Hollywood Producer: "Halo is the Star Wars of our generation" (Great A

Saying Halo is on the same level as Star Wars is the same thing as saying Hannah Montana is as big as The Beatles.

I agree completely.

[QUOTE="Rza_rectah"][QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Butcher it. :| You obviously didn't follow the process of the Halo movie when it was in the process of going to development. Bungie had to approve the script, and would look over it. Peter Jackson and Neil would be in control, both of which are big Halo fans. Butcher it? What a joke. The Halo movie was in great hands, it fell through because it was too expensive for Fox and Universal. The dumbasses. I thought Halo 3's launch (making 300 million in a day?) would spur interest in the movie, sadly, it did not.kolkov01

Yeah, I would've put even Max Payne over all game-to-movie adaptations except for Silent Hill (The best IMO).

I'd rather wait until I'm disappointed but real problems than be disappointed beforehand about imaginary problems I know absolutely nothing about.

I am the last person to defend EA, I still boycott Madden to this day, but the last year and a half has been very promising:

Dead Space, Mirrors Edge, Battlefield:Bad Comapny, Burnout Paradise have all been quality experiences unmarred by corporate stupidity.They let Criterion release AN ENTIRE YEAR OF FREE DLC. If that isn't proof that they want to do things differently, then nothing will convince you. Of course there will be instances of greed, but for the most part, they are doing some good stuff. Ease off the hate. It's seriously blinding you.

[QUOTE="TREAL_Since"]Harry Potter is this generation's Star Wars. As far as video games go, Halo is the biggest phenomenon, but I wouldn't call it the best game world/story. Wait about 5 years and Mass Effect universe will be the best sci-fi wise :) (it's still quite young).jg4xchamp

This is what we call a classic hater.

Who says I'm hating? :| I don't find those games you'd mentioned that good. And EA ruined many others as well. Thus, I have little reason to believe they won't ruin something like Mass Effect 2.codezer0

stop tc, you're a joke if you belive any of this. back in the day of star wars kids weren't picked on or laughed at for liking starwars, everybody liked Starwars. Halo......it has alot of fans yes, but honestly walk into a bar with a halo shirt and watch how fast ull get kicked out Microsoft1234

Star Wars is a movie that had a great cast. Halo is a great video game that lacks a cast outside of the Chief, Cortana, and Johnson basically.

Both sequels beat the record for fastest form of entertainment in 1 night, EVER selling nearly 3 million in preorders alone each sequel... So yea, its definitely a phenomenon

krp008

You dont understand. Its the most popular form of entertainment in the US, EVER. That includes all movies including Star Wars

Jeesh.

Neither is Call of Duty, The Sims and World of Warcraft.

You are confusing it with a video game that pushes alot of copies.
