Cinéma

Cette page a été signalée comme incomplète par le projet Wikinfinity Jeux.

Le mode Cinéma (Theater en version originale) est une fonctionnalité disponible dans les jeux Halo depuis Halo 3. Chaque fois qu'un joueur joue une partie multijoueurs, Baptême du feu ou Forge, un enregistrement de la partie est automatiquement sauvegardé dans une liste qui peut contenir jusqu'à vingt-cinq films récents, que les joueurs peuvent regarder à loisir. Les joueurs peuvent sauvegarder jusqu'à cent films enregistrés dans Halo 3, et des milliers dans Halo : Reach.

Le mode Campagne est nativement compatible avec le Cinéma dans Halo 3, Halo 3 : ODST et Halo : Reach uniquement. Une mise à jour de Halo : The Master Chief Collection permet d'utiliser le cinéma dans la campagne de Halo 4 et le Spartan Ops.^[1]

Fonctionnalités[modifier]

Les options disponibles pendant le visionnage apparaissent ou disparaissent en appuyant sur X. Elles sont :

Lecture/Pause
Avance rapide
Retour rapide
Faire une capture d'écran
Enregistrer un clip
Couper le film

D'autres fonctionnalités sont disponibles :

Appuyer sur Y pendant le film, qu'il soit en Lecture ou en Pause, permet aux joueur de détacher la caméra du joueur et de passer en mode Caméra Libre. Dans ce mode, il est possible de la déplacer librement dans tout l'espace de jeu, tout en conservant les fonctionnalités de captures d'écran ou d'enregistrement de clips. Un nouvel appui sur la touche permet de revenir instantanément vers le joueur. Les touches relatives au contrôle de la caméra sont indiquées dans le menu Start.

Appuyer sur B pendant le film permet d'activer plusieurs éléments de l'écran indépendamment : La barre de progression du film et les informations du HUD. Un appui répété permet de désactiver un ou tout ces éléments à l'écran, selon si l'on souhaite montrer le HUD et la progression du film ou avoir une image vierge de ces éléments. Communément, c'est cette dernière option qui est adoptée pour les Captures d'écran "artistiques" et les machinimas.

Les clips sont des morceaux de vidéo qui peuvent être enregistrés depuis n'importe quel point de vue de caméra (qu'elle soit en première personne, en vue à l'épaule ou en Caméra Libre). Une fois enregistré, le clip peut être partagé via le partage de fichiers.

Ce mode était prévu pour Halo 2.^[2]
Les films enregistrés ne sont que des collections d'informations sur les jeux, lisibles uniquement par la Xbox 360, ils ne peuvent donc pas être enregistrés sur un PC sans utiliser le "Bungie Pro", ou une carte de capture vidéo.
Les films populaires ou très bien cotés seront affichés dans la liste des Favoris de Bungie.
En campagne, les films reposent sur de lourds enregistrement de l'état des niveaux à chaque instant. Avant Halo : Reach, aucune fonction de retour en arrière n'était possible sur ce mode à cause de conflits liés à la fonction de multiples points de réapparition (si un joueur meurt trois fois rapidement après sa réapparition, il est ramené à un point de sauvegarde antérieur).^[3]

↑ Twitter - Luke Timmins (Abe_Froman_SK), « I fired up Halo: Reach on MCC for a stroll down memory lane. First thing first - looks and plays awesome. Great job to everyone who worked on it! So I played some of the campaign then messed around with one of my favorite features - saved films. So I got to work on saved films for Halo 3 and Reach. One feature missing from Halo 3 is the ability to rewind campaign films. We got it working for Reach. Here is a not very exciting video of the feature in action. So you may be asking, “why would that feature work for multiplayer, but not campaign films in Halo 3?” Halo does this thing in campaign (has since Halo 1) where we try to find a “safe” time to store a checkpoint for the player, so if they die we can reload the checkpoint. It’s a complex system tho, so maybe you are about to drive the hog off a cliff and we grab a checkpoint. You die, we load the checkpoint, you die again. Groundhog Day. It’s a soft lock, player is screwed. To prevent this, we store multiple checkpoints, and if the player repeatedly dies after loading one we fallback to a previous checkpoint. Nice and simple. But wait! Each checkpoint is close to ten megs (uncompressed). Can’t store them all in memory. Hmm. So we store them on disk, and do a bunch of work to ensure writing them out doesn’t hitch the game too much. So what you ask? Well the act of rewinding in a save film is basically doing a similar operation. We are persisting the game state to disk every N seconds, and when you rewind we are loading it back up, re-seeing back in the saved film, and uttering a prayer to the gods of determinism that it plays back. So the catch is what happens in a Groundhog Day saved film rewind. You would be watching a film of you driving over the cliff, and the game would restore the old checkpoint 3 times, then finally revert back to an old checkpoint. But you play the saved film a few more minutes (stomping the checkpoints on disk), then rewind to the 3rd death. We attempt to load the non-existent checkpoint, your game goes out of sync, and the film ends. Boo. That’s why we cut it from Halo 3. But we had time to fix it for Reach. So we had to add a system to track the three backup game state checkpoints for each rewind point in the campaign saved film. Which means that rewinding is not only reverting back to 1 gamestate, but 4. And we allowed a good number of rewind points. And yes, you want to minimize the number of in-flight copies of these files, so we are doing some reference counting to make sure it isn’t dumb. So to repro the crazy case: 1. Launch campaign 2. Play until you see a checkpoint message. 3. Kill yourself as fast as possible (plasma grenade on ground) 4. Repeat 3 ish times? 5. It should reload you to an old checkpoint. Play a bit more. 6. Play saved film 7. Play film past your multi-suicide revert to another checkpoint. 8. Rewind to multi-suicide. 9. No out of sync! Success! But wait, how does it work for versions of the 360 that had no hard drive? That’s a story for a different day. Reach was fun to work on. Thanks again to 343 for the port so people can enjoy it in 2019! The End. » (05/12/2019)
