'ala Killzone for PS3.

I would have thought that would have been a primary assault weapon in the MS arsenal.

It might have helped in curbing the hype around Killzone.

Another missed opportunity.

 

[wobedraggled]

Because Halo 2 was utter shite maybe?

 

[robertsan21]

Halo 3 to take out the buzz around killzone on ps3?

Right now MS is focusing on Gears of War and PDO which come out first. They will talk about Halo 3 near PS3 release.

 

[TeTr1C]

They should've atleast shown something about Halo 3.

Did you not see PD0? Microsoft clearly had no fucking idea what they were up against, or where incredibly naive

 

[Juice]

For all we know, they had a 4 minute trailer that portrayed the game how it would actually look. Then after hearing about the Killzone trailer, the execs decided that keeping its Halo franchise out of the "1.5" flames would be for the best.

Obligatory statement that Halo 1>2

They need something for X05

i think that was the case!
there is no way that MS did not have anything from H3 to show at E3, i think they pulled the halo 3 fotage when they saw what sony showed at the press conference.

MS did it to save face

Hahahaha. I was going to reply to his stupid post, but I thought someone else would handle it.

 

[midnightguy]

because its way too early for Halo 3. not coming out until 2007 -- even though Microsoft would like it ready for fall 2006 when PS3 launches in the U.S.

Halo is much better than Halo 2 plain and simple fact.

Don't insult Playstation fans.

 

[SantaC]

Because Halo2 came out 6 months ago dammit! They probably dont want to milk the franchise that fast.

 

[djtiesto]

I was extremely surprised to not see the strongly rumored Halo 2.5 during MS's press conference. But, I guess it kinda makes sense... MS wants to establish some all new IPs instead of relying on the Halo series like a crutch. Plus, if people see a Halo 2.5, and it doesn't look all too much improved from Halo 2, they'll question the power of the 360 and probably get it confused with Halo 3 or something, cuz you know how casuals are

I wouldn't mind seeing a remake of Halo 1+2, improving the graphics and smoothing up the level design/gameplay (imagine going through Halo 1 with dual wielding)... but not for like another year or two. And I'm hoping to god that Halo 3 isn't rushed to market just to launch up against the PS3. The Halo series has some serious potential - the levels look really nice graphically, the controls are superb, multiplayer plays great (when you can actually get to play a game mode you like ) and it has its own little mythos to draw storyline from. But I just can't get over their extremely repetitive level design, the whole blast every enemy in the room and move onto the next, occasionally getting a few vehicles to break the tedium.

That's pretty much it. They had a next-gen Halo teaser, but they pulled it because it would have looked underwhelming after the Sony conference. Maybe they'll light a fire under Bungie this time, get them to work out all of the graphical glitches before release.

Holy shit@ the speculation in this thread!

Oh yeah? Well, my friend's uncle works for Bungie and he said you guys are wrong!

He also says, "deal with it".

 

[TTP]

Because MS pretty much fucked up the whole E3/pre-launch thing. They should have just released a bunch of Halo 3 "real time" videos and stick those PD0 pics up their green asses. And show GOW to the public rather than behind closed doors.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Damn straight.

 

[thorns]

They didn't show it since they wanted the focus to be on the games that are actually coming out this year/early next year is my guess. The only thing they pulled off was probaby PDZ after all the negative feedback..

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

LOL.

Even more evidence that this dork needs to stay where he's at and never come back here. We don't need that kind of shit.

I don't think there's much chance that in 6 short months Bungie could possibly have a Halo 3 engine finished. But I'd guess that Halo 2.5 was probably up and running, but looking very much like the Xbox version with cleaner resolution. In the week before E3, when the "Xbox 1.5" hate came out, that's probably what kept it in the closet for sure. MS needed to focus on the new, fresh stuff actually built from the ground up for the console (you know, like Kameo. heh).

 

[Funky Papa]

Why no Halo 3 vids/images/hype @ E3?

E3 was intended to showcase the hardware and the main software lineup. X05 will probably be the event where they'll show the really neat things that they are keeping under wraps, and that should include Halo 3.

I don't really think we'll get to see much of it until PDZ is released BTW *cues RARE jokes*

 

[KyotoMecca]

Why no Halo 3 vids/images/hype @ E3? #1

Um, because it wasn't at E3?

This didn't stop Guerrilla to put that Killzone video together. I doubt they have *that* engine up and running already

Really, MS should have "lied" with a projection of what they believe Halo 3 will look like in order to create hype. Just as they did with that cool Halo 2 teaser...

E3 2006, Halo 3 to destroy Killzone :O

 

[TTP]

:lol Halo 3 to be called "Killzone-killer"

 

[tedtropy]

LOL.

And even there they don't buy into his pathetic trolling attempts. "Screw you guys, I'm gonna make my own board, with Gamecubes...and..and hookers!"

 

[FiRez]

I will be happy if it look like this:

and more happy if they don't screw it this time.

A Halo 3 looking like that, which I think is quite feasible, would sell 360s like there's no tomorrow.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Microsoft and Bungie will show a trailer for Halo 3 at X05, followed by a blowout at E3 2006, and a release later in the year.

Because as much as they might want to, MS/Bungie can't quite milk a franchise as quick/much as say Ubisoft, EA or Capcom yet.

 

[TheDuce22]

Halo 2 was a better single player game in every way. What did bungie "screw up".

 

[PhatSaqs]

Halo 2 was a better single player game in every way. What did bungie "screw up".

I agree. If Halo 2 came out before 1 nobody in their right mind would call Halo 1 the better game.

what? sorry but you're in the minority. Halo 2 has my respect for the MP but there's no way that Halo 2 has a better SP...no way.

 

[Lakitu]

Whenever I play Halo's SP again I get bored, and now I think I would be happy going through Halo 2's SP again, although it could have been so much more.

 

[element]

MS focus is the launch titles.

 

[Speevy]

A new iteration of the genre-leading console FPS takes time, I'm sure.
