Bungie: ODST won't run at 720p

MGSIV ran at sub HD too whats your point?

http://www.360-gamer.com/news.asp?id=3548

When asked what resolution ODST would run at, Bakken replied "the same as Halo 3."

When asked if that meant it would run at less than 1280x720, he confirmed "yes, exactly."

As anyone who still remembers the immediate aftermath of Halo 3's launch will know, there was some controversy after it emerged that the game - the then latest instalment in the 360's flagship franchise - ran at a resolution of 1152×640, rather than the 1280x720.

[QUOTE="walkingdream"][QUOTE="ArcticWolf77"]

I don't know why some of you still call it an expansion. Its no longer an expansion. Its a full game.

ArcticWolf77

Which proves what? It was originally an expansion. The project became more ambitious and the game became much longer. Its now a full game. The name has barely changed.(from Recon to ODST), but the game has. Deal with it.

[QUOTE="mitu123"][QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]And... what are you saying? Expansions can't get AAA? :| The Halo 2 expansion -- WHICH ONLY HAD MAP PACKS ON IT ALONG WITH A MULTIPLAYER UPDATE -- received a 8.7. ODST goes well ABOVE AND BEYOND that. :)Fizzman

Yeah, but you have to remember that Halo is garbage and it has horrible gameplay terrible graphics that make people go blind, and blind people go unblind, and then more blind after seeing it.

It's never really mattered to me about resolution. It still delivers.

big deal...

Does bungie really need to do anything to make Halo ODST a sales success? Put halo and the box and the Kids will come!

[QUOTE="walkingdream"] Notice the title "Halo 3 ODST" And bungie even said themselves its an expansion.....it's not their fault Microsoft wants to charge 60$Trmpt

Sure.

And from the Link.

ODST is one of the most curious offshoots of the Halo universe to date - whereas Bungie's numbered efforts in the series have been full-blooded, triple A blockbusters, ODST seems to be suffering something of a personality crisis. First announced as an add-on for Halo 3, its diminutive price tag reflected a dip in scale from the epic canvas on which Halo 3 was painted. Six months later however, it has grown to a full price affair.

"Over the course of development it got a lot bigger than we were anticipating," says Bakken. "We thought of it more as an expansion and then it grew well beyond that. We didn't really talk about it until E3 this year, and it's something internally that Microsoft saw and said; 'What are you talking about - this is a full game.'"

Microsoft Game Studio's Ryan Crosby chimes in; "The scope changed significantly as we went along, and every time we saw it the game got longer, the spaces got bigger, new things were added. Certainly when you sit down with it, it's a lot more than just an expansion pack."

It was a small expansion type game. Now its not. Its quite simple.

So what? It will still score AAA. Bungie always delivers.

Plenty of expansions have gotten AAA.

I hope that all of what they are saying is true and that they arent just tring to hype the game to be more than what it actually is. I'll have fun playing it regardless though. :D

Zomg! How ever will people be able to enjoy it when it is 80 pixels away from HD?!

Where is the magical link to whomever said that MGS4 was sub 720p?.... Oh here it is I found it! http://www.myspace.com/billgates_microsoft

Unfortunately the issue here isn't only that Halo 2/3 isn't in sub 720p, but that it also graphicly can't even math up to most N64 games:

But hey, it's gameplay that matters right? That's why some of 2005's greatest hits can be found only on X-Box 360.

walkingdream

Dude, that is exactly what the game looks like when you take a direct screen grab.

Why are some people acting as if this is a bad thing? Sad that having a bigger resolution makes the game better to some people. aaronmullan

Better? I suppose "better" is an appropriate word, but I think that "tolerable" would be the best description.

Oh...this is going to make the game boring and dull. Oh wait, I don't really care for graphics too much. ODST looks really good anyways. Just not graphics king material.

ODST is a 360 exclusive, that's the point.

I normally don't mind, but anything would have been nice to counter the jaggies. Jaggies and a low res? It's just a bit much for my eyes.

How did you not go blind during the 90's then?Trmpt

I don't know about him but I didn't see lag and jaggies back then. I noticed them when I started PC gaming and had 60 FPS and little in the way of jaggies. It made the console games stand out in a bad way for me.

Anyone else want to disrespect themselves by trying to compare Halo 3 to MGS4?
