after playing Fallout 3, GoW, and many other games, Halo 3's graphics look like clay and the spartans look like clay peopl

it just looked too fake

for Reach, it looks much better
but I think its what H3 should of looked like

honestly, they should make a new xbox so that developer arn`t strained using 4 year old tech.
Sure games CAN be made very high quality like this now, but its incredibly hard and has a performance penalty.

Most developers can only take advantage of a console after years of it being out. Imagine a brand new home. You have 24 hours to give a tour, you will know next to nothing. 72 hours later you will have a better idea. It relates to video game development. Developers learn more efficient methods and other ways to accomplish things the longer they have the console.

Consoles should be on a 8-12 year release cycle at this day in age.

I think most 360 graphics suck. But I guess thats just me.
But mind you, I play games like Fallout 3 with over 10 gigs of textures replaced.

Didnt they estimate the 360 to live until 2015??

That's a long time on just 512 MB of RAM!!!

Its not an operating system like a computer though. Most of your RAM on a computer is sucked up by a variety of things. A 360 does use it a lot more efficiently.

Then again, the PS3 has 256mb

we're getting hung up on things that dont matter. the whole point of this thread is to discuss how good (or otherwise) reach is. not the inadequacies of the xbox 360.

thats a conversation for another thread.

True. But a video game on my computer uses at least a GB of RAM. Just the program itself.

And we do need to get back to the topic, but the thing is, we kind of were talking about Halo Reach. We're discussing why some people think it is "crappy". Which I dont think it is. The Reach game we have is a beta. Im not saying they did, but I think they had to tone down the graphics to get it to fit in the 1.15 GB that it did. I bet you guys that the final game will be epic. I just hope they don't rush it and leave out a bunch of features and unfixed bugs.

Like MW2. Im not sure, but why did they leave on Global Thermonuclear war?? And remember all the bugs it had? It need like 4 patches or something like that. lol
