They are really quite poor, but I understand it is hard to make things look the way you want when you have to scale and apply it perfectly against a game that currently exists.
It is a very fun game though and I’m loving it.
Anyone want to play co-op now?
I don’t mind doing any difficulty.
GT: White Bandicoot
Message me on live. I want to play some today if possible.
From what I’ve seen it looks great…?
I’ve seen some high res video on the Net, I think it’s a-freakin’-mazing.
You may just not be used to the true vibrant Halo theme in this current generation.
The cut scenes are pretty bad; those facial animations are terrible, and Cortana is extremely wooden. Other than that, it’s looks good.
looks great to me, although, you might think it doesn’t look all that great because it’s using the original skeletons and movements, so, not modern in that way
Unfortunately we’re working with Hardware from 2005. Keeping that in mind, Anniversary is looking great.

They kept the original’s skeletal animations, that’s why the look so ‘bad’ compared to standards nowadays.

I sense Sarcasm…
The title should have been “The graphics are awesome for a 2001 game”.

Why? The cutscene animation and camera work has been taking a lot of flak.
I think otherwise.

No they weren’t.
Here’s the thing, though. Compare Halo: CEA to, say, the MGS collection that just came out, or really, ANY HD collection that’s been released as of late. Those are the same graphics with 720p and anti aliasing, this is a new engine built on top of the old one. It looks superior to any remake that’s come out.

they still used the skeleton structures and the same animations. they just upped the graphics. so the weirdness of the the cutscenes then would still be weird now, except better graphics xD

Oh my god, NO THEY DIDN’T! The cut scenes use all new mo cap, it’s been stated several times and it’s very obvious when you compare them to the 2001 animations. The new facial animations, however, are very poor for 2011. There were tonnes of threads about it when we first saw the opening cut scene.
They look pretty good.
You have it already???

They did? must have missed that one. sorry. and i havnt watched any cut scene vid for the game either. i only saw the “343” demo.
Oh wow. just watched it. your right. it is very obvious.
The cutscenes are astonishingly poor at times regards to Chief and his portrayed manner. It’s now all so exagerrated so say goodbye to those clever and subtle scenes from the original and say hello to a nodding yes and no Chief- for the sake of patronising anyone that might not understand the scene. 10 years ago we didn’t get a nodding Chief and it was perfectly clear what the the scene was about. Not just that but the actor doing the mocap over emphasizes his actions and it comes off as just naff half the time
Cortana’s timing is very poorly matched as well
Basically 343 really mucked these great scenes up along with other blaringly stupid issues this game now has
Idiots

Hehe, sorry for getting angry, I’ve just heard that excuse too many times.
