~ Is this the real life/ Is this just fantasy ~

Mr. David Ellis very recently tweeted this lovely teaser shot. My title is what it is because from this shot, it is very hard to tell if this is in-game render or live-action (probably the former).

Either way, I leave you to drool over this beautiful thing.

That picture is presented at the very end of the vidoc.

It looks live-action. That shadow looks too smooth to be from the game itself. Besides, 343i is already recruiting people for the live-action commercials so I wouldn’t be too surprised if that’s an early shot.

On a separate note:

Caught in a landslide
No escape from realityyyy

hmmm, LuridShadowX, you can edit your posts.

Also, that could be Live Action, or it could be in game, I’ve seen some realistic shots from games.

Ah, any thread making a Bohemian Rhapsody reference scores a +100 in my books.
Good job OP.

On topic:
Looks like this is ingame.
Just look at how the gun is being held. How many people in real life would keep their fingertips 2-3 cm away from the side of the gun they’re holding (in this pose)?
Nobody. Because we always grasp anything we have in our hands.

But when you compare that pose (gun laying on palm of the hand, but fingers not really touching it) to the other screenshots, like this one you see a similar effect. Sure: angle is different so it’s hard to notice but its something that really has always been in any Halo game.

The teaser looks like its in game, and then go the Photoshop treatment to make the colors more saturated which creates that effect where you blur the line between in game and real life.

Not sure if it’s live action or in-game, as the ground detail looks pretty real.

Any way the wind blows
Doesn’t really matter to me…

to me…

I see what you mean.

it does look very much like a different angle from some of the screenshots we got.

But the detail does seem very, very smooth. That and it’s been confirmed they are starting Live Action commercials so possibly could be real.

There are 3 Signs that it IS in game. First off, the hand holding the Battle-rifle has room between the Weapon, and fingers. Secondly, the shoulder armor isnt connected to his upper arm like we see in the vidoc. Lastly, When you look at the shoulder piece on his right side, you can see how jagged it looks. Like a game, not Real life.

Yeah, more a look at it and certain sections such as hands and shoulder makes me realise it is game.

Still, if it fools people into believing that it looks real, then that is a good sign.

Definitely. :slight_smile:

It’s very nice cinematic, it’s to show of the dynamic lighting in Halo 4 and it’s amazing.
