See What Halo 4 Looks Like at 1080P/60FPS in Halo: Master Chief Collection

IGN First look at Halo 4 from the Master Chief Collection in 1080P/60FPS

[nicksetzer1]

Looks amazing, and that draw distance is insane.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

Once again I immediately noticed the 60 frames. The game was already shiny on 360 but even shinier on X1.

[Ballsack]

SYSTEM SELLER..

Getting mine

[megajon]

I'm pretty sure this is the first time we've seen Halo at 60fps if you don't count the PC releases. I think they should shoot for 60fps from now on with Halo, it looks so much better.

[Volkama]

Well yeah of course you noticed right away, it's right there in the headline ;)

[hardcorehippiez]

remember resolution doesnt matter does it? well there you have one of many reasons why resolution matters and should be 1080 (if achievable ). personally being a halo fan years ago this looks great. one every xone owner should get.

[Jozinho]

I'm blow away by the FPS not the resolution. Look how smooth it looks.

[nicksetzer1]

Troll much?

[yarbie1000]

The FPS is what makes the difference in these vids. Can you really look at the Halo 2 video and "see" that it isn't 1080P?

I can't.

[WilDRangeRfc]

Stealth troll???

[hardcorehippiez]

im not trolling i will get an xone for this. but these asshats saying resolution doesnt matter are just that ASSHATS . in an era were we are moving to VR resolution matters. the draw distances are much more believable now and resolution plays a huge part in that. fps also needs to be smooth. 60 preferable but locked 30 will suffice depending on game type.

[jc12]

If you really, just really honestly and fairly think about it, does this game really look that much better than its original?

Dont get me wrong, I love the Halo series, but short of the 60 frames, this game looks very similar to its predecessor.

Im just not seeing any major improvements in art design, character models, or textures - even the lighting is meh...

Hopefully 343 has a lot more in store for Halo 5...I'm sure they will.

[etownone]

Halo 4 isn't a remaster like Halo 2..

Its just getting the bump to 1080p/60fps and some improved lighting effects I beleive.

The original was an amazing game graphically anyways.

[Ryan741]

You could say the same about TLOU ps4 version.

[Dannyh]

Halo 4 was already an amazing looking game

[tgunzz]

This Holiday gaming on xb1 is entering the realm of stupindous!!! Added DLNA/incoming custom backgrounds/snap center surpreme (def con 5) Ori/BF (defcon 4) TF reload (defcon 3), SSOD (defcon 2), FH2 (defcon1) HMCC (nuclear)!!!! Yr one just blew the F@ck up... Game on!!!!! Oh yeah Halo nightfall (atom bomb).

[jc12]

I would agree, I don't think TLOU was a huge leap in graphical fidelity, though the textures, lighting, and shadows were markedly improved.

I guess sometimes I am just dismayed at how easily the gaming community is impressed. A bunch of you are screaming "system seller" regarding this half-assed remake...I mean really? You really think the above video shows enough of a graphical leap to warrant labeling it a system seller? My God guys. Short of fps and draw distance, I almost see no difference. Nothing about the above video makes me want to buy an xbox 1, why would I? I played Halo 4 for months already on 360, what is so improved upon here that i should sink 500+ dollars into the system, Live, and the game again to essentially experience the same thing?

[JCOLE13195]

Looks fantastic. 343 did an outstanding job on this collection. I can only imagine what Halo 5 is gonna look like.

[bleedsoe9mm]

this could have been a launch game and no one would have questioned its looks . halo 5 is going to be amazing .

[Nolando]

To think this was mostly achieved (barring the upped resolution and fps) on the 360... I cant wait to see how halo 5 turns out on the XBO!

[jhoward585]

Agreed, 343 did an outstanding job on this collection.

Well, its seems to MS are doing very smart business here. I know 343 aren't the original makers of Halo. So, by allowing 343 to remaster the entire halo collocation before making the next halo was pure genius on MS part.

Now that 343 has a better understanding of the halo franchise I look forward to seeing what next the halo game looks like.

[Ausbo]

Remember a good chunk of 343 are from bungie

[2cents]

derp derp de derp-pe-de-derp*

translation: I have booked hols to coincide with this! Epic Campaign Quest, All four back to back!
:D

[PixelEnemy]

I can only imagine what the last Halo in X1's lifetime looks like. I'm sure it wil push the console like nothing else before.

[isa_scout]

Yeah, I'm excited to see what they show of Halo 5 on Nov. 10th... I think Gears of War 4 is gonna look insane to. I really hope they do what Phil Spencer said and get back to the darker tone of the original Gears of War.
Halo and Gears of War alone are reason enough to own a Xbox One. I'm a huge Halo fan so buying a XOne in November is a no brainer.

[mooseo21]

Very fired up for this collection.

[jhoward585]

I'm jealous again. MCC looks amazing. I want an x1 now.

[Locknuts]

Me too man.

[swice]

Been playing Halo at 30fps for more than 10 years. 60fps is going to change the gameplay a little bit, for me

[Nolando]

I know what you mean... its to damn smooth. the pace is the same, but aiming and moving is going to need some adjustments and I have been playing since the beginning as well!

[GodGinrai]

But it will be more responsive than ever. and in those 4 v 4 matches that will be crucial. I cant wait to jump into big team battle on halo 3. I could play BTB on Sand trap, and those remastered halo 2 maps all day. And I personally liked halo 4s MP so Im looking forward to continuing where i left off with that. I think, I will have a better K/D this time too.

[DoctorJones]

Will be picking up an Xbox One for this.

[Saithraphim]

Pre ordered the Unity Bundle with this game two night ago.

[tigertron]

You can see even more HUD detail.

This game looks soooo good with 1080p/60fps. Like a whole new game.

[aftershock]

This was "the best looking game on 360"? Yikes

[Strikepackage Bravo]

Said no one.

[spicelicka]

Except for the VGA's maybe...........not only 360 but in general on consoles. Definitely one of the best looking games last gen, but of course you've never played it and will judge from a 4 inch video screen.

[Meatyboy]

I'd say its the best looking xbox 360 game I can remember playing and i'm not embarrassed to say that. It still looks a lot better than a few next gen games today.

[etownone]

Actually it did win best numerous best graphics awards for 2012. Besting any ps4 exclusive that came out the year.

I personally think it looks amazing for a Sci-fi fps. Definitely best looking Halo for sure.

[BattleTorn]

Just when I'm slowly playing Destiny less, BOOM Bungie content re-invigorated! (hats off to 343i ofc)

I see so many similarities in the gameplay. The precision shots, and AI seem very reminiscent of each other.

Though, for each of these TMCC videos, I've found the MP footage to be rather underwhelming. I'd much rather see co-op.

[OpieWinston]

You do realize this is Halo 4 footage... The Promethean AI was the most aggressive of all Halos.

It was almost as challenging as Halo 2 Legendary.

[GodGinrai]

"The precision shots, and AI seem very reminiscent of each other. "

Reminiscent of halo, you mean. Halo takes no cues from destiny. It came before it.

[BattleTorn]

Yes.

[marlinfan10]

its almost weird seeing how fluid the game is at 60 fps after playing halo for so long. can't wait to get my hands on this game!

[Locknuts]

It's like it was always meant to be this way.

[Jozinho]

I don't have an XOne but i'm excited for you guys. I hope it turns out good. Halo is a masterpiece. Good old memories.

[sandman224]

This will be the reason to own an Xbox one.

[imt558]

Looks great indeed. Played Halo's ( 1 and 2 ) on PC. Well, the Halo 2 Anniversary's SP campaign, which is at pseudo 1080p. It runs at 1328x1080 instead of 1920x1080. But who cares anyway.

Halo 2 has probably the best singleplayer campaign in whole Halo series.

[spicelicka]

oh man oh man oh mannn i never thought i'd be this excited to look at and play games, over 2-10 years old!

[Trekster_Gamer]

I guess my only gripe about this whole MCC is the amount of sleep I might miss out on! ;)

[pornflakes]

DAY 1

My SSO bundle will come 28th ;)

[WorldGamer]

Looks good. Should be quite a treat for Halo fans.

[Foehammer]

Hail to the King Baby!

[GodGinrai]

Im so pumped for this...I could just headbutt, one of you guys out of excitement! I would apologise after. but still. Oh my ghaash! :)

[ArtificiallyYours]

It was definitely supposed to look this good back on the 360, but the hardware couldn't properly adjust the lighting it was that thorough. Nailed it the second time around, 343, I'm proud and will of course enjoy the smoother execution. :)

[bmf7364]

You know what would be awesome? A PC version

[vega275]

Let us know how that turns out when it releases ;-)

[Saithraphim]

good god that looks good, the game play is so fluid in glorious 60 fps. truly a master piece. Honestly, I'm dying to see Cortana haha

[PixelEnemy]

Me too! She was curvy in Halo 4!

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

Spoilers!

It looks fantastic.

[ginsunuva]

I can't believe they're reselling Halo 4 already. Even Halo 3 is kinda cutting it. I don't think anyone has 7-year nostalgia timeframes.

[boodi]

that's a freaking good update , i think just this game remake alone could be worth 50$ to it . looks a blast to play and graphically is so clean smooth and wonder , 343i did an incredible job on this release . i can't even imagine what we're gonna see with halo 5 ( it's 1080 if i'm not wrong ) if yet halo 4 looks gorgeous . can't wait really . i feel halo 5 ( which has had a big curtain on until now ) will be a big surprise...
