Halo 1 And 2 In Hi-Def On 360

Posted by Zonk on from the presents-from-the-bungie dept.

Bungie has confirmed via one of its weekly updates that Halo 1 and 2 will be playable on the 360. Moreover, they'll look even better as gamers will have the option of watching in 720p as opposed to the original console's 480p. From the article: "But here's another bonus - the hardware in the 360 can do a lot of nifty stuff, and specifically in the cases of Halo and Halo 2, it can display the graphics in wide screen, at 720p, with full scene anti-aliasing. And it doesn't look kludgy, artifacty or smeary like an upscanning DVD player. The best way to describe it is that both games look like they're running on a PC at those resolutions."

    So your new $999 360 bundle makes a game look as good as your $500 PC? And you have to buy the game again?

    Right.

    You mean in 20 frames per second with dynamic lighting and shadows disabled unless you spent more on the graphics card than the PC?
