Halo Lookin’ Good on Xbox 360
Halo and Halo 2 fans rejoice. The backwards compatability feature of the Xbox 360 just got better. There’s been confirmation from Bungie - Halo’s developer - that Halo and Halo 2 will play in wide screen at 720p on the new console.
Behold the transformation:
The Xbox 360 is looking better and better to me each passing day.
Here’s what Bungie had to say on the subject:
Thank you for supporting Bungie, Halo and Halo 2. You guys rock, and we love you. It’s the anniversary of Halo 2, the game that launched on November 9th, 2004 and forever changed the way we curse.
A year after Halo 2 arrived in stores, and almost four years since the original Halo, it seems only logical that we should make them prettier right? Although that prettiness has a relatively high entry point – the arrival of a new generation of hardware in the shape of the Xbox 360.
A while back, Microsoft announced that the 360 would have some level of backward compatibility. A handy feature for folks with big Xbox collections moving into the future. We worked closely with that team to ensure that Halo and Halo 2 both performed according to plan. That meant a lot of work for our test team.
To clarify, the “new” version of Halo or Halo 2 is simply the disk you have already. Pop it into your 360 and it’ll load up just like before. You will have to log into Xbox Live to enable Halo 2’s online functions, but both games will work immediately.
Gotta love ‘em.
