My halo 4 trailer idea. (Feedback would be nice!)

Games Other Halo

First, it would last a good 4-5 minutes. TO make up for the lack of bloody information!

My idea starts with Chief waking up and spinning and jetpacking and defying the laws of physics by shoving a 70mm wide grenade into the 10mm barrel of the Magnum like the announcement trailer.

The screen then fades out to black, and you hear an A.I. saying ‘Unauthorized sentient craft has entered weapon range.0’

Suddenly, a few red backup lights flicker on, and you see Chief in a long corridor. He is floating down, using the slightly damaged walls to control his passage.

Chief: We still have power?

Cortana: The Dawn’s powered with nuclear energy, it should still power the ship for years. Decades even.

Suddenly, the ship jerks, and an explosion rips through the end of the corridor.

Cortana: Chief, you might want to hold on to something! We’re landing!

Chief: On what…?

Cortana: Some kind of planet. hang on!

Chief grabs onto the floor and clings on. Screen fades to black and an explosion is heard.

Screen brightens, and Chief looks up, quickly covering his face as a small spout of fire bursts from a pipe on the wall. He gets up, and notices a light. He begins walking towards it.

Cortana: Chief? Are you alright?

Chief stops walking momentarily.

Chief: I think we landed.

Chief walks to the light and comes to a gaping hole in the wall. he peers through it, and looks out into an expansive jungle.

Cortana: The air quality is nearly similar to Earth. Gravity too.

Chief moves to walk out when a large crash and a low mechanical droning noise fills the air. Chief stays frozen, and a massive forerunner… thing, like the mechs from Falling Skies peers into the wreck via the hole Chief is at. A powerful blue light scans the wreck. And the screen is washed out by the blue light, which then transforms into the words ‘Halo 4’.

Two seconds later, the same AI can be heard speaking as the screen remains black.

" Unidentified intelligence has crash-landed in zone 153-625A. Request search party."

“Wait… this architecture… This design. Could it be…? Alight the domain. They have returned to us. After 100,000 years!”

Another voice, a low, growling voice talks back.

“Awake the Promethean’s…”

The release date then flashes onto the screen, then fades out.

Thus endith my ridiculously long trailer idea! Do you like this idea?

When there is a trailer, it should be a montage. That way we dont have a definite idea how any one part of the story goes, we can get a look at other modes like FF and MP. and it can have a adrenaline rushing tone just like the Halo 3 e3 2007 trailer.

Or a vidoc. A vidoc would be nice.

It wasnt a jetpack, it was a built in thruster pack, and Im pretty sure that the “grenade gun” in the teaser wasnt the magnum.

It would be really cool if they did do an extended version of the trailer like your implying, or if they just did a ViDoc that would be just as awesome.

The intellect here… astounding!

That would be…EPIC!!!:wink:

It would be epic, but I don’t think they show a pure gameplay footage like that.

I kind of like the first bit, but this last bit, which I’ve quoted. If you was the one making the Halo 4 trailer, you wouldn’t be sticking the release date in a trailer this early, you’d do it when firstly when 343i knows when that date might be, and secondly when 343i tells you to stick the release date. There are reasons for why 343i doesn’t release a release date this early, and why most developers wait until closer to launch.

Nice idea.

But… I would prefer a ViDoc where they explain weapons, campaign, engine and a few other interesting things. Trailers for later on, ViDoc first IMO.

A ViDoc you say? I’d like this too, but you wouldn’t want to watch a twelve minute long documentary during the adverts in the cinema before watching the Hobbit. Well, I wouldn’t. :confused:

Game Vidocs are different than movie vidocs, game Vidocs do kind of act like those for movies, but video games vidocs tell use more about the game, and what it took to make it, Bungie made a few vidocs, and they was very popular, in movies, those vidocs show what goes on in the back ground, game vidocs show alpha and beta versions, test maps, stuff that you normally wouldn’t see. Movies has their bloopers, and deleted scenes, and behind the scenes, video games has much more to them than what movies has, the story changes a lot more than in movies.

How can you critise for wanting to stick the release date in now and saying to put the date in closer to release when we don’t even know the release date yet?
