How much HAS the source engine changed in the last 10 years? There's loading screens in between levels in Portal 2...

 

[les papillons sexuels]

Its not that i even really have a problem with the design, its just EVERY SINGLE SOURCE GAME looks the same, Even unreal changes things up now and then.

I disagree, alein swarm, dota, team fortress 2, zeno clash, all look vastly different from half life.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Fake I think. Kinda looks like Metroid Prime.

srsly guise

if someone could mix Metroid Prime world/progression design with Halo combat design, that would pretty much be the best game ever made. Don't think it'll happen. Please prove me wrong, Kynan Pearson.

Ahh, ill give you that. Its just i struggle to like any game in the engine Im not a fan and i suppose thats my problem

no, no, I understand, while I appreciate the rendering pipline they use, I feel that the engine itself has become dated. It doesn't handle a lot of geometry well for example.

I'd really like to see a new engine out of valve for the new generation of hardware, i mean source has been around for a long time.

So, i'm just gonna go out on a limb and say we aren't getting any definite Halo 4 news until the March 21st OXM comes out?

There were a bunch of games demoed to press today at a Microsoft event. The embargo for that info ends March 5th. So maybe, if we're lucky, then.

 

[kittens]

Perhaps new trailer on March 5 and then TOTAL DETAILS EXTRAVANZA in OXM?

fixed

 

[Imperial Hot]

What if the twist is that Halo 4 uses Unreal Engine 4?

Tick. Tick. Boom.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

fixed

Frankie confirmed awhile ago it'll be before E3, so June 4th it is!

 

[Korosenai]

I doubt it, because Halo 4 isn't even the cover page if i'm correct. The cover page will be some game that is Killer or something like that.

Yeah, good point. I find it hard to believe we'll be waiting till E3, though.

 

[Surface of Me]

Is there any word on what the cover will be for the March GameInformer?

GameInformer likes to troll us with subtle tweets right up until the day they release it, so no

@GI_AndyMc will tweet about how he's "now ready to play Halo 4"

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Well, the podcast just basically confirmed we will see stuff in March, so lets hope its closer to the beginning of the month, like say the 5th.

 

[zethren]

March Gameinformer:

Amazing cover of Halo 4 concept art.

10 page cover story revealing all sorts of goodies.

Believe.

 

[Stinkles]

Probably a new logo.

I'll believe in Halo 4 when I see it.

 

[TUROK]

Just posted in the Halo OT on the Community forum:

Lets hope we all can see something soon. So I take it we won't get a Bulletin tonight? Sad.

Dun worry, next week's will be more packed anyhoo.

Alright folks: resume insane, unreasonable, totally blind hype.

 

[Sai-kun]

Source engine makes horrible ... everything Apart from physics.

I'm gonna laugh when it's a video of a 4 logo in Halo font on a black background, followed by monks chanting for 2 minutes.

Ending with "2012" fading in.

Actually, that would be awesome lol. The typical GAF response would be "GOTY."

 

[TheOddOne]

god what

no

Glad you said it Sai. Sheesh.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Probably a new logo.

/Gabotron ES

Fine, the logo isn't that bad. But its all we have to dissect. Well, that and codpieces.

Anyways, yeah. These next few days will be long, but I sense good things. =D

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Probably a new logo.

/Gabotron ES

And it'll look even more homemade

Why Frankie...why?

 

[Shake Appeal]

Probably a new logo.

/Gabotron ES

Oh shit, demo confirmed.

 

[godnorazi]

i switched over to the sony camp after my 3rd RRoD but if Halo4 ever comes out i will pick up another 360... hell by then it will be sub $100!

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Best line in the newest Sparkcast... "There's always a French Tom Morello waiting in the wings..."

Summary and breakdown of the new Halo Sparkast available here:

[Conor 419]

Saw this on twitter, it's pretty convincing. It looks like the game will be opting for a more 'Film de Noir' approach.

 

[monome]

Probably a new cod piece.

Fixed.

A french blaxploitation Halo game? more probably a "Film Noir".



John met an irresistible AI who contacted him with the promise of saving the world. The deed is done, but now together at last they must face the terrible dangers of having stepped into the radar of a formidable ancient threat. With dangers past and front, can they still count on each othr? and what is the secret the AI Cortana seems to be witholding within her impenetrable pussy stare?

Leaking video games news is proprietary to our proud Nation's culture of Liberté, Egalité et Fraternité.

What sort of Bro doesn't get us news about Halo 4 for 6 months!!!

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

So, more confirmation of Halo 4 at the spring showcase, both MP and SP! From the community thread-

Singleplayer and Multiplayer shown?

Bring on Monday.

 

[LQX]

I just hope next time we see Halo 4 they don't pull the same bullshit Bungie did, which hardly anyone called them out on, which was release screens taken with the in game feature. It was not a accurate representation of how the game looked.

 

[Conor 419]

I don't know whether I'm more excited to see the single, or multiplayer.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Very excite!

 

[OverHeat]

Monday is going to be glorious!

 

[CyReN]

YES!

 

[S1kkZ]

so: they did it like almost everyone else?

 

[KageMaru]

Hmmm I would think that these tweets break NDA...

Still great news.

Everyone uses bullshots, not just Bungie.

They were "called out" on it, but they always admitted from the beginning that the screens were from the theater mode, which added a little more visual clarity. Besides, every game company does this. It just happens that Halo 3 had some of the worst aliasing of a major console game.

Who are you kidding. Fanboys like yourself were screaming about it. Halo threads are always littered with that nonsense.
