Halo 4 Console Bundle Leaked. New Live Action Trailer.
 

343 Industries' first outing in Bungie's hugely popular Halo series is still many months away, with a November release date, but the hype machine trundles on.

Above is the latest live action trailer, Forward Unto Dawn, for the Halo 4 live-action digital series.
Quote:

"Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn" is a live-action digital series that takes fans back to the terrifying beginning of the Human/Covenant war, when the Master Chief inspired a young cadet who would eventually become a leader aboard the UNSC's greatest vessel: the UNSC Infinity.
Further to this, a limited edition Halo 4 Xbox 360 bundle will be available to pre-order from Microsoft’s online store, when Microsoft gets around to actually announcing it that is.

A pre-order listing for the custom console was discovered on the store by IGN before being subsequently pulled from public viewing.

According to the info, the 320 GB console will have a specially designed case and play custom sounds when the power or eject buttons are pressed. It also will include two custom controllers, a headset, and a copy of Halo 4.

The bundle was listed at $399.99 (£257.99, €326.83). No release date was mentioned, but it’s likely to arrive around the same time as the Halo 4 launch in November.

Well, that was the best Live_Action trailer for a game I ever saw.

I'm looking forward to this game even if I didn't like Halo before it.

Just make the damned live-action movie already. Trim the budget, get a studio on board and get it done.

Wolvie 07-13-2012 09:17 AM

Hell MS could afford to make the movie themselves.

Damn that thing looks sweet, shame I'm not in the market for a new 360.

BabyJesus 07-13-2012 10:34 AM

Yeah that thing looks badass.

EDIT: I dont understand what would keep them from making a Halo movie or series of movies. Money is there, popularity is there and it would have to be better than something like the Prince of Persia movie. Get a good director and writer on board and you'd be set.

That does look pretty rad!

...Spartan Hogwarts. really?

Deadend 07-13-2012 10:42 AM

I don't think Microsoft should make the movie, as that trailer was uhh..
Totally garbage and looked to be the most cliche war/sci-fi/school movie in existence.

I don't know why, but that trailer gave me hope that someday someone could make a decent Ender's Game movie.

I'm excited.

MS wanted an insane amount of the profits from the original planned movie, which didn't look, in essence, as well put together as that trailer. However, its pretty obvious they are testing the waters, especially in looking who they got to do the limited special effects, and how they went about placing it and how they will market it. If the same rumors that came out during the leaked 7 year plan for MS are to be believed its a test to judge how a movie would possibly do.

I can say this. Their choice to use no special effects for the chief(the actor who plays him was Colossus in Xmen) was a good one. He is massive and people who know him say he is wicked fast and incredibly dexterous for his size).

MS may be massive but partnerships need to be created actual studios because they want an actual full movie after this. Assuming Halo 4 releases well, and assuming the movie looks as good as it does here, there will most likely be some studios interested.

Forget about the movie, this series looks awesome. What a great trailer... and they somehow managed three whole minutes without a using a dubstep score. I'm impressed!

Casting looks serviceable, if not a little on the too old side. Harrison Ford and Ben Kingsley? Nice pickups.

MS also wanted all rights to like backend stuff too so studios couldn't get any like movie action figure or shirt money.

Basically MS wanted to make a movie but not make it themselves. They should just make the damn thing already.

They shot a whole live action web series. A good friend of mine is one of the UNSC marines in it (in this trailer even). I'll see if you guys can guess which one!

Oh sweet jumpin jesus christ on a pogo stick. I will have that. I must have that. Dammit. And I bet there is going to be a kick ass legendary edition of the game as well. Fucking decisions to be made here.

The bundle will probably only come with the reg ver of the game to make you have to buy a 2nd (legendary) copy of the game. :)

Honestly though? Yes, it looks great and all, but $399 for a console at the very end of its life? I dunno, that seems like a hard sell to me.
