'Halo' TV show is off to a very, very bad start

as if it was ever going to be anything other than garbage. its the typical hero action flick: introduce characters, something goes wrong, chief comes to save the day.

Only interesthing thing in this thread, is the idea of a ME TV show by HBO =O

Didn't even look interesting and couldn't tell what was going on in the trailers.

" I wouldn't even play Halo again. It's so bland.

You know what? This is my review: "This show is so bad I'm buying a PS4."

Hahaha nice review ^^

If Frank O'Connor really wanted a good show or movie, he would hand over creative control to someone with actual talent at making a show or movie. I have no sympathy for this.

^ It is nice to see someone like Spielberg attached to the show, but I'd still rather see a movie with a good director and producer than a show.

They can always bring it back next year as a Remastered version.

Master Chief won't be in Nightfall, it is introducing Locke before his role in Halo 5.

Did it really take 50 posts in for it to be brought up that Halo: Nightfall is NOT the "Halo TV show" directed by Steven Speilberg and Neil Blomkamp, but instead, a low budget promotional web series ala Forward Unto Dawn?

Title and OP is misleading, and needs to be changed, but im pretty sure TC knew this and designed the thread to mislead. For shame Moojenga.

FYI, this is Neil Blomkamp's newest movie, Chappie:

This is the next upcoming movie, by one of the guys directing the ACTUAL Halo TV show, who also made District 9. Look at that fooking CGI. I am not worried in the slightest about this TV show dissapointing.

I haven't seen it yet so I'm going to just write it off because a bunch of people I've never heard of do. "Mama" was a well received horror movie and I thought it was shit. Big deal.

Halo: Nightfall is not the Halo TV Series. Nightfall is a five-part episodic event produced by Ridley Scott and tells the origin of Agent Locke, one of Halo 5: Guardian's main characters. Nightfall is done by the same team who did Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, which told the origin of the one of Halo 4's main character, Thomas Laskey. The TV Series is still in development and being produced by Steven Spielberg.

TC was well aware of this before posting this thread. The thread was designed specifically for the intention of misleading.

I had a feeling this would be awful. Ridley Scott was just a name Microsoft paid for to create buzz. I doubt he had any real involvement in making this.

Maybe so, but even the reviews couldn't make the distinction between the low-budget episodic event Nightfall and the upcoming full-fledged Halo TV Series. I can't take these reviews seriously when the reviewers couldn't even properly do the research.

that's an awful lot of write-up in the OP when one could just look at the trailer and see it looks like shit

BTW, I'm still going to watch what comes with the MCC. :D

It's pretty good, the Forerunner trilogy, especially Silentium really expands on the Flood and really shows that if they really wanted to they could steamroll the UNSC and Covenant overnight.

Hoh man. You should read The Fall of Reach sometime. The books do a much better job of portraying John/Master Chief as the unstoppable bad ass that he is. I can think of at least three situations in the books that are never talked about in the games that can and will blow your mind. They did for me anyway.

Damn, now you made me hungry.

meh, wasn't expecting it to be all that good anyways

@kingtito: Hilarious coming from another fanboy.

You don't see me creating threads slamming Sony or any of it's consoles do you? You seem to putting down the PS4? Didn't think so

Still watching it :P

If this was released in 2005 it would've been big. In 2014 no one cares about halo but couple of nerds fueled by nostalgia.

That's going to be a difficult point for you to prove.

Meh, I'll judge it for myself. I really liked Forward Unto Dawn.

Based on the $220 million Halo 4 made on its launch day, I'd have to agree that nobody cares about Halo.

Video game story fails in a medium with actual standards, more at 11.

halo is dead long time ago the other noob game took over

On Ps3 because forget buying a Ps4.

-shrugs-

watch it once then play the games and wait for the beta. not a big deal.

Boring universe? thats a seriously subjective opinion right there.

Saying that i never expected this to be any good anyway.

Halo, Stellar games, Crap TV.

Nah, this isn't The Last of Us.

So Xbox owners get bad shows and great games.

PS4 owners get no shows and no games.

LOL yes cows rejoice. XD

There are still people who care about the official Halo fanfic in 2014?

Wrong way round on the games there, Justin.

LoL at Cows using a TV series to rip on the X1!! Still no games to play huh guys???

I hope they're wrong, because it looks pretty interesting.

I'm not expecting it to be phenomenal by any stretch of the imagination, but somewhat enjoyable at least.

The only one caring about that show is you TC.
