Bungie has confirmed that the upcoming 60-second Halo 3 commercial, which will be broadcasted on ESPN's Monday Night Football, will be made with in-game assets but rendered off-line to achieve better, jaggie-free visuals in a similar way to the Gears of War "Mad World" trailer. Here is the official word:
"As the press release mentions, this ad will feature CG scenes that are being built by a 3rd party agency (known as Digital Domain). Now you may be thinking to yourself – "CG!? But Bungie doesn't do CG!" – and you would be correct… until now.
Now don't get me wrong – just because this ad isn't gameplay doesn't mean it's not really cool. In fact, we provided the folks at Digital Domain with all of our new in-game models and assets. They then polished them up to movie CGI standards, animated them and rendered them to a degree of stunning beauty. There will be a lot to like in this ad and we're happy with how it's turning out. Just because you're seeing a kind of "real-life" representation of Halo 3 doesn't mean you aren't seeing real gameplay elements from Halo 3."
As the long-rumored Gears of War Collection looks like it may finally materialize on Xbox, the timing could not be better as Gears 6 and movie news swirls.
(Insert “It should be multi platform if Microsoft investors wants more money” JK here)
All jokes aside congratulations to all the gears fans it will be a blast I remember having fun on the first one on my 360 elite till got RROD and quit Xbox all together but that’s a story for another day.
Congratulations 🎊 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎉 🙏
I'm excited for this just aslong is on the pc also cause I don't have the newest xbox console.
Marcus Fenix and the crew could be back on your screens once more, as the rumored Gears of War Collection is near completion on Xbox.
Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times
The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not
tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear
Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."
1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.
I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.
When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.
Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.
A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.
interesting
They could of just let the trialer go and have a whole day of forums talking this way and that way about it. So it's the real thing but just polished up. Should be pretty sweet ^^
You have to wonder what exactly "in-game" assets will translate to on the commercial. I mean, in the gears commercial you can tell it uses in game assets ...the visuals of the commercial are very comperable to that of the game...just slightly better given it was an offline production. Hopefully this is what they are doing as it will be a pretty fair representation of the game. If its "we took in game assets and re-rendered them based on what we were given"...well then that would be a different story and atleast from my perspective would be more akin to the famous Killzone trailer.
Not a hater btw...I LOVE the Halo series and am eagerly awaiting its return.
they don't try and pass it off as gameplay, they come out and say "it will be CGI"
TAKE A LESSON PHIL/KILLZONE.
Is it me or does MS really seem to have their sh*t together this go round? I mean they are just firing on all cylinders right now! I knew they were going to be throwing some heavy punches come Nov. but this is beyond what I thought....and honestly I think there is a lot more coming from MS. You know there is going to be another big announcement come 22nd. 360's bday will not go by quietly.
