Could Fox be backing the Halo Movie?

This is speculation, but Myarcadeplanet.com feels that the recent marketing deal between Fox and Microsoft could mean that the Halo Movie is back on track.

I hope this is true. It's one movie I've been wanting to come out for a long time. :P Ever since the novels first started.

Relin6157d ago

I don't even like the game, but I'd go see that movie.

Ichabod136157d ago

Gotta love the hype around anything halo related :P It should be a good movie though, wish they would get started on it.

Crazyglues6157d ago (Edited 6157d ago )

This is going to sound crazy, but I swear if there is a movie being made I must be a part of it, it is the only way the movie will be done right.

I am the only one who can see how the movie should be done. It's like I sleep eat and breathe this movie. I fall asleep seeing how the movie should look. It's just so sad I know no one in Hollywood.

Maybe I should start writing the script at least then people could see my vision. (hmmm.. Yeah I think I will do that. free script for download - should be a good read for on your way to work or something - like when you got some free time and nothing to do? Might be fun to read.)

youzef6157d ago

that if it was published by fox it would release in Blue ray as an HD format :/
Anyway, i cant wait to watch this movie anything Peter Jackson rocks :)

Ichabod136157d ago

I think that's why MS had Universal on board too. I'm sure they won't toss support away from HD DVD with the movie, when it comes out.

DrunKao6157d ago

That would be so funny if Halo 3 is a Blu-Ray exlusive. Talk about irony.

sonarus6156d ago

haha yea that was the first thing that came to my mind. Microsoft will probably still release it as downloadable content or something. But i doubt halo will do too well. It will most likely be a lame movie. Unless someone like peter jackson handles it and he handles it properly

gogators6157d ago

ever getting made if production costs were expected to run around 120 million dollars, even with Mr Jackson's involvement. While Halo may have a large gaming fan base, I just don't see that fan base being large enough to warrant risking that kind of money.

Ichabod136157d ago

You can potentially say the same thing about alot of movies out there. Transformers for example...while there are die hard transformers fans. I'm not one of them. I would like to see it because of the story and graphics added.

I would say that the movie would be popular with fans of the game and outsiders also. But I guess we'll just all have to wait and see what happens. :P

gogators6157d ago (Edited 6157d ago )

the 80's with a very large market and television presence. And while yes there are many who are not fans of the Transformers, I think you would find a larger number of people more familar with the Transformers verses Halo. Of course the Transformers of late have seen substantial market presence. I just don't see Halo being able to move 40 million tickets in order to re-coup a 120 million dollar investment.

No, I am not interested in a Chevy bastardized version of the Transformers.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken6h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6921h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker21h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6921h ago(Edited 21h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt9h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken6h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 3h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto1d 2h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 2h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies16h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis1d 19h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast1d 18h ago

It's worth a play through today.

gold_drake1d 11h ago

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better
