Phewww...
Yes, it's CGI and yes the gameplay ain't gonna look like this. But then, why shouldn't Microsoft take a page out of Sonys book and use CGI footage to create hype in the same way that Sony have done for so long! At the end of the day, a lot of people are gonna see the trailer and think wow, that looks amazing, better get me a 360. If that happens, the trailer has served its purpose. For the rest of us, knowing the game won't look like that, I suppose it's just a nice visual treat of the Master...
Dammit, I can't get this link to work!!
Anyway, this is great news, I was starting to think gears of wear was gonna look better than halo 3.
I'm not actually that bothered about the demo, it's all well and good, but it's a long wait anyway. What I expected was to actually see something more than just a screenshot, eg/ a gameplay video. For Halo 2, we saw a gameplay video a good year before the game was out, all we've seen so far for halo 3 is a trailer made up using the in-game engine. That's all I was asking for. But anyway, my point was, I don't see a multiplayer demo coming out in spring 2007 as a "big" announcement, ...
This is the "big" news announcement?? Great one! I was expecting something a little better than having to wait five or six months just for a multiplayer beta demo, or watching some CGI in December (halo wars video was my CGI fix thanks bungie!), or having a couple of halo 2 maps again in 5 or 6 months time! I stopped playing halo 2 ages ago! And the halo 3 screenshot was rubbish IMO! It doesn't even make the game look far off Halo 2!
The E3 Trailer was fantastic, but come on ...
"some elements already exceed the trailer" - what's that phil? The sound?
Surely none of you can believe that you're going to be playing something in realtime on par with that CGI trailer. If you do, you've seriously lost the plot.
Is it anygood....anyone?
Xmas '07??? That's too far away! Hopefully that's just a "latest possible" date of release from bungie.
I agree! Silver users - pay the price or get in line.
They could have least scanned them in properly instead of just taking a photo!
Read between the lines. I don't think Cliffy B is being so complimentary.
So many great games coming, so little time and money...
What you have to remember is the gradings for next-gen games are more stringent as well. 8.9 is not a bad score at all. If you read the reviewers comments instead of just looking at the score you'll realise they liked it a lot.
IGN US gave the game 6.8 and IGN UK gave it 8.8. Wierd hey! I actually enjoyed the demo but read the reviews and that naah. Might give it a rental.
Aww man, there's another one for the list, my wife is gonna kill me...
Excellent game, once you can actually get into a match!!! The amount of time I spent waiting to connect to game was unbearable as was the number of times I’d get kicked out of a game lobby straight away, I mean whats that all about???
Great game though, hope they patch the multiplayer quick time!
Yep, dam lucky! Hopefully we'll get to see some SP/MP gameplay footage before the PS3 launch. At least that'd be something!
Man, I really hope they haven't made a mess of the control system. On the one hand Cliffy B has said they concentrated on making a smooth control system a top priority. On the other hand, people who have already played it (X06/ Match Made in Hell events) think the control system is too complicated. Perhaps they haven't had enough time with it to get to grips with it, but it makes you think...maybe they did mess it up?
I sure hope not.
I'm in the UK and I know people who do mind, inface they were gutted when they heard it was delayed!
You say "meh" to Halo 2 but how many PC FPS games have had over a billion online matches?
Personally, I think the pacing was just right. 4vs4 on Lockout, nothing beats it...
