No doubt, the ball's definitely in their court. As I was playing Assassin's Creed 2 last night, and as I was scrutinizing some of the cool things the game does visually, I think it's more and more reasonable to expect models close to the level of impressiveness as what I saw in that Reach cutscene.

The Reach cutscene models are impressive, but sure as hell achievable in real-time. A lot of aspects in that cutscene, perhaps besides the exorbitant amounts of antialiasing and likely also the quality of the shadows --possibly even the self shadows as well -- all look completely achievable in my view.

I see no reason the lighting wouldn't be possible. It basically all comes down to just how impressive really is Bungie's new game engine. Even if the texture resolution compared to that cutscene is toned down some on the character models, the game still looks great. I think, unlike was the case with Halo 3, they've ensured that their reveal of this game is a much more realistic one. They didn't even attempt to bs with the real-time visor reflection. Anyway, we'll see more from the game this month!!

"I'm holding the new issue of Game Informer. Drooling over the cover story. This issue also has a surprising developer announcement!"

He confirmed on the 4th that it is, in fact, a 360 title.

GI always has a cover story about games released almost a year later. New information will be scarce I suspect, just like every other cover story by them.

The information will not be scarce and they aren't the only magazine that will have a Reach blowout. This stuff will be substantial. We won't just be seeing the multi, we'll be seeing more of the SP campaign as well, and Bungie is going to further compound this explosion of information with some stuff on their end as well.

This month will be a very good month for Reach.

sweet mary, just has such an epic feel to it!

Also check this out hmmmm
Bungie fans, be on red alert: the developer has confirmed there is a “super secret” multiplayer mode for Halo: Reach.

Announced during a listing of events the developer is holding during its annual Winter Pentathlon, it made a brief mention of the mode. Not much else was said other then that.
“Some number of players will square off against some number of other players in what will undoubtedly be a rousing and highly competitive game of something we’re not talking about yet!
“Points awarded for doing all kinds of untold stuff!” said the dev.

I believe that huge thing in the back is one of the Reach orbital guns!

I like what I'm seeing, Bungie is definitely planning on channeling the books, only with a cool twist.

It's probably a big sattelite dish. Unless it was shot down, and Orbital gun would be in orbit ;) I would love to see them in action, though. Some zero G battles with bad ass space battles in the background would be orgasmic!...

After keeping the gaming public waiting for months, Bungie is finally revealing the details behind its stunning new prequel game, Halo: Reach. Game Informer's February cover story has 10 pages of exclusive details, screenshots, and art to sate your curiosity.

If our magazine story isn't enough for you, we'll be updating our Halo: Reach hub throughout the month of January, with glimpses at the Halo franchise, profiles of the fine people of Bungie and 343 Industries, as well as expanded details on the new game. Keep checking back all month to get the full story of everything we know about the game.

Bungie Weekly Update

http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topne...

A number of references to the game. Some previously untextured and pretty barren models now seem to be receiving shaders and textures and other fine touches. He even speaks about some significant upgrade recently to their water tech.
You should also be on the lookout for some Euro mag lovin’, too. While Game Informer has you covered stateside, there should be several overseas publications pimping Halo: Reach. Damn fine way to ring in the New Year, eh?

We'll have some new assets around these here parts too, but you'll have to wait a little bit longer for those. We're not in the business of stepping on toes. Sit tight.
