Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
This was excellent. On the Osiris video now. Very good insight into development environments.
Yes I know because you said the same thing in every e3 thread. Image quality will be improved and optimized but perhaps this just isn't for you?
You must be exhausted
Your poor fingers!

Not that I recall. They've done this for Halo for a very long time and they're always a joy to watch. I hope they continue doing this for Halo 5 beyond the E3 demo and Warzone.
Halo: CE Developer Commentary (Jason Jones, Joseph Staten, Martin O'Donnell)
Halo: 2 Developer Commentary (Jason Jones, Joseph Staten, Martin O'Donnell)
Making of Halo 2 - Behind The Scenes (Bungie)
Remaking the Legend - Halo 2: Anniversary (343)
Man those first two commentaries were worth the bonus disc for Halo 3 alone.
Really enjoyed the Halo Reach one as well. Would've dug the director skull for ODST if they had the time to put it in there, I'm sure.
Easily some of the most informative and good ViDoc series in a long time for gaming. Love watching them. 343 really out-Bungie's Bungie with how they've embraced ViDoc's. Remaking the Legend for Halo 2 Anniversary was amazing as well. I hope these continue.
Really great way to show off how much work goes into the minutia of games development and how we don't even acknowledge how long it may have taken someone to do that cinematic we're just dying to press A and forward through etc.
I watched the whole second series for Warzone and E3 demo yesterday too, was somewhat appreciative of the work they do. Don't know, maybe just me.

Someone had to say it....
He's not even good at complaining.

Very cool stuff.
I'm curious about the new thruster tech, in-universe. It makes them so much more agile, I wonder if there's some kind of counter-grav involved? Like with the Mako in ME. I mean, even if she was able to hop like that, she still weighs most of a ton. Springing off the Elite is pretty nuts.
Or it could just be the thrust from the, well, thrusters, doing more traditional counter-gravity work, lol.
He was indeed.

I would say it's the thrusters giving her a little boost to the weight of her moves.

I'm going to reserve most of the comments until I actually get to sit down and play it, but from what I've seen so far I think it looks great.
It's awesome to see this behind the scenes video too, looking at how the engine looks through development, and the random bugs (Like getting a vehicle throwing you out of the map).

He was in the first 'season' of the Sprints during the focus on arena multiplayer lead up to beta, remember when they had the 'Directors' meeting/gameplay. Frank, Bonnie, Josh, Tim and the other senior staff probably only come in on certain days or for the 'big stuff'.

God I love these from MS/Halo teams. Wish MS did more of these for their other games. Give us one for Gears this time too! And Forza!
Also, why the fuck are people talking about graphics here. Whether you love or hate or are indifferent to Halo/MS/Xbox, the videos are great insight on anyone remotely interested in game development, E3 and gaming.

What bothers me the most is that the helmet is a fixed part of the HUD. I really dont get it why anyone would want even more FOV to get taken away by making it visible that you are wearing a helmet. It doesnt create immersion, its just annoying. Maybe 343 will build in a toggle option?

Only haflway through the first one.
Very interesting but I swear it makes it seems like stinkles stalks GAF rather than doing work

You guys planning on releasing anything going into a bit more detail involving the engine technology the game is using at some point? Pretty please? I'm sure I'm not the only one that is interested in hearing more about the new bells and whistles that the increased horsepower allows.
Man, yeah.
Halo has always set the bar for cool behind the scenes stuff. I haven't watched some of these in years. I think I'll go through them again. Thanks for posting them all. I'm in Halo mode again. Been playing through the old games in anticipation of Halo 5 like I do every time there is a new one.. Just really wish Reach was there.
I wonder if that means you can tell your computer controlled AI teammates to revive you.
I loved that in Star Wars: Republic Commando.

I love these Bts docs, I think it's great for the team and for fans alike. These docs build a more educated and empathetic audience for game developers to interact with. I really wished other devs would do the same.
