Development of Halo 4 is complete with the game now in certification, franchise development director Frank O'Connor told an audience at this morning's Halo 4 press event taking place at the London Film Museum in Covent Garden.

"We had a big piece of news yesterday back in the office, which is that the game is literally finished at this point," said O'Connor. "They are handing it off through the various certification processes and that, and we're done.

"It's been three years of incredibly hard work by about 300 people."

With the game now in certification it's only a matter of time until the gold disc is sent to manufacturing to begin printing the millions of copies which will flood stores worldwide this holiday season.

Halo 4 will be released November 6 only on Xbox 360.

SO EXCITED

Gimme gimme gimme

 

[TheOddOne]

Looks like Halo!

Spoiler

Always wanted to do this

 

[Kenka]

Holy trilobite.

 

[Phonomezer]

My fave new screen

 

[specialguy]

This is gonna be so epic.

This is proof what I'm talking about when I say graphics is king in hardcore. Sure Halo is big either way, but it looking so damn good just ups the hype tremendously.

I like the sunny/sandy outdoor levels, they look great and should be an awesome change of pace in the game.

300 people for 3 years, that's what I'm talkin' about Microsoft,

Now that it's out of bungie and into MS's more graphics focused hands, cant even imagine what the Durango Halo will look like. I mean, even if it "only" looks 3 times this good, it's kind of hard to fathom, and that should be the bare minimum.

 

[mescalineeyes]

I am not sure if my body is ready. This looks amazing!

 

[Man]

Haven't been this hyped for a Halo franchise outing since Halo 2.

Does the Limited edition come with the standard boxart/dvd cover within?

That looks amazing.

 

[ffdgh]

Looks sublime...

 

[gaming_noob]

So many different environments. This has got to be the biggest Halo game yet.

 

[PuppetSlave]

Looks nice but I don't really see the "amazing" that other seem to see. Not in the game-play shots at least. Not a halo person though

 

[FtHTiny]

Looks stunning.

 

[Cave Johnson]

My goodness. 300 people (the best MS could buy) for 3 years. 100 million+ budget?

 

[itsgreen]

Am pretty amazed at what they were able to do. Looks stunning.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

Put it on the Marketplace so I can play now!

 

[Kenka]

Btw, no bullshots? Yes?

 

[Lusankya]

Looks exactly as shitty as the old Halo games.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Looks okay

 

[Traumnovelle]

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? 343 said there wasn't any flood, and truth be told this doesn't look like the flood. But it doesn't look like the Prometheans/Forerunners either. Looks like infected humans/spartans, but with what?

[Spiders]

Great news and great screens.

November can't come soon enough.

 

[Vic]

Sexy looking.

 

[Like the hat?]

I've only played the first halo and halo reach, and haven't finished either, but I'm tempted to buy this one anyway. Looks really good.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Btw, no bullshots? Yes?

I have played the first and third mission and I can confirm the game looks as great as you can see on the screens.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? 343 said there wasn't any flood, and truth be told this doesn't look like the flood. But it doesn't look like the Prometheans/Forerunners either. Looks like infected humans/spartans, but with what?

It is a screenshot from the new multiplayer gametype called Flood. Those are Flood-infected Spartan IVs.

 

[JaggedSac]

Meme material

 

[Diablohead]

the 360 is really doing some impressive stuff on it's final legs, god damn son (anti-analyzing ignored)

Multiplayer zombies are Flood now.

Which is awesome. But I hope they appear a bit more "Flood-y" in some circumstances.

Infected Spartans from the Flood/infection multiplayer mode.

Edit: lol.

 

[AdmiralSnackbar]

How long do I have to play to unlock this?

 

[Hypertrooper]

How long do I have to play to unlock this?

For the Mark VI helmet? I think you have to beat the game on Legendary but I am not sure.

 

[Spiders]

Finish the game on Legendary.

God damn, they've really upped the art in this one.

Honestly, it's not very far anymore, which is insane.

 

[MNC]

Metal Gear?!

 

[Hindle]

The graphics are awesome. Just think what these guys can do next gen.

 

[Hunter-Zero]

Absolutely stunning

 

[plagiarize]

the lighting...

my god, the lighting...

 

[Satchel]

This wait is literally painful.

Release now. It's close enough to the 25th of September.

If the game looks that good in action as Hypertrooper is saying, then there's a new king in town.

 

[Seance]

My penis is ready.

 

[Dictator93]

I don't even own a 360 yet can admit this game looks great for the hardware and in comparison to previous entries. Your blatant trolling is offensive man. Seriously...

 

[madmackem]

Holy fuck dem faces, biggest jump for any halo game.

 

[InvincibleAgent]

Holy fuck dem faces, biggest jump for any halo game.

Animation will make or break the faces.

 

[lastplayed]

Wow. Before I was like "yep, I'll get Halo 4..." but now I'm really pumped.

 

[Overdoziz]

Literally eh?

Uhm, it's not about the graphics...

 

[Flipyap]

The completion of development was unexpected, unfortunate. But, there is no need to rejoice. In truth, this is a time to panic. For this BS is here to stay:

...and nothing, not even the French, can stop it.
