Halo 4 didn't have any in engine cutscenes if I recall. Just Blur stuff.

They did and they looked spectacular on the 360 that's why I don't think those being in engine are out of the realm of possibility.

 

[Digital-Hero]

Nice to see Marty in there.

 

[UberFrosh]

Also can't watch it. It didn't show up in my library until I added /en-US/ to video.xbox.com, but then it still wouldn't let me watch after signing in with my account. Probably because of my .nl account. I find this basic shit that MS keeps screwing non-US guys over infuriating..

 

[Blue Ninja]

That Xbox Video is so atrocious it won't even let me sign in. :lol

 

[Forsythia]

Where the fuck is it? Is this US only?

 

[ValeYard]

Yup, it's region locked. At least that's what I think. VPN doesn't seem to help either, though.

Argh, region locked for sure. When I logged in to my German MS account the video became unavailable. Nooooooooooooo!

 

[Slixshot]

Just watched it. Speechless. Truly. I hope everyone with Xbox One picks up this collection. It truly is a love letter to fans.

Thank you 343, Microsoft, and everyone involved in this project to make it happen.

Thank you very much

Where the fuck is it? Is this US only?

I had to search for it, wasn't on the main page or anything for me. I'm in the US though.

 

[Blue Ninja]

I honestly don't understand why. It's a documentary the made themselves. Why do they always do stuff like this.

Any chance you can tell me what your exact search string was? 'Remaking the Legend' as Major Nelson tells me to search for doesn't work.

 

[Detective]

Nice to see Marty in there.

Yeah. I really hope he comes back.

 

[Slixshot]

so some interesting stuff heard in the video...

Apparently Agent Locke is indeed a "spartan hunter".

Also, we can see a cut-scene of him talking to an elite that does NOT appear to be the Arbiter.

It is interesting to note that the graphical style looks different than what Blur did for the H2A cutscenes.
So I think it is safe to assume that this is one of the 'bookend' cutscenes for the MCC, and that this is similar to how the Halo 5 graphics will look as it is probably using assets from Halo 5.

Here you go MSFT

I just put in Halo and it was like the 5th one down the list.

 

[bishoptl]

Watching now.

edit: scratch that, I have to tie up a new MS account on my work PC to watch this? Come on. :|

 

[ValeYard]

Sometimes they can't do much about rights issues, but here I agree totally. However, after suffering through Xbox One's backward language settings nothing surprises me

 

[Forsythia]

Well, I logged into my US account (switching regions on the console doesn't help) and now I can finally watch it.

Region locking a documentary, wtf.

 

[-PXG-]

I watched this in the early hours of morning. Overall it's a good vidoc. It illustrates how much work was involved. I still wish every Halo 2 map got the anniversary treatment and not just six. That us my only complaint.

 

[Twin Tails]

Yeah. I really hope he comes back.

Halo Fest announcement would be pretty sick

 

[ValeYard]

Well, I logged into my US account (switching regions on the console doesn't help) and now I can finally watch it.

Region locking a documentary, wtf.

Yep, did this too. You just need an account with US as region to watch it, WTF.

 

[purg3]

Marty is a fucking genius.

Only a little in, but this is some quality stuff.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Really good documentary so far. I hope Martin O'Donnell being in it is a sign he's working with 434 now.

 

[Prologue]

Have a hard time playing the video on my end, won't even play.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Yep, did this too. You just need an account with US as region to watch it, WTF.

Doesn't work for me, weirdly.

EDIT: Finally got it to work.

 

[Gestault]

Wow, over an hour. That's pretty excellent.

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

I just searched "halo" and it came up.

 

[RoKKeR]

Only a little ways through so far but I can't believe Marty just whipped up the Halo theme in like a weekend. Amazing, was nice to see him in the documentary.

Spoiler

It's a teaser for the announcement that he's back on the Halo score.

/dreams

 

[King Beyond the wall]

Doesn't work on iPad, can I watch this anywhere else?

 

[dragonelite]

I saw it on this twitch stream skip to around 16:00 min mark..

[Death Metalist]

The documentary brought back so many good memories. Ugh, I can't fucking wait for this collection. SO GOOD.

 

[Sterba]

Watched this late last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Got me a bit nostalgic remembering H2 midnight launch, since I believe it was one of, if not the, first games I ever went to a midnight event for. Had been pretty uninterested in MCC, but now I'm on the hype train due to nostalgia.

 

[Blur]

Yep, did this too. You just need an account with US as region to watch it, WTF.

Works fine for me and I'm in the UK.

 

[Toa TAK]

It's really great to see Joesph Staten in there, too.

 

[rokkerkory]

Have a hard time playing the video on my end, won't even play.

same here, I log in and press "Free" and nothing...

tried in IE9 and Chrome

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Halo 4 didn't have any in engine cutscenes if I recall. Just Blur stuff.

Except for the Opening cinematic and the epilogue, everything else was in-engine using higher quality models. Cutscenes on H4 look brilliant.

 

[Twin Tails]

It's really great to see Joesph Staten in there, too.

Well he is at Microsoft now.

 

[jelly]

That Attack the something or other guy, is he even a Halo fan or can't go outside his annoying slick. Quite a few people in this come across as PR drones or suits with fake emotion. Gets better though.

Nice to see Staten and Marty. Still like the Halo 2 LE behind the scenes.

 

[TheLegendary]

Can watch the trailer but the full movie won't play for me on my PC .

 

[Heysoos]

same here, I log in and press "Free" and nothing...

Go to the Xbox website or outlook and log in to your account then go to the video link and then when you press free it will be "purchased" and then you can watch

 

[RdN]

Really great documentary. My hype for this collection is through the roof.. This next week better move FAST!

 

[Bolts-n-Rays1109]

Such a great documentary. Halo 2 was a really special game for me, so this really hits feelings hard.

 

[Poodlestrike]

I loved the bits about the sounds. Seeing how they make them was pretty damn cool, with the dry ice and whatnot.

Yeah I always loved that part in 'making of' features. The one in King Kong was insane :

That was the first time I heard about Foley artists.

 

[Heysoos]

Just finished watching. So much nostalgia. I can't wait!

 

[Frog-fu]

Trying to use the Xbox Video web browser to watch it but it ain't working.

 

[Frog-fu]

wrong thread

 

[ebullientprism]

Region locked on both the XB1 and the website. I guess I will just go fuck myself then.
:/

Hope someone youtube mirrors it.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Is this up on Xbox One Video?

 

[jelly]

I watched it on Xbox 360 through Xbox Video. No problems. Had to search for it though.

 

[purg3]

The music segment was definitely my favorite. Really shows you how iconic and amazing the sound of Halo is.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Is this up on Xbox One Video?

Yes, just search "Halo" and it should be a little down the list.
