The one I saw had the weird rifle, reach marines and uglychief.

Don't forget no dark areas or fog. I'd hope the new one at least showed some of those back in even if it's lighter then the original.

It was awful in so many ways. Seeing 343i react to the feedback of the visuals like they did was really great.

Though gotta wonder after all these months how the fuck they didn't notice that the shotgun appears to be clipping through the camera after each shot. Kinda embarrassing.

...Touche.

Though, apart from the Chief, the two versions look too similar to call one ugly and the other beautiful. IMO

Master Chief was very wrong, and the Assault Rifle was very wrong. Doesn't take much more than that to ruin a remake of this

It seems everyone who signed up for the new xbox dashboard preview got accepted into the program. Anyone who signed up, go check your Connect page.

I still wouldn't jump to conclusions here. For all we know, the BTS Campaign video was recorded using the same build as the sound-effect video we first noticed the shotgun glitch in.

That video was recorded before the game went gold.

I understand that, but I'm also going by David's silence after he initially hinted he was gonna get back to us about it.

Yea. It's about to start in a few days. Just updated tonight.

 

[orznge]

This guy responding is crazy:

wow please don't talk about juices alt account like that lol

 

[Kuroyume]

What so surprising about the new chief model? It's not like the game was finished when they first showed it.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Just have to say the music in the behind the scenes video gave me goosebumps, still. Cannot wait for the remastered OST for me to buy...

 

[Nutter]

Yeah, I was hating on the E3 build when it was initially shown, but the game has really came into its own since then. I'm surprised at how good it looks now.

Playing Assault on the Control Room, with all the new updated goodies, will be more than worth the $40 for me..

Oh so you are getting it now?

Look out for my name

 

[Barrow Roll]

Dear Frankie, 343i, David Ellis, whoever,

Give Hot Toys the Halo license. Seriously. You will get all of my money.

 

[Kibbles]

Put all the gameplay clips together. 343 has so many cuts in the video, took me longer than expected. Just added the Halo theme over it, wanted to use the remastered version but I didn't see it uploaded in full yet.

I tried Griffball for the multikill achivement last week, and had to quit after one game. Not only is it miserably un-fun, but I suck at it. I only got one double kill. :-(

lol.. there were definitely some games I would only get 1 or 2 multi's..

Then there were some where I got 40+ multikills. Just gotta stick with it if you really want the weekly. But yeah, it makes it more fun when you're finished and go back to regular playlists.

Can't friggin WAIT for the new maps. Grifball on Timberland would be nice.. something with some scenery and some hills would be kewl.

Don't know if it's because they didn't do it right in Silverlight, or whatever, but the framerate really bugs me. Still, damn does it ever look good.

This is great, it was hard to focus on the game footage in the video because some of the cuts were so fast.

I think the best compliment I can give Anniversary is that it looks exactly like what I think Halo CE looks like in my mind. There were a few moments where I couldn't immediately tell if it was the updated graphics or not (usually during fast sequences) and that's not a bad thing. There's a really excellent thematic consistency, and that video made me a hundred times more excited for Anniversary than I was.

ViDoc file is 24fps, that might have something to do with it.

 

[Tashi]

I hope there are more proper HD Remakes like Anniversary rather than the popular 1080p 60fps ports that lots of people on GAF get hard for.

 

[The Librarian]

Does Sgt. Johnson have a mustache? I can't tell. It wasn't that pronounced in the earlier games.

I also wonder if 343 is going to have Sgt. Johnson running around with you on missions when he's suppose to be with Keyes.

Show the gaming industry what is the right way to make a anniversary edition by buying this game.

He did in Halo 3. You might have been too distracted by how Muppet-like all human faces were in that game to notice (I couldn't remember either). Before that he could have had anything but we wouldn't have been able to tell because the textures were so muddy.

Well, sure, resolution on the PC version helps. I think when I first played Halo 1 it was on a 19" CRT.

Couldn't see shit, Captain.

Specifically, I would refer to the "I know what the ladies like" line, which shows the ridiculous low resolution of that facial texture.

I remember those days. My TV I had when the Xbox came out was a 21 inch. lol Those where the days. Now I play on a small ass 24inch HDTV. lol

[Tashi]

Sarcasm?

There's a place for both ways of doing.

No sarcasm here brah. And the wrong way is cool if the games are like 20$ Shit is just cashing in.

And yea nutter, definitely buying Anniversary. Not even a question.

 

[Homeboyd]

Hey did anyone ever officially confirm the Forge World palette on Timberland? Is that the only map with the full palette?

Also... dudes at 343, has all been revealed now?

Oh Jesus, I almost forgot how embarrassing the human faces were in Halo 3. Thank God Bungie finally got their shit together for Reach in this regard.

Not that I'm aware of, but the new huts on the side of the Ridgeline variant seem like they would fit with the full FW palette. I wouldn't be surprised if it's following the Tempest example.

There are plenty of fun little east eggs yet to be seen. Dennis Ries and I are on our own little Griswold vacation this week letting press get their first extensive hands-on with ALL aspects of Anniversary. The rest of the crew will be taking a similar trip down to SF this week so you can expect quite a bit more press coverage (i.e. direct feed gameplay) over the next several weeks.

We're in the home stretch to release now. Since this is the first video game project I've been a part of since day one I gotta say I'm thrilled with the response so far. Anniversary continues to be the little project that could. I hope to one day be able to tell more of the story of this production. I am continuously in awe of what the entire team (Saber, CA, 343) have been able to pull off in such a short amount of time. But hey, I'm pretty biased.

So while here should we assume Shotgun graphics bug is in the gold version?

*Edit*

I'll take the silence as a yes.

 

[Homeboyd]

Save for multi-quote

Thanks man! Can't believe it's almost been 8 months since the last DLC. My body is ready for some new maps.

Trying to decide whether to run through the campaign solo the first time or co-op. I don't want to miss anything.. so I'll probably tackle it alone.

 

[Ramirez]

Game looks amazingly good graphically, well done to Saber/343.

 

[erpg]

I agree, but also, some games just don't need to be touched, except for the better framerate and resolution.

I'll take a 40$ release with both options over the Japanese "remember when we made games" combo emulator packs any day.

Whelp, I'm going dark now until release. Don't want any spoilers.
