In Response To: Re: My views on Halo 3 (P_40E) : "a lot of the text is uncomfortably small and ill-defined, especially : the lowercase lettering. And if you're going to tell me the game is : designed for hi-def TVs and the text is perfectly clear on those, I'm : going to scream." : I'm sorry to tell you this, but that is exactly the reason. But it's not just
Marathon:Durandal does not. It has a text size preference setting. : I know how you feel, though; I played 360 games on an SDTV until 1 week
: Now that I think about it though, might that be an explanation for some of
No, the game does this on any set. Watch a saved film and pull the camera way back. I was watching a playthrough of "Halo" today. When the Chief and Arbiter exit the control room and scamper up the ledge towards the doorway, you can pull the camera back so far towards the canyon entrance that none of the actors on the ledge-- the Flood, the Chief, or the Arbiter-- are actually visible. As you zoom in, they fade into existence. If you've played Oblivion you're familiar with the effect, it's the same. It's how a lot of modern games treat large open areas with lots of detailed objects. Of course, other games, like Gears of War, eliminate the problem by not having any moving objects in large open areas.
