Halo 4 - November 6, 2012.

Will 343 be exclusively working on Halo(s)? Or will they be producing other games for the new console as well?

343 is Halo only as far as they said. And Saber Interactive did the engine for Halo Anniversary so there's nothing stopping other people from making Halo games too. But 343 publishes it.
 
I think he means "is 343 going to work on anything other than Halo", not if other companies will work on Halo.

As far as we know, 343i is 100% Halo.
 
I think we can safely assume that each game in the reclaimer trilogy will have a development time of 3 years. But who knows maybe we’ll get Halo 2 HD and Halo Wars 2 along the way.

I was fully anticipating a Halo 2 Anniversary edition after Halo 4, probably complete with the same sort of Halo 4 map pack deal. But it seems to me now that dual wielding will be a bit of an issue; Halo 2 would be more difficult to shoehorn into a Halo 4 mappack/gametype than Halo 1 was for Reach.

Naa, the only reason they did Anniversary that way is because they didn't want or have the time to redo the online to work with xbox live. So they used Reach for MP. Halo2 already works on live. All they have to do is update the visuals.

Still comes down to not wanting to pull players off of Halo 4 and split the userbase, right?
 
I wish a Halo 2 anniversary edition came out before H4. :(

That way I could have myself a Halo marathon: Halo Wars->Reach->Halo CE: Anniversary->Halo 2 Anniversary->ODST->Halo 3->Halo 4

Once again, I want to say I hope Halo 4 has a kick ass marketing team, they are going to need it to really take advantage of when they are launching. Also, they should really try to capture the changes in gameplay/mp via some of their marketing.

Anyways, a few pics:

The character models look nice and detailed, but Im not to fond of the design. My biggest complaint is that the color of them makes them look like big action figures rather than spartans, I hope they can work with the texture a bit to make it a little less 'toy-like' while keeping most of the colors sharp.

I do wish they showed off the game from more interesting angles, judging by earlier videos and screens these rvb vids didn't do the game justice. Then again, Frankie mentioned it may have been due to that graphical bug.

This picture seemed to go out with the PR about the release date, but I can't seem to find it in a bigger size anywhere.
 
It just looks like the arms are messed up. You can see where the mesh is colored instead of black like the rest of the suit. Hopefully not intentional or final.

Save the date has that. The mesh is black. Must have been a lighting glitch or something in the firsti vid.

Yup, it really bugs me, it throws off the look and leads to it looking like an action figure.

Cool, thanks!

Man, just keeping the undersuit black makes a big difference, I hope the colored undersuits in MP are temporary or a glitch.
 
I'm extremely excited to see what 343i will bring to Halo. You can't put together a team of super saiyans and not get a good game out of it.
 
BR in that clip sounds weak, almost silenced. All these shooter devs just need to outsource weapon sounds to DICE.

Yeah, yeah, it's early, but let's be honest....It ain't changing
 
Um, isn't that close to Election Day? Bad news for anyone courting the Youth Vote.

Shit. That's really irresponsible.

people that would skip voting to play halo, you don't really want those manchildren to vote anyway.

That's not the final sound effect.
 
Holy fucking shit, the game looks so damn good. First time I've been so impressed with Halo visuals.
