I’m not a halo junkie by any means but as a casual halo campaign player, I thought this looked really nice. I know the halo hardcore are very particular but I liked what I saw.
I’d class myself as part of the hardcore, and I loved what I saw.
It looks incredible. I hope it plays just as good, but it’s Halo, so no worries there. But man how absolutely insane this year is. This and E-Day ? I can’t fucking wait, like even GTA VI will be on the back burner with this shit coming left and right.
I thought the new levels looked really good. I just hope performance holds up considering it is UE5.
In my opinion, of all their mistakes putting Halo in the Playstation is the biggest one. They corrected the course on Gears of War, hope they do the same for next Halo main entry. With that being said, the game looks great and, for sure, will be tons of fun.
So glad this is coming out so soon, will be a nice summer game and I could see myself planning my vacations around this since I don’t really have anything else planned this summer!
Hoping it’s well optimized as I’ll be playing it on my PC as it’s where I’ve been spending almost all of my time lately. Game looks gorgeous though, they’re really doing a good job with this remaster and it bodes well for the future of Halo!
I was worried the Halo art style was gonna be lost in the UE5 look especially for their first game on the engine but it’s looking super good in that regard, certainly better than the Anniversary remaster.
I’m very very glad they’re starting with Campaign evolved and not the next major Halo considering it’s a new engine. I remember watching Halo Infinite update live streams early after it launched and them outright saying THEY didn’t know what they could and couldn’t do in the new engine. Post launch support had such a hard time as they learned the new engine and had contractors they had to train on the new engine. Ideally unreal will solve this and having had developed Campaign Evolved will serve as much needed practice.
Wow, that’s some of the best use of Unreal 5 yet & its coming out very soon. Can’t wait
Yeah, I wasn’t really hyped for it initially, but it looked so good it’s definitely something I’ll jump into right away.
Same, I’m not a huge Halo fan but I really liked what I saw.
Halo CE is my favorite campaign in the series because for me it captures the “anything can happen” sandbox feeling in the best way. Set the stage, turn the player loose and see what unique and remarkable interactions result. I really hope the new version has that same spark.
Premiering now. Give it 5 minutes to see it from beginning.
This one shows more gameplay taking place in Halo 1 setting.
That looks really good. Totally captures the vibe of the original game rather than how Anniversary tried to reimagine it.
I can’t wait. It looks insane.
I honestly thought we would just get new mechanic and missions, but my God, they went crazy on content. They basically made Resident Evil mod Randomizer for Halo.
P.S. that infinite ammo named Bandana. I understood that reference.
This sounds perfect. They’re leaving the iconic set pieces as they were, while improving some of the repetitive and confusing areas. And it sounds like they have a good understanding of which is which.
