[WIP] Halo Portable - Quake TC Mod For The PSP

[BelmontSlayer]

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/BelmontSlayer/Halo_Portable.jpg

A brand new total conversion mod for Quake is currently being created specifically for the PSP by a dedicated team of coders. The graphics are quite impressive and they are making some major modifications to the game engine's code to make it more "halo-like". Some of the features to be included are dual-wielding and high-res models.

The project is currently in a closed beta, but the screens and videos I've seen so far look excellent. Be sure to keep an eye on DCEmu, we'll be sure to let you guys know when a public beta gets released.

This looks absolutely amazing. It looks almost like the real thing except quake style. =D

Can't wait for a demo to come out.

[mcdougall57]

Looks cool. The original halo pistol was the best.

[wolfpack]

Hmm, I already knew about this but decided not to post about it. Its been on Moddb for the past week...heheh...:p

[Akoi Meexx]

Definitely want this for my PSP

[wraggster]

yeah looks great :)

[Buddy4point0]

Looks sick.
I can't wait to see how this turns out.

(haha, remember when microsoft was so scared of people using halo PSDemon got shut down just for trying to do a halo iris mod.)

[carlitx]

OMG! I can't wait! <Time to go all halo fan boy on it> *starts to drool* xD

[bosanova_x]

looking very nice indeed !!!

I don't know where you get your information, but tip of your finger seems like a fine guess.

I'm one of the developers of Halo: Portable for the PSP and there is no dual wielding currently planned.
And you can talk about high-res models on the PC or PS3/Xbox360, we're just struggling to get the most out of the console. I'd call that low-res, actually.

We also didn't post any videos yet.

And most certainly we are NOT a 'dedicated team of coders'. We do have coders, but the project was started by non-coders and there are many people doing many things.

Next time when you post a news, please choose a more valid source XD

hey , finally somebody knows about my team's project :thumbup: .
Let me introduce myself :P i am the leader of the project ,we will be having weekly updates about the game

btw our website is www.haloportable.tk

if you have any questions i will answer to the best of my ability

and dandi is in a mood again :P

[dandi8]

I'm not in a mood -_-

I just hate it when people say things that aren't true, and this topic is filled with lies IMO. Soon ppl will start sending us questions like "Where is dual wielding? You said there will be dual wielding! You are liars!" and we will have to answer...

Still, there is a good side. I finally made an account here :P

[mrgreezy3]

Halo Portable Rules!!!!

Team "flaming Ice" In The Building!!!!!

[dandi8]

I think you mean 'in the making', mrGreezy ;)

[osgeld]

wow its quake with new maps, and it has to attach the halo name to it to get the fanboys to cream their pants

its good work, and its kinda fun ... but it should not have to be a gimmick like slapping "halo" on the title ... it really could stand on its own, as a independent idea, if theres anything original in there

[Broadus]

How do you know if it's fun, osgeld? I thought it wasn't released yet. Also, why you gotta hate? They're having some fun with PSP Quake. There's a Turok total conversion for Quake on the PSP, too, maybe you should go talk to them about how unoriginal they are because Turok inspired them to do something with Quake on the PSP.

[BelmontSlayer]

I don't know where you get your information, but tip of your finger seems like a fine guess.

Actually dandi8, it was YOU who said that dual-wielding would be implemented. Maybe you don't remember, but you posted it on the official forums here (http://haloportable.forumup.co.uk/post-2297-haloportable.html#2297). The high-res models comment was in regards to Quake's default models. The models you guys are creating would be considered high-res in comparison.

As for the videos, let's just say I have a friend who's a beta tester. :D


I just hate it when people say things that aren't true, and this topic is filled with lies IMO.

Please point out the lies in this news post. All of the information I posted was either statements from yourself or other team members or what I derived from the beta version that i saw.

I'm not trying to be an asshole, I just hate it when people accuse others of being liars without checking their own sources first. Also, the project looks awesome and I'm looking forward to any future updates. Keep up the good work!

I think this is a case of miscommunication.




I don't no if this has already been covered but will you be able to hold only 2 weapons at a time like in halo?

Yes. This is one of the things that makes Halo special and it will definetely be added along with pressing a button to pick up a weapon etc. :)
...Source (http://haloportable.forumup.co.uk/post-2297-haloportable.html#2297)

Meaning that -- as in Halo -- you can only carry two weapons to cycle between at a time, as opposed to being able to cycle through as many different weapons as you have picked up. Not dual-wield two weapons. Nothing to get everyones knickers in a twist over.

Edit: But, to steer everything back, I'd still like to point out that this will be stinkin' sweet.

[Apoklepz]

Not a Halo fan...never have been. I've always favored GoldenEye and Quake.

But, those screenshots look way better than anything I've seen modded for Quake before...so you have my attention.

I am psyched to see what the final product looks and plays like.

I have one question though...Where is Dual Wielding?...Somewhere between Jabroni and Albaquerquee, I guess?
Just teasing. KP

Good luck to the team responsible.

[dandi8]

Dude, being able to HOLD ONLY TWO WEAPONS AT A TIME is different than dual wielding XD

And the fact that you've seen gameplay means that we have a leaker which will have to be investigated.

And for all the haters:
This mod is for people that like Halo. If you don't like Halo, this mod's probably not good for your health (unless you plan on liking it). Just a comment from me.


Now when all the hating is done and hopefully news posters will start reading more carefully, we can start the lovin' :) But I most likely won't be checking this topic too often so if you guys have any questions head over to our forum.

In this weekly update we talk about why the mod name has changed from Halo:Portable to Halo:Solitude.
Some pictures of my PlayStation Portable running Halo solitude, we show off two new maps and we also have a ingame video !

Sorry for late update ( i had to redo it :S) , alot of fans of the mod may have noticed that the mod's name has changed from Halo:Portable to Halo:Solitude ,the reason of this change is that Halo portable was a codename for the project , since we didn't know much on the campaign we didn't want to call it something that bared little relevance to the story ,now that we have a good idea on the story we decided that Halo solitude makes for an great name.Now here are some pictures of my PSP running the mod (sorry for the bad picture quality).

Here is Ceruix's description of the map


WIP so far, textures arnt finalized yet, but here's what i got.
I wanted it to look like an old facility that had been over grown on,
that way to give the players something new to see when playing.
