Not bad. Not quite what I think of when it comes to Halo though.

The final bit of the Halo 4 concept art trailer reminded me of Metroid's music so much, particularly the first part of this:

I approve of ripping off Metroid's musical style.

Oh my godddd yes, my friend I used to sing along to this whenever it came on. God, JSRF was ridiculously awesome.
I was just listening to that. That song was quintessential. Just went through some of Scapegoat Wax's other stuff because of it.
ME3, SSX, JSRF, female underrepresentation in gaming, dating, with some Halo. Leggo.

I was in such excited approval of this post, until I clicked the link and it was Other M.
I quite liked this, even for a obvious fake, it's really good.
You hatin' on because I like black bro? Racist bro.because backgrounds for certain avatars annoy me...bored..hungry.

Timedawg approved? Sold even more!
Other M still had pretty good music. The game itself wasn't bad, the story was garbage. It was a bad Metroid game coming off the Prime trilogy, but it's hard to live up to such high standards.

To be honest, I've never played it, but after the Prime games, I wouldn't go near that thing.
All of em.
With a Space Orb controller.
BLAST FROM THE PAST!
I broke like 3 of them.

I wonder if Halo 4's soundtrack will have some similarities with Daft Punks Tron Legacy soundtrack. For some reason that stood out to me as a style that could work with Halo in some ways.
MC is a deeper character in the books, and I really expect that to shine through in Halo 4. Cortana is another character who is fantastic, so I really hope they expand on her as well. Oh, and the Arbiter also is great so I expect to see him back and playing a role.
I wonder if the games will explore how the races of the covenant are structured now and if we will see more strong characters like the Arbiter from other species.

So harsh, I think it's worth a rent. I enjoyed it despite its flaws.
Not by much. He's going to need to be completely characterized by upcoming events, because there's not much to draw from his past (unless 343 makes up some new shit).
He is thoroughly stoic. I can't see him reacting to anything.
Maybe all that time in cryo will make him a Sensitive Sam in the next game.
And then I would kill myself.

True, but I still feel there is more to him than just a guy with a gun. That said, I hope if he is fleshed out more that it is done carefully, and IMO the best way to do that is via Cortana.
Love those songs. Seriously, I could really see that direction working.

The first thing that stuck out to me in the trailer was Cortana calling him "John" rather than "Chief."
Bring on the Cortana trilogy. I also agree that the best way to give the Chief some depth is through Cortana.
The only major player in the entire Haloverse not directly tied to Cortana at this point is the Arbiter.

That would be awesome. It's been a while since I've played the original trilogy, so a refresher would be cool

I found my Dreamcast games in the basement. I missed so much title back these days.(Like Shenmue 2)
No?
Halo: CE got a new graphic layer with Anniversary, Halo 2 looks still great on PC if you ask me, and Halo 3 has aged well. So why not replaying?
They'd never go for anything like this for a main theme.
This sounds more Assassins Creed than anything.
That would be fine as well but I do think a events before Halo 4 video would be great.
I wouldn't mind it, but it isn't strictly necessary. It's a new trilogy by a new studio, I'm sure they want to start off fresh. "Last time on Halo!..." doesn't really do that.

That's true. I should really get around to replaying them again
So, uh, this is pretty interesting, fake or not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOPFPWOGSrs
Wow, somebody put some crazy amount of work just for that.
21th November 2012 release date? What.
New studio does not mean the previous events did not happen and there are plenty of people who did not read the books that would be interested in previous lore. I know this is what Origins was trying to achieve but it didn't quite hit the mark.
pretty impressive fake stuff, they should reword it next time. It's not really ViDoc is it? lol
Considering the date is November 21st? Fake.
Tuesdays are the launch days for pretty much every major release besides Nintendo releases, the 21st is a Wednesday.

Yup, and it gives me hope for a lot more depth from both characters and the overall story.
As other have said, that would work beat for a Halo Waypoint video, but it would be cool to see it remastered. Of course, full Halo waypoint integration for Halo 4 would make both possibilities happen.
So yeah, that was still a cool thing to watch even if it was fake. Some of those visuals were stunning. (Lets just say its real.. I doubt its a ViDoc but rather something like the audio recording sessions.) But yeah, Im going with a cool fake.
If Halo 4 will be at the Spring Showcase we should know soon. Lets hope, but not hope too badly.
Exactly why I posted it, just makes it a bit more interesting to think about the possibilities. That water effect though, mygod.

I'm always amazed at the number of people that don't realize media retail releases are almost always on Tuesdays (in the US at least) when they make fakes of stuff.

I am not going to lie I am getting a bit tired of all these fake leaked things. That video was cool but we have gone so long with out anything we have to rely on fake leaks to go "Oh that could be cool" or ect. Its fun to speculate but we have been doing that for quite some time now :/
Yeah I dont get it, you think they would have learned after every Halo game released on a Tuesday or they always go to a midnight launch on a Monday night lol

Devo is correct. Games are embarrassingly bad about gender issues.
Agreed, for a moment there i was kind of excited thinking "Yes! finally some leaked info" but i should have known better *sigh*

Totally. And what a difference it makes. It immediately adds a more personal, familiar, and even vulnerable touch to their dynamic. Their relationship has the potential to be one of the most interesting in video game history, I'd say.
I'd be down with that.
Yup. :-(Headlong was wasted on this game.

Well, at least this fake certainly has some quality behind it that is nice to look at. Too bad the final game wont come close to that level of visual fidelity.
I know games release on Tuesdays, but that has me thinking, what day of the week is it normal for big news to hit? Such as the eventual Halo 4 media drop?
Don't say that. you are beautiful in every single way.
Plenty of clues in the extended fiction being released lately and in CEA, but we won't get anything on the game proper until the next big reveal. Which is rumored to be in the next week.
I don't believe it's real, but it is quite interesting. However, if the big day comes (the 5th I believe), and we get something as generic as this, I'd be incredibly upset lol

It's funny that people at youtube believe it's real. They never saw the BtS stuff from Anniversary, right?
