Pretty much says it in the name.
Also, just to clarify for those who don’t know, the file share system that exists in Halo MCC DOESNT allow you to upload video files. It only works for game and map variants and screenshots.
I think we need to be able to A: save files onto the hard drive that we can access at any given point of time rather than be limited to a temporary history of 12 videos that are cycled out and deleted. We B: need to have to ability to upload our funny/cool files to the Halo file share so that our friends can access them like we’ve been able to do since Halo 3.
And before you start with the whole, “we don’t need it anymore with the Game DVR” shpeel, please just hear me out.
The thing that got me most amped about Halo 3 back in the day was the vidoc that revealed the new theater mode. As someone who loved the idea of having cinematographic freedom to create Halo movies, it was super exciting.
i love making cinematographic Halo movies.
I had a ton of fun making that.
The way that last halo theaters worked was I could go into any one of my favorite games that I had saved, even if they were YEARS OLD, and capture each moment from any camera angle that I could think of. I could take those shots and cut them together to make sequences that were far better than a simple solid chunk of video recorded from a single perspective.
I can still do some of that now but without the ability to save clip files and view them whenever I want to within Halo, I pretty much have to stop everything that I’m doing and go capture a scene immediately lest it gets cycled out of the temporary twelve video history and I lose it forever.
The ability to save clips and upload them through file share also makes it possible to get the same type of coverage with friends funny videos.
the game DVR function is a great tool but it doesn’t replace the amazing theater system that was already in place. Clips recorded to the game DVR can not be reviewed from angles other than the ones that they were recorded in. It means that I wouldn’t have had the ability to even finish the video I showed. I didn’t have enough fails to build a whole piece but my friends had plenty of moments to share. They helped me complete the puzzle.
the game DVR doesn’t offer enough creative freedom to replace the Halo theater system. Please 343i, this is my only qualm with your new collection. Please remedy this for those of us who like to create.
