Bungie: Our VGA Reach unveil will be all in game. It's not CG

Link

According to their twitter....We'll see. I personally thought Halo ODST was kinda ugly at times

I've always wanted a game that runs seemlessly between cinematic and gameplay with no graphics change, for a long time.

Thank you, Bungie. Except I won't get it cause I don't have a 360. But maybe other devs will try it out.

Well, hopefully the video would have a H.U.D., then I'll believe them.

Even the seemless part? I want it straight from cinematic to gameplay, no black screen, and for a FPS that would be even better. Have the awesome cinematic in first person and keep playing in first person.

MGS4 did a real good job, but most of the sequences were so long, more like watching a movie. You almost forget you're playing a game.

I hope they mean in-game and not in-engine, as they can just use up a lot of the assets to create a little teaser with the latter.

Killzone 2 also did a good job of that.

I think the game wouldve been better had they used loading screens..............my opinion of course :D

Brutal Legend did some of that. I'll just say the demo part so that I don't spoil anymore. Anyways, when you take out the sword and slash Ophelia. It transfers right to cutscene. Very nice. I wish more of the game did that.

I don't know what you guys are expecting over Reach. Bungie has always been about balance and polish over graphics.

I'm expecting Reach to look very similar to Halo Reach similar Halo 3 but with better textures and a larger scale.

Yeah, Reach will look like Halo. This is the Halo universe. Bright colors, nice lighting, pink guns and purple aliens. This is Halo.

Better detailed textures? Sure. But I expect it to be very much Halo.

This was in-game/in-engine...know how that turned out. Yes, they said they changed it because it didn't fit the Halo style, and supposedly they showed some mesh that the final MC had the same polygon count. I still find the pre-MC to be more impressive graphically.

In-game? You mean like this? I'll wait for the beta.II-FBIsniper-II

Sorry, but Bungie has a bad track record on Bull shots. They pulled it with Halo 2, and they pulled it with Halo 3. So, until it is actually being played, I'm not biting.

...well, I'M excited. ...I should run now, should I...?

There are gonna be some major lulz goin' around if this game fails to meet it's fan's expectations. The lemmings are treating it like the second coming of Christ.

Well, Halo 3 & Halo ODST DID look great, so I'm doubtful. *Notices red dot on forehead* ...oh no.

Millions of fanboys are going to get massively owned later today, I can't wait! :D.Rockman999

Killzone 2 also did a good job of that.

You may be right about the loading. The little hickups halfway through a level were distracting. I guess Guerilla figured shorter midlevel loading was better than long individual loads throughout.

I'm also of the opinion that Uncharted 2 did a good job. Hell, the first Uncharted did a good job, they just improved it in the second. Hopefully Reach accomplishes what Bungie set out to do graphically compared to the other games, but I'm not holding my breath.

And to all the people already hailing this game as a "graphics king" of sorts, wait for the video. You know, that one deciding factor that NONE OF US has seen?

After the **** bungie pulled with Halo 3 I'm not passing any judgement till the game is in my hands.

Edit: Not that I think about it, Halo 2's first "ingame" reveal trailer looked NOTHING like the final product

That's what halo 2 was supposed to look like in game, I don't even think halo 3 reached that

Hopefully we'll see some good progress.

I will remain apprehensive. I still remember the 2006 trailer enough to know that any developers can lie... a recent example is Turn 10.

Half life 2?

They said similar things about Halo 3.

Remember the cut scene from the cliff top. Well they said "In Engine", and it was. The trouble is the engine does not look even half as good when it also has to cope with AI, other players, network traffic etc.

Even if you look at "Dragon Age", the cut-scenes are done in engine since they reflect how you configured you character to look. Too bad the actual games graphics don't look anything like the "In Engine" cut scenes.

Moral of the story don't buy into the hype and you may actually enjoy the game.
