Not until the future of H2V is announced
[QUOTE=Magikoopa24;41307376]Today RvB released a video talking about a Halo 4 tournament thing being done by 343, starting at RTX. Is this what the announcement was? That video squashed my hopes that there'll be this H3 PC thing at RTX. If it isn't related, I'll eat my theoretical hat.[/QUOTE]

Gus confirmed they had more to show, something bigger, but he was very tight lipped about it.

I better listen to that.

no you can tell the pc one is rendered better, ignoring the textures themselves. better filtering and higher fidelity to the textures. aesthetics of one char dont really matter when literally every texture is crisper on pc

To be honest his textures are objectively the same quality. They're just two different styles of clothing, his face is literally the same but without as many age spots and different color toning.
If you get the mod to replace the shaders gearbox left out of the PC version it makes the game look closer to the xbox version, texture differences aside.

look at it close up, you can observe the textures are higher quality and the pc version has far better character lighting and color. i dont know why its so low contrast tho, it shouldnt be. i popped the contrast and gave it a slight sharpen to bring out the fine detail and you can see how the texture is actually better on the pc version (again slightly better), even if you dont like the uniform design on the pc version you can see that it's rendered much cleaner and the filtering is better and whatnot,. the face is actually more detailed and has higher quality lighting.

On the xbox version he looks like he's gonna cry, the PC one is just more refined (in that screenshot wow don't murder me)

And in the Xbox version he looks like he has a button nose.

Even though I disagree, Open Sauce, despite being a mod, makes the PC version look so much better. You could genuinely confuse a nice shot of OS with something from Halo 3.

...son of a bitch, I watched that podcast yesterday.
Well that gives me some more hope, at least.

And it will be this month, right? Because we have waited too long.

The textures are literally the same size. A change in quality is not quantifiable at all here. No one brought up anything but the assets. If you want to argue numbers over art, go to Neogaf. Plus, what difference does "lighting quality" REALLY make here in this 2001 game where lit objects are only "lit" objects?
All your edit did was make me notice the overly furrowed Simpsons brows the PC texture. Fucking hell those are hilarious. Now I'm never gonna unsee that.
Oh well, they're both better designs than the Reach one.

for some reason I can't find any pics of the xbox teleporter, but take my word for it or pop Combat evolved into your xbox and compare it to the port. It's much less subjective than the changes made to Keyes.
These two changes are inane enough to lead me to believe there are way more but I cba to look anything up.[/QUOTE]
Except the xbox one doesn't look like that.

I didn't watch the whole thing from the beginning. Is Gus wearing lipstick, or does he have Rocco Botte syndrome and I never noticed?
[QUOTE=xalener;41317480]Give me a break.[/QUOTE]
lol
idk i enjoy my 1920x1080 nicely rendered halo better than not even hd xbox shitty gamma halo.
Yeah, but what the fuck does that have to do with the TEXTURE ON CAPTAIN KEYES? The design of his suit and face, not how it's presented or what resolution it's rendered at. As I said, if you want to talk resolution over design, go to Neogaf.
"go to neogaf"
lol
What time would the announcement be tomorrow (est?)
[url]http://rtxevent.com/events/event.php?id=205[/url]
Most likely Saturday, 1-2 pm (cst) so 2-3 pm (est)
Can someone tell me if that's right?
Jesus fucking christ I hope this happens. I don't even give a shit if it needs twelve goddamn activation codes in an undead GFWL and a 25 degree vertical field of view with mandatory mouse acceleration.
I want this to fucking happen. [I]This needs to fucking happen.[/I]
That's the area that's a bitch to deform with a limited polycount and no access to advanced rigging techniques. It looks fucked up because they didn't have a choice. Hell, that's the reason why everyone else in the game (and everyone in most games from then to now) has huge shoulder pads to hide shitty deformations.

Its obvious which version is better.
lel 4:3
[QUOTE=synthiac;41321364]In the previous screenshot, it looks like someone just copied over the Xbox textures onto the slightly-different Gearbox mesh. Compare the shoulder/bicep area.
Probably why it looks kinda fucked up.[/QUOTE]
No it looks like a material thing. Notice how the gradient / shadow from the zipper goes behind the logos / badges in the Xbox image... (its more noticeable in the first comparison picture.)
