THEATRE unofficially confirmed

Well the Red vs Blue video is out and from what I can tell theatre is definitely in the game (how else would they film it). What advancements do you think theatre needs to make it a better experience or make it smoother? I personally liked Reach’s, but had a problem with the fact that is not precise enough when it comes to rewinding.

So for now, I’ll try and compile a list of all the improvements needed in the Halo 4 theatre, starting with a better rewinding system:

  1. Better rewinding system
  2. Bring Back Party viewing (PersonifiedHell)
  3. Record in any speed you like (trueguitarist95)

Feel free to leave a comment and maybe we’ll get 343’s attention with it.

Bring back party viewing

How did they film in Halo: CE and Halo 2?

  1. Ability to record in any speed you want

I hear what you’re saying but I doubt they used a third party software like FRAPS to record it, don’t you agree?

In Halo CE, they hid their weapon or zoomed in via editing software so you could only see the reticule, which was in a lot of the original RvB Episodes I believe.

For Halo 2, they did a glitch with the Oddball which when zoomed in, allowed for no HUD, replicating a theatre looking view.

Yeah… How did Rooster Teeth film in Halo CE and Halo 2? How did This Spartan Life film in Halo 2 and LIVE shoots? There are more ways to film a video in Halo than just Theater mode.

This, this, and again…THIS!!!

Yes I know that theatre isn’t the only way, but be honest, do you really think it’s anything else? C’mon man ,don’t be so sour.

> Bring back party viewing

this please, or at least for 2 players, 4 max

No invisible barriers in Theater. Let the camera roam freely.

It’s already bad enough that we are confined by invisible barriers in the other modes.

Yes, this is needed.

Better forward/rewind controls would definitely be great. I hate rewinding a few steps in a long film and suddenly it jumps back over 20 minutes.

Different speeds would be nice-ish, but not necessary; pretty much any film editing software can handle that once the film is on a computer.

Party viewing would be good.

First-person view option for ALL players’ POV instead of only being available in the creator’s POV?

Well, they could have easily used a capture card to record it, but anyway, theatre is going to be in halo 4 regardless of how they film the red vs blue; the day they take out theatre, the earth will go hurdleing into the sun and blow up in a explosion of purple pixy dust from which unicorns will be born. :slight_smile:

Super fast forwarding for long BTB games would be great.

it would be cool to have weapon lowering for machinamas and -Yoink- like that

Record in game chat, And record other Perspectives of others too

I never even thought!

  1. Bring Back H3’s Theatre Mode
  2. Add live Spectator Mode (like CoD, GoW, SC2, etc)
  3. Profit
