I would have actually really liked to see his take on the Hobbit.

Was that being discussed? Shit, could've been amazing. Peter Jackson's take on the universe feels pretty stale to me now. Or, it's really more like I know what to expect. Wow factor is gone.

If anyone still plays this wonderful game- I'm playing now, join me!

I'm not on tonight, but add me for the future. GT = kittens revolt.

PS: GUYS, IT'S A BABY MONKEY GETTING A BATH.

Perfection can't be stale.

Guillermo Del Toro has had 2/3 years of permanent fucking around.
I hope his Monsters vs Robots "Pacific Rim" movie will help him finally get somewhere.

As for movie director, it's Neill Blomkamp or bust.
A short introduction following how the Chief gets into the Pillar/Credits/Meeting Cortana/Non-fucking stop action until Halo explodes like a parkour movie with guns and aliens in a mysterious space station.

A good, first, Halo movie has to show how beyond human skills the Chief's are.

Dat truth

 

[Alienups]

I'd prefer an HBO mini-series myself tbh. 12 Eps of GoT/BoB like quality set in the Halo universe.

Bring it.

Hard to tell what entertainment will be like in 10 years.

Halo already is a succesful toys, books, games franchise. I wonder how good the comics are doing, as I rebought them on comixology yesterday.

 

[wwm0nkey]

One day we will see a Halo movie or HBO series...one day.

(I would prefer a Halo series rather than a movie actually)

 

[Calm Killer]

So um...... where is the start or back button?

It is the PS3 version of the controller...

Pleaso God no. Don't listen to this man! Seriously? Let the Chief be in the games only. The Haloverse is too big to just tell the story of the Chief.

found em!

 

[Calm Killer]

It is one controller that you can switch to a PS or XBOX layout. At least that is my understanding. The analog and D pad can be moved to any layout you would like.

edit: Yup. http://store.gameshark.com/viewItem.asp?idProduct=5269&idCategory=413 go there and check out the second picture. Shows how it comes apart.

found em!

Ah nice. Hard to see in the picture.

 

[Myyke]

It is the PS3 version of the controller...

I'd be very interested in getting one of these if I ever get a PS3 again, I much prefer the Xbox-style analogue layout. I did have a Power A Pro Elite Xbox-style controller when I had my PS3 but the dead zone around the sticks was huuuuuuge.

I've been quite interested in getting the Onza for the 360, purely so I can remap weapon zoom to the additional left bumper button - so many times in heated encounters I accidentally mash the zoom button on the thumbstick!

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Guillermo Del Toro.

I love this guy, but his ideas for the halo movie or rather MC, never appealed to me. Go watch Hellboy 2 with the commentary, I think he starts talking about the halo movie around the 30-40 minute mark.

Also from my post on HBO a while back:

Del Torro talked about ways to get MC to talk and how to portray that he was talking to the audience by introducing a flap on his helmet where his mouth would be.

He talks about other things related to the movie briefly in that segment I mentioned above.

Post snipped

What. The. Fuck.

Get back in your hole.

 

[Myyke]

I think he just watched too much Robocop.

DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!

Get back in your hole.

But my opinions are so much better than your opinions!

At the top next to the PS button. That specific controller only works on PS3.

You'd love a John Woo Halo movie ;-)
Slow motionning between an Elite's legs pumping rounds in his head. hummmm...sweet flying birds violence.

The Chief needs to be front and center! don't ever forget what Hollywood did with Optimus Prime, he would have been better off playing a whore in a north korean comedy.

 

[HiredN00bs]

Can't really say I'm surprised, they stopped caring about the Reach on September 14th, 2010.

Yeah, those regular, large, detailed playlist updates and dialog on Optimatch were figments of our imagination. So was the Noble Map Pack. And the website that's still in operation to this day. What a dream!

 

[HiredN00bs]

All i have to say is.. Take Prisoner.. Ever why the rockets, snipers were on a high platform? Oh yeah that is right, so people would move fight tooth and nail to get to them, but now thanks to jet packs you can have almost instant acces to sniper by picking Jet-pack as ur load out.

Aka.. Fuck Jet-Packs and all other AA's.
Like Rameriz said if Halo turns to even more aa and equipment integration, im done with this franchise. For the rest if you who enjoy these lame mechanics... more power to you.

The Anniversary maps are pretty lame with Armor Abilities, but you can't convince me that maps like Powerhouse and Boardwalk and Swordbase aren't fun with them. I know this because I've had fun playing them.

The problem isn't broken gameplay. The problem is sticks in butts.

 

[squidhands]

The Halo movie needs to be made soon before Nathan Fillion becomes too old to play Buck.

...and a slimmed down Bunk Moreland to play Johnson.

 

[DcLevartho]

One day we will see a Halo movie or HBO series...one day.

(I would prefer a Halo series rather than a movie actually)

So you would be happy with Tom Hanks handling that one? ( Do I even need to say Band of Brothers or The Pacific) and he recently picked up Neil Gaiman's American Gods to do as a series

You know, sometimes Waypoint really annoys me, and this is one of those instances. The link you provided doesn't get me to the article you want me to see, it brings me to the blog and I can't tell what I'm suppose to be looking at. :/

Anyway, it's non-news. No release date of information.

McFarlane < Play Arts

He's got a ton of products coming if Halo 4 has

Spoiler

Spartans II-IV, Forerunners, Covenants, new race(s), Flood as well as new and recurring mainstay characters ; as well as new weapons and vehicles

which is the kind of surprises such a guy could be pimping without getting killed by Frankie.

I want a new MP mode, something other devs wished they had invented which helps make Halo MP relevant again to the masses.

No? They confirmed Forge for Halo 4 already, the connection between books <--> story, talked about some gameplay stuff. So yeah nothing yet?

Stupid waypoint why can't it properly load on my cellphone when linked to, just takes me to an endless windows live login loop and eventually gives me an error.

I love Todd's wording in the quote.

343 still has some surprises to reveal. This implies that they've released a majority, or near majority, of all that they're going to show. :/

That's shit Hyper. We've got a teaser and concept art. Talking about features for CEA and saying they will link to Halo 4 isn't revealing anything. Tell me where they talked about gameplay. They said it will play like Halo and still have some new stuff. Every video game sequel has that.

he's just full of himself after basking in some halo 4 glory. And it's been said from the beginning Halo 4 is basically Halo.

lol. The teaser showed us a new weapon, teased some new feature that Master Chief will have. So they revealed some stuff.

Less than Halo 3 at this point. Opening up an old wound, but we got more in the Halo 3 announcement trailer than what we've gotten about Halo 4 in two trailers.

Plus, we got a BTS video with the Halo 3 announcement trailer.

I always have that problem with Waypoint, no matter what browser I use. If I try to follow a link to a forum post, the site tells me I'm not authorized to view it. Close the tab, click the link again, it goes right to the post. wtf

The site seems insanely bloated, too; it always takes longer than any other site to load. Boo. Praise Jeebus that Wu hosts a lighter version of Waypoint's updates.

Yup. This is starting to get ridiculous. The longer they take to release anything the more deflated my excitement. Granted, that'll probably disappear once information is released, but still.

I wouldn't mind seeing some genuine gameplay revealed, but I have to say Cryptum and Primordium have been doing a considerably good job in getting me hyped up for Halo 4!

I wouldn't mind seeing some genuine gameplay revealed, but I have to say Cryptum and Primordium have been doing a considerably good job in getting me hyped up for Halo 4!

I'm pretty sure the target userbase for Halo 4 is not the same person who would read Cryptum or Primordium.

Good books in their own right, but mostly fan service IMO.

Edit: ^^^ 66 fucks, jeez.

 

[Hypertrooper]

FUCK

Yep. That's reason why I don't desparately need Halo 4 gameplay etc. But I can understand why the most people are freaking out.

 

[Merguson]

Clearly Halo 4 is on the next-generation version of the Xbox and will be released at launch. Michael Bay's Halo will be showing at theaters 7 days before the launch date. It is said to contain more explosions than the transformer movies combined so according to the explosion/money charts, will make like 3 billion. Suck it james cameron.
