This is great news. A great series and a great director.

nrvalleytime3990d ago

Indeed. He is one of the people that can be wholeheartedly trusted to deliver on this idea. Perfect pairing.

Best of all, because it's a series, everyone wins - Xbox One or PS4, Spielberg is timeless.

LOL_WUT3990d ago

I don't know but I felt like this was so out of place it just felt so awkward but whatever. ;)

FriedGoat3990d ago

Spielberg isn't directing, he stars as Master Chief.

optimus3990d ago (Edited 3990d ago )

@valleytime...What makes you think this will be on network tv?...this is an exclusive series to be viewed only on xbox one.

EVILDEAD3603990d ago (Edited 3990d ago )

I've been saying this as soon as they started talking exclusive programming content.

I would have been happy with forward unto dawn as a series, it sounds like MS is taking this seriously. Good to hear.

Halo + Speilberg. I'm sold.

@optimus

Never said it would be on network television - with all of the streaming sites and torrents that exist, this series can't avoid becoming become available to people who don't own an Xbox One. It's just inevitable, which, while illegal, makes me happy that anyone with even a remote interest in Halo will be able to enjoy it. It's an enjoyable mythos that more people should enjoy.

You guys are seriously excited for a Halo TV show? Really? Wow. Now I've seen everything.

FriedGoat3990d ago

shame that was the worst reveals i have ever seen. I already have a TV......

DonFreezer3990d ago

Worst than Diablo 3 on the ps4 reveal?Not by a chance.

AngelicIceDiamond3990d ago

I don't think people understand how epic that is actually.

Enemy3990d ago

Spielberg isn't directing and he was reading a paper.

3-4-53990d ago

The only reason to watch for me is because Spielberg usually doesn't get involved in too much crap.

He could turn an ok series into something watchable.

I'm just not as into Halo as I was even 2-3 years ago though so it doesn't excite me enough.

Utalkin2me3990d ago

Yeah...you pay 10 bucks a month to access Xbox1 Tv channel to watch...How nice

OlgerO3990d ago

great news indeed, I can stream this right over the internet from my PS4s browser

Welcome2Die3990d ago

Im preeeettty sure I'll be able to watch this on my future PS4 lol

TV..TV..TV

I think Xbox is indeed no longer competing with Sony and Nintendo. No gameplay footage at all. Its no longer a gaming console.

peowpeow3990d ago (Edited 3990d ago )

Halo has always had some of the best live-action content. Trailers especially.

They seem to have missed the mark with this reveal though.. exclusive CoD DLC really? Exclusive madden content really?

Hope E3 has more

Edit:
CoD: Ghosts gameplay snippets.. slight graphical jump it seems

tigertron3990d ago

He needs to do the movie...still, the biggest announcement at the Xbox conference was about a tv series? lol, still, I'm a huge Halo fan so this pleases me, and Steven Spielberg will no doubt do a brilliant job.

Jek_Porkins3990d ago

What a great pairing! I like this idea more than a movie, because they'll have greater creative control over this as a series. Loved Forward Until Dawn.

hazelamy3990d ago

a tv series is good, because they can spend more time exploring that universe, but bad because tv series invariably have a lower budget than movies.

still, i'm eager to see the end result.

and i just hope this doesn't fall through like the movie.

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic63d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

PhillyDonJawn63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

kaos8964d ago

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

jznrpg64d ago

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
