It will be a very stupid move on your part seriously. Halo 4 is the biggest 360 exclusive this year, and we still pretty much know nothing about the game. It’s like Warner Bros wanting to talk about another movie far above and beyond The Dark Knight Rises! Just please by Monday something will actually happen since nothing at the event won’t go public until Mon.
Off topic: What are you more excited for, Halo 4 or The Dark Knight Rises? Peace!
It will be shown, but we won’t know anything until Monday.
How about you get a degree in marketing, then say this again.

Lol at telling MS how to market halo 4.
Mass effect 3 Master race.
Don’t worry, when Halo 4 marketing campaign begins you’ll never forget about the game.

Quoted for future reference.

Nobody needed a marketing degree to call out how limited the launch of the Sega Saturn was. This isn’t any different either.

i think they already achieved that with me even though we just a halo 4 trailer i cant stop thinking about it and who knows what it will be like when we do get info
343i knows what they’re doing; Marketing is going to be really awesome. As will Halo 4.
> How about you get a degree in marketing, then say this again.
Ah the classic “How about you do it” come back. If that was how the world worked then every movie critic would be a writer, director and actor. Every art critic would be an artist, every game critic would be a game developer.

You can say that with out seeing any of it?
At this point i’m not expecting anything.
Just waiting to be surprised.

Can you be a lawyer without a degree? Nope.
So how about before saying something, you should know that you have no idea what marketing plan they’re doing.
It was probably shown off today at the MS Spring Showcase behind closed doors but it’s all embargoed until GDC starts on Monday.
> How about you get a degree in marketing, then say this again.
do you have a degree in marketing?
i doubt it.
better yet, a degree in marketing is a ticket to a job where you tell companies what makes people want to buy a product…
so, the product, halo 4 a Sci-Fi FPS computer game (XBOX exclusive)
the target consumer (assuming the rating is M 17+); teenagers and adults (adults being used loosely)
target sub-groups within consumer group; competitive and casual gamers (majority casual)
is there competition for consumers within the market; yes
main competition; call of duty, battlefield, mass effect, gears of war.
guaranteed consumers; hardcore fans, collectors, people with more money than they need.
advertisement methods; TV advertisement, internet media outlets, official website, XBOX live, cinema trailers, relevant conventions (E3 as example).
factors contributing to purchases; limited exposure -> interest -> need to know more.
factors contributing to competition purchases; over or lack of exposure -> lack of interest -> now it all or don’t care.
so far we have seen 1 trailer, at 1 event over a year before the game comes out, we have heard that the trailer is not canon to the game and was made just to make it look pretty, and that certain parts (or lack of parts) are due to the unfinished state of the game…
so sweet F-A from the producers except the opinions of people who work in or around the studio (inaccurate, they are paid to up-sell).
everything else is the community getting its self so over excited that when they do release something allot of casual gamers will feel they got excited over nothing, the hardcore fans will hold hope, but when casual’s are easily swayed to the ‘in’ thing lack of hype and/or interest can ruin sales.
so, to not show anything official at the showcase would in my opinion come under ‘lack of exposure’ people will get bored waiting for information and focus on the competition like mass effect with its beta or the inevitable annual Crack on a Disk release (CoD, best acronym ever…)
If they knew they were going dark for such a long period of time, I would have preferred if they revealed halo 4 much later than they had. Unless they’re realy looking for community ideas.

Do a vast majority of videogame reviewers have degrees in every aspect of videogame design and development? No. Your argument just sucks.
