[GarthVaderUK]

Yay! When will people start getting this issue?

 

[see5harp]

I disagree, and I even kind of liked that game. It was extremely mediocre looking at best, but like Goldmund said that's usually not the focus of a Halo game. So I wish the gaming media would cut their usual bullshit out.

Reach was extremely mediocre looking at best? Okayyyyyyyyyy.

 

[Korosenai]

I'm excited that the reveal is Halo 4, but I hate that cover art. It's no where comparable to the Halo Reach cover art game informer did.

 

[Moofers]

GI mentioned that the cover, particularly the back cover, would get people talking. i'm just not seeing it. (and am a huge halo fan)

Same here. Have been a big fan since day 1. Thing is, we all knew this was coming and we've seen video of the multiplayer. When you say shit like "my jaw is still on teh floorz!" people are expecting something amazing like the Killzone 2 reveal. Something controversial because its hard to believe its being done on the current gen hardware.

Pretty sure this doesn't fit that mold.

 

[Keikoku]

This is what the GI guy was splurging all over himself about? We've already seen footage of Halo 4. Doesn't look great.

jett

 

[shinobi602]

So all of this was over fucking Halo 4? lol

One of the biggest upcoming games in the industry? Yea pretty much.

he talked about the pics in the fucking magazine. is that so hard to understand?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I am so hyped!

We haven't seen any of the SP in action yet.

 

[MeBecomingI]

Well, that makes sense. Game Informer guys go gush blush crazy over this and it turns out to be Halo...

I expect some seriously impressive stuff.

You've seen the screenshots? Where can I find them?

 

[Striker]

New halo game ---> journalists say it looks amazing ---> game releases and looks average at best.

Let's see if this one will follow the cycle.

What game journalist or magazine doesn't hype these things? You're singling out this as if this is the only franchise who gets this type of label. Shit happens all the time.

 

[Htown]

Hey, blue girl.

How you doin?

 

[DR2K]

One of the biggest upcoming games in the industry? Yea pretty much.

Whatever gets them journalists excited.

 

[exYle]

I would've thought that the Halo haters died out from exhaustion by now

 

[TheOddOne]

ITT: people who say they are not hyped, but are actually hyped and have unreasonable expectations irregardless.

 

[AshMcCool]

 

[The Elite]

So hyped!

 

[Kibbles]

This is what the GI guy was splurging all over himself about? We've already seen footage of Halo 4. Doesn't look great.

The Campaign stuff looked fantastic.

 

[MoonLightWave]

Oh well, perhaps we can finish the fight this time? I like Halo but it should have ended at 3.

 

[Seda]

The GI guys hype every single month's cover, no matter what it may be. Never take it too seriously. As evidenced on Twitter, they love seeing GAF's pre-release and post-release reactions.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Can't wait for the mag to come out, I'm dying for more info on the game. I really should get around to reading the new novels.

 

[la flama blanca]

Upcoming games? It's peaked imo

 

[TheOddOne]

Oh well, maybe we can finish the fight this time?

You already asked this in the other thread.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

The amount of Halo hate here is... Baffling? Entertaining? Ridiculous? All of the above and more.

Can't wait too see more of it and finally get some proper campaign information.

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

Meh. How is this a reveal or jaw dropping when we've all seen plenty of shit for this already? including gameplay shots? ...

Was really hoping for something new here.

 

[Derrick01]

What game journalist or magazine doesn't hype these things? You're singling out this as if this is the only franchise who gets this type of label. Shit happens all the time.

Doesn't mean we should excuse GI from doing it, and they actually do it monthly with these BS PR/Hype threads. Most journalists in this joke of an industry are equally guilty though.

 

[jett]

The Campaign stuff looked fantastic.

We'll see, but the footage from March was pretty middling.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Oh it's just Halo, one of the most important and best franchises in gaming. Nothing to see here folks.

Spoiler

So hyped.

 

[TheOddOne]

Doesn't mean we should excuse GI from doing it, and they actually do it monthly with these BS PR/Hype threads. Most journalists in this joke of an industry are equally guilty though.

Then avoid these threads and focus on something that is positive.

 

[InaudibleWhispa]

we havnt seen anything yet

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

We've only seen some concept art, multiplayer footage and Master Chief posing, nothing more.

 

[Malo]

I'm hyped. I'll be picking up a copy of game informer soon.

 

[Hoo-doo]

There's no hate, really. People (including me) just wanted a new and exciting game reveal, instead we got a game that we already know is coming for months, and we already have gameplay footage and ViDocs of. Kind of boring.

 

[shinobi602]

Upcoming games? It's peaked imo

You can argue semantics. You know what I mean.

 

[UraMallas]

My body is ready.

 

[S1kkZ]

Yay! When will people start getting this issue?

during the next 2-3 days.

 

[freddy]

I still can't believe how lame this reveal was... Halo 4? Really?

 

[szaromir]

Reach was extremely mediocre looking at best? Okayyyyyyyyyy.

Yes, I think it's time to use that ignore button for the first time since ages.

 

[Uno Venova]

It's like people aren't allowed to be underwhelmed with a Halo cover reveal.

 

[LCfiner]

Upcoming games? It's peaked imo

"upcoming" as in "unreleased"

not "up and coming", which is what you're thinking.

 

[GraveRobberX]

So MS E3 speech already has Halo 4 lined up and ready to go

Anyone think this info is it, until E3 I mean

 

[Sn4ke_911]

...

Good i was not hyped about this GI reveal.

 

[erpg]

There's no hate, really. People (including me) just wanted a new and exciting game reveal, instead we got a game that we already know is coming for months, and we already have gameplay footage and ViDocs of. Kind of boring.

We've probably seen 50 seconds of footage. If you think that's an ample amount for a highly anticipated game, announced a year ago, then I wish I could be as easily satisfied.

 

[Derrick01]

Yes, I think it's time to use that ignore button for the first time since ages.

Well if that's all it took to get you to use it then you need some thicker skin buddy. Hope you get to see this before you find your little safe button.

 

[therealminime]

I would think so. We are not that far from E3 now.

 

[Seda]

GI covers are rarely unannounced games, and when they are, it's game like South Park.

 

[Fracas]

Meh. How is this a reveal or jaw dropping when we've all seen plenty of shit for this already? including gameplay shots? ...

Was really hoping for something new here.

Dude, we've seen literally less than a minute of gameplay (less than 10 seconds of first person footage) and a handful of screen shots. That's barely anything at all.

 

[shinobi602]

There's no hate, really. People (including me) just wanted a new and exciting game reveal, instead we got a game that we already know is coming for months, and we already have gameplay footage and ViDocs of. Kind of boring.

There's like...1 minute, if that, of actual footage if you put all the videos together.
