Oh. He has it early. *jealousy kicks in ever so slightly*

JaggedSac5203d ago

Bungie hasn't even entered the beta phase of development, so unless this is from the future, it is a complete fabrication.

The Happy Baby5203d ago

I'm still puzzled as to why there is no video of this.

StanLee5203d ago

Actually, it's completely plausible that there is a close beta at this moment as the game's multiplayer moves from alpha to beta stage. It's not uncommon for there to be closed betas before a larger, public rollout.

Noctis Aftermath5203d ago

These are either fake or intentionally leaked, because why wouldn't they release gameplay screenshots/footage instead of title screen pictures if it were real?

MisterNiwa5203d ago

Goddamn! Im so jealous because Halo: Reach is sooo different from every other Halo!
I mean it has sooo good looking graphics, its unbelieveable!
And the gameplay is the best ever made!

Wow.. i feel dirty.

JaggedSac5203d ago

Actually, this was from the latest Bungie update:

"Builds are coming in at a blistering pace as the team continues to drive hard and fast towards the ever looming Alpha branch."

So, no, there is no closed beta right now. I wasn't even referring to the public beta. The game has not entered the beta phase, public or internal.

StanLee5203d ago

Thanks for the update. I appreciate the clarification.

otherZinc5203d ago

Someone show us a video, something, 20 seconds of game-play would be just fine!

darthv725203d ago

Sonic adventure and after burner climax!

SoX FireBlade5203d ago

I must say that those who made the fake betas look good

some of them really looked good for a main menu

darthv725203d ago

when the actual beta does come out...the title screen looks surprisingly familiar.

hmmmmmmm....

Doesn't this happen (sort of) often?

FanboyAttack5203d ago

Someone is pretty gullible if they think this is a real video.

DirtyLary5203d ago

We saw it on the internet, it's true!

mjolliffe5203d ago

Your pretty gullible if you think this is a video :S

It's two pictures...

Fanb0y5203d ago

Sheesh, we already know what the real menu looks like at the moment (orange color scheme with that giant rock off to the distance).
And someone who really has the game would leak gameplay as well, or nothing at all.

FAKE.

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.

robtion481d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad482d ago

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

Crows90482d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183481d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90481d ago (Edited 481d 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.

DarXyde481d 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

Crows90481d 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.

DarXyde481d 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.

TheColbertinator481d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13481d 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

shinoff2183481d 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.

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

just_looken566d 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.

SullysCigar566d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos566d 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_ESP566d ago

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

just_looken566d 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.

badz149566d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE566d 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.

zidane1341566d 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.

Crows90566d 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.

Profchaos566d 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

Crows90566d 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.

CobraKai566d 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.
