Subject: Anybody else want a Machinima Mode?

They just need to take the entire Machinama mode from Uncharted 2 and I will be happy, Loving Uncharted 2

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

You need a poll for this, and i love the idea!

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

I was going to make one, but I messed up and forgot to add it, and now I'm kinda screwed.

Most of your posts were pretty constructive, why the sudden shift? Update 3 coming soon by the way.

Come on more ideas. Is that all you guys have? Did I hit everything? I doubt it. More ideas dammit!

A while ago, I had an idea for something called Studio Mode, where you could play as ANYTHING from Campaign. It didn't have any of the stuff you mentioned in your post, but it was intended to be a machinima-making mode.

To sum it up quickly, all players would be able to edit their custom options and appearances independently from one another, and at any time. That way, you could have a purple Drone with overshields and a sword, an invisible, unarmed Elite, and a regular Infection Form driving a Mongoose, all at the same time.
I love this idea!

To tell the truth. I liked it when we had to do the skull glitch in Halo 2. The way you moved was more organic and flexible. But theatre mode makes me mad. When you stop the camera bounces a bit. The way it moves isnt good.

I'm gonna have to add that to the post at some point. We need better camera controls. The camera in Theater is pretty finicky and should have the option of switching between cameras that you've set at predetermined points or something like that.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

Did you actually make this or was it just an idea? If you did make it then props to you, if you didn't it seems like a great idea.

Actually that would be pretty cool. You could take a picture with your vision cam and then the game would make the character's face look like you. An even better thing about this idea is that it would further reinforce the whole "you are the chief" aspect Bungie has been pushing on us.

Cool until Rainbow six style -blam!- faces and cartoon characters come into it, actually that's hilarious DO IT!

Honor and glory has no power and worldly fame is a meadow flower.

What do you think about Custom Screen Filter option? In Halo 3 on the DLC maps we have screen filters, but they are very limited: b/w, sepia, gloomy, etc. I though about the same thing, but with the ability to change its settings in the same way you set the spawn time for weapons. There you could change the RGB value, exposure, bloom, saturation, etc. You could also add advanced filters - for example that seen in Halo 3 ODST - outline, noise filter, or the TV interference (seen in ODST when you get hit). Also changing camera options feature would be nice - DOF, zoom etc.

Another thing that was missing in Halo 3 theater was the timeline. Simple timeline for editing camera positions during the clip would be appreciated. Before Halo 3 was released i thought that i will for example finish the campaign level and then edit the camera positions during the entire playthrough to make a stunning movie.

Speaking of cameras - in Forge there should be a Camera object (same as spawn point but only with no physics enabled). You could set a bunch of these and then change between them just like switching between players using up and down. There should be also option to attach camera to an object - for example thrown grenade or flying rocket. In Halo 3 tracking flying plasma grenade could be very troublesome.

That's all Folks, what do you think about my ideas?

PS. Sorry for eventual grammar/spelling mistakes.

If I could write off your murder I'd save all of my receipts. Because I'd rather you be dead than lose a tiny shred of what I made this fiscal year.

that would be a great idea but only if bungie made it so that in theatre mode the spawn points for these cameras as well as the cameras themselves are invisible so that you can seamlessly transition between them without showing the other cameras

A good addition would be to be able to plot paths and actions via a user friendly interface. For instance, say you wanted a character to walk up to another character and punch him. To plot the path, you would simply draw a line from the character's starting position to the other character. You would then select "punch" from a menu and add it to the end of the action, and click the part of the other character you want to punch. After that, you would select the other character and select "react to punch from <insert name of character here> thereby finishing the animation. After that, you would be able to watch the scene play, edit it, add sound effects, etc. Also, If you don't have an action you want, you could make your own using a frame by frame ragdoll of a character that would allow you to freeze frames of the character's posture, and link them together. This system would apply to every aspect of the game, not just people or movement. Also, being able to directly upload your completed machinima to Bungie.net would be very useful. Check and mate.

I guess some of the difficulty in making machinima is one of its draws but it could always help.

Amen

we REALLY need this. it would be really fun to have a machinima with elites, brutes, spartans, marines and flood. it would add so much more to Halo: Reach, and it would increase replayability twicefold.

If the game is as pretty as it's touted, having a machinima mode would pretty much null the need of a Halo Movie. You could make your own! You could make it as awesome, crappy, sad, happy, whatever other emotions you want to convey as you want.

Update is live now. It's kinda small but I just took a whole bunch of your ideas. Don't worry, I gave you credit.

  • 10.08.2009 8:38 PM PDT

Say they are editing the theater, i think a good idea would be to have weather effects and times of day to make more dramatic machinima like raining at night or sunlight through clouds, maybe little check boxes

Rain []
Day []
Night []
Clouds []
Fog []
and other stuff like that, sorry if somebody already said this, i didn't understand one or two of the ideas hehe.
