Halo 3 2 Minute Trailer at E3?

[bapenguin]

IGN (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/703/703671p1.html) is reporting that Microsoft and Bungie's Halo 3 will be making an appearance at E3 in the form of a 2 Minute trailer consisting of all real time footage.

The video is allegedly two minutes long, although its contents weren't divulged. We're guessing a wild breathtaking battle on Earth. Knowing Microsoft, the publisher will want to show all real, in-game engine footage to counter Sony's fantastical CG videos from E3 2005.
I'm sure we'll see SOMETHING from Halo 3 at E3...if anything a banner that says "Halo 3: Coming soon to the XBox 360."

If there IS a 2 minute trailer, we better see it up on Marketplace in HD soon after it's unveiling!

[peeweejd]

oh snap :O

[Royal Fool]

In before the Halo 3 zealots.

[Klade]

I wonder if bungy is getting sick of only making Halo games. I remember after Halo 2 came out they were saying that there next title would NOT be halo 3. I guess that went out the window.

[CaptStu]

It would be nice to view Microsoft's presentation in real time.

[Morratut]

/squelchy sound from my pants :o

He heee I like this. Very true though ;)

Oh man I can't wait for this. I'm gagging already.

[Citizen Philip]

"Coming Soon...


As soon as we here of a PS3 Release date.

Ours will be PS3 release - 1 week."

That would be an excellent use of Live functionality, granted it can support streaming media.

[Worldcrafter]

That would be an excellent use of Live functionality, granted it can support streaming media.

Even if Live can support streaming, I doubt it could handle that many people all streaming the presentation at once. Downloading a recorded video makes more sense, and fits with Live's current technology.

[Xerxes]

Yeah bungie is probably tired of cranking out Halo's as much as the people at ubi are tired of making Tom Clancy games on the same three franchises. They'd probably be tired of unemployment to. But Ubi let's one team make something, then sends it on to a different group. Here Shanghai do this version, french part 5 is your job. West make this and so on. Bungie doesn't seem to have grown. They make one game every once in a while. You'd think with Microsoft they could get money to fund another team working on the next big thing.

[Roc Ingersol]

I remember after Halo 2 came out they were saying that there next title would NOT be halo 3. I guess that went out the window.
meh. It's just like id saying: Our next game won't be Doom/Quake. every. single. time. It just doesn't make sense for them to leave money on the table.

Though I have been wondering as of late, what if everyone's telling the truth?
Bungie's said they're not making it. Microsoft keeps saying it's being made.

Are Microsoft ballsy enough to have pushed it off to another dev group?

[JazGalaxy]

anybody else see that Halo 3 concept screenshot that was on the net? I assumed someone would post it here, but I never saw it come up...

No, Peter Moore has also said that Bungies next product is not going to be Halo. Putting out a 2 minute trailer doesn't have anything to do with the game being released, I would think. It's probably just hype to counter the PS3 E3 news the same way PS3 put out their fake Killzone movie to counter the Xbox release.

In fact, I think it would be hilarious and a fantastic turnabout for MS to put out a prerendered Halo film that smoked that Killzone movie just to get even.

[Morratut]

Are Microsoft ballsy enough to have pushed it off to another dev group?

Possible but I don't think MS are ballsy enough to pull such a move. MS wouldn't allow any other dev group to touch Halo.

[TrackZero]

Well, as for Peter's comments from that earlier story, everything from E3 that they can will be thrown up on the live marketplace.

[Mr.Green]

Come on trolls, you're late! :D

[DirtyChimp]

i thought the title said "'Halo 32 minute trailer'", and i shat my pants.

[solinari6]

Come on trolls, you're late! :D
MS should just move the dev of Halo 3 off to some of those fired developers from Acclaim. I'm sure any of them could come out with something better than that Bungie abortion, Halo 2.

happy? :D

[endrom]

"Coming Soon...


As soon as we here of a PS3 Release date.

abolsute truth, they probably will hold it back until the release date is announce, march 2007 my ass.

Not bad, not bad. Real trolls aren't that literate though. :)

[phantomhitman]

I already seen it, its quite haloeiey.

[krackmonkey]

As excited as I am for Halo 3, I'd love to see Bungie reacquire the rights to Myth and make a next-gen sequel or even a remake. There's a game that seems to be ideally suited not only to consoles, but perfect for Live or even Live Arcade.

Aaaah, to daydream. Dwarves blowing shit up, wights popping up from swamps and showering toxic pus everywhere. It would be pretty sweet, admit it.

[The Flash]

True. I've seen it too. Check it out for yourself.

Isn't that what I just said? The seemingly conflicting statements can all make perfect sense, if MS pushed Halo3 to another group. It's either that, or someone's lying.

Not immediately, no. But you can't hype up a game that won't be out for another 2+ years.

... unless you're Valve or 3d realms

Bungie have grown by a little bit, haven't they? What was that story that came out a few months ago about them essentially doubling their team? Microsoft brushed it off as a normal occurrence in the company's life cycle.

I surmised maybe they had 2 teams, one working on Halo 3 and the other doing some concept work on another project. We know they're working on Halo 2 Vista.

From their weekly updates, it seems they're working on 1 project.

[phantomhitman]

yeah, pretty much. the first half of yours is incredible though, you must have unlocked the secret first half trailer mission. :p

[Cubfan]

If Halo was PC exclusive it would have been a 19.99 budget title sitting on the shelf next to Deer Hunter 5. I would rather cut my hands off with a dull knife, and use my two remaining nubs to poke at my the keyboard keys and nudge my mouse than use a control pad for a fps. Lemme guess, the big new thing with Halo 3 will be that you can wield 3 guns at once? And will Halo 3 actually take place on earth? Or maybe Halo 2 did in fact take place entirely on earth and I didn't realize because I didn't wait long enough for the earth texture to pop in?

[Cha-Ka]

True. I've seen it too. Check it out for yourself.

I especially like the '3' in place of the '2'. Genius!

[51|RandoM]

Do we really want, much less need another Halo?

Is about time for some halo spinoffs instead. Warthog Rampage Offroad Driving Sim, Master Chief & Barbie's Glam Out, etc.

[Reanimated]

Aaaaaaaaaand cue Sony's big death scene. And CUT!

[DrHogie]

I'll believe it's real-time footage when it's playing on the unit in my house with the controller in my hand.

/said the same thing for Killzone footage
//and EA's next-gen stuff
///and anything that comes from E3 -- it's all bullshit anyway
////I like teh slashies
/////THEY CAME FROM FARK

Why you kid I was somewhat wondering about a Spartan Squad based game. Not much unlike GR:AW. They all have things they excel at like Master Cheif == Dingo Chavez. That or a hell jumper spinoff.

haha so funny. Looks like it has better graphics than the previous games in the series. Maybe even better gameplay.

[Montolio]

I can't wait to see it and I hope ( and expect ) to see it in the Marketplace @ 720p. I love this time of year! Even the hype has hype and I'm enjoying it all.

[Wolfgang]

Bungie is working on a Xbox Live Arcade game. That will probably be their "next game" and then Halo 3.

[UglyPimp]

I think it would be incredible if they really announced Pimps at Sea as a full fledged, 3d title. Or even just release the 2d one on Xbox Live Arcade, you know it would sell.

[Taco]

Could this game be the ultimate goal behind Bungie's lowering of standards with the previous two? They may have played this masterfully as an average game comes out and is cheered as "best ever".

[Montolio]

They may have played this masterfully as an average game comes out and is cheered as "best ever".You want lower standards? Go play some BF2:MC on 360 Taco. I can't wait for another multiplayer game on 360 with proper multiplayer support. GRAW was pretty good but this is just not very friendly...come on patch, if ever. EA hates us all. Wow way, way OT ;)

[Taco]

I don't see many people championing the greatness of BF2:MC though.

I was agreeing with you. You said something like "is it just me" or something like that and I said, no, then agreed with you.

[Zeal]

See yall there.

If it's on CNN, it's true. Of course, Wolf Blitzer is no where near as hot as those Fox chicks.

[mylittlepwny]

Predictions....

Halo 2 was scrapped and restarted when bungie saw Killzone 2.

The Halo 2 trailer will look very like the Killzone 2 trailer.

It would be funny if Bungie saw Killzone 2, since none of us certainly has, I mean besides the ultra-fake crap that Sony tried to pass off as actual gameplay.

[Jack B]

I absolutely dispise pre-rendered game video.

Companies might as well hire Pixar, Lucasfilms, Disney etc, to make their videos look really great.

Once they come out it's always, "hey, the gameplay actually matters and what the heck it doesn't look nearly as good or what happened to the frame rate and where are the 10,000 flying dragons I saw in the pre-rendered video????"

I'd like to see this... How about a movie company uses a video gameplay footage to show you what the movie will look like??? Why because the movie doesn't look anything like the video game of the movie.

Addionally, that's why they show filmed footage. Gee, maybe that's why game companies do that too. Everything looks great pre-rendered!

[Mason]

Possible but I don't think MS are ballsy enough to pull such a move. MS wouldn't allow any other dev group to touch Halo.
Yeah, who could possibly match Bungie for excellence in level design?

I'm really hoping that E3 doesn't turn out to be a clash of vaporware.

I just plan on enjoying the fact they're making me buy a new console to get an actual ending to the 2nd game.

Thaaaanks.

Bungie is well aware of the terrible fuckup that was Halo 2. I believe H3 will give fans the war we've all been waiting on.

I'm curious where you've gotten that information from.

[Wyrm]

I'm curious where you've gotten that information from.

Yeah, me too...

Though I liked Halo 2, it was not as advertised. In fact, if they falsely advertise another title, I might not buy it, and I'm as die hard Halo as they come.

[UglyPimp]

In response to some of the E3 Sony pre-rendered stuff, I read an article a while ago about marketing video games from EA's perspective. The Director of Advertising for EA was talking about selling 'experiences' and it was on purpose that they show little in game footage for their games. They'd rather sell you the idea of what you can do, rather than show you the actual game being played.

It's an interesting strategy, and probably really does help the sales. You have to remember, barely any companies market the hard core audience, they're mainly looking for Joe Window shopper who picks titles based on their cover art.

[Adam Blue]

THis is gonna be good. I just can't wait for a release date. And if a game is supposed to have a sequel, I don't want it to end with a resolution. That's the panzy way out.

As fun as SP Halo 2 was...who honestly bought it JUST for that? If you did and you're complaining, wake up.

[Magnanimous Gnome]

Cripes, I'm tired of hearing about Halo 3 already. I'll probably have to avoid the Internet for at least a year once they finally announce it.

Anyone else remember when we got two or three Halo 2 posts a day on the main site? That was on the slow days. ;)

If you're not interested in Halo, why post in a thread intended for it.

Regardless, I'm sure the internet will explode after Halo 3's announcement and the posing will commence, as usual.

Awwww, did little gnome boy get upset at the poo poo stinky Revolution name change. :(

Man, I can't fucking wait to see this game. Go time!

[PXG 360]

I belong to niether of these species known as "fanboys" nor "trolls". I'm tired of being so manipualted by developers! Halo 2, was in my opinion, was a well made game, that had a few slight pitfalls. Halo 3 ("Forunner", if that floats your boat), will give the series the closure that Halo 2 was lacking. Regarding this ill-fated "2 Minute Trailer"....It's....well...umm...ill-fated. I'll believe it when I see it.

Wait, how are you being manipulated by developers? They just make the game, the marketing department + producers take care of selling it to the public.

It is Zeal. I think the obvious answer is out his ass.

[easi]

Halo is the most overrated game in human history.

[motor]

It is Zeal. I think the obvious answer is out his ass.

That's what I suspect. To me the real question is: Are Zeal and Durandal-217 the same person? I'd love one of admins to check the ip addresses of their posts and find out. I think posting under multiple names should be grounds for being kicked off the board.

[Mr.Green]

Halo is the most overrated game in human history.
Feeling better now?

So, for a game, or anything, to be justifiably rated you have to approve right? It doesn't matter what millions of people and dozens of reviewers think, if you say it's crap, it's crap. Am I following you?

[Zeal]

It is Zeal. I think the obvious answer is out his ass.

In case you haven't noticed, I've had the date and location of Halo 3's unveiling in my signature for over two months. Yesterday, both were confirmed.

It didn't take Nostradamus to predict they were going to announce that at E3, Zeal.

[Zeal]

It didn't take Nostradamus to predict they were going to announce that at E3, Zeal.

Of course this was back when a majority of the Halo community believed there was no Halo 3 and that Bungie's next title was not Halo related, as Bungie so claimed.

Regardless, I don't think there's much Microsoft can do otherwise at this point. After H3 is shown, E3 belongs to them.

[Wyrm]

I'm going to make sure I'm at E3 next year, even if it kills me.

[Magnanimous Gnome]

Zeal, that is, without a doubt, the stupidest thing you have ever posted. Predicting that Halo 3 would be anounced at the E3 after the release of the xbox 360 is like predicting that you are going to post some version of "Halo rules!" in any Bungie related thread.

[Royal Fool]

See yall there.
The coming of HALO 3 is NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
