awesome music!

[ClanInfectionist]

Me too. I love all the music.

I'm setting up to release the full game's cutscenes, it'll be a few days but if you want them just subscribe!

[zabuza112211]

man that song is soooo cool!

[JacobSheppard]

I love the cutscenes in the demo. They all look great.

But I thought I'd throw in here, that this isn't the full intro. The first part of it is the "Five Years" video that they released as a trailer.

[ClanInfectionist]

I didn't record that because it was a trailer, it's been out for ages.

[JacobSheppard]

Well this part was released as a trailer as well. Some time in October or November, if my memory serves me right.

[ClanInfectionist]

I don't think the whole thing was, maybe part of it.

[JacobSheppard]

Nope, it was the whole thing. Aside from the "halo wars" logo at the start.

And after this clip was the part where the guy is in the snow, and sees them open the door to the relic. Ended after that.

I'm pretty sure that it's still up on xbox live.

[ClanInfectionist]

I'm positive they didn't show the first cutscene with Anders and Serena, I would remember that. But even if they did, I just didn't want to record the "5 Long Years" trailer that had already been out.

jacob is right but im glad u recored it

How did you even upload this? I have Viacom hanging onto my back preventing me for uploading this intro. I thought Microsoft owned all Copyright of the Halo IP.

[ClanInfectionist]

Because of this:

Halo Wars Demo Cutscene: Halo Wars Intro was created under Microsofts Game Content Usage Rules using assets from Halo Wars, © Microsoft Corporation.

Microsoft allows the use of assets from their games (screenshots, videos, etc), as long as that is included with the asset and the game wasn't reverse engineered to get the content. I recorded these with a cap card and when Viacom complained, I countered the dispute with that text. Viacom doesn't own Halo!

the cutscenes are that best by far and the gameplay cutscenes still look really good.

[ClanInfectionist]

Download the full resolution version of Alhpa Base Recaptured or Rebuild Alpha at my site. Notice the Macroblocking (that's what those square/pixelly looking distortions are.) That's not my capture card, it's the cutscenes. That's a tell-tale sign of them being prerendered. The others might be, but if they are they did a much better job on them. I know this because I render a lot of movies and I've looked at prerendered cutscenes for a game as opposed to actual game engine cutscenes.

[gamekiller19to21]

i got a question what type of stuff and programs do you use to record in HD?please reply and good vid and good game.

[ClanInfectionist]

You could easily find that out by looking through my videos. Watch my Hauppauge HD PVR Test and you'll find out.

[jediforce64]

i want want one where did u get it

[ClanInfectionist]

Newegg.

[jediforce64]

where is that ? is it a site?

[ClanInfectionist]

Google it.

[jediforce64]

thank you

[taboozack]

really good grafics

[ClanInfectionist]

Even these cutscenes in HD don't do it justice, the graphics are incredible. One thing I noticed is that they really like shiny surfaces, almost everything has some sort of reflectivity, which speaks volumes for the amount of work Ensemble put in optimizing it, realtime reflections take quite a bit of processing power. Make sure you watch and rate the other 6 cutscenes and subscribe for the full game's cutscenes when the game is released, I'll be on that.

[vectoor91]

Ehm, these cutscenes are pre rendered. They do look really good, but ingame graphic is nowhere near this...

[ClanInfectionist]

Not all of them are prerendered. Some of them are but most aren't as far as I know. I'm pretty sure only alpha base recaptured and rebuild alpha is prerendered.

[ortixx]

all the cutscenes which look good are pre-rendered. Period.

[ClanInfectionist]

To the contrary I think that the ones that look BAD are prerendered. You can tell because they are more pixelated then the rest, a result of the compression. Like I said, Alpha Base Recaptured an Rebuild Alpha are prerendered, that much is obvious.

[ortixx]

I don't know the names but for a fact i know that the pre-rendered ones are the ones where either one of the main characters is interacting with another. This is only in the demo. This one for example is pre-rendered. The cutscenes which actually show anything that looks like gameplay style stuff is not pre-rendered. That's just in-game. Basically the stuff that it is being viewed from Bird's eye view is in-game. But heck, this game's gonna rock!
