Halo Reach Screenshots Touch Down

by Chris Faylor, Jan 26, 2010 11:05am PST

Related Topics – Halo: Reach, xbox 360, screenshots

Following the recent handful of leaked and low-res Halo Reach screenshots, developer Bungie has released a whopping twenty-six screenshots at 1920x1080 each.

Accompanying the barrage were new pieces of concept art and characer bios.

A prequel telling the tale of the doomed titular planet Reach, Bungie's squad-centric first-person shooter hits Xbox 360 in the fall, with a multiplayer beta coming to Halo 3: ODST owners this spring. Presumably, said beta will allow players to sample the game's new Call of Duty-style unlockable perks, such as sprinting and temporary invisibility.

I'm so fucking tired of screenshots like this. Give me ACTUAL FUCKING IN-GAME screenshots, or go DIAF, game developers.

These perfectly rendered shots that they generate by re-drawing the image and enabling 32x AA are fucking bullshit. These are the equivalent of video game commercials that only show rendered animation that doesn't exist in the game. And that's exactly what these screenshots are: THEY DON'T EXIST IN THE GAME BECAUSE IT WILL NEVER LOOK THIS GOOD WHEN PLAYED.

Hmm, looks like Halo 3 smeared with a nex-gen "light fog of gritty realism". I kind of liked Halo being more colorful than, like, Dead Space.

I just hope this actually turns out to be a HD game. While I liked the visuals of ODST fine, upconverting a sub HD image degrades it considerably. A true 1080p game would really be sweet.

Nice, glad they started from scratch, Halo and ODST were pretty ugly. These look hot.

Why is this crosshair off centre though?

After Halo ODST, I think may be done with Halo. Unless they really come up with something special here, I'm pretty bored of Grunts, Elites, etc.
