Has any game ever topped Halo hype machine? Bungie knows Halo is the best FPS

You can count on one hand the amount of games that carry the same force as Halo and still have fingers left over.

Any Halo fan should check out these links the trailers are awesome

I have to admit I am so looking forward to the Reach blow out. Only a game like Halo can get such a buzz going. I mean we are talking the true king of MLG tournaments and any gaming tournament in general. Microsoft do not go full out with ODST but for Halo 3 it was nuts and I expect Halo Reach will reach the same levels. Reach not only looks like a true Halo game but the best Halo game yet. After E3 is when Microsoft will go in full force. It is starting a little but not major yet. After E3 Kotaku,Joystiq, Destructoid and others will have non-stop Halo just like Halo 3. The result are in and Bungie + Halo = 90+ score

Here is the greatness we can expect. Here is some of the hype train videos

The trailers

The glory starts here. The first E3 trailer

The famous Monday Night Football add "Starry Night"

The E3 2007 Trailer

Live Action adds

The monument ( a rather good ad)

The museum

Gravesite

Hunted

Weapon Museum

The movie type ads

Arms Race 1,2 and 3 in one video

There is more add/trailers but those are a few of them. I have to admit when it comes to Bungie and Microsoft they know how to build hype.

The products all are true

Mountain Dew

Burger King

Pontiac Halo 3 edition

7-11 slurpee Halo

The Toys and tons of them for example this one from Todd McFarlene

Now before the haters rush in remember you need to pick your battles carefully.

Change real world hype for American hype and yeah ...

We Europeans got none of that fancy **** :(

Gears was pretty damn hyped, that one advertisement made me buy the game with no prior knowledge of it

[QUOTE="SilentlyMad"][QUOTE="ENEMYAC130ABOV3"]Here's how I personally rank the most hyped/anticipated games in recent history: 1 ---- Halo 3. 2 ---- Modern Warfare 2 (the pre-talk about the massacre mission was alone more discussed than any other game) 3 ---- SSBB - this was just... wow. 4 ---- Killzone 2. Recent historyENEMYAC130ABOV3

I agree with this list.

What on earth are you talking about? I'm from the UK, Halo was not as hyped here as it was in the US. Simple. We didn't get all the special stuff the Americans did.

What's hard to understand about that?

It's one of the biggest ... The biggest exclusive game for sure. After Mario Kartof Course.

Still we're talking about it's hype and in the UK the hype was nothing to write home about.

It's no surprise that Microsoft and Bungie are No1 in the All Formats Chart with 'Halo 3'. 'Halo 3' storms in as the second fastest selling game ever in the UK, behind 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'.

The UK's love-affair with Rockstar's PS2 San Andreas almost 3 years ago is still the benchmark for week 1 and lifetime sales. However, the PS2 installed base back then was around 6.6m (after 4 years) – Microsoft have to make do with 'just' 1.4m in less than 2 years. Released on Wednesday 26th September for the first time on Microsoft's Xbox 360 format, 'Halo 3' was bought by 1 in 3 Xbox 360 owners in its first week, whereas 1 in 6 Xbox owners bought 'Halo 2' and back in PS2's heyday (week 44 2004) 1 in 10 PS2 owners bought 'San Andreas'. Although 'Halo 3' had a headstart on San Andreas with 4 days of sales in its first week rather than San Andreas' 2 days, the launch is still very impressive, helping to more than double the sales of Xbox 360 hardware to the highest level shown this year and even beats Nintendo's Wii for the first time since week 13 this year. 68% of Xbox 360 software sales this week were of 'Halo 3' (compared to 56% of PS2 software for San Andreas' launch), pushing Microsoft's format to its highest sales week ever (comfortably beating week 51 2006 which was the previous highest). 'Halo 3' is not the only massive game to be launched this week: EA's 'FIFA 08' kicks off at No2 in the All Formats Chart with the biggest opening week of any FIFA game. The PS2 version accounts for 44% of sales, the Xbox 360 version 26%, 20% on PS3 and 10% across the remaining formats (PSP, Wii, PC and DS). The Xbox 360 version of 'FIFA 08' is the third fastest selling Xbox 360 game in the UK, behind 'Halo 3' and 'Gears of War'. 83% of all Xbox 360 software sales were for 'Halo 3' and 'FIFA 08'. There are a total of 7 new games in this week's All Formats Top 40 released by 5 different publishers – Microsoft, EA, THQ, Sega and Activision. The next highest new entry is THQ's 'Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights' at No5, then 'Sega Rally' at No7 and EA's 'Skate' on Xbox 360 at No11. Activision's PC-only 'Quake Wars: Enemy Territory' can only manage No16, while THQ's 'Ratatouille' sneaks in at No39 in anticipation of the film's UK release on October 12th.

Do not worry though because I do not expect a response. It would have been easier if you said some other country because like I said UK is the only area to give numbers.

[QUOTE="-Snooze-"]

[QUOTE="SilentlyMad"]Sorry it gets confusing when people say Europe vs America because maybe you think I am just some silly yank but the UK seems to love 360 and its games so I do not see your point. So it would be at least more helpful saying which country instead of combining several different ones Vs America. If not then I guess the french are just the same type as the english. Also if your not from the UK can you post numbers or do we go by the "10" people you know since UK is the only country in Europe to give any numbers.

I never said it didn't sell ... It's Halo of course it sold.

I said it wasn't as hyped and we didn't get all that mountain dew BS. Which is true. It's obvious you have no clue what you're talking about.

There was a midnight launch party at my local GS (i live in a town outside Dublin) + tons of adverts on UK and Irish TV. Sure it didnt reach the level it did in the States but it was alot more than a regular game release.

I'm not debating that though. It's Halo of course it's hyped more then 99.9% of games.

I said it didn't have a smuch hype over here as it did in America, but this one Halo fanboy seems to think otherwise.

Aye youre right, nowhere near as much hype as in the US.

On topic, i'd imagine a new FF game would be uber hyped in Japan.

Honestly, Wii Sports had some pretty ridiculous hype. It may have won.Notsogr8one

[QUOTE="SilentlyMad"]:lol: that is awesome you feel like you have to resort to saying things like kid now and I am loving this. I am glad you live there but even though you do I can sense you can not tell what games are popular and hyped. Just throwing this out there though the 2nd fastest selling game EVER does not happen because no one has heard about it. That means there has been some hype. So what is your point really? So your point is a country I do not live in had more hype then a country I do live in? Ok got it thanks. Just a side note it seems the hype machine worked rather well for Halo where you live.SilentlyMad

Oh wow you have no idea what you're talking about ... And frankly, neither do I.

I said us Europeans didn't get all the special stuff Americans did. How hard is that to stomach? It's like talking to a brick wall Albeit a brickwall that spews nonsense every other 10 seconds

Only other games that matched the hype were:

GTA IV

WoW

Modern Warfare 2

Donkey Kong Country?

In the future, these titles will match the hype:

Halo: Reach

Zelda

Starcraft

Diablo 3

[QUOTE="-Snooze-"]

[QUOTE="SilentlyMad"]So what was your point from the start? You clearly wanted to bash Halo or America and please do not say different. After the link I posted it was clear it was hyped in the UK to at least a high degree. My thread only said that Halo was one of the most hyped games ever. YOU made it into a country Vs country thing heck you made it into a Europe Vs America thing at first. Also I mean heck look at population,games sales, and just pure money per person and of course more advertisement will go to America. You tried to play it off as America was the only place it was hyped though. On top of that with such clear facts you have to resort to name calling. I am glad 90% of the UK posters do not need to resort to name calling when they can not back up their debate.

I'm starting to think you're doing this on purpose. At leastI hope so ...

I didn't claim anything about hwo it was recieved. If you think otherwise, prove it.

I said, and this will be the last time, that we Europeans didn't get all the stuff Americans did.
