Making me salivate....

I cant wait to see what Halo 5 is going to look like.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Just downloaded some Halo CE gameplay here, and god damn! Thats pretty impressive!

 

[neurophd]

Halo 4 looks ridiculously good!

 

[AgentOtaku]

This is what I recommended last week! All game footage in the industry should be run through Gamersyde first.

con-fucking-curred!!!!

Halo 4

 

[LlamaJohnson]

So I've never been one of those 30 v 60 guys in the past.... I was always a "meh, whatever" kind of guy.

After seeing this? I never want to play a 30fps game again.

 

[Skux]

So glad I got on to an unlimited internet plan recently, I no have no more qualms with blowing a gigabyte on like three minutes of gameplay.

 

[elfinke]

Fuck me, I see myself buying an xbone just for this (and maybe Sunset...) Only ever played ODST and Reach, and then, only the tiniest bits of each, so my Halo appreciation is preeeeeeeeetty low.

Just need an Aussie price drop. <$450 with MCC would be a great start!

 

[Velikost]

Downloading all of these right now.

This feels like the longest I've ever waited for a game to release

 

[Shin-Ra]

This is how you do a remaster, please take notes. Everyone, everyone take notes.

1080p (good start)
Juddery 60fps (not just in cutscenes)
Tearing
No anti-aliasing (CE)
Laughable shadow resolution
Amateurish HUD replacement

and my favourite kind of texture filtering.

It looks like Halo got minimal care and attention.

 

[Shin-Ra]

The framerate (and HUD!) looks a lot better in Halo 2A.

No AA in classic mode again and the horizontal resolution reduction hits contrasty edges hard.

There's lots of low-res (and I mean low) alpha from grenades, plasma, suit energy restoration and drifting fog which doesn't help with the image quality either.

 

[bananafactory]

Watched some of the Halo 1 and 2 videos....IQ seems extremely disappointing. I'm still going to have a blast with the games but I honestly kind of expected better. What the hell happened with the AA?

Also I haven't had a chance to watch the Halo 3/4 vids, impressions are good from the looks of it though. Do they fare a bit nicer?

I haven't played Halo 2 or 3 before so I'm really excited to see what all the hype is about

Only Halo 2 got any attention

They have been very upfront about that.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Halo 2A shadow res looks better but they've got dithered transparency (just sniping zoom?) as well as low res alpha.

There's something glitchy with the Brute Shot grenade trails starting behind your head too.

[VisceralBowl]

^Wow you have some serious black crush going on in those shots.

 

[Shin-Ra]

^ I just see shadow detail lost to lossy video compression in both.

Haha! Thanks.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Haha! Thanks.

Which part do you disagree with?

 

[BuggeryBugz]

Which part do you disagree with?

I'm not disagreeing with you. Im laughing because you came in this thread to over analyse everything when we know halo 2: anniversary got a "re-master" and the other have just been mostly updated to 1080p 60fps.

But I won't stop you. Keep up the analysis.

 

[Barrow Roll]

Well I for one appreciate the technical analysis. Keep it up!

Having no form of anti aliasing at all for classic modes is pretty weak.

 

[rokkerkory]

[finowns]

Gravemind looked terrifying.

 

[Shin-Ra]

VisceralBowl's right, I do have some additional black crush in those pics. OS X (Mavericks and Yosemite) have issues with built-in applications like Quicklook and Quicktime shifting levels. Kind of a pain bringing videos into Photoshop just to take still pics.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I skipped H1 remastered on the 360 because it wasn't 60fps. I'm glad I waited. Now to try and convice my buddy from when I first played through H1 to get an Xbone so we can play coop again.

 

[Lockjaw333]

Halo 4 legit looks like a current gen game. Really impressive.

Have a feeling I will be skipping Halo 1, probably only playing Halo 2 mp. Halo 3 and Halo 4 I'll play the campaign for sure

 

[garbagejuicer]

Just finished watching a bunch of these videos.

Halo CE looks a little strange when running in Anniversary Mode, is juddery the right word?

H2A, 3 and 4 look awesome! I did notice some framerate drops, but they seemed to be infrequent.

 

[BeforeU]

I can see Major Nelson playing fuck me this wait is killing me.
