we don't want to spoil too much

it will be like...BOOOOOOM

then WTF i want more

i love teasing

EDIT: it will be in-game trailer mix with gameplay

THE MAX SPEED 215255d ago (Edited 5255d ago )

>:(

I dont want Opening Cinematics!!! I just want to see Gameplay. I hope they're making fun of us and @ the awards show they'll show something crazy with Gameplay And have everybody go Crazy.

Madusha5255d ago (Edited 5255d ago )

Agreed, I was hoping for like 10 minutes of gameplay. :'(

EDIT: I've been waiting a long time for this, 2 minutes isn't long enough. It's gonna be an opening cinematic.

Mista T5255d ago (Edited 5255d ago )

the trailer will most likely be all CGI, or just a short teaser

too early to do any big trailers

Edit: will be 2 and a half minutes long, wow what could they possibility show from the game?

Serjikal_Strike5255d ago

no actual gameplay will be shown or seen

SixZeroFour5255d ago

opening cinematic? i thought it wasnt going to be cgi?

gaffyh5255d ago (Edited 5255d ago )

2 and half minutes doesn't seem short at all, it seems like a normal length (if a little too long) for a trailer. I know MGS trailers are usually long, but that's Kojima, this is Bungie. The least I'm hoping for is some actual in-game video, and not the CGI stuff they showed last time or the live-action stuff for ODST (although that was a pretty damn good trailer).

edit - I noticed I got immediate disagree, probably cos of the Kojima comment, but I'm a Kojima fan and love the long trailers. I was just saying the style of trailer is different in the east and the west.

NecrumSlavery5255d ago

A live action movie or actual gameplay. No stupid cut scenes, unless they look Killzone 2 good.

Trebius5255d ago

Show incredible looking graphics and say that's in-game when it's really CGI :P

TheIneffableBob5255d ago

@Trebius

That's basically what they did with Halo 3.

4Sh0w5255d ago

Well the game won't be out for almost a year, right?

Saaking5255d ago

Damn it, it's not gonna be gameplay!?

Blaze9295255d ago (Edited 5255d ago )

Correct me if im wrong, but no Halo games so far have used CGI cinematics in-game so why would they start now?

Zack Sawyer5255d ago

@ gaffyh
I agree with you, a nice 2 min video of true gameplay would have been nice and not too long to spoil any of the story even if after reading the books we know most of whats going to happen.

@TheIneffableBob
Yeah I remember those adverts saying something like they were representative of graphics or gameplay, on both accounts they were wrong really which was a shame. Maybe on the PC or next consoles but not the 360.

I'm really not expecting much of a graphical leap even with Reach, but I would be happy if they could at least bring it up to the standard of games such as Gears or Battlefield:BC. But you never know I might be suprised, unfortunately it now seems we will have to wait a while longer before we can find out.

Microsoft might show a flash of gameplay IMO.

The BS Police5255d ago

Bungie doesn't do CGI cinematics.

GOWIII35255d ago

True. Bungie never uses CGI in games. I think people want to take jabs at the game using the Super Bowl CGI TV ad and Halo Wars as an excuse.

Shotgun_Roamer5255d ago

My wallet doesn't like teasing, don't taunt it

Jaces5255d ago

Can't complain, it's better than nothing.

Curious to see what they did to improve upon the franchise.

Xbox Avatars Shoe5255d ago

Just like Halo 3 and ODSTs' campaigns.

Madusha5255d ago

This sucks, I was hoping for at least 10 minutes. 2 minutes and 30 seconds of an opening cinematic is useless.

LinuxGuru5255d ago

2 and a half minutes is actually pretty good for a debut.

A lot can be shown in 2 and a half minutes, be thankful.

Battlefield5255d ago

Spartan_008 asks: "How long is the Halo: Reach screening for the VGA's?"

Bungie Answers: "About two and a half minutes."

WTF?

blue7xx75255d ago

two and half minutes isn't short lol I though when I read this it was gonna be like 15 seconds or less. But 2 1/2 minutes isn't short for me.

Madusha5255d ago

IMO it is, I was waiting a long time for this premiere...we want to see more gameplay. 2 minutes will go past so quickly. It's like your average game trailer.

Mista T5255d ago

watch 2 minutes be like opening an armored door that's 4 feet thick :P

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.

robtion480d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad480d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90480d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183480d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90480d ago (Edited 480d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde480d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90480d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde479d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator480d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13480d ago

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

shinoff2183480d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken565d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar565d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos564d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP565d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken565d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149565d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE565d ago

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.

zidane1341565d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90565d ago

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.

Profchaos564d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90564d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai564d ago

“ 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.
