2 had a campaign and online multiplayer and it stopped there. Did not even have online coop. People just like to focus on the graphics way too much and disregard everything else. It's a sad thing to see. I enjoyed Halo 3's colors over the usual brown and gray.

005917d ago

It would be cool if they release free DLC though out the games life to increase re-playability. Reach is going to be so fun.

SixZeroFour5917d ago

if its like halo 3, theyll release dlc at a cost when its new, but then make it free when they release new dlc

GR8 15917d ago

G.O.T.Y. 2010 enough of conversation.

That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.

Reaper22_218d ago

So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.

Tacoboto218d ago

Complaining about Microsoft is the only thing people comment here for anymore.

This website is practically dead without it

Mmmkay217d ago

I remember when you guys constantly complained about Sony remaking and remastering games. Guess it is cool now. As usual.

thesoftware730217d ago

Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.

"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

medman213d ago (Edited 213d ago )

@thesoftware730
I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.

Travesty218d ago

So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..

monkey602218d ago

I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place

Travesty218d ago

Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.

jjb1981218d ago

I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.

crazyCoconuts217d ago

Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters

Inverno218d ago

Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.

JEECE217d ago

There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.

Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.

isarai218d ago

Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it

franwex217d ago

30% profit margins! People will pay $70+ for remakes!

Software_Lover217d ago

I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.

TheColbertinator218d ago

Can they remake Reach too with the multiplayer?

Knightofelemia217d ago

I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.

This collab proves that New Halo games coming to Playstation: CONFIRMED

The last pillar has fallen XD

Tedakin297d ago

I mean Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox in 2 weeks. It has a Playstation Studios logo on it. The first pillar has fallen.

lukasmain297d ago

LOL you think a live service game is a Playstation pillar? hahahahahaha

1Victor296d ago

The first pillar has fallen.
🤦🏿 Well the competitor’s house already got 2/3 pillars down and the 3rd one is rotted to the core about to fall any minute now bringing down the glass house of cards down FOREVER 🤣
THE WAR IS OVER DEAL WITH IT

Reaper22_295d ago

It doesnt matter. You can get playstation stuff on PC. That pillar fell a long time ago. And next gen it will continue to fall.

Tedakin297d ago (Edited 297d ago )

@lukasmain Their one successful live service game, and their most successful game in the last few years. Yeah I do.

lukasmain297d ago (Edited 297d ago )

It's not a pillar. Expect ALL live serviice games to come over. That includes that upcoming Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls as well at some point. But the PILLARS are the amazing single player games. The games they built their brand on. Helldivers LAUNCHED on PC. It's not a Playstation Pillar

Still have my Silent Hill 1 copy

P_Bomb321d ago

So do I! It goes for a nice sum these days, but I ain’t sellin’!

Puty321d ago

Can we have SH1 on PS Store?

SimpleSlave321d ago

It's crazy to think that GOG will have Silent Hill 1/2/4, Dino Crisis 2, and Resident Evil 2/3 before the PSN. What the actual fudge is Sony even doing over there?

FinalFantasyFanatic321d ago

I will probably pick up Silent Hill 1 right away if GOG gets it, I grabbed BOF4 as soon as it was released, haven't picked up Dino Crisis yet since I already bought it on PS.
