Comic-Con 2012

HBO's 2012 San Diego Comic-Con Coverage


To Infinity and Beyond!
A studio built around a single game is somewhat of an anomaly. In the grande scheme of things, announcing the next ten years of Halo isn't really a long period of time. Have you ever wondered where Halo and 343 stand after Halo 6's development? Brian Reed, Halo franchise writer, mentioned that the universe is being fleshed in ways we don't know about and won't know about for some time. I mentioned that I didn't want to see the franchise fall off the map, neither did he. Brian compared Halo to the strong cultural presence that Star Wars still retains 30 years after the original films. Color me excited.

There's Always a First.
Community members Tex , Voltron64, Domino Theory, and myself had the opportunity to play against 343. You might call it a humpday challenge of sorts. 343 called in some Bravo ordnance, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to thwart our efforts. 343-0 HBO/HaloGAF-1

Halo 4 Overload
There is seriously too much to process all at once right now. Just returned from the Halo 4 VIP Reception where Domino Theory, mastrbiggy and I got to mingle with other fans (from all over the webs), 343 Industry members, Roosterteeth, and the quickly rising stars of FUD, including the man behind the helmet: Daniel Cudmore (who is hella tall). There was also a massive amount of Halo4 Gameplay going on. Most stations were featuring some variety of SPARTAN Ops or multiplayer, specific to certain maps. There was also an impromptu Humpday Challenge! There were tons of cameras running around when that happened and my hands were busy (those triggers aren't going to pull themselves you know!), so once some friends upload their pictures (or maybe Waypoint will beat them too it) I'll upload more/better photos. At the end of the evening, everyone left with a swag bag which varied in content. Shirts, books, stickers, all kinds of merch, really. This was my first time attending one of these shindigs and I really hope it isn't my last. A big thanks to Frankie, bsangel, Allison and everyone else at 343 who helped put up this amazing show. I had such a great time and can't wait to do it all again!

Whoops! I Completely Meant to Find That.
While browsing the Halo 4 multiplayer menus I stumbled upon a menu tile titled "Challenges". I suspect challenges will be a big part of Halo 4.

Lesson Learned
wwwm0mkey just asked if Halo 4 would include cinematic terminals like that of Halo CEA. Answer: Yes.

He's Not Made Up Of Polygons
FUD trailer just premiered. The production quality is very impressive. The style somewhat reminded me of the Spartacus TV series. The story seems to focus on a group of Cadets as they go through the hardships of friendship, love, and war. There is A LOT of action including slow motion explosions, ODST drop pods, warthog chain guns, oh and Master Chief himself. One thing to note is that Steve Downes wasn't the voice of MC in the trailer. Perhaps that might change in the final cut.

Cinematics, pretty!
The fiction panel just kicked off with a cinematic from Halo 4. We get a glimpse of the the actors performing in their "Avatar Suits". Facial and body are captured at the same time and some characters are later voiced over, you know who. The cinematic focuses on Master Chief, Cortana, and who I assume was the Captain of the Infinity. They were arguing about their next course of action. The 'Captain' wants to leave while MC and Cortana think the UNSC should stay in full force..."I will not allow you to leave this planet!"

Some good background for FUD: Takes place in an academy on currently disclosed planet name. Follows cadets in first year of training for UNSC. The Academy falls under attack and the young cadets must grow up overnight and defend themselves under the wing of the Master Chief.  Plus a warthog chase scene. Full 2+ min trailer will be released later today!!
