SDCC 10: Halo: Reach ViDoc - Forge World

Go outside the canyon a take the whirlwind tour of Forge World -- a new, fantastic point of view fit for way more than just the Blood Gulch remake.

Set on one of the franchise's iconic Halo rings and featuring a multitude of faithful remakes already built in, only Forge World's vaulting blue skies are the limit, allowing aspiring cartographers to take up where our map designers left off. Utilizing the upgraded Forge 2.0 toolset, a familiar, sprawling landscape, and your own imagination to sculpt, build, and share custom crafted maps, Forge World is more than just a map...it's a blank, Forerunner-themed canvas with unlimited creative potential.

Forge World has put me in total AWE! Bungie knows how to cater to their fans by letting them tear up the world they just created. It's simply amazing what they're doing. I'm so hyped for Reach right now! This is Bungie's last Halo game... And they're going out with a bang. We love you Bungie! Keep doing what you're doing. 7hank you!

Warthog KOTH FTW! :D

MerkinMax5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

First, the scale of the level blew me away.
Second, the Forge options blew me away.
Third, the potential map remakes blew me away.
Fourth, the endless possibilities blew me away.

I could go on and on. This is just awesome! Thanks Bungie.

-Alpha5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

In a sense like LBP but what a lot of non-Halo players don't realize is that Bungie had the ability to create, play, and share maps, modes, pics, videos, etc. in Halo 3.

So it's not so much as LBP as it is like Halo 3, but bigger, better, and rightfully so considering it's a sequel to a blockbuster game.

TROLL EATER5024d ago

wah lbp is as full game is 5 % of halo reachs overall content.

StanLee5025d ago

Blown away. Absolutely blown away.

Blaze9295025d ago

i just jizzed all over my keyboard. game of the year 2010 - nuff said.

8thnightvolley5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

seeing that almost made me cry i swear .. much love bungie...

Space_cancer5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

Beyond epic.

The community behind this game will be on fire for years to come. Hell, where can i sign in?!

EvilBlackCat5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

loyalists are like

""mmm i... better go to other news and comment but let me hit some disagrees""

Halo = Fun

So now we say:

Wow this game is so much HALO...

The other day i was having so much HALO with some friends at the park...

Ohhh man that was HALO!

SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A DEVELOPER PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE GAMEPLAY OF A GAME?

i mean all you loyalists better really just cut it and STFU now and go back to your dens.

OK Modder put me the handcuffs and keep defending this ignorant's.

otherZinc5025d ago

As for those that think the Halo World is over after Reach with Bungie, no. 343 has members from Bungie already in it, Halo Creators in it as well as regular members.

Also, they will have this engine to work on future Halo Projects. Bungie is my favorite developer & I'll buy whatever they make next because they've earned that. However, 343 Studios is going to hold the Fort down for the Halo Universe!

SaberEdge5025d ago

Amazing, stunning, gorgeous, fantastic, awesome...

georgeenoob5025d ago

AMAZING!! This vid actually gave me goosebumps, I don't think I ever got those from watching a videogame vid before.

EVILDEAD3605025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

Bungie = My Heroes..

I almost spit out my coffee...

Halo Reach just threw a spear into the heart of gaming..

Forge won awards..Forge World should be worshipped..

GOTY nominee..EASY

It won't win because of the entrenched hate from the people jealous of it's amazing success..but Bungie EARNED it..and it is the title that people will not put down for years

LMAO @ people actually bringing up LBP..let it go..go back to Halo 3..people were creating..sharing..and playing the heck out of Forge long before that game dropped..apples and oranges

September..the game heard round the world..Excellence..

TROLL EATER5024d ago

game of the year? is for 5 hour games on blu ray. halo reach is game of the lifetime

FragMnTagM5023d ago

Forge World alone. The possibilities are just mind boggling considering what the community did with the first Forge mode which seems severely gimped compared to this version.

WOW, I just stared in awe. With my mind clicking to fast about all the things I wanted to do with the first forge mode, but was limited by certain things. This is how you do it when you are done with your IP.

tdogchristy905025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

I got to admit that is pretty impressive. It's stuff like this that make me question why I should adopt the 720/ps4. Things like LBP2 and Halo Reach...just wow, WOW!

It also make me question microft and how they can live up to what Bungie has done with the franchise. After seeing that I'm in doubt as to if I'd ever play a halo game that isn't made my Bungie.

wwm0nkey5025d ago

I dont think a single person could ever complain about this, and with the tagging feature and the ability to have 1000 custom content (of EACH category) Reach will be a hit. Also competitive Firefight is fucking awesome!

SaberEdge5025d ago

The amount of content Reach has is freaking insane. I'll be busy with this game for a long, long time.

SOAD5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

This is why Halo is one of the greatest console shooters ever, in my opinion. Yeah, yeah, people will downplay it by saying we can do it on PC, but Bungie is bridging the gap by giving people the ability to do this.

Halo Reach and LBP 2 are going to one day make things like this standard for console games.

Edit: Jesus, I just finished watching the video. This is the best map editor for the 360. And people thought Halo was getting stale.

jdktech20105025d ago

Couldn't agree more at least about Reach (never played LBP....though I'm interested in 2)

Thrillhouse5025d ago (Edited 5025d ago )

Totally agree SOAD. Bungie has been ahead of the rest in terms of customization (hell, even party systems) since Halo 2.

webeblazing5025d ago

didnt farcry2 had an editor. i wonder if reach is gonna be on 2 disc like odst. the editor do look crazy imma play others map tho

shinoff2183481d ago

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion480d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad480d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90480d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183480d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90480d ago (Edited 480d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde480d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90479d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde479d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator480d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13480d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183479d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Halo’s best Bungie campaign has its worst feature fixed after 12 years

Halo’s best ever campaign mode developed by Bungie has had its most annoying feature fixed after more than a decade, making the sci-fi FPS game better than ever

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken565d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar565d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos564d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP565d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken565d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149565d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE565d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341565d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90565d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos564d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90564d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai564d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
