That was fucking epic. Loved the teleporter parts

ProA0075464d ago

Yeah the part that begins at 6:00 is simply amazing

basicsameh5145464d ago

i read machnima and i knew it was halo

Blacktric5464d ago

It was simply epic. I wish real Spartans were like this. It feels like Solid Snake + Samus Aran + Master Chief comined into one badass character. BTW Red vs. Blue guys didn't do anything worthy besides voicing the characters. Watch the video till it ends. It says "based on Halo 3" and then shows 343 Studios' logo. All the animations, effects etc. done by 343.

LeReidy5463d ago

Eh your wrong. Roosterteeth hired Monty Oum who made haloid. He does all the animation. 343 has nothing to do with anything they produce. legally they have to show those logos.

Blacktric5458d ago

Um. No you are wrong. Check their website...

Bnet3435464d ago

lol I don't like RvB, but that was a seriously good episode.

georgeenoob5464d ago

This is how Master Chief should really be like. Fucking epic!!

Paradicia5464d ago

Machinima at its best. I can't think of any other machinima that has ever reached this kinda quality.. EVER!

gamerzBEreal175464d ago

yea if only halo3 was this epic :(

EvilBlackCat5464d ago

OMG!!!!!!!!

that was freaking fucking epic awesome!

BEST EVER!!!

Wow that was bad ass. I never really liked this series but apparently they got some new motion/animation tools.

JasonXE5464d ago

Oh is that how they do this?

-Alpha5464d ago

All of this is done on FORGE?? HOW??

STONEY45464d ago (Edited 5464d ago )

No, they used some kind of 3D animation program for PC, you can't do stuff like this in Forge. Just look at the lighting and the custom animations.

Hideo_Kojima5464d ago

This is done on a PC not on the 360 how the hell would they make the animations on forge?

Its just like any other animation created but they made it look like Halo 3.

TheViper5464d ago

Love the portal usage. Good script too.

Almost as good as Haloid.

SixZeroFour5464d ago (Edited 5464d ago )

howd they get the models to do custom animations...if this is what the rest of the series is gunna be like, i need to catch up...lmao, i stopped after like 3-4 seasons

JasonXE5464d ago

That's what I freaking what to know. Maybe Bungie gave them their tools?

ProA0075464d ago

I'd like to know how they pulled this off as well. Also how long it must have taken them. But I loved it. Kudos to Rooster Teeth

Fanb0y5464d ago

It's pretty obvious.

If you look at the scenes, the custom-animated scenes are from a 3D program, such as 3DS Max or Maya. Look at the environments. The lighting is quite different.

Their compositing is also quite good, which is why it looks consistent throughout the whole video.

SixZeroFour5464d ago

@ fanboy
yea, they prolly got the max/maya models straight from bungie themselves, and animated them separately...i just didnt expect that from them, cause they used to do all their acting" straight from the game, through forge, then edit in theater mode i think

also @ProA007

i just finished watching all of season 8 so far, and it looks like the have a new episode every monday, so the whole process (animating and editing) seem to only take them a week

Fanb0y5464d ago

It takes way longer than a week to produce an episode.

What studios do is that they produce the entire season about halfway through (or fully), and release the episodes one by one; thus the delay in between seasons.

Halo Reportedly Coming To PlayStation Soon, No Switch 2 Version Planned Yet

The Halo series is reportedly headed over to PlayStation consoles in the near future, while a Nintendo Switch 2 version is not yet planned.

MS probably didn't want the negative press for over a year about Halo coming to sony, which is why they didn't reveal it this year. IMO

InUrFoxHole2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I dont think that's it. Gears coming to PS is a big deal and we already know that MS is bridging all games. I think its gonna be a next year reveal or when ever they reveal the new xbox. I tell you what's funny. At 1st all gamers were in arms about MS bringing games to PS. Hardcore xbox were mad. Hardcore sony were happy and some trolling. Admittedly at 1st I didn't like it. Truth is for years these companies have been training their consumers to have brand loyalty and believe that certain games were only possibly because of the company they were made under. When you turn that silliness off you realize as a consumer this is one of the best things to happen in gaming. You have the choice to play where you like.

slate912d ago

Totally agree. MS lost the console war so they moved into publishing where there is money to be made. Now everyone can have the once-exclusive gems on their system of choice.

InUrFoxHole2d ago

@Slate91
Agreed. No way in hell MS is gonna catch anyone in console sales. They're gonna go where the money is.

Shiro1732d ago

Now you clearly have a choice. That would be playstation. You can get Xbox games and all Playstation only games. Why in the hell would anyone buy a Xbox over a ps or pc is beyond me now.

dveio1d 23h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

"When you turn that silliness off you realize as a consumer this is one of the best things to happen in gaming.“

Microsoft easily could have told anyone in 2020 already.

They already knew how their next 5 years would evolve, didn't they? In hindsight?

So people could at least have thought about it twice if they'd pay for an X or S - or instead just buy a PS5 right away.

What I am saying is:

Nice try.

But I personally won't ever buy into their "It's about choices to play/we want to reach everyone" BS.

All they care about is money.

Especially 1st party exclusives are a special and completely logical treatment for your own hardware to offer at least some unique selling points to people.

The problem for Microsoft was they just hadn't any. In 2020. And they didn't know it in 2020 first, no, no.

They had 7 years from 2013 to 2020 to prepare for the Series Generation. Which they did - but they didn't tell their community just yet.

And this is just cheap and gutless, now disguised as "We care for everyone!", and again held up by their very own community, at least parts of it.

Because the Xbox brand will have lost another 12-20'ish million users between Xbox One and X|S.

For reasons. Don't you think?

If Microsoft could have done the ways they wanted, e.g. leaked throughout the FTC trial, they just would have bought everything.

From Sega, CD Projekt Red, Capcom, From Software, Warner Bros.

To even Nintendo and Valve.

And don't forget: they had already bought Zenimax and ABK, and STILL wanted more!

Microsoft is a cancer in the gaming business. And I very much wonder how people still don't see through it!

InUrFoxHole1d 14h ago

@devio
You're conflating 2 different things. There stance is absolutely 💯 play anywhere. You can't deny that. But what they are doing is separate from why they are doing it. If you think any of these companies do it for any reason other than $, then you are fooled. MS hand was forced by piss poor decisions. I'm not blind to that

I say bring it... for years Sony fans have been saying they needed a Halo killer. Well... now they can play Halo themselves and enjoy what millions of XB fans have been enjoying. Why settle for the rest when you can play the best.

JEECE2d ago

"for years Sony fans have been saying they needed a Halo killer"

Lol are you posting this comment through a portal from the year 2008? The "halo killer" narrative died a long time ago.

Cacabunga2d ago

Darth is stuck in time.. Halo killer was born on xbox OG. Killzone 1 started it but the idea vanished when KZ2 was released in 2008 or 2009.

Profchaos2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Halo killed itself

CrashMania2d ago

Yep, halo has already has a couple of killers, Microsoft and 343.

S2Killinit1d 19h ago (Edited 1d 19h ago )

Halo died when Bungie was not longer involved, a slow death, but surely 343 studios killed it with each iteration.

The_Hooligan2d ago

I don't know man, lately it seems Halo is the Halo killer. In my opinion Reach was the last good halo game. Although I prefer ODST's campaign over Reach but man that Reach MP was so good.

IAMRealHooman2d ago

343 studios was the halo killer

TiredGamer2d ago

“343 studios was the halo killer”

No truer words have ever been spoken.

PhillyDonJawn2d ago

Halo 5 was much better than Halo reach. (MP)

tebis12d ago

It was said for a few years, then Halo decide to kill itself.

Profchaos2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

At this point though who hasn't played halo its not like its been cost prohibitive to go buy an old 360 or play it on pc

KwietStorm_BLM2d ago

The media said that. Time and time again. People minding their business on PlayStation didn't say they need a Halo killer. That doesn't even make sense.

1Victor2d ago

@darth: “ I say bring it... for years Sony fans have been saying they needed a Halo killer”
Wait I thought the halo killer was its tv show😂🤣

Sony had a lot of halo killers but couldn’t commit to one all better in one way or another than halo better graphics and gameplay without aim assist = kill zone.
Better multiplayer: Warhawk 32 players and Starhawk 64 players and a lot of fun to play.
Honorable Benton socom so yeah I blame Sony for not committing to what they had or putting it together 🤷🏿

Shiro1732d ago

Technically Halo killed itself.

If it's not Infinite or Master Chief Collection. Then maybe it's just a complete collection? Halo 1-5 + ODST and Infinite with a £70 price tag.

neutralgamer19922d ago

I think that would be smart but with how MS are handling gears we may see them bring 1 game at a time and charge $50 for each. I wss hoping for a complete gears of war collection

Gears 1-5 all dlx & Gears judgement for $80 but instead we get 1 game. Just like Sony are remastering and remaking games we will see MS now do the same

Eonjay2d ago

Why would Microsoft wait to put this on Switch 2? In a perfect world it would have come to the original Switch.... but if this is not possible, they may be looking to cash in on the fact that it is very likely that most Swich 2 onwers will also a PS5 meaning that they can get a lot of double dippers simply by staggering the releases. I think this is true for multiple Xbox Studios games on PS5. By the next Summer games fest, expect an onslaught of games coming to Switch in the same way they are coming to PlayStation now.

Levii_922d ago

Halo 2 MCC is one of the best games ever.
