[MS-Conf] The Halo 4 E3 Campaign Reveal

It looked really good and atmospheric, but the linearity did really bother me. I hope it's not Halo 2 linear. That would be bad.
 
Looked super linear, but the new enemies were interesting. Not really a whole lot to go off of from that though.
 
Combat looked really good.
Enemies I was less impressed with, reminded me a lot of the glowy dudes from Lost Planet.
The small dog like ones in particular, looked like "shoot the glowing orange weakspot".

Here's a gif. It's pretty large (around 20 mb), but feel free to edit it or do anything with it. I'm working on some more that should be smaller and can be posted up regularly.

Wow, just....wow.

Looked and sounded incredible, cannot wait to see and hear more.

 
They should have just let 343i show the Halo 4 clip over and over for Microsoft's E3. It was pretty freaking boring. Halo 4 looks amazing though, can't wait to get my hands on it.




Edit: ^DAT SCREENSHOT
 
Love the bit when Chief gets knocked down and raises his fists up when he gets back, well, 'up'. Was hoping for some bare knuckle boxing there.
 
Did I watch the same trailer as everyone else? This was so scripted I couldn't tell anything about the game. Master Chief literally stopped walking every time he wanted to shoot things.
 
People in the conference thread hating saying it looks like Metroid Prime like that is a bad thing, love the Prime series and love Halo.

Very excited, looks great.

There are Retro dudes working on this.


I must say, surprisingly disappointed. Really bland encounter to show off Halo 4 with. Nothing really new in there or groundbreaking. Closed area, lots of scripting and linear as fuck.

Visuals and especially audio was amazing.

I swear that new enemy looked and acted just like a space pirate. Also, the hunter vision right out of Prime and the obvious HUD.
 
That's some Forerunner sign at the end isn't it? I wonder if it's a rogue ancilla or some old Forerunner itself.

Game looks fantastic and has a tough of MP as some have already posted a couple of times. Can't wait five more months for this.
 
Pretty astounded... at how impressed people were by this. I don't think it looks BAD, albeit too linear. It looks alright, might be ok. But man, some people are acting like this is game of show or something, and that I don't get.

Same. I enjoy Halo precisely because it isn't hugely linear. Making it heavily scripted with corridor level design will keep me away.

You clearly were watching a very different trailer to me.

There was a whole area off to the right that the demonstrator didn't explore right at the beginning of the gameplay demo.

Also, this is the sequence where the primary antagonists are introduced... of course it's going to be slightly more focused than the rest of the game
 
I thought we were done fighting the covenant after Halo 3. Oh well, the trailer convinced me to get the game for the campaign though I'm not liking what I'm hearing about the new online. Looking forward to more info soon.
 
The new enemies look like a cross between the dudes from Bionicle and Darth Grievous from Star Wars Revenge of the Sith.

Looks great, but completely different from how I envisioned. The HUD is intrusive and I realized just now how much I hate it that gun takes up so much space on screen. You've created a beautiful environment and I want to see as much of it as I can. The gun needs to be shifted down more often and shake when I'm running.
 
I can't wait, but I think the video chat windows on the helmet HUD are corny... I prefer the disembodied voices over comm.
 
Is that Metroid Prime in my Halo?
Graphics look good, not mindblowing (yet?). Seems pretty linear, but it seems to me that this is part of the games beginning.

How can anyone possibly not cream their collective pants at the idea of a Halo + Prime aesthetic? Greatest atmospheric FPS of all time mixed with the Greatest Shooter of all time = Nirvana.
 
Several parts of the demo reminded me of Metroid Prime, which isn't a bad thing.

I wasn't really hyped before this demo, but now it's day 1.

Seeeeeeriously. I'm only a lukewarm Metroid Prime fan, but the combining of these two aesthetics = nerdgasm.
 
Okay. I thought it would be me that got Metroid Prime vibes from that demo. Glad to see others feel the same. It looks so good now.

Maaaaybe because there are people who don´t give a fuck about Metroid Prime?
 
Looked very promising. Nice to see new enemies and new weapons. I especially love how the new guns "form" in your hands - very neat. What I didn't like was the bits that seem scripted; get to point X and then have a set piece arrange itself in front of you. What I loved from Halo was its freedom to approach a conflict as I wanted. I don't want dramatic moments to be scripted to happen in front of me at pre-ordained moments - I want to play the game.
 
wow, so that bad guy - its like an exo suit for a little person?
 
Holy Shit that was good.


A lot of people are saying they copied Metroid Prime, but it looks to me like they wanted you to feel like you are in MC's suit and not just a floating camera with a gun. And they succeeded.

I am sure Retro had simmilar goals with Samus and her suit.

Similar goals, similar results. Wouldnt call it a rip off at all.

Graphics weree excelent, atmosphere was top notch, Cortana stuff looked interesting, new enemies are decidedly alien, AI looks like it will have quite a few tricks up its sleeve, all in all I loved this trailer. Excited to see more.

Really excited to see what Halo 5 on the 720 looks like.
 
DAT HALO PRIME

Cannot fucking wait. Graphically looked amazing. It's astonishing to look at the difference between Halo 3 and Halo 4, and to know that this is on the same hardware. I like that the sense of mystery is back, and the new enemies will inject some freshness into the series.

Every Halo is always my most anticipated game the year it releases, and this is no different.
 
Looked absolutely stunning. I'm sure the linearity was just a product of this particular demo slice, and not indicative of the entire experience. In fact I'd guarantee it.

It'll take a mammoth of a demo to top that. Visually I don't think anything will.
