Microsoft launched a major marketing blitz for last year's Halo 3: ODST, but Bungie community director Brian Jarrard said to expect marketing on an even grander scale for the upcoming Halo Reach.
GF365: "Oftentimes, video games have characters who are antagonistic and really not very pleasant. Here are some of the friendliest characters in games where you might not otherwise expect to find them."
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.
narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games
Halo’s best ever campaign mode developed by Bungie has had its most annoying feature fixed after more than a decade, making the sci-fi FPS game better than ever
Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?
Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.
Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.
343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.
“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
Does it really need more hype? It's not like people don't know about Halo, this game is gonna sell wether its great or rubbish. However I can't argue that saturating the consumer in a barrage of product images does have that 'brainwash' effect and nobody does it better than microsoft, well maybe those accident at work people :P or...
WE BUY ANY HALO DOT COM, WE BUY ANY HALO DOT COM, WE BUY ANY HALO DOT COM...
ANY, ANY, ANY, ANY... WE BUY ANY HALO DOT COM.
(maybe only the British people will get that joke, not sure it aired elsewhere)
Biggest first person game of 2010 or maybe of this gen.
FACT.
bungie have been working on this game since the release of Halo 3. ODST was nothing more than fan fair to hold people over until reach.
Halo Reach WILL be the biggest first person shooter whether you like it, or not ps3 fanboys. I for one don't, but hey, it's a big franchise of fps in this game in this days so what can I do about it.
Please keep the advertisement down and let the game do all the hyping and not all the advertisement, PR, FANBOYS, etc.
Not surprising. It's a much bigger release than ODST.
And I love how people hate on marketing. You guys are ridiculous. lol. "Let the game do the talking". Such a ridiculous statement. Let's say some company that isn't MS doesn't put out commercials or marketing for their great game and that game doesn't sell as well as it should. Would they be stupid or did they do the right thing and "let the game do the talking"?
EDIT: The answer is, they'd be stupid. Just because it's Halo doesn't mean it should be destroyed when MS does a wonderful job marketing. Blame other games and companies who refuse to do all they could for great franchises. Marketing is key in anything like this.
The marketing for Halo has always been in top form and I don't think they will ever stop because they know the game will sell. Personally, I love the wonderful job Microsoft and Bungie do for their games. The T.V. spots and live-action movies are a joy to watch.
