Meh, completly CG, nothing great. Amazing to see the hype machine cranking so early though.

super_furry

Meh. It's just pre-rendered nonsense. Don't get me wrong I love Halo and think Halo 2 is the best multi-player FPS of the last five years, but you might as well be watching Toy Story for all the relevance it will have to the game. I just can't be bothered with pre-rendered stuff like that. Now if they had shown something similar to the brilliant Gears of War advert, that would be different.

Limerick Dude

I think everyone is looking forward to this game, i dont think anyone can deny halo and halo 2 being amazing games, be it for their single player or multiplayer modes.
Now halo3 will be an improvment plus with a next gen engine....its going to be some game.

There hasnt been any video of this game since e3 so sorry for getting so excited!

Ciaran500

Anyone else think its MC and someone else lying in the grass at the start? The repetition of the girls voice when it switchs to MC putting his helmet on kinda hints to it.

Limerick Dude

Yeah im pretty interested about the backround to master chief, hopefully we will learn more!

JM MARCONI

Download it off the Marketplace if you can. It looks sweet in HD, that is if you have a HDTV

robnubis

wow they hired some Digital Effects company to make a promo spot for them, and it sucks...gameplay plzthx and fo.

god's toy

Looks so much better in HD! oh I wish we could get our hands on a demo.

GrumPy

So what if it's CG, The first game engine trailer when master cheif was looking out over the big thing opening up was still an amzing video.

Graphically the game will be excellent at the end of the day. Hopefully Single player is alot beefier.

evad_lhorg

I would like to see a double disc game myself. we know the multiplayer aspect is goin to be huge so more than likely that would put limitations on the size of the 1 player due to disc capacity.

GrumPy

If they can fit oblivion on a dvd, they can fit an fps with multiplayer maps to boot

Plus, a lot of the maps will be released through Xbox Live again as well, freeing up more space on the disc.

Lads. This is gonna be the 360's biggest title yet. Of course they're gonna hype it up.
It's not out for a months, so they're giving us an extra sneak peak of it.
I'm sure that we'll get a few game-play previews before launch.

Look at what Rockstar just did for Vice City Stories on the PSP. They must have released over half a dozen previews! What's your problem with Halo trying to heighten the suspense?

No problem, but basic, 60second CG movies don't heighten my suspense very much.

KoKane

CG?
You are in for a pleasant suprise

Halo 3 is probably one of the few games in existence that deserves all the hype it gets.
It's an FPS classic.

Like Doom, Goldeneye, Halflife, Halo.

Eh..... the trailer is completely CGI... no in-game at all.

The original trailer was made using the game engine, though, and that was impressive.

The ad IS CG, and your classic comment is opinion.

Oh, the television ad, yeah thats CG. Was sure you were referring to the other two trailers.

That is the most ridiculous thing I have read here in quite a while. Halo 3, a game that won't even be released for months, is a classic... brilliant.

And yes.
The game that hasnt been released yet, will be a classic FPS title.
You may take it with however many grains of salt you wish.

Oh, did I miss out on the "How to be a psychic" thread?

omalleyTown

I dont think its a coincidence that this ad came out in the middle of PS3 and Wii crazyness either.
I think microsoft is trying to make picking up a 360 a little easier by getting people excited about whats coming down the line, expecially if you cant actually pick up a PS3 or a Wii

And everyone does understand Halo 3 is a RTs game yes? or so im reading....

Got a link? Can't seem to find em. All I can see is the "Fanboyism for dummies" thread.

Also, I have still not found a claim stupider than "game that hasn't been released yet is a classic". Let me know if you have one.

:cool:


Fanboyism opposed to.... anti-fanboyism? Which in itself is just another form of fanboyism... an 'anti-bandwagon' patrol lol


But no, I'm not a Halo series fanboy and it certainly doesn't take one to realise that a new Halo game on a "next gen" console will be a 'must-buy' for everyone whether they have played the original titles or not.
Aswell as finishing off a great story that started with the previous two, its going to look nine times better while including more features and a multiplayer element aswell. If the multiplayer element isn't improved then it will at least be a better looking version the allready successful Halo2 multiplayer scene, only it will have new features such as weapons and vehicles.

Anti-fanboyism is a form of fanboyism? I'd love to hear how you worked that out.

quad_red

Calm down will ya?

The guy is a giddy HALO fanboy. The trailer is exciting in that it *probably* gives a hint at some new gameplay elements (shield etc.) but mainly because it advances the HALO storyline. Lots of people read the books etc.

And given Bungie's record thus far, I'd say they'll do a good job here as well.

We all know it isn't gameplay. We all know it's prerendered glossyness is NOT how the game will look.

The withering put downs aren't really in the spirit of this place!

The type of person who will always go against a majority no matter what, probably for the attention.... probably for arguements or probably just being pure stubbern.
Quite frankly, who cares?

It's simple.
You put me in a category named 'fanboys' based on your assumption that I am a Halo 'nut' of some sort, when infact, I'm quite the opposite.
So I put you in a category of 'anti-fanboys' and for all I know, you could be quite the opposite.


When a game becomes a must-buy title as part of a series, in which the previous two were a complete success and the game itself is the final part in the trilogy of the story, then it becomes a classic. Especially after sells millions of copies.
And we all know that this game needs no hype and that hype is probably the last thing on Bungies mind.

That add for television was CGI, but the other clips werent, like the first one that was shown in E3.

Now surely quad_red is going to be classed a fanboy? I didn't even know there was or is a book on the Halo story?

But yes quad, like you said, it's going to be hard for Bungie to really mess things up. Even a remake of Halo 1 or 2 in the new graphics engine would sell millions.
And as you've proved, it doesnt take a fanboy to notice probability of immense success.

THIS trailer : http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3937531179682654818&q=halo+3
is the first one released at E3. This one is how the graphics look in game.


How do I know that?
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7608580027198684394&q=halo+3
They made this themselves to confirm it for everyone, that clip was in game graphics.


The one on the TV was probably CGI. I'm pretty sure it is.

Eh? So the majority of people think Halo 3 is a classic? That's news to me. Who would have thought that, deep down, all fanboys and anti-fanboys are just revolutionaries looking for attention.

Basically you are saying that I am an anti-fanboy for saying a fanboy (you) was talking crap. I accept that, I guess that does make me an anti-fanboy... oh well.

Wait so you were being sarcastic the first time you said it is a classic but now you are saying it is a classic again? Make up your mind.

For the record though (and I can't believe this needs to be said) the game will only be a classic if it's good. While it is pretty much guaranteed Halo 3 will sell bucketloads, that in itself will not make it a classic. The game could turn out to be utter ****e for all we know.

By your logic any of the EA rubbish that gets thrown out every year and reaches the top of the charts would be dubbed classics while genuine classics that didn't sell too well would be left out...

KoKane wrote:

All the books have been in the top sellers lists when they were released. The first video game to experience that movie level case of 'it doesn't matter how they read, they're going to sell anyway' I think.

KoKane wrote:

We're all well aware it's prerendered! It's not gameplay! The only ingame footage is from the E3 trailer (and bungie went to great lengths at the time to prove that it was the engine). It only gives a hint of the game ie. some gameplay elements (the shield, the new jeep jobby) and it uses models from the game.

This all seems like a pretty petty argument.

The Halo luvvies are convinced that HALO3 is already the answer to all their dreams and will rule the games world. Is this based on playing the actual game? No, of course not. They're well aware it's not gameplay footage. And of course it's illogical to proclaim a game supreme based on nothing but seeing a bloody ad. They're satisfied by Bungie's claims that the models are accurate and that some new gameplay innovations are hinted at in the trailer. Their supreme confidence is based on their experiences in the previous two games and an implicit (if not stated) trust in the abilities and professionalism of Bungie thus far.

On the other side are those who are irritated (presumably) by the engineered nature of the ad (ie. a strategic move by MS against Nintendo & Sony) and the whole marketing funfare that is HALO. However, most admit that Bungie's record for great games thus far would imbue one with a realistic sense of confidence in the fidelity and quality of their next work. As Kokane put it, it doesn't take a fanboy to predict a high probability of immense success. I would suggest, that it doesn't take a fanboy to estimate a high probability that given Bungie's record thus far, they'll produce another quality, fun and polished game.

mcgarnicle wrote:

I don't think it's fair to compare EA (a bloated publishing house that specialises in churning out iteration after iteration of the same franchises and movie tie in's) and a games studio that has an extremely good record for producing high quality, exciting games.

No one is realistically saying that monetary success will make HALO3 a classic for gods sake. It's a bit of excited hyperbole. If it irritates you that much why come onto a thread about Halo3 in the first place?

Yes, and when a game is exceptionally good, it becomes a ? A "must-buy".

While it is pretty much guaranteed Halo 3 will sell bucketloads, that in itself will not make it a classic.

Ofcourse it won't. That's why I said "Especially after it sells millions of copies", after my initial reasons... such as the game being good

By your logic any of the EA rubbish....

See above.

Nothing selective about it, your pretty weak definition of "anti-fanboy" is where it came from. You said that I was being an "anti-fanboy" by going against the majority. The clear implication being that the majority agree with your claim that Halo 3 is a classic. You follow?

Not that clear actually, especially since, going by your above question, you have already forgot your own definition.

No you said when it was a must buy because it was the follow up to two successful games and then sold millions it becomes a classic. That is utter bolox.
