Debuted towards the end of PAX2011, 343 Studios shares a collection of their concept art for their upcoming game, to demonstrate an idea of the atmospheric and aesthetic designs we should be looking forward to later next year. In addition to this, the new forthcoming trilogy to the game has been given a name, The Reclaimer Trilogy.

You know what they say, the best Final Fantasy was 7.

Except for the fact that it wasn't.

At this point, its probably best to just ignore anything and everything that Blitz says xP

This concept art does look pretty boss though, getting me excited

[G@Mβi┼]

Exciting! Didn't those structures at the beginning look forerunner-esque? Thought this new place wasn't supposed to be forerunner /:

Cool looking stuff, but it's not Bungie's Halo if you know what I mean. Personally I doubt I'll buy future Halo games.

[Skeezix the Cat]

I love new Halo games. Trying to imagine what it will look and feel like, new gameplay, new weapons, it's exciting.

To me, the "new" Halo games "trend" occurred when Halo 2 was released. Why? It was different than Halo 1. However, in case many have forgotten, Halo 2 was very critically acclaimed by Halo fans, and many thought Bungie was essentially selling out. Similar was done with Halo 3 -- after many of the elements from Halo 2 were taken out, and it was given a more Halo 1-ish feel; but much of it was still very different. My point is, Halo has been a constantly evolving series. So much has changed since the beginning that people are forgetting just how evolved these newer games are. The core of Halo, however -- for the most part, remains intact. Personally, I prefer Halo 1 and Halo 3 the most out of the lot, but I was also happy with how Reach sort of tied in a lot of old and new features, and gave the Halo franchise a set format for them to build on; without changing too many elements like had been done prior to. That is where I believe we can expect to see Halo 4 continue toward. The new developers would be foolish to do any drastic core changes, so I believe it's safe to say that the next trilogy will feel at home with us; even without Bungie at the helm. Games take on new developers all the time, and still succeed. We'd be foolish not to at least give 343 a legitimate shot.

I don't like 343 or Bungie. I just liked Halo 1 and that was it.

[ReindeerYiffer]

Artwork in general looks nice, but gameplay and storyline is my main concern at this point. If it ends up as a CoD mockup, Halo is finished.

[forkspoonz]

Halo 1 is the best. Forever.

For anybody worried about the music sounding too Mass Effect-ish, the music was made in-house, so it won't be in the final game. I would love it to be, though. It sounds great.

Yooooooooooooooooooo, what the fuuuuuucccckkk!

Really though, many, many people think FF7 is the best. Even if technicly it wasn't. As it was the first final fantasy many people played. You have to accept that.

I've played every Final Fantasy.. I'd consider myself a true fan, and I still consider VII very high on the list. They're all very different games though, so I don't opt to choose a favorite.

[a mad man]

ok, the only way i would consider halo 4 is if it has the same halo feel, the concept art looks nice, but i really think if 303 decided to try maybe getting some of the concept artists from the prier halo's it'll still maintain it's halo feel, i wont know though till i see models and stuff.

secondly i really hope they can maybe convince Martin O'donnell to compose for just one more halo, he's one of my favorites, like ever >.>...

I actually didn't realize this until recently but nearly all the bungie members have been replaced, fired, retired, or moved since Marathon. Basicly many people that helped create Halo 1 and come up with the original idea are no longer even at or work for Bungie. Remember Halo is based off Marathon, with many aspects used in Halo being borrowed from Marathon initially.

I actually said that already.

It's going to be a piece of shit. Pretty much like an old cows milk.
