The MS press conference is now over, and I'm busy encoding the various new videos. Of course I had to start with Halo 3, capture from the stream. I guess we'll get much better quality stuff soon! Update: HD Version ! Update2: Added a few images.
You know, I was expecting the campaign footage to look better than multiplayer, but I wasn't expecting THIS. It TOTALLY blew me away. Bring it on, Killzone 2.
Too bad the rest of the conference wasn't nearly as exciting. Whoever "wins" this E3 round, it won't be Microsoft (speaking strictly of press conferences, of course, and hoping Sony's and Nintendo's won't be even more boring).
I thought it looked cool. The trailer was great in terms of gameplay footage but helluva weak in terms of music and voice over. The graphics are very nice...its the scale and action rather than the detail. Good stuff
G4 cut off about half the video on its show. kind of lame! but this game looks really fun. seen a lot of new things in this video that look like awesome-ness! cant wait!
00:38 Brutes wreak havoc in a manufacturing plant (poor construction worker gets brutalized)
00:43 MC and Arbiter side-by-side (hinting at a non-playable SP arbiter??)
00:50 Marine holding Fuel Rod Cannon (it's in!)
1:03 Miranda Keyes dual weilding a pistol and shotgun, twirling and whatnot. pointing the pistol at what appears to be a Tartarus-esque brute Chief
1:06 Ginormo canon, ala Halo 2 SP E3 trailer from a few years back
1:07 Arbiter, 343, MC, and an elite (half jaw maybe?) gathering around an agonized cortana
1:12 Left-side, a weird symbol underneath the grenades...new equiptment indicator?
1:14 MC roundhouse kicking a green brute (with a sheild) off of a brute chopper. a nice and shiny fuel rod canon on mc's back as well
1:14 MC shooting a rocket at a brute. NOTE THE 4TH GRENADE!! This was also seen in a previous Bungiedoc film. If you have the halo coffee table art book, you'll recognize it has a very similar design to a flashbang grenade that never made it into halo 1 or 2. ALSO, note the hologram of the prophet of truth on the left
1:24 MC with Sgt. johnson and a pilot in a pelican overlooking the earth. It looks like the belief that the ark was a Halo ring underneath the Earth's equator has just been proven to be true!!
1:38 MC driving 3 marines in a troop transport hog (does this mean the other hogs from the 1st EGM halo 2 feature will make it in halo 3? crossinf fingers for the snow hog!)
1:40 MC and Arbiter have a disagreement. MC promptly chokes and shoves a pistol under the arbiter's mandible.
1:42 ALERT! NEW VEHICLE! Two banshees dogfighting a hover/heli-craft over a Scarab on steroids!
1:44-45 MC fighting scarab from the ground, knocking out its legs. Arbiter on the scarab, shooting a gold brute with what appears to be a covenant turret.
2:01 MC standing over a forerunner console, pondering the fate of the universe.
TO bad MS her own conference was a bit... well Lame in my book. Sony should have no problem upstaging this. All they anounced was that Viva Pinata game, some Live Arcade games and the rest was either already known, or was postponed in launchdate (like Too Human and Fable). Too bad. MS could have had the show but now it is Sony's or Nintendo's.
Defetively looks better then the MP, thought gameplay wise it doesn't impress me enought, hopefully that change, thought they need to redo quite a bit then as the other 2 halo games was quite boring.
My BIGGEST beef with the game is the Halo 1 animations. They are literally using some of the same animations from the first one. For example, there's a part where a brute gets shot out of the sky. Should be awesome, but instead he does that retarded arm-waving thing that looks pretty horrendous. Can't stand it!
