Halo Reach is Sub-HD, catastrophic fail

did some research and found out halo reach runs at 1152x720, which is not 1280 or so required to be considered HD. catastrophic fail, all discussion about halo reach vs killzone 2 or 3 in the graphics department is over. it runs at 30 and sometimes 20 frames per second. sigh, im not a big killzone fan but this should end all "halo reach graphics king" topics, remarks, whatever.

720p is 1280x720... The Halo Reach was 1152x720, technically lower than 720p.

My world has been destroyed. How could the game I looked so forward to be so much fail? :|

so was mgs4;)

Better cancel my pre-order :(

Oh noez... Alpha footage was sub-720p? My world = blown!

Even if it does end up sub-hd, that's not going to be all that noticeable... At all.

Demons Souls is 720p, as are most ps3 games, and it's at least in the top 5 games I've played this gen. So please tell me how this thread's topic is in any way relevant to whether or not the game is going to be good.

Dammit, now you've done it Actic... They're coming for you...

Whatcha gonna do!?

you're right, it won't be noticable, because almost every other major title on a console has the same fault....sub-HD resolution. KGB32

Yeah, there have been quite a few sub-HD titles... People need to get over it.

Delete thread.

Actually..... 720P is HD..... what do you think you watch on TV more than 90% of the time? 1080P (not 1280 or whatever you said) is considered "Full HD", but nonetheless, 720p is still HD. thepoop7

720p is 1280x720... The Halo Reach Alpha was 1152x720. Not a big difference at all, but technically lower than 720p.

so what?reach looks like what they showed in E3 and it looks that way.so many gameplay vids exist out there and they all show that the game runs smooth.other things I don't care.

Didn't catch that, thanks for clearing that up.thepoop7

Soryy, wasn't sure if you just didn't know, or you just missed it. I wasn't out to correct you or anything :P

Bungie is a bunch of overrated hacks. Don't they know the most important aspect of a video game is what resolution it runs at? God console gaming is such fail, always delivering with inferior resolutions. God damn trash. jg4xchamp

I thought the most important aspect of a video game was the foliage...or maybe high res bricks. I can't decide.

I will still enjoy the game TC so wooohoooo for meee

and lol name one good console game that runs 1080p 60 fps

MLB: The Show 09 and mabe 10... Not sure.

Hey it scored 9.0 at GS, but I haven't played it :P

Id say thats more of a slap to the face to killzone. I mean a sub HD game still out scores, out hypes and out sales the ps3s best graphical game....yeabigboss5ak

Guess that makes the modded version of doom better than both.

Didn't feel like a Catastrophic Fail when I played the Beta.

First, there is a sticky... Second, that is alpha gameplay. Third, 1152x720=720p=HD.....wolverine4262

Not quite right. The official definition of HD is achieving the 1 megapixel count. That's why most HD TVs are 1366x768 = 1,049,088 pixels, hence it's HD. A 'Full HD' TV achieves the 2 megapixel count, namely 1920x1080 = 2,073,600 pixels.

1280x720 = 921,600 pixels, 'sub-1 megapixel', hence not HD.

I've yet to see any sub HD game be worse because of it. The only sub HD games that I've played that looked sub HD was the COD games this gen, all other ones seemed to have some pretty good upscaling tricks to lessen the effect, like MGS IV, or RDR. Alan Wake looked like it was probably a good looking game as well.

I highly doubt this will effect Reach's overall look, but of course it will be highlighted here due to people always looking for ownage

Um it still looks good?

I believe it is on the PS3.

Since when is 720P sub-HD, jealous cows.deleterguy

1152x720 isn't 720p.

Plus Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. It's nice but 720p or close to it and a solid 30FPS is enough to do the job.

tubbyc

Yeah, i'm really only a stickler for 60fps in my PC games. I enjoy console games fine at 30fps.

Meh, still looks superb to me.

[QUOTE="Arbiterisl33t69"]RDR is sub-hd??lundy86_4

Yeah, at least I think it is. But you wouldn't know it looking at it. That's why I don't put too much thought into the resolution of a game, as MGS IV showed me a long time ago that resolution doesn't = graphics. The fact of the matter is you can have a 1080p game that looks like poop, and a 480p game that looks awesome.

My two cents anyway.
