Digital Foundry: Halo Reach PC First Look: 4K60, Enhanced Mode vs Original Mode + More!
- Thread starter chandoog

Just watching this now.
So weird seeing the reticle in the middle of the screen instead of its usual Bungie lower position.
Hope the enhanced mode makes it to console.
Enjoyed the analysis. Roll on December.

I really want to play Halo 3 but I don't have an xbox anymore nor a gaming pc. Could this run on a laptop?
the good games people care about aren't coming until later unfortunately
jk everyone should play reach if you haven't it's great
Yes, if Reach runs on almost everything, Halo 3 should be the same
The first thing I remember in my time playing Reach on Winter Contingency was that awful motion blurring especially on foliage - cannot wait to play the game nine years later in crisp clear 4K.
The game looks fantastic without the 360's constraints, I don't think I ever truly appreciated how strong Bungies art direction was for this game until now.
Kind of. It is a prequel, so yea.
With that said, it might "ruin" the other entries from a quality of life/design wise/etc. perspective if you play it first.
Fantastic
never used rhe microsft store that much, will this game have a preload with game pass ?

they are currently working on that. As of right now you can think of it as locked 60 and update after launch until they say they fixed the issues though
I am beyond stoked to play this again with fantastic visuals and performance. It's a slight bummer they didn't remake this and 3 the way 1 and 2 were but I absolutely understand why. the work they're already putting into the MCC for all this is staggering and highly commendable.
I think so. I see it's $9.99, but I don't know if you are forced to buy the MCC first or not.
8 GB of ram????
I only have 4, what happens if I try to run it?
It's a prequel, but only by three months. The time between each Halo game is surprisingly brief. The Fall of Reach begins in July 2552, and the Human-Covenant War is over by December of that year.
Every Halo game developed during the Bungie era, Halo Wars aside, is set in the final year of the Human-Covenant War. Wars is a prequel, but it's largely forgettable and inconsequential to the rest of the series. If you want to play that, it's already available on PC, through Steam or Game Pass.
Thanks!
JFC, you can run this thing @ 4K with a 770 XD My 2080ti is gonna be like "wtf is this??".
Watching that footage, this port is looking top of the class. They clearly haven't messed around with this, MS have big, BIG hopes for Halo returning to the competitive scene with this.

Probably can't go THAT crazy with the render scale if you want to go north of 120hz, but even then it would only be momentary framerate dips during the most action heavy moments you'd be dealing with.
In other words, talking about the other end of the spectrum, rest easy: you can run this thing on your smart fridge.
Yeah, my RTX 2070 is going to yawn with this at 4K60.
I will run this gem 4k/60 downsampled with my glorious GTX970.
You should try 4k/144hz or 8k downsampled if you don't have a 144hz monitor.
I was asking a genuine question....
Probably poor performance. Most lists are a guideline but going below the recommended could either lead to poor performance or not even starting.
I wonder if that's more of a requirement on the MCC launcher side of things (and then Win 10) given how it hooks all the games together.
Or they do something way out there for Reach asset-loading . :s
