Halo 4 Reaction

[Avalanche91]

....rabbid fanboys, multitude of games, a trilogy beyond the trilogy.......

DEAR GOD ITS STAR WARS ALL OVER AGAIN.

In all seriousness, my initial reaction was rather indiffrent. "Good for the xbox fans" I thought.
I realize that if I'm entitled to enjoy my rehashed Zelda's, Mario's and Pokeyman, that the Xbox owners are allowed to enjoy their game. IF they promise to clean up the xbox live user base a little.

I was like "yay \o/" but I'll be watching it closely I'm unsure how it will turn out with Bungie not doing them anymore.

 

[cahtush]

WHY!?
says it all

 

[sephirhys]

I realy like the look of the graphics as long as they are like that in the game
But where the hell did he get his jet pack from grrrrrrr
Besides to all u fans who say "but reach was ment to be the last one"
Slap
Reach waas the last one to be made by bungie

 

[Captain Pirate]

I'm interested, it's just the trailer really didn't do anything other than announce it.
I mean, come on, you all know the legendary ending, how else did you think Halo 4 would start?
Alright, maybe with less exploding ship, but still, I honestly didn't expect anything more than 'Chief wakes up, sees Forerunner world'.
I'm excited but.... Battlefield 3, Overstrike, and Skyrim have me distracted.

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

I'm quite excited. Reasonably excited. Well, I'm more curious than anything. Definitely curious about what you'll be fighting and what the big-glowy-thing is.

Is a man not entitled to originality and good games?

No says the man at microsoft, we sell what proves to sell,

No says Call of duty makers, war is too much fun,

No says the first person shooter genre, what's more fun than pointing and shooting?

Well I reject these realities and choose my own.

I choose the RPGs and RTSs.

It's funny because you're referencing an FPS. ¬_¬

argh its not a jetpack its just a couple of little boosters to move him in zero g. It probably wouldnt lift him in normal gravity, hence he never used them. (and lets just assume when he did jump out into space those couple of times he didnt need to use them because his aim was good)

 

[Aurora219]

I remembered how all my friends were saying how Reach would actually be the last Halo game and how I'm proving them wrong >

Cool, you work for 343?

In other news, I'm afraid to say I'm not that interested. Throughout Halo 2, 3 and then a little into Reach I've now officially lost interest in the series.

My captcha is telling me the name of the new antagonist: The Nyinand.

 

[Caveworm]

I really enjoyed the first Halo game up until the Flood appeared with their dastardly plan of cut-copying the levels to confuse me. Bastards!

Halo 2 was quite meh, Halo 3 had its moments, and ODST I thought was a nice change of pace for the series. I was hoping Reach would have a more darker atmosphere then it did. Still enjoyable but not quite the experience I was hoping for.

Halo 4 trailer does not give much away. I don't expect a huge departure from the blueprint: solid singer player, fun co-op, and a good knock about in multiplayer.

 

[Jacob Haggarty]

As an avid halo fan (not quite fan-boy, but getting there) i can honestly say i'm not too excited about this. It just feels like a massive cash in.

Also, my main thought was "where the hell did he get a jetpack from? he didnt have that before! Also, why is everything on fire? STILL!? I thought this was space?"

Pah, maybe its just because there is so little to see...

IN OTHER NEWS, i DID almost cry when the announced Halo:CE remake... it looks pretty slick.

 

[MrA]

"Oh, a brand new trilogy for the xbox! My intrest is peaked! I am intrigued."

HALO 4!!!!!11111!!!!!111

"-.- FFS."

My reaction.

 

[AVATAR_RAGE]

Honestly I am kind of excited about it, not really excited , but excited none the less. I want to see what 343 do with the franchise. So yeah they will really have to do something drastic to pull this off, and you know what I hope they do.

 

[samuraiweasel]

I enjoyed the Halo series, but i'm not a big shooter fan. I'll rent it or buy it second hand eventually. I expect at least another 4 games in the series.

This was my exact response. "Meh."

To be honest i was more excited about the Tomb Raider reboot than Halo 4.

That's not an insult by the way, the new Tomb Raider looks awesome... -_-

Another meh here but for a different reasons...own a PC only...

 

[TheDarkestDerp]

Basically "whoop-dee-doo, another Halo game". Didn't really care. I wasn't surprised to see it being made, Bungie said they wouldn't do it, but NO WAY Microsoft was going to let that one go gracefully.

 

[Elric Randall]

We got to blow up the Death Star (Halo 1) set up the end of the trilogy (Halo 2) and blow up the Death Star again (Death Star factory? Halo 3). Now, after the side stories, prequels, expanded universe, anime, and RTS spinoff, they're going for another trilogy?

Lucas.

 

[Hamster at Dawn]

I'm not at all surprised that they announced Halo 4, we knew that it would happen sooner or later. I was a little taken aback by the "new trilogy" though, makes it sound like they're really trying to milk the franchise for all it's worth. The problem is that 343 has some big shoes to fill and will get burned at the stake by rabid fanboys if they change the formula at all, but they really do need to mix things up as I've had enough of the old Halo formula. I will actually only be interested if they can do something slightly different with the game, as well as keep to the high standard set by Bungie. Otherwise I'll just stick with the existing Halo games and possibly pick up Halo Anniversary if it's not a full price retail game.

 

[Lt. Vinciti]

What was your reaction to the Halo 4 trailer that was released today in E3?

I can honestly say I squealed a bit x3.

Please no hating =3

1. I sighed in annoyance as it was going downhill by the time 3 came out (I started my hate at 2 when we decided that we needed new armor and Reach was..dull)


I would also like to reward you

-Early Morning Laugh Award- for the hilarious "Please no hating =3"

 

[DarksideFlame]

A friend of mine is a complete Halo nut so if Halo 4,5 and 6 are any good he'll buy them, but personally I am more interested in the Tomb Raider reboot as it for me seems to have potential for greatness and rise the series back to it's former glory

I also think that people here are a bit to quick to dismiss the new Halo games just because it's Halo, and even Yahtzee has said that "it's never to late for a series to stop being shit" using RE4 as example

Oh yeah, if more people want to post saying that this is another quick cash-grab, don't bother with it I mean it is obvious since it's Microsoft we're talking about, still the new games can be good even though it is a cash-grab though there are few examples of games that are like it

Disclaimer: I'm not a rabid Halo-fanboy for the twats who think I am having written this post

 

[Scorekeeper]

Disinterested. It's another Halo, after all.

 

[sleekie]

Eh.

Not really informative, plus I enjoy each iteration less than the previous one.
