E3 Expo 2011

Halo 4 Announced
Steven Granieri posted this item on Jun 6, 2011

Is it just me, or does it seem like every Microsoft press conference ends with a Halo announcement?

From my understanding Bungie is working on a brand new IP, so who is going to make Halo 4? I think they don’t know when to stop to preserve the integrity of the franchise, but nonetheless, Halo 4 is coming and I’m going to buy it.

They got me!

I suppose no matter how many times they say the Halo series is over they fall for the sirens call of dollar signs and pump out another iteration. At this point I can only cross my fingers that this is a step up from Reach. I can’t handle another disappointing Halo game.  

Don’t get me wrong, the teaser they showed at the end of their conference was really nice, but it’s just that, a teaser.

From the looks of it, it would appear that Master Chief is going right into the heart of the Covenant. Does this mean that there won’t be a lot of open ended lush environments? Are we getting a corridor shooter? Only time will tell.   

Also, Halo 4 will mark the start of another Halo trilogy. This is definitely going to be interesting…

Take a look for yourself; are you down for Halo 4?

I'll be honest, I never got into Halo but that's probably due to not having an XBOX at any point. Obviously making more Halo games will make money, I just get concerned when a franchise changes hands to another developer that it's just about milking the name and the customers for as much money as they can.
