In this case, the “opening cinematic” establishes that humans and a race of comfortingly generic aliens called “The Convenant” still cannot get along, that someone of importance must be rescued, and that 343 Industries, the Microsoft nursery into which Bungie, which created the Halo series nearly 15 years ago, placed their enormously profitable baby, has not upset the cradle. What more can you ask for? It’s the fifth one! It’s loud and pretty and robust! People will be pleased.

More stuff about game

Via Stinkles

Cuts straight to gameplay in the real thing.

Gameplay starts right where the Xbox mnemonic comes up at the end. There's a scene that precedes this one too. Something more sedate. Then bam, first level starts.

Well like I said, that's not the entire intro.

Rendered with in game assets as basis. Basically CG as far as this conversation is concerned but the majority of cinematics will be in engine.

 

[Blueblur1]

That's the coolest Halo cinematic I have ever seen. Well done.

 

[Warxard]

...Buzzfeed?

EDIT: THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME

 

[LegalEagleMike]

...Buzzfeed?

they posted early.

 

[Primethius]

Cross posting from other thread.

Trailer was good stuff. The scale alone was really impressive, along with the music.

On the other hand, the facial animation looked pretty poor.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Hm i was hoping for a longer Intro that explains some stuff between H4 and H5.

 

[BeforeU]

Frankie said that there is a longer intro before this scene begins.

 

[pnutboy]

Wow. That was incredible. The music was pure hype

#TEAMLOCKE

 

[Deku Tree]

Beautiful.

 

[The Flash]

Very Monty Oum-esque. Great intro.

 

[kayos90]

Gotdamn.

 

[A.D. Skinner]

That was incredible!

Worth the wait, now I and the rest of the UK shall go to sleep. I will be back later!

 

[AnathemicOne]

I liked it.

 

[Nori Chan]

Music was amazing.

And there's the T rating as well. First video with it?

 

[MMarston]

People who don't watch this video right now and would rather wait til they have the game in their Xboxes are doing themselves a huge ass favor.

 

[Heysoos]

YYYYYYYYYYYEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I can't wait jesus christ

 

[BruceCLea]

Woah baby...!

 

[TheXbox]

Youtube link up yet? Can't even watch the direct feed on shit uni internet

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Hello new Blue Team, Osiris.

 

[BeforeU]

 

[Seiru]

I might sound like a stick in the mud here, but that's not the sort of opening cinematic I want from a Halo game.

 

[R8TEDM3]

Hands down the best cinematic i've seen in a long time...perhaps ever?!

 

[SystemBug]

This is how Spartans are supposed to be like. Running tanks

 

[Einchy]

That was the greatest halo cinematic ever, I sorta wish I hadn't seen it.

 

[Dreadnought]

So is it CG or in-engine

 

[DATABASE DATABASE]

Holy crap, that was amazing!

 

[jem0208]

Ehhh...

It was pretty cool I guess, not a patch on the H4 prologue though.

 

[SpudBud]

That was pretty cool. Nice to see Buck still rocking an ODST helmet.

 

[Sunset Samurai]

So is it CG or in-engine

I believe Frankie said In Game with post-processing advantage

 

[Grisby]

People who don't watch this video right now and would rather wait til they have the game in their Xboxes are doing themselves a huge ass favor.

Yeah, was hoping for a mix of something and not the opening.

 

[Badosh]

Okay, yeah, that was pretty cool.

 

[littlegrasshopper]

I'm currently playing Mad Max while waiting for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain&#8203; to unlock, but after seeing the Halo 5: Guardians&#8203; opening cinematic all I want to do now is play that. I need Halo 5 in my life like yesterday. lol

 

[Trey]

lol, man that was goofy and cheesy. In a charming way though.

choreographically it reminds me of monty oum in how over the top it was.

 

[vinnygambini]

Beautiful

 

[FZZ]

I hope Master Cheif beats the shit out of them

 

[Kalentan]

I believe Frankie said In Game with post-processing advantage

Yeah, it's the ingame models but it's not being rendered in game.

 

[m23]

Great trailer, hope the gameplay lives up to the scale.

 

[LiquidGotti]

So is it CG or in-engine

CG to the max. None of that was done on xbox hardware.

 

[Uncle Iroh]

Very well done cinematic. I am hype.

 

[Bornstellar]

I believe Frankie said In Game with post-processing advantage

Engine assets rendered offline. So CG more or less.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

I believe Frankie said In Game with post-processing advantage

He said they use the game assets... this was obviusly CGI

 

[raven777]

Looks amazing.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Halo 5 will consume me October ... assuming that meteor doesn't hit at the end of September...

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Don't care about Halo, but that was one bad ass opening, holy shit.

I wonder if they could have made that playable though....It feels like it would have been possible.

 

[IJoel]

The music and sounds are amazing. Hope it continues when it switches from the cinematic to real gameplay.
