Anger rage flaming mode!

In Response To: Re: Halo 1 Single Segment Speedrun in 1:19:37 (Mator) : PC graphics aren't horribly mangled! :( The image on the left is Halo 1 running on an original Xbox. The image on the left is a colour-rebalanced (hey, CEA's classic mode has an icky blue tinge to it, I wanted to be fair, and I don't actually own HPC, so...) screenshot of CEA's classic mode, demonstrating a typical dynsfunctional skybox resulting from its being a port of Halo PC. The thing on the left is awe-inspiring in-game, the thing on the right feels like something has gone horribly wrong. And the difference only gets bigger when you decide to take a banshee and explore that gorgeous fog (an urge you don't really get in the first place with the HPC visuals). When Halo PC has functional animated fog, the correct model and texture assets, proper fog fade with distance, reasonable rendering of transparent objects, proper display of hanging vines and stuff in 343GS, and proper colour balancing in skybox textures, you might start to convince me that the visuals aren't really all that horribly mangled. : Also, the HUD thing, not always the case on PC. Maybe not strictly "always," since obviously you can change the HUD due to PC's versatility, but it's typical and standard. In any case, most HPC players wouldn't actually like to have a large HUD designed for SD gameplay sticking way out into their high-resolution monitors. : 360 emulator? Original Xbox games can't run natively on the 360's hardware; they use case-by-case software emulators. Which is why Halo 1 on 360 differs a bit from Halo 1 on oXbox, even though you're using the same disc and everything.
