Calvin Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 The reason why I'm asking is that I'll be entering a Halo tourney here in Rhode Island. It's gonna be held at a cinema that has recently been renovated. I'll post something about this in General Discussion later - but it's $5 to enter, & I'd easily pay that to have the chance to play Halo on a screen that big. It's not an IMAX screen (which I know that some of the employees have used for games here) - but it will do just fine :green: Your thoughts?

Carlucci Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Wow! That would be an awesome experience and I would jump at the chance. I wouldn't want to pay too much, unless they gave you a lot of playing time. Good luck in the tourney! Try to get some pictures to post here if you get a chance. Carlos.

Guest Bryan Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Not interested. The game is the same, regardless of screen size. And that size screen might inhibit gameplay as much as magnify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Because it's just Halo. I'd rather play it at home with a bunch of friends on the LAN than spend money to play it with a bunch of strangers. If you're curious about how it would look on the big screen, it will only cost you $5 to find out. Me, I'm not too interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 I think maybe the BIG SCREEN tv trend, and my exposure to it, softens the coolness of playing on a big theater screen. There are limits to how big NTSC should be blown up. If Halo 3 can be viewed in 1080p, then I might be game. But at that point, I bet I'll have projector of my own.

Mark E Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 I'm in the Jay camp, similar reasons. Game is game is game. The advantage I see to big screens is being able to give everybody a decent view in split-screen. Otherwise, not a big concern. I've gamed on 13" TVs and use a 20" now. I never have a problem seeing what I'm doing . Not knocking it though, it sounds cool. The tournie part would be worth it for me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyjaw Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 I'd worry about motion sickness. I have never been motion sick during a game or movie, but at that size, the game would just about fill your peripheral vision, which could cause problems at the speed that games move. I'd like to see it, but like Keith said, I suspect it won't look so hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
