We can only dream that they do that someday, even if it doesn't seem likely now.
No, these were all press release shots back when the game was initially created. Yes, they were higher resolution than the game itself. Nothing new.
Free Radical. And no, it wasn't finished, although this wasn't the last build.
I assure you its not. Look at the other content on my site, I have very, very trust-able developer sources (Of course, none of them work for Bioware, so I cant confirm directly).
Anythings possible with this one, unfortunately. I have no more info then those two pictures. Still thought it was good to bring to the attention of people.
Its called turning on the game and playing Hardcore mode, without ever playing the game prior. I take the video I can get from my sources, and this happened to be it. It also makes for a short video, as HD = huge file size
Glad you like it :P Now if only the PS3 would counter with some new, quality titles on the PSN
Yeah, he seems more like an afterthought in my time playing the game. The game does have the usual repeat problems, but the biggest problem is the lack of play specific calls or even names, a lot of times the announcer will just say "The Quarterback" or "The Kicker", not the player itself. The announcing does have some nice surprises, including making fun of John Madden's announcing.
Thus the joys of it being the first game I played ;) Hence the "First Play"
If you watch the video, I believe you'll see that this goes pretty far beyond what could be done on the retai, unless I somehow missed a large section of the options menu. I know they had the default, vivid, etc, but nothing like the video has.
Yeah, a lot of the ideas in this beta can be found within the final Halo 3. Theres also some game modes I didnt cover yet, but thats for another time.
If you look at my site, it is all about betas that shouldnt be in my hands. Halo 2 Beta, Unreleased Games, such as Diablo for the Gameboy, and much, much more.
Eh hard to tell, I only had limited time to move around before it crashed. Bowling doesnt use the Sixaxis, theres an older video somewhere on my site, but Im not too sure if its active after Stage6 shut down.
The 720P videos arent up right now. They will be after the load. There isnt a seperate place to view the SD videos yet either, my bandwidth on my computer is quite limited right now. Give it some time.
If it errors out, refresh. Support seems to have helped a lot of the errors that occured earlier
Thanks, I appreciate it. Send me a PM if theres a specific PS3 thing that you'd like to see. I actually have all the videos available in HD as well, they just haven't been posted yet since my site is under strain as it is.
Edit: Too many people flocking all at once. No worries, it'll be there guys heh
Lots of people on the site :) So long as it remains up, just have some patience :)
Problem is being worked on, dont worry ;)
Thanks, Im glad you enjoyed it. If you check out the archives of my site, you'll find HD720P footage of at least two previous Home builds.
And I apologize in advance for Internal Server Errors, just hit refresh.
Oh, and I also apologize if the site goes down at any time hah, should be a good test of how the server handles a load, and if it needs to be upgraded.
A prototype console from before it came out. Not lame.
