Graphics are good but gameplay and story is key. I’d pick halo 3 over halo 5 or infinite any day. Hopefully Halo studios sees that and isn’t lost in unreal engines graphic hype.
Dude, come on don’t be that way. This is supposed to be a new fresh start of the halo franchise like literally halo studios had to fire most of their former employees and hiring new better ones and most importantly you should never let your love for Halo die because it should always be eternal
@@RedStar-kz7wr A fresh new start? How many fresh new starts do you need? Also, you understand this is just a rebrand of 343i right? It's not actually a new studio.
It’s not just a rebrand on halo studios majority of the higher ups the ones in charge got fired so yes there is change but as far as developers and the ones creating the game they stayed the same that 343 changing their name to HALO is like if Jeffery Dohmer changed his name to one of his victims.
@@MrDwightSchrute it means in 2007 we didn’t know any better, so they were amazing graphics for the time. Can’t believe that wasn’t obvious enough. You’re right, comments are such jank… 😂
These two games and game engines are close to 20 years apart, but Halo 3 still holds up beautifully today even despite its age. Other than its shorter length and a few cheesy lines here and there, Halo 3 was and still is everything you could possibly ask for in a Halo game.
some of these pictures are suggesting they are changing the level design? the comparison is frustrating when you compare a close up picture to one like 5 km away or you show a waterfall then the comparison is a huge valley and you can barely even see the waterfall anymore.
Also shows ‘realistic’ graphics don’t make a great game. They can enhance a bad game, or carry a poor game, but a well written, well designed game can look anyway you want.
I'm not entirely sure what this video is meant to prove, other than the fact that Halo 3 graphics still look good even when compared to hyper realistic visuals rendered close to 20 years later.
It gives me goosebumps knowing how Bungie was 15+ years ahead, and, on an entirely new console at the time. We need developers like this again. We need vintage Bungie.
The Slipspace engine couldn't be improved due to the talented engineers that left from Bungie, yet their experience and knowledge could've been crucial if they tried UE 5 because former Dice engineers made The Finals with UE and it play, felt, and looked like a Battlefield game, even the destruction was top notch when came to an UE game with that level of depth in destruction.
Halo has always been more than just graphics-it's about the unique mood, immersive atmosphere, and the way the physics and gameplay mechanics come together
Why are they comparing halo 3 to this? This wasn’t a halo 3 remake presentation. Has to be because they know nobody will care about it unless they soft-launch a halo 3 remastered lol
It’s pretty insane. After all the next gen upgrades and remasters all these games got Halo 3 definitely still has the best graphics. Whatever rasterization tech they used was crazy ahead of its time.
This isn't even an ACTUAL game None of it is playable It's all proof of concept Animation etc The devs messing with the engine It is pretty, sure But with enough money anything can be. People saying it'd be awful to play in No, it would be LITERALLY unplayable The first was built to run real-time on an xbox 360, a device with 512 mb of ram. The other won't even run on your series X
I'm happy the studio dropped their ambitions of also being a graphics studio and embraced Unreal Engine. Hopefully this means they can focus on the soul of Halo vs split resources, and ultimately be more nimble.
Im not against a Halo 3 remake... but it tells us they're scared to move on... and need to use an old title to grab easy money. Looks great... but will it feel great? Halo 3 physics where unmatched... and knowing 343/Microsoft, theyll mess it up one way or another (e.g. terrible matchmaking and netcoding).
Exactly my toughts, they'd make just anything but new and innovative ways to upgrade the game, cause yes it's beautiful looking at a Halo ring, but it's more than 20 years old, no one and even most of hard core halo fans will be excited to look at the same levels, same ambiences and static scenarios, even if it's perfect, it was perfect, and now it needs to change,to upgrade to something new and modernest that desserve Halo's magnificence.
