Halo 2 - Original vs Remaster (Anniversary) Comparison
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- The remaster of Halo 2 (Anniversary) has been released for PC today. The cinematics have been completely reworked by Blur Studios, so they look fantastic now. The game itself also looks much better, although compared to animations, models and effects of current FPS games it looks a bit weak. Nevertheless, this remaster is a real upgrade, and PC gamers who haven't played the Xbox version yet now have the chance to familiarize themselves with the deep story of the Halo saga.

remastered cutscenes looks like dark magic, they look extremely real.
Hey fellow slayer
@@oddgbmo3036 hey doomguy.
are the people not real people?
@Dr. Loomis lol, i didn*t know about that...
*Master chief walks in*
Hey guys!
Actually felt like a movie, had the most unreal and the most amazing experience on Halo 2 Anniversary.
This is how you make a remaster right
Yeah, but the anniversary missed some details from the original...
Miniature Jayhawk like?
@@miniaturejayhawk8702 like what?
That's because it is a remake
@@papagroovy9909 you can see from orbit how the covenant nuked new mombasa at the end of the first mission.
important note: the original cutscenes were rendered in real time, i.e. they were the same graphics quality as the gameplay. the remastered cutscenes are pre-rendered by Blur studios, so they look much better than the gameplay (which still looks great). i'm not hating on the remaster, i just think there are some people who don't know this
You are correct.
@@GuyOnAChair Thank you for confirmation, GuyOnAChair.
Also on halo 4
That’s why halo 2 looks like GameCube graphics
@@Monkforilla i mean gamecube and og xbox were part of the same console generation so that's not inaccurate
The remaster looks exactly like what i thought the original game looked to me a over a decade ago
Word👌
I swear, bro
anniversary graphics make for a more beautiful world
yeah this is whats insane is that this is just exactly how it felt seeing it for the first time in kindergarten. i just wish that the sound effects had the same umf
You ain’t lie lol I was like I don’t rember it looking this wack when it first came out hahah
I think Halo 2 remastered should be the benchmark on how to do a game remaster. It does an incredible job at staying true to the source material while still delivering a modern aesthetic.
thanks for stating something different rather than the whole "original looks better" shit
@@murtazarizvi368 most think the remaster of 2 is better than the original. The case of the CE is different...
Thats how i saw it when i first played it as a kid
one thing i appreciate is that they weren't afraid to change the cinematography if it meant making the cutscene stronger. Certain shots stay the same, the same dialogue is used. but to make both those factors even stronger some shots and cuts were changed.
1:31 Cortana looks smacked out of her head
they didnt use face movement back then as games has today with actors
Cortana, as portrayed by Lindsay Lohan. 🤭
@@NimrodWarrior SAY WHAT NOW
the remaster game looks exactly like the one i played back in 2004 😆 damn, its amazing to see the difference now....
Halo 2: Anniversary Cortana is my favorite. Best face, and not unnecessarily naked.
Agreed, it’s the best she’s ever looked
The anniversary version almost like a remake,and it's really cool!
The blue cutscenes are exactly how I pictured halo 2 as a kid since the cutscene looked and felt like a movie
What makes this remaster so perfect is that it is a LITERAL REMASTER. its not like CE where the made certain objects look different and made the elites different and more bulky and also Ce Remaster looked unfinished. Halo 2 Anniversary kept the old look of the game while making it look up to date in terms of graphics. The chief armor still has the same exact tears in the armor like the original, all the enemies have their same looks, hunters look even BETTER, the sound design of the remaster is phenomenal. this is what you call a perfect remaster.
I live how they changed "soda" to "sugar water" lmao
"When you first saw the remaster, were you blinded by it's majesty?"
Rockstar should take notes cuz this is how you remaster a game
I preferred the halo 2 remastered because they went above and beyond the call of duty in the cut scenes. While in halo ce all they did was put higher textured models in place. like wtf! Who wouldn't of like seeing a better version of the cut scenes. Plus the game overall is way too bright and it kills the atmosphere in halo ce!
That's why halo 2 remastered is just better! They did good!
Halo 2 A absolutely shit on Halo CE A
The graphics. WHOA.
THE SOUND. RED EYES.
I don't know why but i still love older graphics sad to see time changing, its awesome though really is just wish for some of us their was a pause button!
cool comparison,keep in mind, the original was in game cutscenes, while halo 2 remastered are pre rendered
Isso sim é um remaster foda!!! E não aquela merda q a Rockstar vai entregar pra gente
это пример лучшего ремастера
Hahahahaha, eu vim aqui procurando alguém que tenha dito isso haha, o GTA Remaster lançou e é uma Merda
Preveu o futuro kkkk
Halo 2 is probably the best looking game I’ve seen so far
de halo me gusta como le meten realismo , que parecen personas de verdad en las nuevas entregas de halo
Remaster was so beautiful aside from some wonky shadows. I miss good Halo
well congratulations, you can now play 'good' halo on the PC!!! (don't get me wrong tho, Halo 5 is ass. played 2 games of pvp and then never played it ever again)
Specially Cortana 😍
Cutscenes is Remake
Gameplay is Remaster
I'm not a Halo's fan, but i loved this graphic improovment
I hope halo 3 anniversary releases
It's a shame every halo game doesn't have this kind of polished cutscenes...i mean it's a shame in general more games don't have this kind of cutscenes
Original: Rendered using in game engine and graphics, nothing too fancy
Remastered: Movie with game in it
Despite the cutscenes being done in a pre-rendered environment I have to say that they look absolutely gorgeous! From my experience most Halo cutscenes are rendered in real time, however Halo 2's remaster is such an improvement over Halo CE's motion capture cutscenes which feel very janky and weird when comparing it to the original which had similar issues but doesn't feel as bad for some reason. (Halo CE: Anniversary was my first CE experience, I never got to play the original. >.
The remastered looks like a movie
As someone who only started playing Halo from 3 onwards (never played CE or 2), Im grateful for these remasters. Am playing through number 2 now and it's awesome. Seeing these comparisons.... I think I'd have struggled to enjoy the original version!
My man you are lucky you had xbox 360 and halo 3 in 2007 or maybe later, at that time i was 3 years old, after 1 year later got my og xbox i had halo ce and another one with cars, at that time my father didn't want to buy me anymore consoles cuz i broke ps2 and a psp because i was a kid and didn't knew anything and now im 18 years old my og xbox still works amazing with halo ce and halo 2 i bought few months ago and recently i got ps3 and xbox 360 for 150€ in total and have halo 3 also, played Halo CE for total 10 years because it was the only game i had in my og xbox after the game with cars broke, Idk why i told you all these but i wanted to take it out for some reason
@@DoublEE.12 Get a newer Xbox X box one onwards or PC and get the MCC
The original is better
@@marybeltcheva7069 You must be blind then lmao
It's $50 to get the MCC Halo package. Is it worth it to get it on Steam are they gonna have decent multiplayer?
hell yea its worth it its 7 games lol
@@user-xp8wk1zt2p yes yoda but the problem is people on Steam are saying multiplayer for a lot of them are crap. so I want to know if there is at least one
@@__loafy__ multiplayer has never been halo strongest side. But if you just playing with mods and friends it is fun
@@user-xp8wk1zt2p Yoda.....I'm sorry to inform you....Halo multiplayer became its biggest selling point. Nobody is buying this pack for it single player campaign
@@__loafy__ i know lol
Holy hot damn~ Having played the original (and gotten attached to it), I can easily say I like both versions. WOW. I am blown away.~
this game and mafia 1 remake looks so amazing
On PC, you can press Tab to seamlessly switch between the remastered and original graphics, there is no loading screen, not even a tiny pause, it just instantly switches and it's so cool to compare the graphics, I do it all the time when playing it, it's so cool
Now that’s what I call a remaster
Pensé que el capitán era thanos
2:22 Damn. I never knew there was a vending machine on Cairo Station. 😂
They really nailed the movie part of halo 2s cutscenes in the remaster.
Somehow Ron Perlman's voice suits the new Hood more than the actual Ron Perlman Hood
The alien-like sound of the battle rifle will never be beat
They can make a movie with the remaster cutscenes
This really shows how they look from the other
This brings me back
The main thing about halo 2As sound design, is that it seriiusly fixed my biggest issue with the original game - it made weapons sound heavy, deep, and loud again. Halo one had such destinct loudness and sound to their guns, then halo 2 comes along and makes all the guns sound soft and light. Just compare the sound to the Halo CE Magnum and Assault Rifle to their Halo 2 counterparts. Halo ones magnum sounded heavyy and deep like a real fucking 44. Magnum, and the AR sounded like a cadence of swift and violent fucking War Drums. Then the SMG in halo 2 comes along, and i remember it soundong like slapping bread together, and dont get me started on the Halo 2 magnums little bitch gun sound. Halo 3s assault rifle sound like a bunch of flapping, so i was so godamn please that Halo 2A came along and made this shit feel HEAVY and loud again. Not just the guns either, EVERYTHING. It truly SOUNDS like a proper sequel to Halo CE. FINALLY.
The Halo 2 Battle rifle sounded lik "Dee dee dew, dee dee dew" and then the Anniversary Battle Rifle sounds like *"BAH DAH DOOM! BAH DAH DOOM!"*
Halo 2 Anniversary for president
Remastered cutscenes are now a whole movie
woooow, thought the thumb was a bait. cool REMAKE
The remaster definitely looks better, but ngl, I like the rougher and more handmade looking textures of the original. The new one is just a little too sleek for me. (And so many lens flares lol)
man i loved johnson. the remaster also looks so good, well done
Im not a player who has played halo since "Halo Combat Evolved" but the graphics rehanced look astounding the amount of work they put into it
You have missed a lot of the story
Bro it looks amazing I love halo 2 I’m so glad I started playing the anniversary on my series S
They should do the remaster for reach the cinematics would be legendary
Halo 3 is coming, I feel it, they are making it secretly or something but I feel it
Man the remastered is insane you can easily mistake it for a movie.
I still can't believe Halo 2 was released to the Original Xbox. It looks like an Xbox 360 game. You compare it with other games released in 360 it's on par.
To me Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 3 had great, clear, visually gorgeous graphics that hold up, I hate Halo Anniversary and thank god they didn't remake Halo 3. On the other hand, Halo 2's classic graphics are charming, but look bland, unfinished, and just not appealing, this is mostly due to the fact that original Bungie was originally gonna use an advanced stencil shadow engine that was shown off at the E3 demo, they cut it because it made the game more linear. The Remastered Graphics are so gorgeous, both in-game and in the Blur Cinematics.
Dude get out of here halo ce graphics do not hold up at all
@@ashyoshicharizard3949 Sure in polygon counts and animations they don't hold a penny, but in art direction, textures, bump mapping, and clear visuals, they hold astonishingly well.
@@ashyoshicharizard3949 the graphics may not have aged well in the game, but it's the atmosphere and art direction that have. The anniversary visuals kind of ruin the tone of the original game and only exacerbate the game's issues.
@@Void-Knull finally someone gets it
I never saw the original and I thought it's not that different but damn
THIS IS A REMASTER DONE RIGHT. GOOD JOB SABRE INTERACTIVE!!
Anniversary cutscenes look more realistic than real life, shame we never got a Halo show...
Gosh idk why but maybe cause I was young and playing halo is such a fond fond memory, and the nostalgia of the times I'd come home and race to turn on my Xbox I mean idk I just don't know what it is about it but I mean foook I still love the original over the remaster, don't get me wrong the remaster is fantastic but I still prefer the original.
When i was replaying every halo in the masterchief collection before infinite, man... halo 2 was the one i enjoyed the most! obviously before reach haha..
Cortana in remaster halo 2 is the best and the hottest version
What about halo 4
@@TonyMontana-kb7vk I think she looks great in both 4 and H2A
lord hood scares me when i tap TAB to see the original when i first played mcc on PC
F*** thats a REAL 10000% REMASTERED
"GTA triology is remaster not remake"😂
0:56 that is something between a fish and a human
Remaster is incredible
first time I ever thought this but did Lord Hood try to make a fucking joke and say "Iopologize" or am I bugging
Great remaster
Excelente remasterizado
This is just awesome
Ojalá Rockstar aprendiera de esto
I can't believe that this is a remaster and a remake
Original used ingame engine cutscenes, remaster/remake prerendered CGI, so ofc there is huge difference :D...you wouldnt able to do these kind of cutscenes with ingame engine. I mean many ingame engines do look really good in cutcenes these days, but pale in comparison what pre-rendered CGI cutscenes can be ofc
Damn I gotta get an xbox and relive my childhood this shit looks good did they do the same for halo 1?
Lord hood sounds and looks amazing
The remaster looks more like a remake than remaster considering how good it looks in comparison to the original.
Por como se ve, esto si es un remaster; no como el A.C 3 o el FF 8, por lo menos según cinemática x)
I still like Cortana being Purple and her hair/facial structure better than Anniversary, whatever happened to Cortana being purple? Why the switch to blue? I forget when it happened
The difference is unsettling
Graphics looks better than a toystory movie
From the point of view of animation, the original is "livelier". From the point of view of detail, the remaster textures are normal, but the facial features do not match, most likely the models are made in the generator
i love the graphics man damn
I’m going to cry
They might as well record real footage for halo anniversary version
I like the original more.
estos remasters le dan mil vueltas a los nuevos gta triology
pues si.....
Thanks god I'm original version taken from my friend 😊😂 but I want remastered
Halo 2 is a masterpiece
Its funny, the remaster is how I saw the original game when it came out for Xbox lol.
Tengo una pregunta¿Esto es real o solo es una educación?
Halo 2 has no right looking this good
I remember thinking halo 2 had such great graphics back in the day. It looks horrible now 😂 but this remaster looks nice
Looks better than halo ce
Now that's what u call a remastered 👍
Holy shit this looks good
0:57 why does he look like jay Garrick from the flash
I can see it
Bro wtf I thought this was a movie
Halo CE remaster: a little janky, some glaring faults that hold it back from being a direct upgrade.
Halo 2 remaster: Halo hasn't ever looked this good. Even Halo 3 and Reach are outdone.
I think I heard tf2 solider's scream
WHY DIDNT THEY DO THIS IN THE HALO 1 REMASTER
