I don't think you understand the situation.

Please clarify?

 

[ultron87]

Is it weird that out of everything in the video the music excited me the most? I mean, the rest looked awesome, but I was really digging the music.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Please clarify?

Microsoft owns that engine and everything related to the Halo franchise.

 

[DopeyFish]

Is the 3 spots in the top right the grenade indicators? :x

Are grenades even in the game anymore? (multi)

 

[Rumble19]

It's great and all that the graphics look good but I hope they aren't sacrificing on the framerate. Reach was bad enough as it is.

 

[Plywood]

Please clarify?

What Salvor said and the Halo 3 engine is the Reach engine it was just massively upgraded/retooled to the point it may as well have been a new engine. 343 then took the Reach engine and also did massive upgrading and retooling to the point that Frankie said only a few bits of code remain from it and that it may as well be new.

 

[cyberheater]

Is there any hint at all that this is also being developed for Xbox720?

 

[Dennis]

Can someone gif 1.49 in the video, that's the 'prettiest' looking design we've seen imo.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

Nope, will be for 360 this fall.

Well its just a bit worrying that they are comparing to Halo 3 rather than Reach. The timing of them going independent and not wanting to do another Halo (only to do a few more) suggests maybe that they walked away with the tech they worked on afterwards (i.e Reach engine).

 

[Zeouterlimits]

yeah it's a bit of a controversial opinion. i'm not saying they're bad, i'm just saying they're not the best.

A lot of HaloGAF would feel that Reach was made by a B-Team level of management, so it's not really a controversial opinion.

 

[Chinner]

Is there any hint at all that this is also being developed for Xbox720?

well it's being released in 2012....so that should give you enough evidence that xbox 720 probably isnt coming out this year.

Its hard to compare MC from reach to H4 MC.....

 

[Portugeezer]

Graphically it's a nice step up, 5 years later, however on the same hardware.

 

[see5harp]

reach really burnt me out on halo, and kind of proved to me that bungie is a B-tier developer. halo 3 was an overall good package, but didn't really hit the highs of halo 1 or 2.

i'm actually surprised that im a little bit hyped for this.

B-Tier? Come on dude.

[Troll]

"Holiday" 2012

Okay. Thanks.

Frankie said way back Bungie gave them the Reach engine. It's how they made Anniversary and all the maps since they took over the franchise.

Interview with Frankie. Lots of interesting teases and info.

I wonder what are the other MP modes he spoke of that he seems so excited about. Makes me excited.

 

[Danny 117]

That last gif looks like a good potential 'deal with it' image.

OT: God this game has me so hyped out of nowhere!

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

So, I want to do a title update to prepare for shutting down the other thread eventually (as they're basically about the same thing), but can someone explain this to me?

I apologize if this has already been answered in the thread, but I'm currently handling a few things had some issues finding the answer.

Not much info other than a few articles reported the same thing- That armour will effect gameplay and will be customizable.

Keep it up! I want more.

 

[DarkChild]

Is that water pouring on the rock?

 

[XNarte]

Tent officially pitched.

Looks incredible. Love Master Chief!

Interesting question early on about fans breaking down footage. "Trailers" plural....Hmmmmm

Halo Reach engine was for Anniversary, Halo 4 engine is new engine.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

lol, the halowaypoint forums have blown up. The so called "fans" hate the game lol.

 

[hwalker84]

Sweet baby jesus.

 

[theb0xmIke]

lol, the halowaypoint forums have blown up. The so called "fans" hate the game lol.

Most "Halo" Fans are crazy. They just want Halo 2/3 Re Released in better graphics. I mean FFS grow with the times!


Looks amazing btw 343!

dont know if its pouring out of the rock or falling from a water source above, but its definitely liquid

 

[GrizzNKev]

Is that water pouring on the rock?

I'm going to guess that's a lack of AA causing that shimmering appearance, not water.

 

[DR3AM]

Haliday 2012 =\= September

 

[enzo_gt]

It's amazing how much of a difference depth of field effects make.

I as well think the game looks amazing.

I hope we get to use that ginormous mech ^_^

Awesome interview, Frankie is very well-spoken.

 

[Marco1]

Loving the look of H4.
Also interested in seeing what they do with the legendary edition this time.

 

[Buttonbasher]

I dunno about that, but the Forerunner vehicles should offer some new experiences based on how they're spoken about in the books.

 

[DeathIsTheEnd]

I am very excited for this, though I am quite dubious over customisation affecting the player character in MP.

 

[Slightly Live]

I hope we get to use that ginormous mech ^_^

The MK1 is available to use right now in Halo Wars.

 

[Proelite]

Hold me.

Someone hold my feels.

 

[higherARC05]

Hold me.

Someone hold my feels.

 

[Tiago Leite]

Yep... that's Autovista to me!
PS: Joking's aside, it really seems that there are 2 quality "modes" in the vidoc: the "standard" gameplay quality, and a premium "cinematic" quality... (aka FM4 Gameplay mode vs. Autovista mode).

 

[McNei1y]

Oh man I love Halo hype!

 

[Jack Scofield]

Game looks promising so far. More so than the last few entries in the franchise.

But Jesus Christ, can the BR take up any more space on the screen?

 

[Deleted member 22576]

OH FUCK, I don't know why but all of a sudden I'm feeling like this is going to be the most badass Halo ever.

Did you see all that crazy first person animation? :O

 

[Doffen]

So are there plans for more Halo 4 footage at GDC, or is this it until E3?

 

[Portugeezer]

Subtle HUD bob I was talking about. Be sure to watch in HD(obviously).

Or just stare at my gif:

I don't mind a lot of HUD movement if done right, I hope they have some ingame options so we can set it higher.
