Leaked Halo 3 screenshot? |

"A picture that some claim is a leaked Halo 3 screenshot is doing the rounds of the games forums, increasing anticipation for Microsoft’s next-generation title in the hugely successful Halo series.
Xbox World 360 magazineThe November issue of the re-launched “Xbox World 360″ magazine, due out on September 29, features a cover shot of the Master Chief with the caption, “Halo 3: PS3 is dead.?Gamers are wondering whether this issue may contain longed-for details of the upcoming Halo 3 game for Xbox 360.
With the Halo movie set to hit cinemas in 2007, some believe that Microsoft may release Halo 3 at the same time as a tie-in game to the movie. However, this theory seems to contradict comments made by Bill Gates himself. A Time magazine article published earlier this year quotes Gates as saying, “It’s perfect. The day Sony launches, and they walk right into Halo 3.?br />
In light of Gates?comments, it looks likely that Halo 3 will be released in Spring 2006 in an attempt to divert attention from the launch of Sony’s next-generation PS3 console. It’s also possible that Halo 4 will be ready for release as the tie-in game for the Halo movie in 2007."

Sindai Sep 30th 2005, 12:31pm I'd say that looks plausible on 7800-class hardware.
Shang Sep 30th 2005, 12:33pm If that is a leaked screenshot, it doesn't look very impressive. I've seen much better on games like F.E.A.R and Quake 4.
doan_m Sep 30th 2005, 12:37pm No, no. Graphic wise this game look better then F.E.A.R. or Quake 4. But then again this screenshot is not feasible enough for us to assume the power of the graphics of the game.

Looks as good as any current or future engine demo I've seen, with the possible exception of Unreal 3.

Small size, but just from the sort-of feel it has I'd put in on par with or a little better than the Doom 3 engine.
Alyeska Sep 30th 2005, 1:55pm Most probably concept art rendered 3d. Notice the complete lack of any character information on screen, HUD, etc.
Groovymonkey! Sep 30th 2005, 3:41pm Most probably concept art rendered 3d. Notice the complete lack of any character information on screen, HUD, etc.
You could argue that since it is a different shape then the top parts have been cut off and contain the HUD...
But I can't explai na lack of cross-hair. :p
There are parts of HALO2 where you don't have a HUD...

I've seen HUDless screenshots before, some companies take it out for promo shots.
Sindai Sep 30th 2005, 5:05pm So long as your code is halfway decent making the HUD invisible should be trivially easy, possibly even without a recompile.
Esoterica Sep 30th 2005, 6:09pm I would say that isn't a screenshot, since the gun isn't aimed foreward, but off to the side. Could be a part of a cinematic with a first-person view though.
Auregnas Sep 30th 2005, 6:51pm Or, the gun could be in the middle of a reload action, they swerve off to the side a fair bit whilst reloading. Or it could be an extremely twitchy sideways pivot, nearly all games make the gun move to the side when turning, or up/down in that respect. Hell, in the Metroid Prime games you could see the entire helmet moving and realigning. It could just be a hyped-up version of this, but I doubt the latter.
Major Diarrhia Sep 30th 2005, 7:44pm It looks like a screen taken from Doom with a Halo 2 gun slapped on.:p

looks like a mix of concept art and ingame...
Golar Oct 1st 2005, 4:18am Well, this IS a fake, and of that I'm 100% certain. The background is a piece of concept art. That background is FAR beyond anything we can produce in-game now, if only for the painted lighting and such. Granted, though, it's good enough to look almost 3D. And the gun has been photoshopped on, from a render from Halo 2:

Honestly, I'm actually really surprised most of you fell for it. For one, the gun is at a stupid angle, the screenshot is incomplete, and there are obvious differences between the quality and render of the gun and of the background.
Rumour quashed, hopefully...

This looks the parts of Halo1/2 that have a new "chapter title" like "Reveille", "AI Constructs and Cyborgs First!", "Reunion Tour", etc. The HUD totally disappears.

Yes, but it is unfortunately a fake...
The background is a painting by Craig Mullins, if I'm not mistaken. See above ^
Brido Oct 5th 2005, 4:29am C'mon folks, look at the background and look at the gun.
Doesn't match up in the slightest, obviously a load of shite.
There is some top drawer arrogance in that article.
