Digital Foundry: "The recent release of new Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary footage allows us to get our first good look at how the game really looks and performs, and puts into focus just how much of a good job Saber and 343 Industries have done in visually revitalising the title that many see as the coming of age of first person shooters on console."
How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
Twitter is blowing up right now
All games coming to PlayStation
Next Xbox will have steam
Next Xbox niche and only for “gamers who want it” (it’s a really powerful pc or a steam deck type portable, or both)
A former 343 developer has revealed that mountains of Halo pitches failed to be approved, including a return to ODSTs and a push for more intimate, dark themes.
Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.
I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.
To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.
Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
With its smooth jazz and iconic New Mombasa streets, we need Xbox's next Halo game to return to the remarkable world of Halo 3: ODST.
Hopefully they fixed the frame rate. What we saw was the E3 build so I think we are good.
Oh also if you guys didnt hear yet, besides the soundtrack, ALL sounds are being remastered in 5.1, what you hear here is only place holder.
.
The ability to switch back and forth from the original build to the new build is a stroke of genius and you can bet that many people who played the original will use that feature regularly.
Halo is ALWAYS a day one buy around here. It's nice to see they put a lot of effort into this. A bargain at $39.99. :)
I'm sure the pixel counters will complain, but they don't have to buy it and, better yet...they can't. :o
See now this is a "remake" that is worth the price. Give us something worth the price. So many remakes aren't even really remade, but "remastered".
Plus we get online multiplayer as well. Cant beat it! From the video's I've seen the game looks current gen, which is a fantastic feat! Switching back to what the game looked like 10 years ago was pure genius as well. Cant wait, already pre ordered this.
Looks very nice.Would say that it even eclipses what Bungie has done with Reach in terms of look.Its no wonder,there are some wonderful talents working at 343i.Ex lead artist for Killzone,than 3 Metroid Prime lead designers are the ones that joined 343 just before e3.
