So yeah. That just happened. With Spielberg.
Questions are:
1. When will the series take place?
2. When does the show start? Later this year? Next year?

I am sold on that, but I'll just get it on bluray down the line.

Biggest news from the event was a tv show LOL Microsoft
Even with Spielberg on it, I'm not paying for a console to watch his bullshit. WTF is microsoft thinking?

The best info out of the conference personally.
Though if it's exclusive to the console kind of ruins things.

Spielberg's name might be attached to it. I wonder how much (if any) of his time gets devoted to it.
Just another uninteresting announcement.

Personally can't wait. I've been craving a new sci-fi show to sink my teeth into.

He was listed as Director and has been interested in the Halo Movie for a while.
Oh I know. That said, he might attract some talent on the writing front. The key will be who the writer is.

Using Spielberg(his movies after AI are shit) to make fast money. This is what i expected from M$.
juices.
Given MS' history with bringing the franchise to other media, they will not skimp. If Forward Unto Dawn is any indication of the quality, the TV show will be okay.

Of course not. But he is a name, it gives the series extra weight and creates a buzz - and Spielberg gets paid.

Don't let MS deceive you with their PR bullshit, guys. Spielberg will have as little to do with this as you can imagine. They basically paid him to record a 3 minute message.

Neill Blomkamp would have been a much better choice.
District 9, hell Elysium's trailer proves he deserved to direct the film.
Now along comes Spielberg, who is clearly not suited to any sort of involvement with Halo, to mess things up like he did Indiana Jones. Grrrrrrreat.

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Only thing that caught my attention out of this whole terrible conference. I dunno though.... Is anyone worried this is going to be some pretty low budget stuff here? That and Spielberg hasn't done anything decent with sci-fi in ages.

Spielberg's TV efforts are so half-assed.

remember that time halo was an anime
You mean the stuff that is made with a lot of restrictions. His HBO stuff is great.

And that's what I'm worried about. Sure, Forward Unto Dawn was good as a one shot made for TV movie prequel, but I don't see an entire series with something as epic and huge as Halo.

the most "mainstream" announcement today(NFL thing might be bigger though)
but Steven has been in a giant rut for a while now. His projects have been bad/mediocre lately

My god. If there aren't any GAF references on the show I will be mad.
I will want to see many dong references.

Yep. By far.
The Spielberg name itself doesn't do anything for me because the last time I saw it attached to a TV show was Terra Nova, and that was abysmal. But Halo? Sign me in.

I don't even understand the logic. This is supposed to make me buy a console? That only works if it's exclusive to the console for a very long time - which might work for games but it totally doesn't makes sense for a TV show. Exclusive games can be somewhat justified because they are written for the system. A TV show is a TV show, and only artificially exclusive because they say so. And exclusive Xbox One game isn't going to work on my PS4. A TV show would.
