PostPost subject: Halo Wars Demo Cutscenes in HD Reply with quote
Just like with the Halo 1 and Halo 2 HD cutscenes project, I've decided to record the cutscenes from the Halo Wars demo in HD as well. There are only a few available, you can only play the first 2 levels in the demo, but there are 7 cutscenes (8 if you include the "5 Long Years" one, but I'm not). They will be made available in HD and SD in both Windows Media and Quicktime formats. I don't have as nice a layout as HBO, but I'll do my best:

Halo Wars Intro:
Windows Media HD - Windows Media SD
Quicktime HD - Quicktime SD
Youtube HD - Youtube SD

Alpha Base Intro:
Windows Media HD - Windows Media SD
Quicktime HD - Quicktime SD
Youtube HD - Youtube SD

Alpha Recaptured:
Windows Media HD - Windows Media SD
Quicktime HD - Quicktime SD
Youtube HD - Youtube SD

Relic Revealed:
Windows Media HD - Windows Media SD
Quicktime HD - Quicktime SD
Youtube HD - Youtube SD

Observation Deck Lab:
Windows Media HD - Windows Media SD
Quicktime HD - Quicktime SD
Youtube HD - Youtube SD

Rebuild Alpha:
Windows Media HD - Windows Media SD
Quicktime HD - Quicktime SD
Youtube HD - Youtube SD

Relic Battle:
Windows Media HD - Windows Media SD
Quicktime HD - Quicktime SD
Youtube HD - Youtube SD

This is the first place I posted these, so you all have a head start. Shortly after posting this, I'll email Louis Wu over at HBO and ask him if he wants to do anything with them, and if he does then he'll be the third, I'll post them on HIH too.

I would have figured it out soon enough.

So get this, I put these on Youtube in HD, and minutes after the first one finishes uploading I get an email saying content in the video was disputed as copyright infringement by VIACOM! VIACOM, I ask you, I thought Ensemble was making this game. I prompty disputed the claim on the grounds that Microsoft has granted everyone the right to use assets from games where microsoft owns the IP (like Halo) for non-commercial, private use. I included a link to their game content usage rules and edited each video with a line from the content usage rules page saying this:

[The title of your Item] was created under Microsoft’s “Game Content Usage Rules” using assets from Halo Wars, © Microsoft Corporation.

And I put the name of each video in place of [the title of your item]. Hopefully that will scare away anyone trying to tell me I'm infringing copyrights. VIACOM for christ's sake! Jeez!

Anyways, watch the videos...drool at the HD quality, I'll edit the first post with Youtube links.

Very very hawt. But don't really want to spoil it by watching too many, so only saw the first. Looks like fun, must go dl. And the copyright thing is really weird b/c some of it makes sense and some of it just seems to be up for grabs.

Yeah, it seems like something is always some sort of copyrighted. It's easy to get lost in it all.

I didnt look at the vids because I didnt play the game, but I played it yesterday, it looked amazing! These videos are great.

Just on the last one, the relic, it lags, like the video is fine, it goes 22 23 24 but the video is frozen and and repeats, was that just your xbox?

Redownload it, I made a boo-boo and accidentally wrote over the HD versions with the SD versions while I was uploading the SD versions, so I had to reupload. You probably got the download for Relic Battle while it wasn't done uploading, so you only got part of the file. I downloaded it and it worked fine.

And for everyone, I spoke to Louis Wu from HBO and he frontpaged my forum post on the HBO forums about these, and I told him that I'd be doing the Halo Wars Cutscenes when the full game comes out.

You might not have enough RAM or a gfx card capable of playing HD.
