How Halo 4 Would Look in CryEngine 3....WOW!

A DICE artist currently working on Battlefield 3 has thrown together a mockup of the interior of a Halo ship using CryEngine 3.

There's a snowball's chance in hell that the Halo franchise will ever find a home on the much more powerful engine, but this mockup gives us a good idea of what it could look like. Should the next Halo game appear on the next-generation Xbox, this is probably how it'd look.

Needless to say, Halo 4 is going to be one gorgeous looking game as it is?in spite of its lack of hyperrealistic graphics. The art direction alone sells it for me, and there's no reason to think 343 Industries won't do the same with the forthcoming sequels regardless of the technological capabilities of next-gen hardware. If anything, we'll see a marriage of realistic graphics with the art direction that the Halo series has long been known for.

Doesnt look like Halo

And Crytek should be more concerned about getting Crysis 3 looking that good because it's not even close to that bullshot.

phonemug

You're right, it looks better.

Yes becuase dice has times to make this crap, but can't patch there games for 6 months

So herms can use bullshots but consolites can't?

unlike Consoles, PCs can actually obtain the Graphics shown in Bullshots.

While I feel like he artstlye isn't complely Halo-esque, that would be amazing!

Looks good

I'm still glad 343 is working on Halo 4 and not Crytek or DICE (at least as of right now)

No thanks, that looks nothing like Halo and is extremely boring

The only question that remains is whether or not 343 will be able continue with the ridiculously high quality that Bungie treated us to for the last decade.

Why not ? They have Halo 1-2-3-Reach as base, they can only go forward from there

I wonder how Halo 5 graphics will look like with 8 years ahead hardware on xbox 720

Halo 4 rivals anything today and looks like a next gen game

Fvck Halo 5, no reason to think about the sequel to a game that hasn't been released yet.

Wondering whether or not a company that has released zero games can follow up one of the most celebrated franchises from one of the most consistent developers in the industry is a very appropriate question.

And on the subject of following the previous Halos, I feel that Bungie tried to emulate the previous incarnations too much. That is one reason why I enjoyed Reach and ODST so much. It was Bungie being creative inside Halo while keeping true to Halo.
That is what 343 needs to do in my opinion, do their own thing based on what they think will be best while keeping true to what Halo is.

lol nope. not at all :lol:

it's like those "use the force harry - Gandalf" showing patrick stewart :P

also it looks like Doom 3 with mods

I think Halo 1 looks better than that.

Looks a little like the high-def Doom 3 mod.

It reminds me of the "sikkmod". Not saying it has the same textures or whatever, just the same kind of shiny metal look

Wow it looks very clean.

Looks really good, like REALLY good but Im perfectly fine with how H4 looks already.

Question: Why is a Dice employee using CryEngine 3 instead of Frostbite 2? Do they even have access to CryEngine 3? Why would they not create this with their own engine? I'm calling shenanigans on this story.

It doesn't impress me, you know why? Because it's a metal room. Why can't they do one outside with trees or something? Show more detail than just a dark metal room. That does look good though, no doubt about it.

It's a shame Halo has always looked so mediocre. Great graphics are always a plus.

I'm sure their artists spend a whole lot of time patching games.

Because he did it in his spare time he just happens to work at DICE, it's not different to some guy who works at Walmart making a drawing using some pencils from Staples.

I can't wait for the next gen consoles. The limitations of this gen's are so apparent when compairing them to what PCs can do.

Frostbite 2 is an internal thing. It's not an open engine like CryEngine 3 is. He can't just make content in the Frostbite 2 engine and show it to the world without having to get an approval from his superiors. It's to much of a hassle.

The CryEngine 3 is insanely easy to use when it comes to developing on too. The level editor in the CryEngine 3 allows an experianced dev to whip together content in a fraction of the time.

this is official concept art

Why is a DICE employee working with Cryengine? :?

EDIT: saw wasdie's post....

Anyway; it sure looks pretty, but i dont think its any reflection on what Halo 4 'could' look like, because no way in hell would that ever run on the 360.
