Halo Reach is looking awesome so far even though it is only beta.

young juice5118d ago

it does look pretty awesome, gonna be huge competition for sony

-Alpha5118d ago (Edited 5118d ago )

Bungie treats all its big titles with the love and care we've come to expect from them.

The single player is using a new engine
The approach is more sandbox for AI
The world is more open
It's a different, darker story
The graphics look artistically gorgeous
The multiplayer is getting a serious makeover
The multiplayer is going through the extensive beta testing that made #3 the most popular online title ever

Single player is getting a big focus and multiplayer is Bungie's expertise. Unless something goes horribly wrong this is a shoe in title for GOTY. Unlike IW they are beta testing through in numerous phases and are leaving room before release to implement changes based on user feedback. Bungie deserves a lot of respect for not being greedy douches who turn their backs on fans like IW did. Bungie really cares for its community and have shown it constantly.

@Hank

It's a prediction based on what is known for the year, relax. People are allowed to have predictions. People predicted UC2 last year long before the game released and look how that turned out.

Edit: Stealth? I edited my comment as you were writing yours, so please get your facts straight. If I was going to stealth I would have denied writing what I wrote instead of justifying it like I did above. Like I said, it's a prediction based on what is known for the year and what is known from how Bungie operates. If some big game is announced at E3 that will come out for this year then I'll be happy to reserve judgment.

Actually, I apologize for saying it's "guaranteed GOTY" and then saying it's a prediction because that is contradictory. Sorry for the confusion. I am certain this will be GOTY based on what is already known and I see no foreseeable game for 2010 that can compete with Reach/Bungie. I didn't mean to "guarantee" it as if its fact, just that based on what is known it's most likely. That's why I edited my comment, but that was during/before you wrote your comment.

Hank Hill5118d ago (Edited 5118d ago )

I love how people claim a game to be GOTY in April without even playing it and without knowing what else will be revealed for this year at E3 and in this case this guy "guarantees" it. Pure hilarity.

EDIT: Nice stealth edit Alpha, your comment originally said you guarantee Halo Reach to be GOTY.

EDIT: Alpha, they also predicted ODST to be GOTY.

LordMarius5118d ago (Edited 5118d ago )

@ the 1st 3 commenters:

No its not

Edit: disagree all you want, you know Im right

young juice5118d ago

soooo... its not gonna be huge competition for sony?

EvilBlackCat5118d ago

a video released means

Fnck WHOEVER SAID THAT!

Gamer7l5118d ago

I agree.....I LOL'd at Sony fanboys doing the EXACT same thing, with Heavy Rain and GOW3. :)

Simon_Brezhnev5118d ago

alpha is just like Dexter Morgan u love to act and pretend but we know who u really are.

-Alpha5118d ago (Edited 5118d ago )

Actually, a couple corrections:

Dexter doesn't love to act or pretend. In fact, he hates it, but he has to do it to fit in and to hide his identity. Why do you think his consciousness, illustrated by his dead father always warns him against putting on a public face towards Rita, the kids, and others in society?

Second, regardless of who you think I am doesn't change the context or invalidate what I say as Alpha-Male. I can be Hitler, Bungie, Osama Bin Laden, or Homer Simpson for all I care, but if I say something then I expect you to actually make a relevant response to what I say. At least Hank Hill called me out on making a judgmental snobby comment (which I edited before I read his comment anyway). I make a judgment call that Reach will be GOTY based on reasoning. No one had a problem last year when Uncharted 2 was hyped to be GOTY, yet the amount of hate against a Halo title on this site or anything positive for the 360 clearly shows the double standard around here.

Halo: Reach = impending awesomeness!

Jedward-5118d ago

Oops bet they wish these were not leaked they look like sh!t.

JOLLY15118d ago

So you admit Halo 3 was a true 3 and not a 2.5?

CryWolf5118d ago

Halo Reach is Halo 2.5 sill a piece of sh!t with out of date graphics.

Fishy Fingers5118d ago

First line of the first screen, "Keep it secret". Nice menu screen.

shinoff2183472d 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.

robtion471d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad472d ago

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

Crows90472d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183471d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90471d ago (Edited 471d 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.

DarXyde471d 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

Crows90471d 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.

DarXyde471d 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.

TheColbertinator471d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13471d 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

shinoff2183471d 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.

SullysCigar557d ago

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

just_looken556d 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.

SullysCigar556d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos556d 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_ESP556d ago

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

just_looken556d 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.

badz149556d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE556d 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.

zidane1341556d 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.

Crows90556d 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.

Profchaos556d 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

Crows90555d 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.

CobraKai556d 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.
