Didn't know Alex Chu left Bungie in 2011.

Nor did I, but check out this section of his portfolio. Some awesome concepts I hadn't seen before, like these:

Interesting stuff in the Halo 4 thread from people who saw it in motion:

I'm sure it'll be fine, also seeming as everyone seems to be in a rap mood lately.

lol at "I took her to my Neverland Ranch to Tee HEE."
dude you don't even know! MC is going to pop out of the screen and punch you in the face.
OT: Tawpgun, your post in the 360 thread made me laugh. So true.
Nothing wrong with some hype.

I think you're underestimating the raw power of the Wii U.
So no big GI Halo 4 reveal but now we know Bungie's next game is a next-gen title?!
We already knew that 3 months ago, since one of their graphic enginers, Hao Chen, tolk to gamasutra.

That's pretty weird seeing their PS3 commitment and Activision letting them skip a release on a plateform (360) Bungie knows inside-out...
Why are you asumming H4 is not this month.'s GI cover?
Setting unrealistic expectations isn't a good thing. Saying a game on the 360 will look like a next-gen game is just silly.
Nope.
The interview was much centered on Bungie's ability to scale its engine for the coming plateforms, and the desire to put emphasis on openness and richness rather than in-your-face graphical prowess.
And I can't picture a PS360 release followed by a PS720 release.
From the bsangel "tweet" that Hypertrooper reported to us.
I don't even dare to visit the thread often these days. Fronkle promised a novel marketing campaign, right now it's a despicable drought...
Halo 4 marketing campaign seems on a tight leash, and although a GI cover makes sense to appetize Joe gamer, i still don't really believe 343i will give an outside firm the chance to blow open Halo 4 doors.
it's not always about raw power but how you trick the eyes and other sensory inputs.
Higher fidelity assets, better lighting, cinematic approach etc... all of this can propel a game to levels few games this gen have gone.

What did that tweet say?
The way it was worded was careful hyperbole. A masterstroke, really, because the only people taking the statement for more than it is would have had unrealistic expectations anyway.
So you want to play on words ? (French expression, don't know if it's okay in english, but you know what I mean.)
So :
No as clear as a sentence on the Alex Chu folio like "next-gen title", I agree, but we all already knew they were working on a new engine for the next gen, and of course, for their next game which using this engine. =)
For the next gen, GamesIndustry wrote an interesting article about the development costs, you shloud read it : http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2012-04-03-next-gen-consoles-mean-increased-development-costs
Warning: Late news is small. I mean small news is late. I mean... well, both statements are accurate, so I'll just leave it at that. Until then....
french Halogaf?
It says what it says, the game is being developped with scalability in mind, it never says it's a next-gen title.
that a big dev like Bungie considers a next-gen is coming when current gen is 6/7 years old is no news.
I wonder if a 2013 next-gen launch is a problem for Bungie. They can't be spending cash on a >100 men studio for years without making some money back. yet a 2013 release on current gen seems pretty late for a title that will probably be always on.

I was gonna say this, no one really believes this do they? Those that do are found out to be dumbasses anyway.
Hyperbole and personal expectation, one taints the other, but I think most of us here have grounded expectations so far.
Also, played BF3 with the patch yet Over?

So do you guys think we'll actually see MC's face in this trilogy?

Just for clarification: Bsangel did not tweet it. She posted it on HaloWaypoint. And that part does not eliminate the possibility for Halo 4 as a GI's title story. If she writes: Hey want Halo 4 info? Buy GameInformer. [coverimageposted] <- small news for me.
Hell no. Please god no. /thread
I hope not. I just want to know if he is wearing pants or shorts.
I definitely do not.
I think that it would've been Bungie's right to reveal it or not and half the fun of MC's character is the fact that I get to make him look like what I want in my mind. The other half being cod pieces.
I bet he looks a lot like Franck Ribery
Probably not, but I don't think this is that important either.
Bald, scarred space marine face would probably turn people off.

You mean Franck 'underage prostitute' Ribery? Sure.

I don't think he's bald.
The books described him as red haired. And freckled
He has brown hair.

FemChief reveal incoming (yeah that's small news) :
343i is proud to have a dedicated campaign for lady gamers, and as an added bonus we are delighted to count LaRoux on board on project as she brings her face and voice to the franchise with an exlcusive level for Kinect where you dance your way through the minions of an evil and ancient dark force.
Do you know any other Franck Riberys?

Nope, had to make sure though.
*Looks below the waist*
No wonder you're shy.

Maybe when he was young.
I'm sure he is bald/close cropped hair, just like all the spartans in Reach. After 40+ years of non-stop fighting, he probably also has some scars.
So, scarred, bald space marine.
Besides, I think they like to preserve the mystery.

Would buy. Day 1. Great voice.
I hope he has a diamond grill. That would be phat.

You're correct, my mistake.

fits perfectly with the darker tone and terrible children abductions.

Lol, sorry to burst your mystery bubble but he has brown hair in Halo: CE. (In the book Halo: The Flood)
the red hair young boy is canon, the rest is up in the air. he's got augmented everything, 343i can pretty much make him green and have a ready explanation for it.
And since Superman is an alien from jewish confession, I think it's fitting the US also get an irish superhero in addition to a black president.
I think Precursors are latino.

Oh so he did have red hair in Fall of Reach? Haven't read it in years.
