I wonder if the helmet-frame is something that helps the gpu render less pixels per frame.
That would be something pretty clever.

If only we could apply this FXAA to Halo Reach...
Doom 3?
It's going to be really humorous playing Doom 3 BFG edition next to it.

I thought this too once, but then I realized that the helmet frame is not in multiplayer. So... neh!

Framerate looks really solid in these videos, no dips at all.

holy shit....we saw a similar jump from uncharted 1 to uncharted 2
Xbox 360 finally being tapped into!

Good catch, I forgot about multiplayer.
But then again, there's less going on in multiplayer, and spaces are more confined.

I wouldn't try to rationalize it that much, it's just a stylistic choice for single player while it would only get in the way and irritate the competitive heads in multiplayer. Also there's only one helmet to consider for campaign, while MP has dozens.

Halo 3 was always a little lack luster visually and in polygon counts, man that was years ago now and I wasted so many uni nights playing 3.

I probably won't be the last to say it, but there's no way in hell Halo 3 looked that bad. Halo 4 is a monumental step forward, nevertheless, but let's not get carried away.
I think you're forgetting the fact that the game is internally rendered at 1152x640... Then upscaled to 1280x720. Let's not forget the most obvious eyesore... No AA.
Good art. Great water effects. Nice HDR. Horrible human faces.

Feels like there is a filter of some sort overlayed in the H4 shot. Needs some context, is it supposed to be a lil hazy? Hope the filterish look isn't everywhere and is just due to the lense flare.

Other than the horrible jpg artifacts, that is how that specific area looks in Halo 3. Super jagged, blurry mipmaps as far as the eye can see, lots of flat looking foliage. Motion perhaps makes it look less stark, but there are no smoke and mirrors in that shot.
Yes. Was my only real concern. Very happy from the little I've seen. The framerate looks very solid. Reach and Anniversary's framerate weren't good, and I've been playing Halo 3 recently and was surprised how much the framerate would stutter -- don't remember it being that bad. From the big improvements to the graphics, lighting, audio, and the game being native 720p...I'm happy the framerate looks to not have suffered. Amazing job, 343.
You can't kill Blake. He will only rise from his own ashes and help you relax.
From what I've noticed in videos, that's actually the inside of the helmet being rendered and not just a black area on the screen faking the illusion of looking from inside the helmet, you can see all the detail when the light shines in at certain angles.

Just now watched that 25 min 1080p yt. Very good looking and sounding. Blown away actually.

Where is said footage if you don't mind me asking? Is it still on Youtube?
Well...
...Yikes.
I really don't get the point of judging a game that came out early in the consoles lifecycle to one nearing it's end. Of course it's going to look worse.

can't find it.
has it been taken down ?
not judging the game myself, just being amazed at the progresses made since then
I mean seriously, look at the character models and animations in comparison to Killzone 3
They seriously found some extra juice in the 360 that I did not think it had left.

Nope, I just found it on YT. Use google and choose your words wisely ; )
Is it me, or the do the weapon sounds, sound, cheap?
Why are you comparing it to a completely different game, wouldn't it be better to compare it to fps released in 2007 like COD 4 and Bioshock?
True. But Bizarre Creations were a really talented team. They DID THAT in 2007...
Forza Horizon is an even bigger jump.
It's you. I watched the one vid through the YouTube app on 360 running through my 7.1 Pioneer, and the new gun sounds are great. From the AR to the 50 cal on the Warthog. Even the Warthog sounds better. Sounds mean lol
Yeah, it looked impressive but in a racing game you don't expect to look at textures but things looking good in motion.

Ok good, I am on some cheap speakers at work right now. Although I will say, I'm used to BF3/Bad Company weapons. I couldn't hear any reverb/echo on the Halo 4 weapons in the environments.
ElRenoRaven
Member
I'll give you the human weapons sound great. The rest of the sound design in the game is total shit though from the videos I've seen. I 100 percent hate the sound of the Covenant weapons and honestly don't like any of the music at all either. Course I'm sure I'm in the minority.

The audio of the spiker weapon sounds much different to me. Better, but different. I also love how lit up the ghosts are.
To be honest I wasn't paying attention to any reverb/echo, I was just glad they didn't sound weak. I doubt the YouTube vid was 5.1 so I probably won't be able to tell how good all of the audio is til I'm have the game, but from that vid, I was impressed.

Yea that's one area you have to give 343 every credit. The game on a technical level looks amazing. They managed to really pull off some damn amazing graphics.

Is there some similar gif from Uncharted 3 animations? not the "pre-render" videos.
The music seemed decent from what I heard, but I'm even more in the minority. I turn music off in almost all of my games, unless it's Halo...then I can't, because if I play a song and pause it, it messes with other audio in the game.
The gulf between Naughty Dog's facial tech quality and Guerrilla Games is ridiculous.
ElRenoRaven
Member
Yea I'm the same way. Course I've always liked the music in the games till Halo 4 here. So I've never wanted to turn the music off on them. This one though I wouldn't mind an option to.
You know I still think halo 3 looks damn good minus the faces. I really think people were way too damn hard on the game.
Agent Ironside

Halo 3 was not an impressive looking game even for its time, regardless.
I've never been a fan of most of the music in all of the other Halos. Some of it is ok, but it's mostly cheese and it's so damn loud and seems to get all the attention over all other sound. Drives me up the damn wall I can't turn music off in Halo. I really hope Halo 4 allows me to turn it off. FFS already lol

Halo 3 is not impressive to eyes, but it is technically impressive.
uh, no. that halo 3 pic was simply a horrible moment to take a screenshot, direct feed or otherwise.
are u kidding me? youre comparing two very different styles. if anything, the killzone one is more realistic!I mean seriously, look at the character models and animations in comparison to Killzone 3
