I'm fairly excited about the release of Halo 4. I tried adding a countdown timer, but the iFrame was banned by
Desura. I think I'll hold out on purchasing and see how people respond to it, but with the amount of money thrown at the game, I think it will be impossible for it to be a failure.
Many people (co-workers especially) may have heard me wax lyrical over the visual quality of large-scale games coming out. Whether it's Halo, COD, Portal or nearly any other console game, I can't help but feel that gaming has come a long way since old eight bit.
Prediction time: There's going to be one of two reactions made by the public.
- "This is just Halo: Reach again" or "This is buggy and generally crap", and therefore "I miss Bungie"
- "This is awesome", and therefore "long live 343i!"
We'll see. Regardless of how good the game is, there's going to be some diehards who won't like it. A bit like the fate of the next star wars trilogy (which I predict will die a disastrous death).
