One of the things I like about recent Halo games is the ability to watch our previous endevour in theatre mode and take snapshots of our victories,(or fails, depending on what you want). However, I feel that even though we can already do a lot in theatre mode, such as watch in slow motion, zoom in to get that epic close-up shot, etc; there are ways that it could be improved, or rather, added to it to make it even better.
One thing I have thought of is the ability to tilt the camera a bit, as in, being able to take slanted snapshots and the like. I think this would be a good addition as it would help the player get more dynamic snapshots and close-ups. It may also be good for machinmas.
Another idea I have read about in one of these threads here is also pretty good; watching the movie in reverse, or rather, to be able to truly rewind. We have the ability to fast-forward, to speed up the movie. Why not have the ability be able to rewind the movie as well?
Finally, one of the things that actually annoys me at the moment about theare mode:
-‘Explosions start to disappear when you get near them.’-
…Couldn’t read the rest of that sentence could you?
That’s because it started to disappear, just like explosions do when you get near them or zoom in on them in theatre mode. I hope that in Halo 4 you can actually zoom in on the explosion and it won’t disappear like it has done before. That way some of us can finally get that snapshot we’ve always wanted to get. (A spartan walking through an epic fiery explosion for example)
So what do you think? Are some of these ideas good? Bad? Why, and how so? Do you have some good or better ideas than the ones here?
Discuss.
