In Response To: So, ODST is a pretty cool game. *IMG* *VID* (uberfoop) : I played some ODST on normal. I capped some stuff. This is a totally random : gush post. You don't like it, jump your butts back into orbit! : Images link to bigger images. : //============================ : The whether change to "more dusty" on Uplift after the Tether falls : is pretty neat. Really makes this grove look interesting. : : I appreciated a marine mocking my driving. : : //============================ : Cup anemometer and windsock, both of which actually adjust behaviour over : time. Pretty cool. The NMPD has your weather information needs covered, : : I like how NMPD HQ and Kikowani give you new views of the cluster of large : buildings. : : I also like how NMPD transitions to the other side of the main building (what : company has the red triangle, anyway?) : : When I was almost to the crane bridge, I spent too long staring at the : skylight view in the building. Buck made it outside well before I did, and : when I came out I saw him sneaking up on the last jackal. Clearly, Buck is : some sort of amazing stealth ninja. However, analyzing the replay showed : that Buck is in fact an amazing stealth wizard. : : //============================ : Contunuing on with fresh angles on the skyscrapers, Kikowani is pretty cool. : : Halo 3 lighting model is best lighting model. I always loved how this chamber : looks in ODST. Halo 3 also, but moreso with Kikowani darkness around it. : : Destroying a scarab... from the point of view of the scarab. : : //============================ : ODST isn't really known for its snow and ice environments. But it's not bad : in this department. : : It's awesome how far-reaching the pulsating glow of the ONI building is. Data : Hive's shaft is shown here, and it's pretty amazing how the glow bounces : off the walls and windows of the structures around the lake as seen from : the nighttime streets as well. : : //============================ : I love how powerful the sense of morning is on Mombasa Streets. Bungie tried : to pull off The Maw beyond just the fact that there's a warthog section. : The sound design as you step back outside nails it, as does the fact that : light is coming from pretty much the opposite direction than what you've : seen the whole game. : : It's wonderful how you travel through one last thorough look at what you had : done the day and night before as you drive around the rim of the city : center. : : Tank... beats assault carrier? Hopefully? I'm sure I'm not the only person : who takes shots at that thing. : : I'm also sure I'm not the only person who considers this a terrific[ly : stylish] defensive location. : : It works, so it's not weird. : : Strange hunter is strange. : : //============================ : Bonus Lost Platoon section! Gotta absorb that ambience. : : Grunt has a bad day. : : Drones can be kind of dumb sometimes. : : //============================ : I have to say, saving screenshots makes me a little sad. : : HYPE. : : //============================ : And, as Lionheart noted in the thread beneath this post, thanks to : HaLo2FrEeEk for the method for getting the stuff from the thing. Otherwise : I wouldn't have been able to grab even remotely visually acceptable : screenshots. Love Halo 3.
