IGN Claims Halo 3 At E3

IGN says that 'sources' have confirmed Halo 3 will be part of Microsoft's E3 Event. From the article: "The video is allegedly two minutes long, although its contents weren't divulged. We're guessing a wild breathtaking battle on Earth. Knowing Microsoft, the publisher will want to show all real, in-game engine footage to counter Sony's fantastical CG videos from E3 2005. When Microsoft was contacted, the company issued its standard reply, 'We don't comment on speculation and rumors.'"

How do you want to be let down tomorrow?

Because microsoft is a trustworthy company.

Sony might have shown some crazy demos. But remember that most of the stuff they showed at the original PS2 showing, were finally achieved and surpassed (the famous tekken shot with the hi-poly abdos was thought to be fake, when in fact those were graphics for Tekken 4, due a couple of years later).

On the other hand, microsoft never really had a good console. Xbox was succesful only in the US due to their bizarre taste for american football sequels and inane "US army saves the world" games.

bleh.

If you haven't seen it you should check out this MGS4 demo clip; this is definately real-time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSDudPTOznE&search= metal%25%20gear%25%20solid%25%204

It looks like at least the MGS4 footage was real

Hopefully Halo on Earth, not Halo inside spaceship

Hopefully Halo will be "Halo on Earth", rather than "Halo in twisty mazes inside space ships and buildings".

I played Halo 2 first and found the environments all a bit^H^H^Hlot samey.

Then I played Halo (1) and loved the way it alternated interior with exterior levels.

I guessed that they tried to save money on Halo 2 because outdoor environments are more demanding on the machine and time-consuming to develop.

Here's hoping - lots of luscious outdoors environments, please!
