360: Halo 3

http://wiredblogs.tripod.com/games/i...try_id=1419094

Tuesday, 21 February 2006
Xbox's Shane Kim talks Halo 3, launch afterthoughts, etc.
Topic: Console Games
Next-Gen's Colin Campbell caught up with Microsoft's Shane Kim at DICE, which is funny because Campbell also caught up with me at DICE and I thought I had some interesting things to say, and where's the feature about me?

Maybe next year, but for now there's lots of tidbits to be gleaned from Mister Kim, including this part where he says there's no Halo 3, wink wink nudge nudge:
Shane Kim: I call it The Mythical Halo 3 - we haven't announced any such game yet! [...] if there were a Halo 3 we would be careful about how we announce and introduce it.

Is it coming out this year?

It depends. If it's the game that everyone is expecting then, yes. For us it's about making a proper impact on the platform. It has to be something with huge significance, so we won't be rushed.
He also mentions Too Human in the same breath as Gears of War, which gets me so excited.

If you're referring to Halo 3, I wouldn't hold your breath.

Bungie took forever to release Halo 2. They postponed it's release I think twice. And they've always stood by "We aren't going to release the game if it's not done right" philosophy.

so if they run into snafu's then they'll keep pushing the date back no matter how many whining 360 owners there are that want the game right away.

Cute.. There are plenty of quality games available today and arriving shortly. COD2, PGR3, FN3, DOA4 are all excellent and have received 9's from the majority of gaming media.

BF2, GRAW, Oblivion coming next month are going to be great and huge as well. Halo will be good, but there are far more excellent games than that.

I can say the same silly thing about PS3 how the only good game that will appear is GT5

COD = port
FN3 =port
DOA4 = doa3 with better graphics
PGR3 = pgr2 with better graphics
BF2 = port
Oblivion = PC game with different story.

notice a trend? I certainly do. All the games comming out on the 360 are nearly identical to previous generation games, with better graphics.

That's why nothing is wowing me yet. They are all games I've played before, but they look better. That's it.

there is a big difference between the same theme and a spinoff. Every game that I can think of for the 360 is either a port or a spinoff. I think even full auto came out before somehwere. I just want a good game that isn't a sequel of some sort, I don't even care if it's of a similar genre to something else, as long as it's not all used up.

nope no info yet.

It depends. If it's the game that everyone is expecting then, yes. For us it's about making a proper impact on the platform. It has to be something with huge significance, so we won't be rushed.
so basically sit tight, enjoy all the other games out there for at least another year or 2.

halo 2 took at least 1 1/2 years to fully develop if I'm not mistaken. And they postponed that one a couple times too because they felt it wasn't ready.

In the end I don't care about waiting as long as it's done right.

No news yet.. I'm sure it will be revelaed at the E3 event in May. It is definitely in production but I'd guess for a holiday 2006 or Summer 2007 release (to go along with the Halo movie)

I'm guessing summer - winter of 2007. To get Halo 3 done one year after the 360 came out is rather ambitious. And bungie has always taken the safe, conservative route when it comes to developing their games. And if that means making customer's angry because they want to further develop the game they will. Because a few angry customer can be tamed with a better game anyways.

Supposedly they have been working on Halo3 even before Halo2 was launched. Bungie was the first to receive the 360 dev-kits, so I have a feeling the game has been in progress for quite some time. I definitely think and hope they take their time and make the game great rather than rush it out for a holiday launch though

well if that's the case then the possibility of a 2006 release is possible. But I wouldn't worry about them rushing for a release. They'll still release it when they are ready regardless of what people will bitch about.

Halo 3 will be at E3

http://www.xboxaddict.com/news/view.php?News_ID=6890


here is the wording for the lazy..

Master Chief Will Be At This Years E3

Posted on Wednesday, April 26th, 2006



It seems Mr Moore has today revealed that the legendary Master Chief will be appearing at E3 to show off the latest game in the Halo series. Of course nothing is known about what will be shown; whether it will be CGI or in game footage, but rest assured it will be one of the biggest highlights of this years E3.

Moore stated the following: “Expect to see the first footage from the next instalment of Halo at E3, which might shift some focus away from the competition. The game won't hit stores until 2007, however.”

It also looks like the new Forza Motorsport 2 may also make an appearance, news which will no doubt please the racing world. Like Halo 3 not much is known about the content which Forza will be taking to E3, but I wouldn't be surprised to see one of the slickest racing games to hit a console thus far.

Well I never actually played the single player game in Halo 2. I always playedl Xbox Live. But in Halo 1 there was definitely repetition.

A bunch of other "meh" movie trailers on xbox marketplace

forza2, fable2, gears of war, crackdown.

But as far as i've seen mostly your e3 pre rendered stuff. Not that it isn't exciting, Just not my thing.
