E3 2011: Halo Anniversary & Halo 4


Recommended Posts

It's literally the exact same game with a new graphics engine running on top. You can press a button and it's the old Halo with those graphics.

Which is pretty damn cool when you think about it, I don't remember every having that sort of option before. Not only is it neat it's also a in your face visual cue that the original game is there and untouhed so that all the people moaning "don't mess with the gameplay!" can finally just be quiet now.

That is single player only. Multiplayer is confirmed running on the reach engine which plays a lot differently than the original Halo. Although they said they would try to keep the classic experience, it will most likely feel slightly different. Which is where most people are concerned about, the Classic Halo CE multiplayer experience. Either way, the graphical update is a nice addition.

Are there any other sites with this comparison? My job blocks blogs and all the graphics from Joystiq have a url that resembles (or is) a blog.

They stated they're trying not to fragment the community, so it will have suit abilities and such like Reach. The multiplayer comes on a separate disc.

Kind of disappointed this isn't a downloadable XBLA title, personally.

Oh, OK. Thanks. I thought it might have been new pics from the hands on.

Agree with you on the XBLA title. But why would they do that when they can release a $60 game instead? Seeing how they also stated the multiplayer would be completely separate from the reach multiplayer, the community will alredy be fragmented. In my opinion they fragmented the community along time ago anyways. Not to say any of the multiplayer components were really bad or anything, but there are a lot of people that really miss the Halo CE gameplay mechanics. I miss them thats for sure, but I have also played every Halo game thats been released and got some sort of enjoyment out of each title. I am not as big a fan of the frachise as I used to be but I still try to support it when I can.

The game is $40 at retail. I guess with usual competition between Amazon, Walmart it might be cheaper at pre-order.

SPOILERS (?)

Did someone just leak major Halo 4 information? Again, potential spoilers, so tread wisely...

Wow. If that's the direction Halo 4 is taking, then I'm definitely interested.

Is it just me or did they make it sound like Halo4 is now more of a open world/sandbox type deal and you'll be free to jump between places as you try to figure out what's going on in the story? So like, Halo meets ME sorta? I mean I'm all for it if the story is deep and not like some other sandboxed games that have some loose story just for the sake of it that make me lose interest in them quick. I'm looking at you GTA.

It all sounds amazing to me, though. The series is in dire need of innovation, and I absolutely love every aspect of that rumor.

My post was based on the initial one, which talks about malwares. The other functions of UAC I really didnt mention on my post. Anyway, I surely know that UAC is a wider tool than just a naggy popup, all I mean is that sometimes its nothing but only a naggy popup. Its kind of easy to bypass it. But for ordinary users it may work well to prevent execution of several files if people just read the warnings.

I think they will still have to keep some simplicity to core game play otherwise they will alienate most of the multi-player audience who frankly don't give a **** for story.

They won't make it open-world. That would be met by absolute insanity from the fans.

It sounded to me like it was open enough though, going by that rumor. Maybe I just read it wrong, but I think allowing you to pick where to go and what to do first to an extent is a good thing for a new Halo. If they jack up the scale of the game like it sounds it couldn't hurt.

I think the rumor just indicates there will be more wide-open environments. Like Crysis 2 (not the original Crysis), I'd imagine.

That works as well I suppose, the part about player choice is what threw me. But rereading it it seems to just mean as far as your abilities and weapons etc.

I think it will be just weapon and vehicle customization. They show weapon customization in the reveal trailer.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
