St Marco Posted 26 August, 2010 Share Posted 26 August, 2010 The advertising bomb begins, literally http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IMTK7yuoq0&feature=player_embedded Not normally a fan of Halo but this one looks bad ass and will be bought for sure!

hypochondriac Posted 27 August, 2010 Share Posted 27 August, 2010 It's a trailer. They can make it look as good as they want. All irrelevant without in-game footage. Not sure why anyone even bothers to look at a trailer until we see actual footage of the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 27 August, 2010 Author Share Posted 27 August, 2010 Yeah Hypo, that was an advert, not a trailer, none of that is actually in game footage, if it was it would be pretty amazing! There was a beta that had like 3 million people or something in it so lots of gameplay footage about. Here is a cool video a gamer made of his time in the beta graphics kick ass. And here is a proper trailer, all in game footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8uJRYUOdME&feature=player_embedded I just read the CVG preview, if you got time is a good read http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=261713 They say "The Halo marathon that ensued purged any doubt from our minds that not only is the forthcoming Reach every inch the sterling sign off from Bungie, but it's also set to blow its shooter rivals off the face of the planet this September. Straight away you'll clock the gigantic leap in visual quality from Halos 3 and ODST. Bungie hasn't confirmed 60 frames a second - but it certainly looks that way. It's a lot more fluid than Gears Of War - and in-game action runs as smoothly as Modern Warfare 2. This one would have Marcus Fenix and Captain Price going green around the gills. The AI on show is simply staggering, a decade of experience and familiarity with the universe right there on screen to test your gaming mettle" Can't wait.

Bentley Posted 27 August, 2010 Share Posted 27 August, 2010 The first one was brilliant. Defined how to do FPS' on consoles since Goldeneye. I don't know how it's got away with simply re-packaging the same game with a different number next to it for about 6/7 years, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperm_john Posted 28 August, 2010 Share Posted 28 August, 2010 yeah your right, cos that video has possibly been tweaked and enhanced ...to hell with the game, i'm not gonna buy it now, I only buy games that literally look as they do in the adverts...

Saint_Jonny Posted 28 August, 2010 Share Posted 28 August, 2010 To say im looking forward to September 14th is a ****ing understatement. Ive logged an unhealthy amount of hours playing halo over the years, and this next one just looks brilliant. I have not been able to play Halo 3 since the Reach beta finished because Reach makes 3 look antiquated. Cant.....Wait....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The live action add' for ODST was absolutely terrific. Should make a movie in the same style, would be epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robsk II Posted 28 August, 2010 Share Posted 28 August, 2010 There was something similar for Mass Effect 2, and actually, while it was very much CGId, it did a pretty decent job of looking cool whilst not beung unlike the game actually could play out.

Robsk II Posted 28 August, 2010 Share Posted 28 August, 2010 This one: Very dramatic, but even that massive thing got killed in the game. Or at least, if you were half decent. And as I say, it wasn't miles away from the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably shouldnt bother trying to build the hype up if it doesnt please you hypo, silly bungie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 They probably shouldnt bother trying to build the hype up if it doesnt please you hypo, silly bungie. Up to them. I'm just saying a game could have fantastic advertising and be sh*t. Advertising for a game which doesn't show any of the game is pointless IMO.

St Marco Posted 3 September, 2010 Author Share Posted 3 September, 2010 In america Gamestop (one of the biggest stores in the world) have just said this "Due to massive demand and excessive sales the following are all sold out WORLDWIDE. We are not allowed to take anymore pre-orders. Legendary Edition Limited Edition Halo Reach console bundle. We still can take pre-orders on the standard but have been notified that maybe only for a week more". Game better honour my pre-order or i will be ****ed!

St Marco Posted 14 September, 2010 Author Share Posted 14 September, 2010 Got mine earlier, was a massive queue to get it. Haven't been able to play long but so far is awesome. Like the fact we can now customize what we looklike with various types of armor/add-ons etc.. Also i just saw Gamespot gave it a 9.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Benali Posted 14 September, 2010 Share Posted 14 September, 2010 Superb game. Really dark compared to the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Saint Posted 22 September, 2010 Share Posted 22 September, 2010 Picked up a rental copy last night - hacked through 3-4 hours worth of covenant playing on heroic. Not sure if I've played too many other FPS games in the past few years, but it doesn't feel as though Halo has evolved, which is a good and bad thing. Needless to say I doubt I'll be consumed by the desire to rank up like I was in CoD MW2, and the campaign still has a poignancy that other FPS games don't. The audio is superb, colours are darker and many of the easy kills have been reduced. The Elites seemer harder to take down, weapons have been altered and I dare say the storyline and future elements of it will draw me in, the way my first encounter with The Flood did but so far (four levels in) its still the same game I was playing earlier this decade. So I've matured a little and am growing out of video games finally. Or perhaps that will change as the game evolves. I'm now itching to play again but am working from home and will resist until this evening. Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
