GC07: Exclusive Halo 3 footage

GC07: Exclusive Halo 3 footage

We want to thank Microsoft, Bungie and most of all Brian Jarrard for the awesome exclusivity we just landed since we managed to shoot the 17 minutes long presentation of the single player part of Halo 3. This is the first part that's just supposed to be a small sample of the good stuff to come as soon as we make sure our servers are not melting. It showcases the incredible replay feature on the Tsavo Highway level you"ve all come to know and love already. Have fun :)
Update: First gameplay video showing the very beginning of the level.
Update 2: And the second one is online :)
Update 3: Third part of the presentation is online.
Update 4: Last update for today, with the second to last part of the presentation.
Update 5: And here comes the last part! The full presentation will be available in the next few days.

Cool I like when games has these sort of features. I am not Halo fan to be honest but I thought that looked pretty good. I might pickup Halo to just play with that replay thing :D

Ahhh the future of console gaming as a spectator event is slowly coming. PC gamers have been transfering demos for years for fans and friends alike to admire someone or some teams play.

Although I had no sound for this I do hope this is a feature that will extend onto online matches as well as co-op.

It's a good start.

ditto to that. best feature of halo 3 so far imo. this will be a god send for creating methods of getting past certain areas on legendary and posting it to help people out, i can imagine a lot of movie based FAQS coming from this game.
Not only that but things like campaing glitching, finding easter eggs and skull tutorials will be loads easier now.

I am sure those replay files are quite small.

Yeah hopefully they have a good way of compressing them. I remember old CS demo's taking up 60 meg a pop before you zipped them up.

Hot stuff, can,t wait to play this monster.
Commented on 2007-08-24 15:35:13
the videos are very small.

bungie stated that you aren't actually storing video files (like .wmv or .avi files), but rather you are storing data that will allow the movie viewer recreate the events with the Halo 3 engine based on the data.

so that is why movies of battles in the halo 3 beta were like between 5-9 megs for a 10 minute battle.

It is not recorded in the traditional way. It runs the engine and compiles everything again because the person is able to move around the map with the camera. If it was recorded then it would be in the Gigs of storage space it needs to take.

Yeah i know the method they record it. (you wouldn't be able to go zooming around in a wmv file)

Good news on the file size tho. Anything to avoid the ridiculous price of a 120gig HD

This would also allow people to see how other players strategize in maps. Learn from the better players and improve their own play.

The amount of clan show off videos we are going to get online will be as sickening as CS was.
Commented on 2007-08-24 15:47:09
It will only make the following of this game even larger
Videos of the game were pretty popular in Halo 1, not so much Halo 2 it seemed. But this should make it even easier than before.

ya many people on scene said the campaign has next to no jaggies at all and was running silky smooth... games looking more wicked every time we see it, and from what i heard the campaign maps are MASSSSSIIIVEEEE 4 player coop here i come!

Looks amazing. The light shining off that pelican looked godly.

I hope all this talk about jaggies having being decreased considerably is true.

I saw what looks like a 3rd person camera is that in the game? or is it just with certain weapons?
