Excellent thread.  Halo 4 is shaping up to be pretty good, and I can't wait to pick up my copy on launch day after voting in the people who will gently caress up America for the next 4 years.

Bungie really wanted us to love alien zombies, but it just wasn't meant to be.  The flood really was a terrible idea, and should have never made it into Halo 2 and 3.

I'm considering going on a pretty decent fap hiatus and commence wailing on that sucker/read Halo 4 previews shortly before 4 comes out and hopefully trigger some sort of never before experienced nostalgia trip that puts me in an adolescent state thats just long enough to re experience the beauty of exploring the Halo universe for the 1st time again. What if something goes horribly wrong and you never come out of that state?

What's the general opinion on that live action web mini-series, Forward Unto Dawn? I don't believe it's out yet, but is soon. From what i've seen of the trailers, it might actually be kinda cool.

RBA Starblade posted:I'm not the only one seeing a lot of Metroid Prime in Halo 4's preview stuff am I? I've seen what's basically the power beam, plasma beam, x-ray visor, scan visor, and a lot of the helmets look like stuff from the Prime games. I don't have a problem with that because Metroid Prime is great, but it's a bit odd to me. Even the bad guys look like space pirates. Nope, you are not the only one. This new alien race screams Metroid to me.

InfinEight posted:I think I mentioned Metroid in the other thread, but even if I didn't I thought the same thing as soon as I saw the campaign demo. And for some reason, I'm recalling that one of the designers for Halo 4 worked on the Metroid Prime games but I'm probably imagining it. No, you are correct, a few of the people working on Halo 4 did work on the Metroid Prime series.

Why do we need killcams when all of your matches are automatically saved as replays that you can watch later?

Friendly Factory posted:I think I'll wait until after release to decide if I'll get the season pass. Need to see if I'm gonna be a Halo 3 grump with this game. Whenever I look at the numbers in Halo Reach, of people playing the DLC maps, its not enough at all to warrant wanting to get those maps. So probably going to skip the season pass myself, but its hard to say. Could be completely different for Halo 4.

WeaponGradeSadness posted:I wasn't totally sold on the idea of having a mech in the game, until I saw it loving stomping a Warthog and a Ghost into the ground! The video is obviously very misleading in order to make the mech look cooler than it probably really is. I'm expecting the thing can be destroyed pretty easily.

Yeah, I don't see why Best Buy won't have any copies on launch day. You'll be able to just stroll on in and pick one up. Each store will easily have a few thousand available.

Maker Of Shoes posted:The first one that came out today? It was filmed well, acting was ok, set was a bit above average. I don't understand the context though. What am I watching? A bunch of no name grunts before the Covenant came along? Same opinion. It's hard to care when I have no idea what the context is. Maybe it'll be explained later on, but really this is suppose to be setup from the start. Not enough is explained.

PriorMarcus posted:The short black woman trying to act as a tough military leader was awful, terrible miscasting there. Glad I wasn't the only one. The problem was that she put absolutely no emotion into it at all. I know there's a very limited budget for this show, but it's supposedly not that hard to hire actual military people and cheaply.

Multiplayer has always been the focus. I'm pretty sure most Halo fans don't even touch the single player, and the few that do only do it for the achievements.

They are created because that is what is expected whether they get played or not. No ones going to put down $60 without at least some single player content thrown in. Plus when your single game makes almost as much money as the rest of the game industry does combined, you can afford to cater to a small group of people for your multi-billion dollar a year franchise.

-A n i m 8- posted:God loving dammit. Why did these assholes needed to leak this. I really hope they will get caught and lawyeraped by MS. Its happened before with these leaks, so hopefully it happens again. It sucks that you have to be hurt by piracy like this, and well before the game even releases. It's unfair to the people who intend to buy the game too that some little shits get to enjoy it weeks in advance without spending a single dime on it, and likely never will even come November 6.

Bob NewSCART posted:So how's this game shaping up? I haven't really followed it at all but I've loved every single halo game thus far. From what i've seen so far, this is going to be really good. In my opinion, i've liked all of the announced changes, and i'm constantly floored by the graphic improvements. I thought Reach was pretty impressive looking, but this just blows it out of the water, and shows that the Xbox 360 still has a lot of untapped power left in it. The multiplayer will tie me over until the next Xbox for sure. So hyped for this game.

Reading the Halo 4 threads on NeoGAF, and it appears Microsoft is on the ball with banning people who are playing this. If they detect it, they just console ban right away.

Anna Popplewell is the only well known actor on there and she is in her 20s. IMDB lists the ages of some of the actors, and the ones that are listed are all in their 20s or older.

The best thing about Halo, is that in a sea of shooters where every gun kills you in one or two hits, making all of the guns exactly the same at that point; Halo multiplayer didn't do that. You can take quite a few hits before dying, making 1 on 1's very intense, and it didn't just come down to who shot who first.

-A n i m 8- posted:Just going to leave this here. That was pretty cool, but I have to be honest, I really wish you guys hadn't decided to write a story about Master Chief. I liked it better when he was a mystery. He just seemed more badass when I thought of him as just a very talented soldier. Now that we know he is just some kid who was kidnapped from his parents, and engineered into a kill machine, originally to slaughter other humans, it's not as cool anymore. fluxus posted:I'll need to buy a new Xbox if I want Halo 4 (which I really do), but I'm not sure if a 360 is worth $200 near the end of its life cycle. Anyone want to help me in my conflict by convincing me one way or another? I got one last year expecting the life cycle to be over this year. The way I justified it to myself was that the system has a crap load of games on it that are worth playing and aren't on any other system. Once the next Xbox comes out, it will only have like three, maybe five games worth playing for the first two years of its cycle; that's how it always works it seems, and the system will be very expensive. So there's still plenty of life in the Xbox really. I said come in! fucked around with this message at 13:53 on Oct 19, 2012 |
