Shetland Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 The image below isn't from Halo 3 gameplay folks, it's from the upcoming TV ad - scheduled to run this Monday, 4th of December, during Monday Night Football on ESPN. The CG was created by Hollywood FX house, Digital Domain, using assets supplied by Bungie. We're very excited about the way they've managed to capture the Chief and other elements and clues from the Halo universe. What are those? You'll have to tune in to find out. Source - Bungie.net NOTICE, THE ADVERTISMENT IS 100% PRERENDERED CGI, NOT INGAME AND BUNGIE HAVE STATED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookie Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Am I the only one who dispises CG trailers for Console and PC games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 ^ No, you're not. But I consider this different because they've repeatedly said that it's CGI and stress that fact -- it's just a neat way of advertising, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxdesmus Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Can you imagine if that was real time gameplay? (drools) :whistle: Can't wait for this :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike232 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 An HD 720p version will be made available on Xbox Live Marketplace soon after for those folks with no access to cable TV. Well atleast the non US people will get to see this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giga Veteran Posted December 1, 2006 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2006 It's not 100% cgi. Bungie has stated that it uses some in game assets as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3nuo Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 mmm.. beautiful :D it's neat that they do cgi commericals too, IMO. i simply can't wait for this game.. it's gonna be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocstar Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 You know I've been backing off halo for a while, but lets all face it.... We are gonna finish the fight and we are going to enjoy doing so. Master chief is one badass character and its cool to see hes returning for the final game. While First person shooters aren't for everyone and are a dime a dozen, Halo is one solid first person shooter and If its anything like halo1 or 2 it should be a good time.

acies Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Bungie were tired of people arguing about whether there trailers were in game or not, so they decided to make something that everyone would defiantly know is not ingame. It think its pretty incredible... CGI always is. Would be a nice surprise considering the latest shots look like ass. You think the xbox360 could do that? Some people just expect waaay too much, IMO.

spenser.d Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Assets..from the actual game. :huh: I think what they mean is that they gave them the material to recreate in CGI the stuff from the game. It's using their assets, but in CGI form. Bungie has stated that it's all CGI. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Would be a nice surprise considering the latest shots look like ass. Argh. Pre-alpha! Get it through your frackin' heads! Textures, models,...everything! It's not even close to done! I was joking about the surprise. It'd be amazing, but there's no way the 360 (or any next gen console) could pull that off.

Lingwo Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I thought it was using the engine but like the GoW Mad World trailer it is sent off to another company to touch it up and make it look unreal :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now don?t get me wrong ? just because this ad isn?t gameplay doesn?t mean it?s not really cool. In fact, we provided the folks at Digital Domain with all of our new in-game models and assets. They then polished them up to movie CGI standards, animated them and rendered them to a degree of stunning beauty. There will be a lot to like in this ad and we?re happy with how it?s turning out. Just because you?re seeing a kind of ?real-life? representation of Halo 3 doesn?t mean you aren?t seeing real gameplay elements from Halo 3.lements from Halo 3.

magik Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Ooh gotcha. Got a bit confused for a second. Now don’t get me wrong – just because this ad isn’t gameplay doesn’t mean it’s not really cool. In fact, we provided the folks at Digital Domain with all of our new in-game models and assets. They then polished them up to movie CGI standards, animated them and rendered them to a degree of stunning beauty. There will be a lot to like in this ad and we’re happy with how it’s turning out. Just because you’re seeing a kind of “real-life” representation of Halo 3 doesn’t mean you aren’t seeing real gameplay elements from Halo 3. Yea, basically they are saying that Digital Domain didn't have to go and re-create their own Master Chief model and other "gameplay elements" models that will be found in Halo 3. This is to ensure that it looks in line/on par with the Halo universe but with the added benefit of CGI (aka flawless rendering, lighting, animations, etc etc).
