Support NeoGAF

[dh4niel]

On android I just press and hold the video and save it on my phone (works with firefox at least).

Edit: I didnt like the joke comparison though.

Thanks for the tip! Worked on my Android tablet using Chrome.

 

[NullPointer]

Good. Huge problems w/ that system.

To be replaced with games where people quit out and the entire rest of the match sucks. That's always been the worse outcome.

But there's no argument to be made here since it just isn't supported at all in MCC.

 

[The Lamonster]

I would love to see this video but it plays like ass on my PC and on my iPhone.

IGN video player is the worst.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Maulers back in mp? Dunno if I really like that. Gonna be honest though, I miss 1.0 where melee sent your enemy flying across the map. That was hilarious.

I forgot about that hahaaha

 

[//ARCANUM]

yeah but what frame rate is it going to hit in 4 player split screen? 60 divided by 4?

 

[ProvenDeadly]

Or where 70% of the time I join a game that's halfway over and/ or my team is getting destroyed. No fun .

 

[Kimosabae]

Was the Brute jumping 80-odd feet into a melee attack supposed to some sort of climax?

Because it just looked stupid, honestly.

 

[SmartWaffles]

Thanks, now I can watch it without stuttering! Based VLC.

Hmm... it looks like Halo 3 isn't quite locked in at 60 fps. I noticed frame drops in the video that weren't caused by my player.

The video is likely recorded on a old build like two or three months ago.

 

[JB1981]

It was in 4, but not anymore.

Ugh didn't realize that. OK.

 

[RoKKeR]

Amazing.

Will be my most played part of the collection. Hell I'd shell out $60 alone for Halo 3 at 1080/60.

 

[FrakkinFordy]

Watched via DL and VLC. Man it looks good......so many memories. Getting really difficult to keep saying no to picking up a Bone....

 

[REV 09]

It is not a problem. It improves the competitive nature of the game like comp in CS. I think it is a mechanic that discourages teamwork and communication.

well, i played Halo 10 years ago and have loved it, but as I get older I have less time to play and less of a desire for uber competitive experiences. The reality is that people quit from these games the moment they start and that leads to a bad experience for anyone sticking around or an equally bad experience by having to find another full game.

In 2014, if games want that closed off experience then they should have separate playlists for the hardcore.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

This game hasn't aged well at all.

Having never played the original but seen all the hype towards this, I think I've been spoilt by Destiny, this looks fricking bland! Explosions seem non existent and everything just seems too sterile.

 

[shinobi602]

3 fucking weeks is too long to wait.

 

[mbmonk]

For this collection, If I play Halo1 then Halo2, ..., Halo 4 will that give me the story in chronological order?

Halo looks bland compared to Destiny??

Which Destiny did I play?

 

[MNC]

It's so weird, playing in 60fps is great but watching videos in 60fps just makes me dizzy.

 

[MysteryM]

4v4 ranked slayer on the pit - some of the greatest multiplayer action known to man!

I am counting the days...

Yeah, I think a casual/competitive Playlist split would be cool. Just make ranked so there is no join in progress, but allow it in unranked playlists.

Fantastic idea

Hahahaha seriously it did, IGN didn't do a very good job with this video.

 

[nomis]

Video compression is amazing.

Come on, it's 1080p and at least 2x or postAA. To pin it all on the ign video masking the edges is unfair.

 

[sirap]

They picked a terrible level to showcase H3. The game really shines outdoors, it had an incredible HDR implementation.

 

[Stinkles]

I can't watch other players at 60.

 

[kittens]

Honestly, this is stupid and will date the games more than jaggies or sub-resolutions ever did. Being outnumbered in a mp game is just a BAD experience regardless of the age of the hardware.

It's not that easy. Not only does join in progress give you zero chance to vote for what you want to play, it often times puts you in a losing game or a game that's about to end. It definitely wasn't implemented well in Halo 4.

You know what would be cool? A games browser. That way you can choose the exact map / gametype you want to play. If you JIP, at least you'll be playing what you want to play.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Which Destiny did I play?

Not sure because the one I played had some breathtaking scenery.

Ah well that might explain it because honestly looking at that video I was left very underwhelmed and wondering what all the fuss was about. Will take a closer look once there is more media available I guess.

 

[FleckSplat]

That video player on mobile is the worst thing since Ebola.

I love video players that rebuffer when rewinding. You think they'd prioritize NOT loading the same data to... I don't know... save bandwidth?!?!

 

[Cavalier]

How the hell am I suppose to study with this game coming out before my finals?? FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU

 

[JB1981]

Halo looks kind of sterile when played by others. You have to experience the mechanics yourself to understand why the gameplay is so highly regarded.

Just fail at school and live in a van down by the river. But then become a motivational speaker.

Hey now, I don't need any upstart competition in my market sector. GTFO.

 

[turcy]

even better, is when skipping ahead into the already buffered "grey" section on the timeline - it re-buffers as well.

probably the least efficient player known to the videogaming man.

 

[Ultimatum]

graphics look the same, but the 60 FPS is noticeable right away

not really worth buying a new console for when I can play all the series on my 360.

why the hell did they not include reach and ODST?

I'd be surprised if there isn't at least halo reach DLC

miss that man dearly.

 

[123rl]

Beautifully smooth. Don't ever try and argue that framerate doesn't matter!

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

While it doesn't look as visually appealing as H2A or Halo 4, you can definitely see finer details at 1080p. Like the cracks in the pavement or the rocks on the ground. With better lighting and 60fps, should be a definite improvement over Halo 3 (Xbox 360) in every imaginable way.

 

[123rl]

And hearing that music brought back so many great memories from this game. The nostalgia factor is going to be high in this one, and I can't wait for it!

 

[darthbob]

Halo 3 looks gorgeous, but I was a bit disappointed to see the LOD dithering effect still in action.

 

[Defect]

Keep JiP out of Halo. Just have a better quit penalty or have the quitter only be able to rejoin the same match, but even that can be exploited.

If they quit They can't join another match till the previous one ends.

Origin story for Prophet of Truth/Fortitude?

Come on, it's 1080p and at least 2x or postAA. To pin it all on the ign video masking the edges is unfair.

Just saying, it's a bit premature to make judgments. High motion + compression + camera motion blur isn't a fair situation in itself. I mean, we are talking about a 9Mbit/s feed for 1080p60.

Damn You IGN! Why must you be FIRST?

There are some huge set piece encounters, and the game does have a lot of nice background scenery and animated skyboxes..

 

[Mix]

Halo 3 looks gorgeous, but I was a bit disappointed to see the LOD dithering effect still in action.

I feel like it's in part due to IGN's player being so compressed.

 

[Dabanton]

I'm going to enjoy playing through this again

I'm just trying to imagine how damm good that Scarab battle is going to be

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Okay cool, I'm not doubting people and it's been mentioned that the area shown wasn't exactly the best to show off how good it is.

 

[danwarb]

Having never played the original but seen all the hype towards this, I think I've been spoilt by Destiny, this looks fricking bland! Explosions seem non existent and everything just seems too sterile.

You've got to get inside those explosions to appreciate them in their full psychedelic glory.

Theatre mode is still there right?

 

[kittens]

Theatre mode is still there right?

Yup, for all the games that had it before: Halo 3 (campaign and MP) and 4 (MP only).

 

[Vidpixel]

While I was never too keen on the art direction of Halo 3, particularly with the characters' faces, playing a version of this game at 60fps and with little to no aliasing, which was so prominent in the original release, sounds just lovely.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Never played this before, and well, it does look pretty good imo! Its a 2007 game at higher resolution, so I wasnt expecting more then this, since it doenst have the anniversary treatment!

About the video itself though, by the three that IGN released, that one was the worst produced. Looks great anyway, looking forward to it aswell! Now I need to see Halo 4!
