Halo 4: First Look ViDoc on Halo Waypoint by 343 Studios in full HD.
I couldn't find a decent high quality video of this anywhere on YouTube. Some people don't want to take the time out of their day to log into Waypoint, people like me. Fortunately, I took the time to log into Waypoint to record and upload this ViDoc by 343 Studios. Enjoy...



"If you ask me my opinion about this game, I think it's complete crap.

That's coming from a fan that practically grew up with this series, modded its and continues to mod add content to its games, and assisted in the development of Halo: Reach.
My main reason: There's a difference between graphically overhauling the game to impress fans, critics, marketing jackasses, everyone alike, etc. and just completely removing all familiarity with the game. I understand that they want a refresh with the series to display independence from Bungie's work and allow a breather for fans, but this just feels too... Alien. It's unrecognizable. The technology, the SFX, and the characters feel foreign. Currently it feels like it should be a whole different game and that they are just riding with the Halo name.

Halo 4's art style seems to be taking very much from games such as Mass Effect 2-3 and UT3. No idea is original but I hope they can instill some form of creative and artistic independence that defines Halo 4(+) as truly its own game and view and not just a game with a name.

The game is still in development so my criticism can't say much. Here's for the best hope that they can improve further upon what they have now and don't pull to a complete stop and make minor updates, much like Halo CE Anniversary, the $40 mod for Halo: Custom Edition (I still love those terminals, though)."
