I'm speechless from Halo. Just wow.

Gears 3 and Tomb Raider look very awesome too. Can't believe we still need to finish this day and two more.

You're speechless from a by-the-books cg cutscene announcement trailer?

To use a Turoterm - Wow. Just wow.

Yeah, problem?

I already know what the hell Halo games are and what to expect from them. The point that the story is continuing and what the trailer showed us is what got me excited. And the Halo Remake is also great and is what I expected.

Rayman is blowing me the f*ck away.

see i didn't realize that the MS press Conference aired on Spike, so that's how i missed it

FarCry, however, is not blowing me the f*ck away.

You can be excited without being hyperbolic about it. Speechless? Really? Come on, man.

Well it left me speechless. I had a long hot ****** day at school and came back to a giant surprise. Halo remake was obvious and I saw coming a mile away, but Halo 4. I assumed it will never happen or maybe next gen but this E3? And released next year for the 360? Yeah, highlight of my day. Halo is one of my top three videogame series. So it's a big deal to me. I felt the way I felt because I did. I was shaking for a bit and couldn't really say anything.

[Ninjinister]

Yeah actually there's kind of a point there. I was surprised there's a Halo 4 coming so soon and that it still stars Master Chief. But since I've never liked Halo, it was more like an arch-of-the-eyebrow and then MTFO.

Wait, did I just semi-agree with Turo? Where's my cyanide pills...?

[Peanut]

I still don't see how anyone could be THAT surprised? Bungie is gone! You thought Microsoft wouldn't IMMEDIATELY jump back into the next Halo game with them out of the picture? Why do you think ODST and Reach happened? Bungie didn't want to do Halo 4. They're gone, the dignity the franchise had is gone entirely.

And REALLY!? Microsoft isn't going to bring back the only major character in the history of their games business? Come on, guys.

Edit: You know, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense, Turo. You're around 15, right? You grew UP with Halo. I always forget how young you are, so it actually totally makes sense you'd love Halo in the way I love something like Mario. I didn't really think about it like that, but it makes total sense.
