I should be on for some BF3/Halo from about 7ish, also the patch is about 1gb!
Excellent, should see you than.

Didn't know Alex Chu left Bungie in 2011.
Nor did I, but check out this section of his portfolio. Some awesome concepts I hadn't seen before, like these:
Halo 4 looks much better than Reach. In person, seeing the engine run and watching match replays, it looks like they've created a global illumination system to go with their 720p, and the level of detail on models and environments looks considerably improved.
I will back this up. I was honestly stunned at just how much better it looks in motion than Reach.
Words that left my mouth after our session: if you told me this was a next-gen Xbox game, I might believe you. It looks like a new engine for the first time since Halo 3.
I'm sure plenty of stuff in the game will be picked apart and derided as "last-gen." But it looked (and sounded - fuck, for reals, the sounds) amazing.
Is LIVE down for anyone?
Live is having problems today.
Shit. I paid for the anniversary map pack but it came up error when it tried to download. hopefully it will get sorted out soon.
lol at "I took her to my Neverland Ranch to Tee HEE."I present, MJ v Elvis.
Halo 4 looking like a next-gen game? Yeah, right.

Setting unrealistic expectations isn't a good thing. Saying a game on the 360 will look like a next-gen game is just silly.Nothing wrong with some hype.
We already knew that 3 months ago, since one of their graphic enginers, Hao Chen, tolk to gamasutra.
Why are you asumming H4 is not this month.'s GI cover?

Nope.
The interview was much centered on Bungie's ability to scale its engine for the coming plateforms, and the desire to put emphasis on openness and richness rather than in-your-face graphical prowess.
And I can't picture a PS360 release followed by a PS720 release.
From the bsangel "tweet" that Hypertrooper reported to us.
I don't even dare to visit the thread often these days. Fronkle promised a novel marketing campaign, right now it's a despicable drought...
Halo 4 marketing campaign seems on a tight leash, and although a GI cover makes sense to appetize Joe gamer, i still don't really believe 343i will give an outside firm the chance to blow open Halo 4 doors.

Gamasutra : Any word on the new project?
HC: Our project right now is at a very exciting stage. For the first time we're now shipping on multiple platforms, and then the new consoles are at least not far on the horizon. We have a brand new game, a brand new IP. But all of these things actually present a lot of challenges. We already have a very strong graphics team, but because our ambition is so much bigger, we're also looking for very talented graphics people.
[...]
What for you have been the challenges on the graphics side, going multiplatform?
HC: We re-architected our graphics engine, and the primary reason is the need to go multiplatform and get ready for the next gen.[...]An even bigger challenge is to future proof the engine so when the next generation of consoles is here, we are already pretty good at squeezing the performance out of it.
I'm quoting bsangel:
So you want to play on words ? (French expression, don't know if it's okay in english, but you know what I mean.)
So :
No as clear as a sentence on the Alex Chu folio like "next-gen title", I agree, but we all already knew they were working on a new engine for the next gen, and of course, for their next game which using this engine. =)
For the next gen, GamesIndustry wrote an interesting article about the development costs, you shloud read it : http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-04-03-next-gen-consoles-mean-increased-development-costs
The way it was worded was careful hyperbole. A masterstroke, really, because the only people taking the statement for more than it is would have had unrealistic expectations anyway.
Hell no. Please god no. /threadSo do you guys think we'll actually see MC's face in this trilogy?

I keep tabs on my favorite artistsNor did I, but check out this section of his portfolio.
Probably not, but I don't think this is that important either.
Bald, scarred space marine face would probably turn people off.
I definitely do not.
I think that it would've been Bungie's right to reveal it or not and half the fun of MC's character is the fact that I get to make him look like what I want in my mind. The other half being cod pieces.
I bet he looks a lot like Franck Ribery.
I don't think he's bald.
The books described him as red haired. And freckled

You mean Franck 'underage prostitute' Ribery? Sure.
Do you know any other Franck Riberys?
Downloading Anniversary map pack. *must drop pantaloons*

FemChief reveal incoming (yeah that's small news) :
343i is proud to have a dedicated campaign for lady gamers, and as an added bonus we are delighted to count LaRoux on board on project as she brings her face and voice to the franchise with an exlcusive level for Kinect where you dance your way through the minions of an evil and ancient dark force.
Maybe when he was young.
I'm sure he is bald/close cropped hair, just like all the spartans in Reach. After 40+ years of non-stop fighting, he probably also has some scars.
So, scarred, bald space marine.
Besides, I think they like to preserve the mystery.
He has brown hair.
I hope he has a diamond grill. That would be phat.

Lol, sorry to burst your mystery bubble but he has brown hair in Halo: CE. (In the book Halo: The Flood)

the red hair young boy is canon, the rest is up in the air. he's got augmented everything, 343i can pretty much make him green and have a ready explanation for it.
