Do we know when Reach develpment started?

I did a google, and didnt find anything, so I'll ask you smarty-pants. Do you know when Reach and its engine started development? Because if it started after or maybe even before Halo 3, I would be pretty confident for some very pretty graphics. But if it started at the same time as the announcement trailer, and a summer 2010 release date, I wouldnt be expecting to much in terms of teh grfxs.

It probably entered development right after the release of Halo 3.

Depends on how you define "development". The creative teams (writing and concept art) probably started while Halo 3 was wrapping up, but the real grunt work (pun!) likely started in late-07 (ie November/December)/early-08.

When They got enough money from H3.

I would guess somewhere near Halo 3's launch.

We need some more info nao :cry:

That would have been about an hour after release

Lol. Thank you, Capt. Obvious. :P

Several sources confirm that the Germans started the development of Halo Reach in 1944. Development seized a year later for still unknown reasons.

Bungie get money from retailers. So they got paid before release.

Hey, the captain obvious picture is based off of Captain America so I will take that as a complement, thank you very much:P

I wonder if development started before Halo 3 because of the time needed to build a new engine.

i'll bet it's not really a new engine. more like how Halo 3's engine is a modified Halo 2's engine. and Halo 2's engine is a modified...well, you know what i mean.

We don't know a thing about Reach yet.

I kinda hope MS finish last this gen. They need to be knocked down a peg, much the same way Sony has been this gen, and have come good 'cause of it.

The way MS does buisness is great for them, but it limits there gaming ambition.

3 year dev cycle.

I just dont think Halo can have amazing graphics. Its a series all about huge corridors, rediculously sized architecture and large ramps. The series artsyle is too simplisitic to look amazing imo.
