See What Halo 3 Looks Like at 1080p/60fps in Halo: The Master Chief Collection

Halo 3 has been, perhaps, the part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection that fans have been most curious about, because it's not as shiny-new as Halo 4 (look for 1080p/60fps footage of that later this week), and it's not getting the Anniversary treatment that Halo 1 and Halo 2 are. So what does Halo 3 look like on the latest Xbox console? Take a look at the video above and see for yourself!

Saw this vid a while ago,its plays so smooth and the lighting actually looks a lot better, i can only imagine how good Halo4 will be.

Also the great thing about this collection is that on Nov 11th Halo fans on xbox one will be streaming all sorts of videos. There will be campaign streams from Halo 1 to 4 there'll also be multiplayer streams from over 100 multiplayer maps.

The content in this collection is huge and when gamers need to chill out after playing all day there will be halo nightfall to fall back on. Nice

Question: Will Halo MCC help Xbone sales? Everyone who has a Xbone gets it for Halo.

christocolus3487d ago

Did tlou ps4 sell more ps4s? Will a UC collection sell more ps4s? Will a zelda collection sell more wii Us?

YES YES and YES. I don't know how big the impact will be but im almost 100% certain that its going to sell even more xbox ones than Titanfall did.

nX3487d ago

It will certainly help sales, maybe more than any other X1 game this year. It just looks so dated, these games haven't aged well.

I_am_Batman3487d ago

Well I wouldn't get the X1 for Halo 5 because I haven't played any of the Halo games before. Now that the MCC is coming to X1 it gives me the option to catch up on the main games in the series so Halo 5 becomes a factor in the decision wether or not I should get an X1.

NeoGamer2323487d ago

@Bloodborn...
Over 60 million copies of Halo games sold...

Many millions of gamers respectfully disagree with your fanboy assessment... You may want to change your N4G tag off of Bloodborn... Maybe choose something like IHaveNothingBetterToDoThanSlag XB1? Because you have no positive comments about XB1.

Gazondaily3487d ago

@Bloodborn

These games have dated very well. Whats funny is, the likes of Halo 2 still stand head and shoulders above the deluge of wannabe Halo-killers that have tried and failed to dethrone these games.

Halo CE has a remastered version that looks great. Halo 2 anniversary is 2 gens old and loks great. Halo 3 is the weakest of the bunch. Halo 4 could pass off as a nezt gen game in some areas.

I thought they said it wasn't 1080p?

EDIT:

Immediately noticed the 60 frames. Its looks ultra smooth.

gjruk3487d ago

No they said H2A isn't 1080p because it runs two engines at the same time. Everything else is 1080p.

AngelicIceDiamond3487d ago

@gjruk Thanks for clarification.

christocolus3487d ago

@angelice

Gjruk beat me to it. Oh well..

That was Halo2 campaign. Halo 1, 3 and 4 campaigns is 1080p and Halo 1,2,3 and 4 mp is 1080p but the whole package(campaign and mp) will be 60fps.

Bigpappy3487d ago

I looks better than I expected, since it didn't get the full remake treatment like 2 did. Looks great to me actually.

christocolus3487d ago

My exact same thoughts. It looks really good.

s8anicslayer3487d ago

Who ever says 1080p 60fps doesn't matter is lying,look at how good this game looks at that setting...I can't wait to replay these classics over again!

Looking forward to this. I just got my xb1 today in the mail. Bought it mainly for media hub but looking forward to crackdown 3 and halo series again.

CYCLEGAMER3487d ago

Start downloading some games my friend, the system is awesome fun.

4Sh0w3487d ago (Edited 3487d ago )

Yeah, plenty to choose from, KI is a old school helluva fighter a few buds over to play with and its some insanely crazy shiii talking, Titanfall is a nice team player shooter, Ryse didnt score well but I really enjoyed the hack n slash gameplay with superb visuals, Dead Rising 3, Diablo 3 and Shadow of Mordor are all solid picks. If you like racing games even a little bit then by far the game I've enjoyed most so far this gen is Forza Horizon 2, its simply awesome, especially with a wheel. Soon of course this MCC will be out, its a no brainer for $60 but don't sleep on SSO it looks very entertaining, also although COD has plenty of critics and Ghosts was dissapointing to me I'm getting COD AW too, since I like what I've seen so far.

starchild3487d ago

Ryse is underrated in my opinion. I'm playing the PC version now and it's way better than I expected. Not only is it gorgeous to look at, but the narrative is good and the gameplay is actually fun.

I got completely the wrong impression from listening to some people hate on the game. The combat is similar to games like Shadow of Mordor or Batman Arkham City, only not as deep. But it's still enjoyable and definitely has more depth than I was expecting. Also, the finishing moves are optional (in order to give you more XP, health, focus, etc), but they look cool and I see nothing wrong with those kinds of timed button presses.

CYCLEGAMER3487d ago

@starchild
This is what I have been trying to tell people for the longest, but everyone wanted to hate on the game because it was an xbox exclusive, the game has a familiar combat system with a GREAT story, and it looks amazing.

tgunzz3487d ago

Get fh2 in there ASAP! Welcome, and game on!

tgunzz3487d ago

D4 is and I love it!! He should get that one too no doubt.

spicelicka3487d ago

media hub for real? you might be the only one who's bought an xbox one for that.

But now you have an awesome gaming machine, just as a side bonus.

vallencer3487d ago

I know plenty of people who've bought it for a media hub. Aside from a gaming system it IS a fantastic media hub!

3487d ago
parentoftheyear3486d ago

It really is a FANTASTIC media hub. I seriously can't believe it. We don't even have cable but the Xbox has tons of entertainment apps like MTV where we can login with a family members direct TV act and my wife can still watch her Snooki show. She's loving it. I really do love it more than I thought I would. I'm just a little sad I didn't get kinect. I feel like I'm missing alot. I won't spend $150 on one mau be 99 though. I just feel I would enjoy it so much more with kinect. I can now see where Microsoft was going with it. They have done well and people will eventually see the big picture.

parentoftheyear3487d ago

Thanks for the replies. I will check out dead rising for sure. Multiplat I will probably stick to ps4 since it's in the nerd cave and the xb1 is in the living room. It's very exciting though. I immediately fell in love with it after monthes of talking myself into buying it. Can't WAIT for sunset overdrive. Also cod not really my thing. Imma bf player.

I hate the ign player. So glitchy

Gazondaily3487d ago

Yeah its a terrible player.

ArtificiallyYours3487d ago

Such a beautiful game. All of these games are at their prime on a home console, never thought I could brag about this until the collection happened... Times are freaking sweet bro.

Killer app! It should be illegal that the game is only $60 with all the goodies..I felt like I'd robbed a store for getting it at that price. Halo 3 looks glorious in 1080p and run smooth as butter at 60fps.

Cutting Room Floor

343:

We have a special treat for you this month.

Something that becomes part of the great journey of many Halo fans is learning about all the stuff that didn’t make it into the games over the years.

When ambitious and talented developers are up against the challenges posed by limited time and resources, having to make tough decisions about what best serves the final product, many things end up in the horrifying tenth circle of Hell which Dante deemed too terrifying to tell us about: the cutting room floor.

I am so hyped for this bring halo 3,4, and 5 cut content too.

LordoftheCritics671d ago (Edited 671d ago )

2 years each dev time.

Add another 2 for co-op cut content.

Noskypeno671d ago

The stuff cut from halo 3 is like a game in itself. I would like to see the level that the map Guardian was based off of, make it next Gen only with the slipspace engine from 2018.

XiNatsuDragnel671d ago

That would be awesome Halo 3 cut edition would be fire

"When ambitious and talented developers are up against the challenges posed by limited time and resources"

Literally nothing in that sentence is anyway relatable to 343i.
