[360] Halo Kitty

Where'd you hear that? I have a hard time believing EB's gonna stop taking pre-orders on what's gonna be one of their largest sellers this Christmas.

Unless you mean on the Legendary and CE sets? That's a bit more plausible but still not something I've heard. They tend to let each store take a certain allotment of units and they take orders until that's tapped out.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Probably all very much aware, but I thought i'd post it anyway



Cant wait to see some gameplay at E3 fingers crossed!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You might wanna elaborate that that's an in game screenshot, supposedly. Just in case some people don't know.

Most amazing jew boots

Are you serious?!?! Holy fucking wow this game looks BLOODY GORGEOUS!

How ya doing, buddy?

I've gathered that Bungie is shooting for a 10km viewable distance in-game, eschewing a traditional 'skybox' for real atmospheric layers and particle effects. It makes one wonder....are the mountains and clouds in the background static images, or produced by the game engine?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The mountains are supposedly real geometry. Both Bungie themselves have said this, as well as the far away mountains in the Beta stage Valhalla could be reached after bugging past the invisible wall, and they were solid, so I don't think they'd be lying.

Also, just because that's in-engine, Paco, doesn't mean that's what the final game will look like in SP mode. Could be a cut scene snapshot or something similar. The final will pretty much not look like that. It's just a bullshot, but that's not entirely a bad thing.

Remember how the Gears of War commercials were entirely produced in-engine? I'm willing to bet it's the same deal here.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Of course they say otherwise.

I wouldn't doubt if this is a screen from a replay mode or a cutscene or something similar. Many games lower frame rates and increase geometry detail and texture quality for modes like that where a constantly high frame rate isn't important.

It's simply *not* going to look like that when you're actually playing. I'll eat my fucking hat if it does, because that looks about 500 times nicer than anything in ANY OTHER SCREENSHOT we've seen.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Damn.

Can they finish the lie already.

FELIPE NO

Am I the only one who doesn't think the shot wasn't that great to begin with? I wouldn't be surprised if it WAS in-game.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Who's got some ketchup? I'll need some to scarf down this hat. The Campaign trailer looked FABULOUS.

Most amazing jew boots

Ahh, it's good to see the Arbiter is still around. Definitely looking forward to his scenes with the Chief.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The new trailer looks fantastic, but I'm having trouble telling how much of that is the fanboy in me talking. Either way it made me want a 360 all the more (as I'm almost certain to by one by the time H3 comes out).

I also thought the Arms Race teaser was awesome. I want one of those replica pistols.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Why does this game look great. I swear, I have to get a 360 now for this game. But what was up with that WETA live action Halo 3 trailer?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Arms Race was ridiculously cool. I almost popped a boner when the Pelican wirred into sight.
The real trailer... I liked it. The prospect of a Scarab fight is interesting. It's a proper bossfight, not just a Brute with some magical energy shield.
But the new Cortana? Hmmm...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Dude, I'm upset at seeing so much merchandise being made for this game. They should have done this for the first game, when the story wasn't ruined yet by H2. And I am pretty sure H3 is not going to help anything narrative-wise.

It's also sad how I have to buy the overpriced Plastic Helmet Edition because that's the only version with the remastered cinemas from the first game. It's going to be an expensive season when you consider having to get the Ace Combat 6 flight stick as well.

And to be blunt, I think the E3 2007 trailer looks like doo doo. It looks like a higher-resolution H2, with proper AA, but with the same nasty textures, just a tad cleaner. If you don't agree, just look at the part when they show what's her name pointing her guns towards some Brutes. That shit was H2 all over again. The only thing that is impressive is the lighting engine, which is evident in the scene with the ATVs. Of course the only good part of the trailer was the Cortana titty-bounce. God those were some big titties. Can I please get a replica of that instead of some dumb plastic Halloween helmet.

I'm pretty sure that's not set in stone.

Are people honestly impressed with the graphics. I mean, look at this. What is this. Surely the thing in the back is not a ship.



It's H2 in 720p with a better lighting engine.

Still waiting for this:



Oh wait, the team that made the first game doesn't exist anymore.

No its not but Bungie said that they are having great difficulty with it at the moment so it seems unlikely, but if they should find away prior launch then they will implement the option, otherwise no.

Megalith Prime - lol think that was the worse scene of the whole trailer what about the other scenes that looked amazing, like the one with the roof tops on fire.

We'll see what weather systems Bungie can bring to Halo3, if they could only pull of something like the new Call of Duty

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ok, this is hilarious. Apparently, the last level is:

Spoiler:

Installation 04, the ringworld from the first game.

Destroying the mythology and franchise with H2 was not enough for Bungie. They feel compelled to ruin the series at the source.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Idon't know whether or not you're right, Megalith, but the Forerunner installation from the trailer didn't exactly look like a ringworld.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Why would that installation be forced to be the last level?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I was hoping for an epically huge battle to end the campaign. The Warthog crap at the end of the first game was just annoying and the boss fight at the end of 2 was gay as all fuck. What you want is something like Starship Troopers. MC and hundreds of marines defending a fort against a sea of Covenant attackers. That'd would be proper awesome.

Fucking rubbish. Admittedly, I was more disappointed with the fact that 2 implemented boss battles. Well... more like disappointed with its single player mode... but that was one of the more unique and exciting moments 1 had to offer. I offer the strawman argument of that bullshit end boss in Half-Life 1 as an example of what could be considered annoying.

FELIPE NO

I loved the Warthog run at the end of Halo. It was the last thing I expected to have to do at the time, and it felt pretty epic.
