Hey Optimus, come in here and talk about Halo 4 with me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UA1WMhojTkc&feature...
Haha, too good.


But, yea, folks, I wouldn't worry. Traditional Halo gameplay isn't going anywhere. 343 just wanted to, through the use of a scripted section of game mixed with quick cinematics, give us a taste of the new enemy in Halo 4, and it looked badass. The way that AI counterpart that was backing up the forerunner blocked and levitated the grenade and tossed it back at the chief, and the crazy stuff the forerunner showed, like the teleportation, the awesome shield, the cool looking sword. Appropriately makes the Covenant look like insects by comparison, and that probably wasn't even a promeathean class warrior servant, or maybe it was, who knows.

This game looks absolutely stunning, the visuals are just insane! The combat looks tight and ultra responsive as you would expect from a Halo game.

I'm genuinely shocked by how good it looks, almost looks next gen :D

God, this game looks good. Also, looking at that footage more, there's no way that's a forerunner he's fighting. That was forerunner technology, but it wasn't an actual forerunner. That is, I believe, a forerunner war sphinx that the chief was fighting!

Just mere lower ranking forerunner tools of war. There was a number of them protecting the Didact when he was first round in Halo : Cryptum.

New screens. So good :D

I loved watching the behavior of the Elites and Grunts. The elite just knocked down one of the grunts. Fantastic stuff there :)

That might have been in previous Halo games, not sure, but it has never looked so good :)

I loved seeing Cortana flip out like she did. That was epic. So, the Chief and a group of Spartan 4s will be taking on the Forerunners? I like the idea of that, even if it's temporary.

This is what next gen Halo should be. Series is in good hands. This game looks like the books sound :)

Alright, a breakdown of everything in the 10 minute demo at the start of press conference.

-- Incredible presentation. The visual effects and sense of speed when that gigantic orb sped off was impressive. Everything about the orb at close range was amazing.

-- There's a cool little mini vid screen that shows up to show Cortana at specfic times when she speaks to you, as well as other allies that are trying to communicate with the Chief.

-- The Sound is significantly better than past Halos. Did you guys hear the sounds of those guns being fired, the more classic Halo weapons? Did you guys hear the sound of the chief as he was moving in his armor? The sound when he dropped down from a higher location? That's just fantastic.

-- It's definitely more impressively sci-fi. The animation and movements of those weird creatures that came before the Forerunner Promethean Knights (frankie said what they are on SpikeTV) showed up and attacked the Chief was most impressive. It gives the game a cinematic sci-fi atmosphere unlike any Halo game before it.

I have to stress this again, though. The sound design is so incredible in this game, guys. The sound when the chief moves, the weapons firing, everything.

The sound is even more amazing in the direct feed hd uploaded vids on youtube, the b roll footage.

Also, I think the Chief is captured and taken to Master Builder Faber. I think it was his voice that we heard calling, likely the Chief, the Reclaimer.
