Halo: 4

[Roger Rambo]

343 is the studio that Microsoft set up to exclusively handle and manage the Halo IP after Bungie departed. Though they don't really have a website right now. They seem to be operating out of the Halo Way point website though.


Also. Pretty sure that announcement trailer was prerendered.

...Reach had a pretty solid graphics engine, which will be used for 'Halo 4' with slight modifications and upgrades.

Where'd you hear that? Though the modifications they made to the engine going from Halo 3 to Reach were quite substantial. Particularly the facial capture.

(Now if only they had characters to use it on who didn't wear helmets 90% of the time Man, that would have looked so nice when you consistently had Johnson, Keyes and Miranda hanging around).

That's been known since post-E3. Whoever the main guy is at 343 came out and said that H4 would be running on the upgraded Reach engine or whatever it's called.

After viewing that Concept Art vid; who the hell is doing the soundtrack for this game?!

It it isn't Marty then I'm gonna have to have a sit-down, and think if I wanna get this game or not.

Aside from that, the artwork doesn't seem to show any 'Halo'-like environments, which may support the idea that MC has indeed found his way to Onxy's dyson sphere. That would tie up GoO quite nicely.

Were it so.

There's more concept art to come. There's going to be cities and all that jazz too. I guess one of the biggest things is going to be the gameplay within these environments while they're populated.

new Video from 343i

[blakstealth]

That's looking great.

[Roger Rambo]

New Mark V is pretty nice looking. Good to see that what was shown at E3 was just a tertiary model.

[Black0raz0r]

yeah just like a place holder

For anyone he's interested in Halo 4. Be sure to be on the lookout for the last terminal on the Maw.

Hey, didn't Bungie say Halo: Reach was the last one?

[blakstealth]

Yeah, their last lol.

Halo 4 is being developed by 343.

As Blakstealth said. It's the last Halo that BUNGIE will be making. Bungie hasn't technically owned the Halo IP since they were acquired by Microsoft a decade ago. Bungie seperated from Microsoft, but they didn't take Halo with them.

Microsoft is free to churn as many new Halo's out as their hearts desire.

[blakstealth]

Still waiting on my Halo tactical stealth RPG.

(6 years later) Featuring: Microsoft's latest game. One you all have been waiting forward towards after 7 expansions later. Halo 8! Featuring Master Chief slaughtering millions of more Covenant with his true identity still hidden. Will you finally find out what he looks like in this newest game?
