Not really sure what I think of any of this...it's pretty but if they change the soundtrack I will literally murder someone. [video=youtube;99vQ0DD4VCg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99vQ0DD4VCg[/video] [sp]also if this was posted already i'm sorry[/sp]
Soundtrack sounds different. 0/10 But also, that's not ingame right? I liked how the cutscenes in the Halo games, atleast the first two were in-engine. Would be insane if it looked like that. If it did, I'd honestly consider getting an XB1 for it. Which is exactly what MS is banking on.

Congrats, you hired a CGI team to shit on the cutscenes with overdetail, lens flares, and shininess. 'Gratz.

I would think running on XB1 the cutscenes could look great anyways with the updated engine, we don't need a full remake only to get put back into the less impressive game.

It's dumb. I really don't like 343 at all.

The only thing I care about now is whether or not the soundtrack remains intact. If I don't hear Blow Me Away when I enter that room (you know which room I'm talking about), I will murder someone.

They didn't go and replace the scenes with CGI.
I'd rather watch a CGI cutscene than an in-engine one tbh. Adds more life to the universe imo
[QUOTE=redBadger;45568163]I'd rather watch a CGI cutscene than an in-engine one tbh. Adds more life to the universe imo[/QUOTE] Except for when it's PC and the cutscenes either take up a lot of space, or they are recorded in a low res and don't scale well with higher-res monitors.
[QUOTE=redBadger;45568163]I'd rather watch a CGI cutscene than an in-engine one tbh. Adds more life to the universe imo[/QUOTE] Well what bugs me is when it switches between them and it might be noticable. But also... compression artifacting.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;45568208]Well what bugs me is when it switches between them and it might be noticable.

[QUOTE=The freeman;45568640]To be fair, the transitions to cutscenes in Halo 1 - 3 (don't know about 4) weren't exactly subtle considering it would usually just fade to white or black and transition.[/QUOTE] True, but it was the same look, textures, shaders. The most that changed was letterboxing.
They didn't give him the armor design from Halo 4. GOOD.
[QUOTE=cdr248;45568198]Except for when it's PC and the cutscenes either take up a lot of space, or they are recorded in a low res and don't scale well with higher-res monitors.[/QUOTE] Well the game itself is 1080p 60fps on the X-Box one, so the cutscenes are probably 1080p [editline]2nd August 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Fayez;45568807]They didn't give him the armor design from Halo 4.

The eyes on the women look kinda uncanny.

I'm sure a lot of people have memories of reaching the control room and having Chief get mowed down by the ghost he was riding up to the door.
This just makes Microsoft's refusal to put Halo on PC burn all the more. I don't want to buy an expensive console that I have zero interest in for one thing, but I [I]really[/I] want this one thing.
cutscene cortana now looks like a chick I know. Aside from that, the elaboration of detail is kind of a put off for me, like it takes away from what my imagination would have filled it in with when I played the original. Everything is a lot more shiny now, as opposed to what the previous graphics suggested to me.

But I wish they gave him a good reason to get like new armor or something like that, instead of chalking it up to nanomachines MKV armor will always reign supreme tho [editline]3rd August 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=3picFail;45577533]cutscene cortana now looks like a chick I know.

The Halo 4 intro showed Spartan 2s (and the chief himself) using the same armour as the Halo 4 version: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYdxweyMrMU[/media] It wouldn't of surprised me if it was a retcon. They already retconned and changed many other things and made them worse.
From what I've heard, they got the studio who did the Halo Wars cutscenes to work on them. Defiantly not in-engine knowing that. But they make it so good

I do know your pain though, MGR on Steam is horribly bloated thanks to this.
I'd rather have CGI cutscenes because the in-engine cutscenes from CE Anniversary looked extremely dated. The visuals were remastered but all of the animations from 2001 were left untouched. The facial animations are especially jarring, they didn't age well at all. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRYccDiXDOE[/media] Halo 2's animations weren't much better and with the Xbone's visuals they're bound to look more aged than ever.

Chief got Mark VI in the beginning of Halo 2 and hasn't met any Spartans yet.
