- Amplix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13so why not link to ign?
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/703/703671p1.html - TheBigBoss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Has there everbeen a Halo CGI?
- 1911wolf, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Q: What's more amazing than this story being on the front page twice?
A: The word Apple isn't anywhere in it. - ScottJG, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Please, let us just play as Master Chief this time, and bring us back to the Legacy that was Halo 1.
- PaulC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The Halo franchise is a moneymaking machine. Companies like Microsoft are in the business of making money, not fostering creativity.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Hope it's not CG.
- Dog_Paddle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Damnit. A whole week away.
- phpirate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I don't think it'll be CG. For Halo 2 they used all game rendered movies (there was a lot of speculation that it was rendered at the time, but when Halo 2 came out everyone realized that WAS the engine). I can't wait to see what they're going to pull off with next generation consoles.
I also have a feeling that if "Halo 3" raps up the clilff hanger, I doubt it'll be the last game. They'll likely try to make some other kind of game, and then bring halo back for another run. It is a very popular series, up there with things like starcraft and half life. - crazyman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Probably CG, but it will be nice to see the direction they are going in.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Halo 3 video will be shown on Tuesday, May 9, Waooooooooooo!!!
- Phyltre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No Halo trailers have ever been CG. You're thinking of all the other FPSes.
- u3b3rg33k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3you know, it'd be nice to be able to play halo 2 on my PC before halo 3 came out...
- Phyltre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm pretty sure that what they present at E3 will be realtime. Maybe not everything will make its way into the game, but listening to Frankie's updates, they've already recorded the new theme and have fully functioning portions of the game set out (especially multiplayer, which Frankie has said they've been playing for months now, only saying it was their "next project.")
Whatever they present at E3, it won't be the completely fabricated showing they gave for Halo 2. THAT thing was the reason Halo 2 ended up being rushed. And I think they're pretty sick of all the fan backlash when they show something in a trailer (like a new vehicle) and then remove it out of the final. - SimonX314, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Master Chief" is his rank, the highest enlisted rank in the military.
- kb9vgr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2umm the e3 vid had the bomb edited out but otherwise it was exactly the same as the cut scene after the first level in the game
- strictnein, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2yes, until the next halo in 5 years
- jpt62089, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2So uh... just stop the story line halfway through?
Would you read a REALLY good book if it was only half the book and the rest of the book never existed? - SimonX314, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"I remember seeing a pre-render for Halo 2, very early before any gameplay video was out. It was Master Chief in a space ship, he opens the door and is sucked out, then he floats to some bomb and pushes it to another space-ship, which then explodes. The quality was way beyond anything that the Xbox would ever actually do."
That's the first level in Halo 2 on the Xbox. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3old news...exciting never the less.
- strictnein, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I hope it'll be like e3 2005 where about 1% of the gameplay shown was in the actual final product.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2its the coolest, next to Gordon Freeman
- jpt62089, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1At least it's actually soon!
- EPeters, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3whether or not Halo 3 will be at E3, does anyone agree that another Halo game is a good idea? They need to take the talented people at Bungie and move on to a new IP. Continuing on a franchise like Halo just limits creativity.
- Spartn119, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Art9681 is correct as far as I know. I remember the footage dioscaido is talking about, that was some of the first footage, I remember drooling and feeling like a kid in a candy store when I saw that. It was however, actual real-time footage. It was altered in the final version of the game, although I can't remember how at the moment (I believe it had something to do with the Covenant bomb he took out with him?) Regardless, anything Halo 3, even if it's just pictures, will absolutely make my day.
- TheBrandman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, knowing the inevitable hype around this game it will probably be a vague opener with dust and fog and space ending with a silhouetted Master Chief in a doorway.
- VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"Master Chief" is either the lamest name or the coolest name in the history of anything. I haven't decided yet.
- Art9681, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Correct me if i'm wrong, but there has never been a pre-rendered Halo video shown. All videos in past E3 expo's have always been in-game footage, can anyone confirm this?
- SimonX314, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Halo 2 is a new game on the 360. Its in widescreen 720p. Serious advantage in sniping matches on Xbox Live.
- Rooster.boy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hope next week the whole Internet isn't flooded with a minute new feature of Halo 3. The addition of dual wielding was probably the single most annoying thing that no one would shut up about when it was announced for Halo 2...I hope we don't have to go through the same thing again this year. Microsoft isn't remaking Halo 2 for 360, it's a new game!...yay, they're so innovative :|.
- EPeters, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1First: Microsoft IS in the business of making money! Duh. That wasn't my point. Second, who says that Halo is a really good "book". It's a third rate sci-fi plot built upon Done-to-death gameplay. Coming up with a more creative, interesting game doesn't mean that Microsoft still won't make a ***** ton of money. Perhaps it might even garner them a little respect. Trust me, they need it.
- Narpas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1James Raynor comes in at a third.
- pgouy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Damn, i have to finish those Halo games someday...
- cyrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No that was not an april fools joke, considering they persisted in stressing that it wasn't after the issue had been released. By they, I mean the developers.
Also, do you see that reply button? - metacoola, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wait....I can't play it using the revolution controller??
Oh... - cyrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does anyone else remember them saying that a new "halo" game wasn't in the pipes just yet? But a game only based in the halo universe? I specifically recall an article in Game Informer where they said that it wasn't going to follow in line with Halo and Halo 2 at all.
- snipes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The most anticipated shadow of 2006.
- kleger, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3i would say that halo 2 was more than "minor tweaks and neat little new features," yet you say thats a diappointment. basically change it, it sucks, keep it the same it sucks. right-o.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2watch it freeze.....and yes I own an X360 and like Halo...
- nessup, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5haha, so true.
- jellymel, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3i wonder if they will show in game scenes..
- agdtinman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"The developers" just laughed at the game informer that stated that, if I remember correctly...
- dioscaido, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I remember seeing a pre-render for Halo 2, very early before any gameplay video was out. It was Master Chief in a space ship, he opens the door and is sucked out, then he floats to some bomb and pushes it to another space-ship, which then explodes. The quality was way beyond anything that the Xbox would ever actually do.
Love halo though. - Cthalupa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1phpirate:
Uh, Starcraft only ever got an expansion, not a sequel. Might not be the best example for what you're trying to convey :P - GNiMeLF, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4i'll laugh if it's just a HALO3 Screensaver...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1halo is an overrated franchise....ever see a pc fps game before? no? i didnt think so...
- Rangoth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0So will this one have a DAMN ENDING?
- elroy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2HALO. Console gaming for mouth-breathers.
- jpt62089, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Yes please bring back the Halo 1 goodness, no Halo 2 crap! I don't want to be playing campaign once and be done with it! I want to be playing it for over a year just like Halo 1!!!
- PSUstoekl, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2I have to say, after the disappointment that was Halo 2, I really can't get that pumped. I mean, yeah... the graphics will be better and everything, but the gameplay of this shooter really doesn't enthuse me. Just not my sorta thing, I dunno.
One sort of semi-problem here is that Microsoft is going to stick with what has worked for them in the past, so expect to see some minor tweaks and neat little new features, and nice new graphics, but nothing you haven't really seen before. - PsychoMunky, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0http://i1.tinypic.com/x1d2mp.jpg
Heheh, sorry... just wanted to use it :P -
