Exactly 4 weeks ago, a few days after the 2009 Microsoft E3 press conference I googled searched Aaron greenberg's Xbox Live Gamertag to send him a message and commend him on their E3 showing. A quick search on google will help you find that his gamer tag is infact BIGVIP.
Having found this I sent a message to him saying the following,
"Hello Mr. Greenberg, Just saw the Microsoft Press Conference. You guys are doing a great job. And always manage to keep us guessing. Also saw Uncharted 2 from Sony's conference and it looks mind blowing, so when are we going to see some uncharted 2 or killzone 2 graphics on our 360's Sir? "
So on 13th of July exactly at 10:18 AM IST I received a reply from Aaron Greenberg aka gamertag BIGVIP. The following is what he had to say:
"Thanks man appreciate the note wait till you see halo Reach."
This is a clear indication of what Microsoft Game Studios is aiming for with the visuals of Halo reach. Screenshots and a video of the message proving the authenticity of the encounter are after the jump.

There will be games that look better than KZ2 and uncharted 2 before Halo Reach. KZ2 is already passed up and Uncharted 2's art style is down to preference.
I thought Alan Wake was gonna take the title of best looking open-world game, but since its not open-world any more Assassins Creed 2 will hold that title-probably until Agent or Prince of Persia 2.
For FPS I would be REALLY REALLY impressed and surprised if Halo ReachES (see what I did there?) Killzone 2 graphics. I really dont think that its likely, or at least it wont be Bungie (they have too much on their plate)
As for racers people have been arguing Forza 3 vs GT5 for awhile, especially with the whole debacle with Turn-10, but ever since GT5's trailer was confirmed to be %100 real time I think that argument can be put to rest.
Really I mean the best looking playable game Ive seen is Uncharted 2, the best looking game period is The Last Guardian. Never have I seen art style and technical properties of a game being so blended, balanced, so perfectly, it really has a look of its own, and IMO is the best looking game ever.
360 I think can put up a good fight but Ms's refusal to allow custom-built game engines for their games limits the possibilities, who wants to see Gears of War 3 in 2011 instead of 2010 to allow Epic some serious modification to the UE3?
