It's a shame the ads don't fully compliment all the time and passion that has likely gone into the creation of the diorama. Most people viewing the ads will pass it off as CG or something.

It's quite the work of art. It'd be cool to see it for real.

 

[StUnNeR H2K]

Kotaku has pictures of the diorama up

Its fucking insane. You don't understand "Its bigger than some apartments" until you see this

Holy smokes... thats huge.

Yeah, it would be cool to see. I hope it comes somewhere near me when it does its tour around the country.

Viewers get a sneak peek at "Diorama" on http://games.yahoo.com Friday Sept. 14 at 9 a.m. PST / 12 p.m. EST, as well as a feature on the making of the diorama, entitled, "Ammo".

At the least, we'll get to see a making-of video to see how it was done. The diorama really is amazing, even if I don't like the ad itself.

Can I hear your honest opinion of the ads?

 

[TemplaerDude]

jesus that is a miniature model lovers dream.

 

[Domino Theory]

Hmm, is it too late to say Ghaleon is a god among men ? Sorry I've been banned for a while so I never had the chance to post in said legendary thread, but I do! I've been reading the thread everyday so I'm caught up on everything.

All I ask is that we get another ViDoc featuring Forge.

 

[duderon]

That diorama is so awesome. A movie has to be made just panning over the whole thing.

[Stinkles]

Please tell me Gertsmann isn't reviewing Halo 3..

I can tell you nothing!

 

[Stinkles]

Check his post history.

Yeah, GhaleonEB is a fake character. Or more likely, a bitter troll. Halo sucks, Halo 2 had no ending, Arbiter is lame, etc.


All the livelong day.

9.0 confirmed.

Teaser ad: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7798120&postcount=215
Final ad: First here, then here and finally again here. I'd just read the first of those, as your IQ will drop with each successive post.

Short version: I don't like them.

Why is the Chief all smooth and shiny, but Marcus Fenix is all big and chunky? Can't your engine do chunky stuff?

 

[Stinkles]

While I like the ads, I think I'm still craving for a wellcrafted in-game trailer. Or maybe it's better to not have more revealed than already is, since it's getting pretty close to release. I don't know

Game is out in less than a fortnight. Just enjoy it all fresh. At 1080p. In surround sound. With a can of GAME FUEL. In the back of your PONTIAC.


Who wants to play through in co-op with me?

 

[RPS37]

If Gertsmann is on the Halo 3 review he'll probably give the game an 8 given his past track record with these big games. Unless maybe MS bribes him with a pork sandwich.

I don't care what the game scores.

He gave Gears of War a 9.6, so if he is on the Halo 3 review I wouldn't be too worried about his score.

 

[ALeperMessiah]

Everyone. Me included...

 

[ALeperMessiah]

He gave Gears of War a 9.6, so if he is on the Halo 3 review I wouldn't be too worried about his score.

But he gave Bioshock a 9.0, docking the game points because his 360 was on the fritz.

He is not to be trusted...

I imagine playing Co-op with me would be like an old grizzled Carney watching a 6 year old ride a roller coaster for the first time. Lots of screaming and peeing.

That is i'll take a number and go to the back of the line as there will be like a thousand responses to your question :lol

Don't know if this is posted already, but in NASCAR, the #40 car is going to run a Halo 3 paintjob at Dover... as the #16 car runs its Wii paintscheme.

First thing I'm doing is playing through Co-Op on Heroic with my roommate.

That last commercial is tough.

Is this scene actually going to be in the game? It seems like this "arming of the grenade" is important enough for a retired marine to remember several years later in the first ad, and now we have a scene depicting a knocked out chief, who comes to in the clutches of a brute chieftan, and arms a plasma? grenade.

SHOTGUN!

 

[TemplaerDude]

just for record i don't want to play through the campaign with stinkles, but only because i have an adverse reaction to playing video games with bald people and usually end up team killing them.

sorry. i'm sure you were looking forward to it.

No

Stinkles said the makers of the ads didn't know enough to spoil the ending, but could that mean they possibly know enough to reconstruct a major battle?

My mom said I can't play on Xbox Live with strangers.

Now that would be something to tell the grandkids while rocking in your chair---"I played Halo 3 4 player co-op with the man himself"

Everyone indeed.

 

[Stahsky]

Quoted for obvious awesome.


I'm pretty sure everyone would love to chill with Frankie for at least one game in Halo 3

 

[Scarecrow]

I didn't like the first ad much, but this second one is slowly winning me over to the diaroma scheme. I still don't think the general public is going to take the campaign seriously.

Shack: What's next for Bungie?

Frank O'Connor: Very specifically, we're working on downloadable content for Halo 3. It'll be multiplayer stuff

Sweet, new maps maybe?

It's good to hear that work has started on new maps. When do you reckon they'll release? Easter?

 

[giga]

A week after Sep 25.

 

[Karg]

Well from release of Halo 2 to the first new maps being made available, how long was that?

::EDIT:: Nevermind, they came out July 5, 2005.

 

[Domino Theory]

Most likely, but it's alittle early talking about DLC considering, well, the game isn't even out yet. Let's worry about the last remaining maps in the retail version.

I do, after I've gone through single player on Heroic.

While I cataclysmically disagree with you about the ads. (I find them really inspiring and it helps make it more real for me.... while pushing video games as a medium to take serious) I do really respect your opinion and I can follow you lodgic.

If we went on that it would be around May.

I was moved by the first one. It's very, very well done. The second one, not so much. I thought the Gears of War ad pushed things quite a bit, and while you could argue that the Halo 3 ads are continuing in that direction. It's just not a direction I'm keen on.

But I'm over the ads. I'm just counting the days until the 25th.
