OFFICIAl HALO 4 Trailer :D :D :D

[QUOTE="gamedude234"]

Halo is not milked, has never been milked, and will not be milked in the forseeable future. In order for something to be milked, it has to bring nothing to the series and has to release a crazy amount of games(once a year). And each Halo brings something new to the franchise so that it feels distinct different from other Halos.

Led_poison

Halo 3: ODST 2009

Halo Reach 2010

Halo CE Anniversary 2011

Halo 4 2012

not milked AT ALL. :roll:

Except that each Halo is different from the other, Halo anniversary was requested by TONNES of people, and they payed attention.

and if you simply define milking as simply releasing a lot of games, then fine. the fans want more Halo games. Who wouldn't not want to give them that? 343 industries are very passionate about Halo. If the milk is good, then milk away? If the games will be of consistent quality like the past ones and current ones, then have 1 a year, great!

proof once again that msoft cant develop software to save their life, they just throw money around and buy out other people.

dxmcat

yeah, because sony totally develops their own games, right?

Meh. Consecutive sequels won't have the same impact. How many of us actually though to ourselves "man I really wish MS would release yet another Halo" after playing Halo Wars or after playing ODST or after playing Halo Reach?

Whats the big deal? It's not like it's any more milked than the standard successful Sony or Nintendo Franchise. Just how many Pokemon and Ratchet games are there again? Both have released more titles in the span of time that Halo has existed than Halo itself has.

Most of the people complaining are people who don't even like Halo.

And it's not like these games were uncalled for. It's Halo's tenth anniversary, you really think they were gonna let that pass by? And people have been wanting to know whats going to hapen to the Master Chief and Cortana.

You do realize 343 Industries is an internal Microsoft studio?

I've never really been a fan of Master Chief so this is kind of a bummer for me. I still want to see more of the game though.

RUMOURS....

Take what you will from this, it may be true, it may not:

I've traveled far and wide to bring you some insights on Halo 4. Here's the deal, do not ask where the info came from I cannot reveal it, do not ask for proof cause I cannot give it. If you don't believe me I completely understand, as long as you realize that any requests for a source are wasting your time. If you don't want to take my word on this that's cool, it doesn't bother me if you don't believe me.

This is a bunch of info taken from a pretty secret media blast that's been doing the rounds and is under embargo until the Halo celebration event. This document is for media outlets and they'll no doubt be publishing these details later in August during the event. This is not an exact copy of the document but a paraphrased version from a journalist.

"Halo 4 returns players to the story of the Master Chief and Cortana in the events that follow the conclusion of Halo 3. Players will experience an all new story and introduce a new roster of enemies and weapons to the Halo experience. Set against the top secret Forerunner planetoid known to ONI as Sigma 7, players will encounter a dark new foe and unravel more of the mysteries behind the forerunners and the Office of Naval Intelligence.

At the heart of Halo 4 is a stronger focus than ever before behind story telling and player choice. Players will be offered an unprecedented level of customization and a narrative experience never before seen in a first person shooter. On a technical level Halo 4 pushes the boundaries of the action genre by incorporating larger battlefields than ever before and players will experience conflicts that seamlessly span land, sea and space.

Halo 4 will expand the series trademark arsenal of weapons and vehicles beyond any other title so far. Players can expect fan favorites to return along with new additions. Halo 4 will also feature the revolutionary new Arsenal Improvisation Mechanics that allow for menu-free, creative customization of weapons and vehicles in the heat of combat. Players will take their fight to a new level by dynamically tailoring their weapons and vehicles to suit any situations or enemies."

At the moment it seems 343 are focusing on the new and improved story and weapons system (of which the new AIM mechanic is only mysteriously alluded to) but there was some video shown that fills in some of the gaps. Halo 4 is set on a Forerunner planet that has an inner and outer surface that provides two distinct CIasses. The outside is very industrial and features a wide range of hostile Forerunner tech and AI. The video showed space combat here. The inside of the planetoid is hollow and is sectioned off in to many tiers/bands (almost resembling Halo rings) that feature a myriad of natural environments not only resembling earth's but many other alien terrains. The video featured combat across a multitude of environments from space to mountains, plains and oceans. Presumably, ONI had been top secretly researching the planet for some. There are UNSC forces on the planet but they look really degraded and disorganized and it was implied that they may be divided into factions and warring with each other. At one point we see a heavily modified warthog that has had the wheels replaced two kind of anti gravity devices. At another point the Chief is clearly sprinting which possibly implies a return of armor abilities. There was no sign of the Flood or the Covenant but at the very end of the trailer the 'dark new threat' was hinted at. The video ends with the Chief standing at a dark cave entrance and from within can be heard some menacing gurgling and grunting. Cortana says "They're coming back ... and there's a LOT more of them this time", the Master chief then readies a new weapon that looks like a cross between a rocket launcher and a Needler and it focuses on his helmet and visor and a number of strange digital effects ripple across his visor then the videos ends.

Anyway, say what you want, fake or real, it doesn't bother me, I know it's very reliable. Feel free to comment or speculate but please keep it clean.

anyone else glad bungie have gone? dont get me wrong i admire what they did with the franchise (except for reach) but i think halo needs a new creative force behind it. hopefully 343 bring something completely new to the table, anyone know if they are using a new engine?

siddhu33

I read it, and thanks :)

I figured we'd be fighting Forerunner enemies, or rogue UNSC forces. It seems like the Flood is making a combat though... I can't think of any other foe that Cortana would say "They're coming back" and that would be kept on a Forerunner installation.

I hope armor abilites come back as well, except for armor lock. Drop Shield is more than enough.

:lol: what? do you even know what milking means? Milking is when a company releases an absurd amount of games within a small period of time, each having no difference whatsoever. Milked franchises include, but are not limited to:

-COD

-Guitar hero(and now its dead)

-Tony Hawk(and now its dead too)

-FIFA

-Need For Speed

-Any game that was realised by Atari prior to the Video Game Crash.(ET, etc)

Halo is not milked, has never been milked, and will not be milked in the forseeable future. In order for something to be milked, it has to bring nothing to the series and has to release a crazy amount of games(once a year). And each Halo brings something new to the franchise so that it feels distinct different from other Halos.

gamedude234

actually it has been milked. They should have just finished it after reach and moved on. and halo 6 will end up a launch title for the next xbox.

define milked.

banking off of the same name over and over again expecting the hype to make the sales for you.which every company has done this gen.

Except that each Halo is different from the other, Halo anniversary was requested by TONNES of people, and they payed attention.

and if you simply define milking as simply releasing a lot of games, then fine. the fans want more Halo games. Who wouldn't not want to give them that? 343 industries are very passionate about Halo. If the milk is good, then milk away? If the games will be of consistent quality like the past ones and current ones, then have 1 a year, great!

gamedude234

Tonnes of people? Where? I bet they still charge full price for a remake, just as the case was for ODST. And that IS Milking.

I dont know if fans want more Halo games as Reach sold less than Halo 3.
