Best thing about halo 1 and halo 3 is the texture details, halo 1 has the neat little detail textures that shows when you stop and look really close halo 3 has the same but with also added bumpmaps it really gave depth to the game world as you zoom in on cheif and notice little scratches and dents in the armor unfortunately detail textures isnt so popular in the remasters or newer halo games they just generally amp up the texture resolution but have no added detail textures that improves the look up close so you dont see the individual pixels because you do even in h2 anniversary.
I don't like how they seem to lighten up certain areas and reduce the contrast unnecessarily, it detracts from the art style and aesthetic of the original that I adore.
Bro, just turn down your UI GAMMA for halo mcc and the problem is completely fixed. Halo 3 for the Xbox 360 has its gamma to about 4.6 or 4.4 while the gamma for halo mcc has it set automatically to 5. There is literally no difference (thankfully) from the original game.
Original: 960x540 Low quality textures No anti-aliasing 30fps target but unstable fps. Remastered: 1920x1080 High quality textures 4x MSAA Locked 60fps You still think the original is the best?
The Remastered version with it being 60 FPS (and higher FPS in general) also gives you better control of your character's actions. It allows you to be more precise and less jerky in your aim. Having a higher framerate allows you to give more input faster from your controller or M&K into the game compared to someone who has a lower framerate.
It's just a polished port of the original, the real remaster is coming in 2017, at the 10 year anniversary, just like they did with Halo: CE and Halo 2. I'm very sure.
That moment when you want a *Halo 3: Anniversary* with Blur Studios cutscenes, a slightly remastered soundtrack and enhanced graphics gameplay like *Halo 2: Anniversary.*
I would say keep marty's track but the dude has proven to be an ass. So yes, slightly newer track. Bungie is far worse unfortunately given recent evidence proving scandalous and hypocritical happenings within the company. That being said... ODST still has the best soundtrack, Martin O'Donnell being a pos or not. And Halo still has a huge place in my heart.
looks exactly the same only a little sharper on the details, i'm not complaining i'm just pointing out the obvious, what would have been awesome if they done the cinematic and remodeled the characters in game play like they done to halo 2 that would have been awesome
JakestaSWG I wouldnt be so sure...With Halo 2 updated to "modern" day, the graphical differences between the games are not so huge anymore, although ofcourse Halo 3 now looks the most dated in many ways, especially compared to H2 anniversary and H4....but ye I dont think 343 Industries is going to remaster every Halo for its 10th anniversary just for the sake of it....I think H2 is where they are going to draw the line, especially now that H3 is available as it is on Xbox One with the MC collection.
guys halo 3 and 4 are only upgraded to 1080p and 60 fps, there wasnt supposed to be a huge difference, the focus was on halo 2 being completely remastered. the focus wasnt on 3 or 4 but the remastered versions of those will most likely be coming soon
1. It's not Halo 3: Remastered 2. The bump up to 1080 removes a lot of horrible jaggys that were there previously, and let's you see the textures in a higher resolution. 3. The bump up to 60 frames a second makes the animation buttery smooth, take a look at 0:57 4. There are some lighting changes, makes some bloom and reflections look really good. I think it could use a little more contrast especially with the shadows but still an improvement overall.
Just to say on that No.3 point, I'm basically 100% sure that footage is purposefully slowed down to show the shot of the pelican for a greater amount of time as opposed to the frame rate tanking, I've played a lot of Halo 3 on original hardware and the frame rate was never so terrible there at all.
All they did was crank the fps to 60 and the resolution to 1080p. Not a very good comparison video as the other half of the changes they made can't be present with your video capped at 30fps.
@InfiniteGamingHD lmao this aged like milk. The game looks and plays great in 4K on my PC plus reshade makes the lighting look way better than the original. Only an idiot would hate on the PC port.
Original halo 3 was and still is my favorite game of all time. It still breaks my heart it wasn't actually remastered. The whole online experience and custom games are what made it great and now forge maps etc are gone!! It's not even halo 3 without it.
I think it was a wise decision for them to prioritise 60fps and leave the graphics more or less unchanged (with improvements to anti aliasing, resolutions etc).
Maybe, the 10th anniversary remaster of Halo 1 came out too soon for another remaster 3 years later. But I think Halo 3 will be remastered next year for the 10th anniversary of that game. I don't have the M.C.C. so is Halo 2 the only newly remastered game?
Doomguy thing is... You paying for better optimization in all seriousness. Which is like what 30 to 40 bucks? Lol with a sharper image? 60 fps isn't that great to warranty paying more for. All seriousness higher resolution, cleaner shadows/lighting and fps boosts are the very minimum basic for a remaster of a game.
Not a remaster. The MCC version still has the same polygon count. I'd imagine the physics weren't enhanced either, not to mention particle effects (grass, hair etc). Don't get me wrong, I love the 4k facelift - but we have to reserve the use of the R-word for exceptional efforts.
It was only Halo 2 in MCC that got the remaster treatment. Everything else was just bumped resolution/framerate. Come on, use your memory, 2014 wasn't that long ago...
Cod mwr is not a remaster it’s a remake and Activision are only fueling the confusion gamers have between the two words even more so by labeling it as such
halo 3's graphic is still good in today's standard. Bungie has this level of meticulousness in their graphics that it looks so consistent throughout the gameplay
Remaster has way more fog and milk haze far and close distance. The Original has deeper dark shadows which i prefer and is more clear on distance view. I would run it like I did in the old days - 1080p Upscaled with 5.1 Pioneer Surround Sound fiber optic on Xbox360 Elite.
Can it upscale to 1080p? It says 1080p on the back of the box but some people are saying it runs sub 720p. Also does that fiber optic fix the crappy assault rifle sound?
If you play splitscreen it looks like sub 720p. Other then that it always looked sharp and good on my Samsung tv. The fiber optic 5.1 sound was great for directional sound. Plus if you are playing with a loud group its much better to be able to crank the volume up.. The assault rifle sound is taste dependent. It never bothered me much.. Better then in Halo2. Overall one of the best games I got to know back in the days.
@@RayBen555 it's not the sound of the AR it's more the lack of it. Whenever characters or nemies speak it gets totally drowned out and turning up the TV helps but doesn't fix the problem. And of course bungie didn't include any sound options which sucks balls and is totally ridiculous like every game has them. I didn't notice how weak it was till I replayed Halo CE and was like wow big difference. It's so beefy in the first game it's ridiculous. Halo 3 is still fun af tho
@@loremaster6828 People often make this complaint and it was kind of this big thing between Xbone and PS4 around their launches that the Xbone only actually displayed in 900p were as the PS4 was outputting full 1080p (depending on the game) Truth be told though, when it comes to most every console game especially in the latter years of the Seventh Generation they were all being up scaled to 1080p for their output, great examples of this are, Destiny, MGS: Ground Zeroes and The Last of Us - the reality of this is though that the game's managed to squeeze enough fidelity out that the lower internal resolution actually didn't matter so much and the visuals while defiantly being more fuzzy and containing more jaggies, was still damn impressive. If you want a classic example of this, have a look at screen size option in Doom, for less powerful hardware you could run it at a smaller internal resolution and get better performance with essentially the same visuals but.. you know smaller - same concept. It just makes me sad to see people who are likely untalented and exceedingly ignorant to game development and the great ingenuity that goes into getting these games both looking good and running well boiled down to, "WELL IT DOESN'T RUN AT 1080p INTERNALLY SO ITS FUCKING RUBBISH" a funny sentiment really when most of the games running at these low internal resolutions still look bloody fantastic even today.
there is something weird going on in the shadows, its like they are oddly lightened in the remaster, there is a noticeable loss of color saturation as well. wish it wasn't a sidegrade in many areas.
What a lovely light touch remaster. Yeha it's sad we didn't get a full H2A style visual overhaul but we are so lucky they did such a nice job on what IS there. It's a clear upgrade in nearly every way and a great release.
The whole point of MCC was to have all the Halo games on one console at 60 fps 1080p they didn't want to completely remaster the games because they want to wait for the games 10 year anniversary
Imma be honest even with glasses i really don’t see much of a difference compared to halo 2 remastered and I know it is a few year difference but still I think halo 2 looks better in comparison
My theory is that they will do a Remaster after Halo Infinite, using the Slipspace engine. It would make A LOT of money, since the engine is already there, and Infinite mostly uses 3's art syle, they could simply reuse a lot of assets from Infinite to make a 3 Remaster. Similar to how the Halo 1 remaster reused a lot of Reach assets.
daniel lawl Make a screencapture to the comparation between the original and the remastered, open the image and put all the zoom, then you will see the magic
Friend: "isn't halo that one game where you stand on beaches and kill alien zombies with a gun that allways says 32 on it?" Me who has played every halo game: "no, it's more than that, it was a game that gave us childhood, memories and friends with its AMAZING campaign and unique gameplay, it was the good days"
***** I don't know where I was complaining, honestly. I was just making sure everyone knew, y'know, help the community. I say we drop this and move along.
When you actually play halo 3 on the master chief collection you can tell right away there's a significant boost to the fame rate it feels much smoother but other than that there's not much different but honestly the game still looks amazing
i have it running on the Xbox One S on a 50 inch hd tv. it looks unbelievable. never thought i would see such good framerate and resolution on a big screen. Surround sound to go with that
The original and remastered version are pretty much the same, except for the remastered version having more lighting and is more HD and with an additional frame of 60fps. To be honest when I first played the remastered version, I wasn't entirely impressed; I felt like I was playing the same exact Halo 3 from my xbox 360. 343 should have at least updated Halo 3 with a little more better graphics; maybe by making it look real as Halo reach or a bit realer than reach. They should also have made Halo 3's cinematic cutscenes with actual CGI like how they did Halo 2 anniversary's cinematic cutscenes. Hell, Halo 3's cutscenes look awful compared to Halo 2 anniversary's cutscenes.
Maybe. It depends how much money Halo 5 will make, and if they actually are gonna make a Halo 3 anniversary. The mcc was great to me. It was just the remastered Halo 3 that I found a bit disappointing, it needs a little bit of better graphics than its original. Don't deny it.
Point man I don't know where you get this idea that I'm denying it - in my original post, I give various reasons as to why that is the case, that's one step past acceptance, y'know. Halo 5 is going to make a lot of money considering the vast amount of preorders they are getting (mine being one of them, since my birthday usually coincides with the release of a new Halo, so why not), and the servers have an astronomically low chance of failing at launch, so there's not going to be a fiasco like MCC. The gameplay is good (for once), and it will have already scared off the people who don't like the look of it from buying the game, so there's not a lot of chance of many people returning it. Considering that, Halo 5 will very likely at least meet predicted sales quotas and has a low chance of being a flop. Though, 343 have said that they're drawing the line at Halo 2 (which is really a shame, because Halo 3 is my favourite Halo), and if they want to start developing it, they have to start by the beginning of 2016 at the latest, lest they run out of time (and I'm certain no one wants that to happen).
They shouldn't stop at Halo 2. But you're right and time constraints is the issue. However, they don't need to focus on making a Halo 3 anniversary, if time is truly the case; they can at least remaster Halo 3 again, more later rather than 2017.
Point man Besides, while Halo 3's graphics are undoubtedly the most dated in the collection, I doubt remastering them in 2017 would update them THAT much. It'd look nicer, sure, but remastering them in, say, 2020 maybe would be a better course of action in my opinion. There are more positives to doing it later rather than sooner, at any rate. In my opinion, they should remaster the entire original trilogy as a tribute to its success.
2:21 is probably the best example why people prefer the original version and if you can't understand why please do not ever work in post-processing for any industry.
Halo 3 wurde ja auch gar nicht veränndert. Es läuft jetzt halt nur in 1080p und 60fps (Genauso Halo 1 und 4). Einzig Halo 2 hat eine komplette Generalüberholung bekommen.
Mojo Bojo Meine Befürchtung ist ja wenn irgendwann Halo 3 auch noch in einer überarbeiteten Version raus kommt dann macht diese ganze Master Chief Collection kaum noch sinn wenn es noch mal einzeln kommt (aber auch nur wenn)
Reaper Drache Sinn macht diese Collection auf jeden Fall da sie ja (fast) die komplette Halo-Reihe auf die Xbox One bringt. Wie sie das dann in ein paar Jahren (2017 wenn ich mich nicht irre) mit einer möglichen überarbeiteten Version von Halo 3 lösen weiß ich allerdings auch nicht...vielleicht als 20€ DLC für die Master Chief Collection?
Schade, in game fällt das HD update deutlich geringer ins Gewicht als bei den Intros, aber ich denke fans werden auf ihre Kosten kommen. Bei 1:23 hat der Typ nen Haarschnitt bekommen...
Typhoonproductions Dammit! We'll, at this point, i would just play all the original games separately, cuz at least i get a working multiplayer. Fuck it, i'm getting a new 360...
I don't see it as a waste of time, cause it probably didn't take much work at all. Plus if you are a fan of higher resolutions, anti-aliasing, antistropic filtering (texture filtering), and 60fps it'll be quite noticeable on the feel of the game
the main key difference's remastered as its called was rendered at 1080 - 1920 60fps the original 1152 - 640 at 30fps so lighting would been seen and work more dynamically it was just the limits of the hardware in the day the one just showed off how it should have looked if rendered in true 1080 back in its day so the only change is resolution and fps the remastered just shows the original beauty for what it truly was meant to be shown at if hardware wasn't an issue back then.
It's the same just some improvements on the resolution, the original was sub HD 1152x640, the "Remastered" is just 1920x1080p native, no other difference.
I would hardly class this as a remaster so much as a touch up its like the difference between a 780p and a 1080p video there's a enough to notice a little but if you never told anyone about it I don't think many people would have noticed
I don’t know why they titled the video “remastered”, it’s literally the same game rereleased in a collection on newer consoles. The real Halo 3 anniversary sadly never came out.
Was mir aufgefallen ist bei Halo 3, kann es sein das 343 Guilty Spark durch eine neue Version ausgetauscht wurde? Ich hab ihn in Halo 3 jedenfalls nicht so "shiny" und rund in erinnerung.
4 года назад
It's slightly brighter? It really looks like they didn't have to enhance very much at all. Original still looks good after nearly 13 years
The original Halo 3 had so much better saturation. But many will only notice the resolution in MCC has been upscaled, which may appeals more than the saturation level.
Okay, i will have to say while i can make out the slight improvements it is HARDER to spot the better graphics when everything is shown from either different angles or in one of the forms the figure is covered in shadow.

it isn't happening sadly...
Typhlo9797 it probably will, giving that they did halo 2 and halo 3 was way more popular and successful.

They said that about halo 2 anniversary, and it happened.
WBp 73 but it wasnt finnished. not just the remaster, the whole game was broken.
The graphics still look really good for the original version. considering that if came out in 2007
King_holli 2007 was Crysis year either
Funny thing is, it's 640p..
I'd rather have a good story and classic fun than good graphics. I mean look at Halo 5... Pretty much switched a good story for good graphics.

Imma be honest even with glasses i really don’t see much of a difference compared to halo 2 remastered and I know it is a few year difference but still I think halo 2 looks better in comparison
3 looks better than 2's classic graphics.
If you pause at 1:25 and look at the textures, you do see the anti-aliasing come into play.
4:50 Don’t even dare look at the fuck up of a remaster and tell me it looks better.
Its two different models. The guy on the right basically always looked like that
My theory is that they will do a Remaster after Halo Infinite, using the Slipspace engine. It would make A LOT of money, since the engine is already there, and Infinite mostly uses 3's art syle, they could simply reuse a lot of assets from Infinite to make a 3 Remaster. Similar to how the Halo 1 remaster reused a lot of Reach assets.
I love Halo and i will probably end up buying MCC, but there is hardly any fucking difference, is it just me?
Fucky FuckPants Halo 3 and 4 just had their resolution, textures, and framerate touched up. Buy it for Halo 2.
Frame rate and resolution bumps are much needed over original
It looks a bit more polished but I want a remastered like Halo CE or Halo 2
Halo 2 remaster was 10 times better than halo ce remaster because blur studios did it
There's like.m
no difference at all
daniel lawl Only the fps.
daniel lawl Make a screencapture to the comparation between the original and the remastered, open the image and put all the zoom, then you will see the magic
It's not as easy to tell on a RUclips video capped at 30 fps
but as a person who has played it on an Xbox One, Halo 3 MCC looks a lot better, trust me
daniel lawl things are just less pixely
There is a big difference.
To me it looks like they fixed the laddering effect the older generations had but mad the shadowing to bright
Friend: "isn't halo that one game where you stand on beaches and kill alien zombies with a gun that allways says 32 on it?"
Me who has played every halo game: "no, it's more than that, it was a game that gave us childhood, memories and friends with its AMAZING campaign and unique gameplay, it was the good days"
Far less jaggies, better texture resolution and 1080p all at 60fps. Awesome.
They fucked up a lot of the shading, but apart from that, looks great.
Id have to disagree there
the people who made the video really just needed to lower the gamma level and that pretty much fixes the problem
I hate that when people compare they don't put it side by side
GUYS, LISTEN
Halo 3 is NOT remastered yet. It will probably be remastered in 2017
AIphawolf meh, doesn't really matter
AIphawolf Why are you being unnecessarily offensive? lmao
AIphawolf yes.
AIphawolf Anywho, thanks for hitting me up to correct me.
I'll keep the differences in mind next time :)
***** I don't know where I was complaining, honestly. I was just making sure everyone knew, y'know, help the community.
I say we drop this and move along.
This is not a remaster - it's a re-touch. The resolution has been increased, because the processor can handle the right frame rate.
After playing halo 2 remastered this was painful to play
+Alejandro G. Well, you should have played the game when it came out kid.
+TheELLanOs well you should've made a better comeback kid.
Whats the name of the mission at 2:24
When you actually play halo 3 on the master chief collection you can tell right away there's a significant boost to the fame rate it feels much smoother but other than that there's not much different but honestly the game still looks amazing
i have it running on the Xbox One S on a 50 inch hd tv. it looks unbelievable. never thought i would see such good framerate and resolution on a big screen. Surround sound to go with that
Halo 3 remake I can so not wait lol
Even though for an old game this looks pretty good!
it isn't happening...
Slightly off-topic, but: That's some of the best stock music I've heard!
Mind telling me what it is, Candyland? (artist and title)
The original and remastered version are pretty much the same, except for the remastered version having more lighting and is more HD and with an additional frame of 60fps. To be honest when I first played the remastered version, I wasn't entirely impressed; I felt like I was playing the same exact Halo 3 from my xbox 360.
343 should have at least updated Halo 3 with a little more better graphics; maybe by making it look real as Halo reach or a bit realer than reach. They should also have made Halo 3's cinematic cutscenes with actual CGI like how they did Halo 2 anniversary's cinematic cutscenes. Hell, Halo 3's cutscenes look awful compared to Halo 2 anniversary's cutscenes.
Point man While their budget could likely handle updating Halo 3's cutscenes, time constraints were a big issue. There's always 2017, right?
Maybe. It depends how much money Halo 5 will make, and if they actually are gonna make a Halo 3 anniversary. The mcc was great to me. It was just the remastered Halo 3 that I found a bit disappointing, it needs a little bit of better graphics than its original. Don't deny it.
Point man I don't know where you get this idea that I'm denying it - in my original post, I give various reasons as to why that is the case, that's one step past acceptance, y'know.
Halo 5 is going to make a lot of money considering the vast amount of preorders they are getting (mine being one of them, since my birthday usually coincides with the release of a new Halo, so why not), and the servers have an astronomically low chance of failing at launch, so there's not going to be a fiasco like MCC. The gameplay is good (for once), and it will have already scared off the people who don't like the look of it from buying the game, so there's not a lot of chance of many people returning it. Considering that, Halo 5 will very likely at least meet predicted sales quotas and has a low chance of being a flop.
Though, 343 have said that they're drawing the line at Halo 2 (which is really a shame, because Halo 3 is my favourite Halo), and if they want to start developing it, they have to start by the beginning of 2016 at the latest, lest they run out of time (and I'm certain no one wants that to happen).
They shouldn't stop at Halo 2. But you're right and time constraints is the issue. However, they don't need to focus on making a Halo 3 anniversary, if time is truly the case; they can at least remaster Halo 3 again, more later rather than 2017.
Point man Besides, while Halo 3's graphics are undoubtedly the most dated in the collection, I doubt remastering them in 2017 would update them THAT much. It'd look nicer, sure, but remastering them in, say, 2020 maybe would be a better course of action in my opinion. There are more positives to doing it later rather than sooner, at any rate.
In my opinion, they should remaster the entire original trilogy as a tribute to its success.
the only difference is the resolution which is either scaled up from below 720p or 720p up to 900p or 1080p
1 and 3 should have been remastered like 2. Just saying.
I really hope you guys know, the only remastered games in Halo MCC are Halo CE and Halo 2, 3 & 4 were ported the exact same
Nice :)
WTF
At 3:31 the soldier is like trying to kick the alien, LMAO :)))
The new graphics are just brighter
@@PKNproductions I never knew of that trick. That is rather cleaver.
2:21 is probably the best example why people prefer the original version and if you can't understand why please do not ever work in post-processing for any industry.
Original actually looks better
+Ron Swanson lol
+Ron Swanson lol
does the remaster have higher fps?
if it does then this comparison is pretty bad not including it
Diese Unterschiede ich glaub es nicht XD
Halo 3 wurde ja auch gar nicht veränndert. Es läuft jetzt halt nur in 1080p und 60fps (Genauso Halo 1 und 4).
Einzig Halo 2 hat eine komplette Generalüberholung bekommen.
Mojo Bojo Meine Befürchtung ist ja wenn irgendwann Halo 3 auch noch in einer überarbeiteten Version raus kommt dann macht diese ganze Master Chief Collection kaum noch sinn wenn es noch mal einzeln kommt (aber auch nur wenn)
Reaper Drache Sinn macht diese Collection auf jeden Fall da sie ja (fast) die komplette Halo-Reihe auf die Xbox One bringt. Wie sie das dann in ein paar Jahren (2017 wenn ich mich nicht irre) mit einer möglichen überarbeiteten Version von Halo 3 lösen weiß ich allerdings auch nicht...vielleicht als 20€ DLC für die Master Chief Collection?
Schade, in game fällt das HD update deutlich geringer ins Gewicht als bei den Intros, aber ich denke fans werden auf ihre Kosten kommen. Bei 1:23 hat der Typ nen Haarschnitt bekommen...
2:22 original wins
NO TI TODESENT LOOK AT EVEYRTHIGN ELES KGFDSIJFSJADSIFJADASR32432FFREGFHJG
Literally how? They look exactly the same, what is sub 720p better than 1080p cause nostalgia?
Halo 3
,the one and only, it still makes me cry everytime I put the disc in
BottleCap Guy Wtf
Original looks better but Remaster has a higher resolution.
and framerate
Who the fuck cares about the graphics, does the MCC even fully work, or does it still act like crap?
AnIconForYou They done great on the campaigns, it's the multiplayer they fucked up
Typhoonproductions Dammit! We'll, at this point, i would just play all the original games separately, cuz at least i get a working multiplayer. Fuck it, i'm getting a new 360...
AnIconForYou Dude, I was talking about the visuals, not the multiplayer ;)
Halo 3 needs a full remaster by itself
Why didn't they do What they did with halo 2
+Cynical Movement not halo 3 anniversary yet.
That's a lot more work. The game was too ambitious as it was (which us evident by its release state)
I couldn't agree more. what they did with halo 2 was amazing, this was basically just a waste of time because you can't tell the difference
I don't see it as a waste of time, cause it probably didn't take much work at all. Plus if you are a fan of higher resolutions, anti-aliasing, antistropic filtering (texture filtering), and 60fps it'll be quite noticeable on the feel of the game
I only notice the slightest of changes in the graphics, they look pretty much the same. 343 just cleaned up some small stuff
original is better end of story
That's where you're wrong.
+MajinHaku have you ever played halo 3 vanilla?
Yes, I have.
literally how
Hahahahahahahaha
the main key difference's remastered as its called was rendered at 1080 - 1920 60fps the original 1152 - 640 at 30fps so lighting would been seen and work more dynamically it was just the limits of the hardware in the day the one just showed off how it should have looked if rendered in true 1080 back in its day so the only change is resolution and fps the remastered just shows the original beauty for what it truly was meant to be shown at if hardware wasn't an issue back then.
The MCC version had improved anti-aliasing, but that hardly justifies the existence of this vid.
Should I Buy the MCC or by the original disks backwards compatibility
It's the same just some improvements on the resolution, the original was sub HD 1152x640, the "Remastered" is just 1920x1080p native, no other difference.
umm lets wait until 2017 so that the fully remastered version is released
Did it come out yet?
how about now?
I really wish they remastered halo 3 like they did with halo 2, halo 2 looks soo good now.
Si ya pasé los halo en legendario por separado y tengo el logro. Tengo que volver pasarlos en legendario en master chief colection para el logro ?
Remastered is only improve HD Texture and does not improve the environment?
That's really a little mistake
I would hardly class this as a remaster so much as a touch up its like the difference between a 780p and a 1080p video there's a enough to notice a little but if you never told anyone about it I don't think many people would have noticed
Literally no change but the brightness..
Looks a lot cleaner and crisper. The contrast and colors could be improved simply by adjusting your monitor
I don’t know why they titled the video “remastered”, it’s literally the same game rereleased in a collection on newer consoles. The real Halo 3 anniversary sadly never came out.
Halo 2 Anniversary was made from scratch for the MCC, and Halo CE Anniversary was given minor enhancements.
I just realised Sgt Johnson is smoking a fat one, "then they must love the smell of green" haha fuck man 10 years later.
Just got the Master Chief Collection
Was surprised Halo 3 didn't get much of a remaster. Especially after the insane buff Halo 2 got
Does anybody knows the name of the song at 0:47 I like it!
It's just generic copyright-free music from the RUclips library, I think... :/
basically like upgrading your pc and going from medium visuals to high visuals in settings. cool
Was mir aufgefallen ist bei Halo 3, kann es sein das 343 Guilty Spark durch eine neue Version ausgetauscht wurde? Ich hab ihn in Halo 3 jedenfalls nicht so "shiny" und rund in erinnerung.
It's slightly brighter? It really looks like they didn't have to enhance very much at all. Original still looks good after nearly 13 years
Man merkt das besonders bei Retrografik wo es viele große Flächen und weniger Polygone gibt Kantenglättung und Auflösung sehr ins Gewicht fallen.
The only difference is the resolution and a little bit of the lighting but that's it.
The original Halo 3 had so much better saturation. But many will only notice the resolution in MCC has been upscaled, which may appeals more than the saturation level.
lets be real. we all remember how 'remastered' looks now as how it looked back in the day.
Okay, i will have to say while i can make out the slight improvements it is HARDER to spot the better graphics when everything is shown from either different angles or in one of the forms the figure is covered in shadow.
Wow, Halo 3 still having nice graphics.
Um
What’s the difference again?
Looks like they turned on lightbake for all objects. Anyone get the forge reference?
what happened to the shaders of Remastered...
I can feel more shaders in the original
