Bungie: Halo Reach bending the Xbox 360 to its limits

**Ross** · 23-01-10, 01:49 PM

With Halo: Reach on the horizon this year, Bungie has been talking up the game quite a bit. According to some recent comments made by the developers, Reach will push the Xbox 360 to its limits.

In an interview with Edge Magazine [via Joystiq], Bungie revealed that unlike ODST, Halo: Reach will be running on a new engine that is “bending the Xbox 360 as far as it’ll bend.” The previous title, ODST ran on the old Halo 3 engine which is already over three years old. With the new engine, the graphics, AI and physics have been dramatically improved.

Creative director of Bungie, Marcus Lehto stated, "We are… taking every advantage of everything on the CPU and GPU, and every bit of memory in order to produce the look of Reach beyond anything of Halo 3.” Its good to see that Bungie has decided to push the limits of the Xbox 360 and not just resting on its laurels. Lehto attributes the developers technical prowess to the years spent developing on the Xbox 360.

Hopefully this will be something a bit different. I don't really feel like being persuaded to buy Halo 3 three times in a row. Not that anything is wrong with Halo 3 it's just i've already played it to death.

Its looks like its going to be really good. From what I got from the trailer it makes it seem like its going to be a very team based game.

It better be good halo wars wasn't bad, it was a good change but halo reach is gonna be a 1st person or there gonna make a 3rd person game. just hoping its not gonna be another halo 3

Pretty sure its going to be a first person shooter like Halo 3, just with a different spin on it.

I want it to be 1st person, just with a new spin like Ash said. Some new game modes and wepons would be nice too.

You never know it might end up looking as good as Killzone 2......Well maybe.
