The Official Halo 3 Thread

4:51 - All stories except for "Toys" take place in the universe and are canon. "Toys" is not. It's meant to be a fun and silly exploration of Halo universe.

God bless guests (I suppose...)

To bring up a point from earlier in the panel Mamoru Oshii is directing the I.G. one it seems.
:D Kind of a HUGE deal.
I was going to write that it makes me happy, but then I remembered Avalon.
The producer of The Animatrix being on board should be a good sign, though.
 
4:57 - There are a few nuggets in Legends about the future of Master Chief. Don't go much further than end of hAlo 3, but there will be something.
 
Chief is protagonist for at least 1 of the shorts.

4:56 - Halo movie question. No announcements to make. The Halo anime is a separate project or a replacement for. "It's its own thing and its own piece of art and exists singularly."

Any other Spartans? Yes. The episodes cover a lot of aspects of the Halo universe. Through the other spartans we learn about Master Chief and the human/Halo war.If you freeze frame the trailer, you will spot some specific clues.

The Spike trailer is what they're referring to it I think. Legends will apparently be broadcast on tv too.

+ Half confirmed Cortana story (make it happen OWV!)
 
(I wish he'd stop trying to write funny. It's hard to read.)

4:58 - Players want to know more about Sgt. Johnson or Cortana. That's what Legends offers. It's a half-confirmation of a Cortana story. I am also half-confirming my interest in this.
 
Zeouterlimits said:
OWV compares it in concept to the graphic novel (different stories about different aspects of the Universe).
One of these episodes is two parts, because so big. Basically goes from Reach, it seems, to end of Halo 3 (very like the Animatrix iirc).
Shouldn't have been so judgmental before. I'm liking this more the more I hear.
 
5:01 - Sgt. Johnson discussed. "We cover the franchise of A-Z. He's not in Halo Legends, but we're not done telling stories about Sgt. Johnson." Perhaps Sarge is in Halo: Reach? English and Japanese dub/subtitles for anime.

5:02 - New novels or graphic novels about the Covenenat? There will be an episode in Legends that examines the Covenant. "We'll definitely be talking about the Covenant in-depth, ongoing."

(Woo!)
 
Captain Blood said:
Is that new? When I was playing there wasn't a party system. Whoever I was trying to play with and I would always have to look for a room hoping that both of us could join and be on the same team. You can join a match that a friend is in but you can't join a match with a friend, unless like I said that might be new.

ah, I see what you're saying. No KZ2 doesn't have a party system, but you can easily join a friend or clan member and it'll put you on the same team and squad as your friend now.
 
5:03 - They do show Elites wearing smaurai armor. An episode named "Duel." It has a watercolor look. Sounds like this examines Elite's fuedal state before joining Covenant. Production-IG did this episode and did a "beautiful-looking piece." There will be an all-CG episode in Legends.

(I REALLY want to see this)
 
Kelly & Linda (& Cortana) Yuri Anime by Toei CONFIRMED!

:lol (not really, known female spartans actually confirmed)

Kibbles said:
So it will be part CG, part anime? That's what the animatrix was, right? (never saw it)
Yup, one the animatrix shorts was all in CG.
 
Couple more stupid updates of the IGN guy trying to be funny and "knowledgeable".
That's not the best way to post news. :/ -

5:05 - We will see female Spartans. Safe to say you will see some known female spartans in Legends. Note: There were female spartans shown in the Halo Graphic Novel.

Knowledge dropped.

5:06 - Still no Peter Jackson. Perhaps he is getting a hair cut.

An all CG episode? Very cool. This is sounding more and more like a day one buy.
 
5:12 - Ishikawa-san's episode includes a "female warrior" and there is an element that connects to the Ghost in the Shell lead character. [...]

5:13 - A CG Elite is shown. Looks pretty bad-ass. Like the best of any Halo cut-scene.

5:15 - There will be some announcements before panel ends. Three questions remaining, then a re-show of the trailer.
 
Zeouterlimits said:
5:14 - The next Reach trailer "won't be for a little while."

Not particularly surprising, but at least we know now.
I think we all knew it was safe to assume that we wouldn't be seeing any new content until after ODST's release.

Agreed, but when I first read it I assumed he was referring to even longer, middle of december at the earliest etc.
 
Huh. Edit: Double huh.

"5:20 - And now on to other announcements. Handout about MS studio game. What could it be? Won't know until I grab it. Halo Legends posters at show from 6-7. But you aren't here, suckah!

No actual announcement. Lame. What does postcard hold...

5:21 - It's a swank Crackdown 2 postcard. It says "CITIZEN" in bold. There is a dude in full power armor with helmet on. "These are dark times. Keep faith in the Agency. The light is coming back to Pacific City. And it weighs 300 pounds in armor."

5:23 - That's the end of the panel. 100% Halo Legends."


100% Halo Legends... + Crackdown 2?
 
Why are they handing out Crackdown 2 cards at the halo panel? Halo 4 Beta confirmed.

"These are dark times. Keep faith in the Agency. The light is coming back to Pacific City. And it weighs 300 pounds in armor."
Master Chief armor unlockable for Crackdown 2?

That's when I was expecting to hear the first details on the Reach beta (and Reach itself) anyway.

Flipyap: More Crackdown 2 teasing=:D

Mark VI MJOLNIR armor for your Crackdown Hero? :lol that would be AWESOME!

Also calling it now.. Halo: Reach (ad, trailer) will be shown in December just like the Halo 3 ad.

I think that particular project was cancelled, but since then there have been other people pitching scripts, that's what he might be referring to.
This quote really doesn't say anything, like a lot of the stuff IGN quoted as "half-confirmation".


Zeouterlimits said:
1up seems to think they were talking about grunts in Samurai armour rather than Elites
:lol

That I would pay (even more) to see.
"Fascinating" in-deed!

I want to see a Grunt duel.
...Man, now I'm going to be disappointed in Legends no matter how cool it ends up. Thanks a bunch, 1up. :(

Unless "Toys" is an epic story of Grunty goofiness. Give me food-nipples, or give me death!
 
Zeouterlimits said:
Seems that G4 did a (arguably, I think so) better liveblog here.

I wonder how much of IGN's Live Blog was the dude jumping to conclusions.

G4: "Will Marty O'Donnell be doing the music in Halo Legends? It was featured in the trailer, but not much comment on the whole series.
IGN : "The music in the trailer is re-orchestrated from Halo 1 and 2. Not sure if there is also original music being created. Nothing new from Marty O'Donnell."

*laughs*

*thinks about Fable, realises there's probably a good chance*

*grimaces, but pre-orders anyway*

Not that I probably wasn't buying Crackdown 2 anyway, but it .. well we'll wait and see, won't we?
 
Is there a nice summary of all the new information somewhere?

And Plywood, I'm gonna have to disagree. While I loved Gundam Wing, the traditional Gundam art direction is not welcome in my Halo.

Blueblur1 - Total Sacrifice - Been on both sides of crazy. Easily disturbed
:lol Kind of true. Too be honest, I've let my emotions get the best of me at times. That results in posts or arguments that would never have existed had I taken a minute or two to think before I post. Shit happens and you move on. *shrug*
 
Someone asks about voice actors. "The Halo movie is pending development." As for Halo Legends they are not finished casting.

Already knew this, thought everyone did. Postponed until further notice.

I'm really glad to hear it, if Gears of War can be made, no reason not to have a Halo movie. Not sure about you guys but I would prefer and CGI movie that looks like the Halo 3 trailer, than a live action one! Why don't they just put 80mil max in it and get it out already!
