4

Released today into a world of skepticism that 343 Industries can carry on the legacy that Bungie has left them. I've been following the development and while I'm a little disappointed that the Convenant are still present as a villain, I'm very much in support of the direction they seem to be taking the franchise. I won't have a chance to pick up my preorder until Thursday night, so I'll just have to wait and see. I'm avoiding the reviews but stumbled onto this image on Facebook - looks shiny.

Forward Unto Dawn - Part 1

Getting prepped for Halo 4 in a few weeks.

The New Sounds of Halo

I've been pretty quiet on blogging lately and very quiet on my thoughts of the impending Halo 4.

Marty O'Donnell has not returned to compose for the latest game in the franchise, with a new composer (Neil Davidge) stepping into some very large shoes. I was curious to see what direction someone else would take for the music that has become instantly recognisable as a part of the Halo universe. Davidge's music seems to capture that 'Halo' feel while developing something altogether new, not unlike the direction for the game itself (the first in the new "Reclaimer Trilogy").

Fifteen*5

Yeah that's right. You saw what you saw! Space battles in Halo: Reach. I was suprised when this appeared in the Halo: Reach E3 2010 Trailer. Stands to reason that Bungie would pull out something magestic (more so than what had already been announced/released) for their 'final' Halo game. Can't wait.

I will be doing a full E3 post once it's complete.
