Gametrailers talks Halo 4

Post your thoughts below.

not really interesting

quite a bore, actually…

That truly was a useless P.O.S.

Could they mention COD anymore while talking Halo, really, that’s the best they have. I stop visiting Game Trailers ever since they were bought out.

I was paying more attention to the Bioshock Infinite segment.

Somewhat interesting with some valid points. I’ll leave it at that.

Good lord. It’s almost like EVERY Halo fan is a massive pessimist.

I enjoyed watching that. Especially when they talked about the 343 team and the reasons why they might take Halo a different direction.

Thanks, OP.

Nothing new but still a good find. thanks

New Xbox.
What happens when next gen consoles come out is you’re going to get a few decent games, but none of them will be truly next gen because nobody knows the tech.

By releasing Halo 4 end of 2012, they can release a new Xbox in 2013, and then have that 3 year development cycle to make a next gen halo 5 and release it around 2014 2015.

We’ll definitely get another Halo game shortly after Xbox 720, but it won’t be Halo 5.
Maybe a spin off like ODST, or a remake for Halo 2, or even another genre Halo game like Halo Wars.

But they will cash in on their big franchises early to get people to invest in Xbox 720.

Im glad they agree with the same line of thought that I have- Halo 4 will be more successful if it innovates in the singleplayer and coop modes but keeps the multiplayer competitive and simplistic.

Seriously, My blood was just boiling listening to that “I wonder if they are going to graph some CoD onto Halo”? Are you -Yoinking!- kidding me the games are NOTHING alike you morons that would be like saying “I wonder if they are going to graph some CS onto Quake” in the PC world.It just shows how casual and clueless gamers are these days that they have to bring up one of the most generic and overrated video game franchises in history in every conversation. How do these guys get hired when they know nothing about video games and when they are supposed to be talking about Halo they talk about another videogame franchise? I really fear for the future of videogames and gamers these days when all everyone talks about is mass-appeal and “How X game compares to Y game” instead of focusing on the quality of the games and the evolution of the genre.

That’s normal with any major gaming community. Pessimism and self entitlement are the order of the day. I wasn’t expecting anything new but the discussion was interesting to say the least.

Much gratitude OP, i always loved GT.

Because COD sells and developers want money. Even Frankie said they would be looking into COD’s game play because its addictive and it sells.

No, Frankie said that there are some things CoD does Halo could do better which could mean anything(Could mean set pieces in campaign for example or the MM system). He also shot down the idea of ironsights in Halo showing he has a good understanding of the game. Graphing gameplay mechanics from CoD into Halo would be a disaster. Even things like sprint and loadouts introduced with Reach do not fit Halo gameplay and has driven core fans away. It is a more traditional Sandbox FPS and has plenty of room for depth/improvement using the Sandbox and the core nature of the gameplay it does not need to turn to CoD when the formula was working amazingly well(Top game on XBL for most of the trilogy) until Reach changed it for the worse.
