damned you, deceptive title. | |
I thought the word was ending for a second XD | |
Halo Legends looks like a load of BS. Dinosaurs? Over sized brutes? Power armor? I'll pass thanks. | |
only hope, but maybe...someday | |
I... I woke up our dog laughing at this. We'd only just got him to sleep, what with all the fireworks. You are a bad man, Mr. Funk, a bad, bad man... OT - I like Blu-Ray, I like Halo, but sadly I'm not a massive fan of anime, so I'm going to be giving this a miss until I can confirm that it's like the Animatrix. If it is, I might consider it. | |
I sighed at the title, laughed at the trick, then laughed again at the 1337 tah on the Spartan on the cover | |
Ohhh that was a sneaky one. Halo anime looks quite nice and animation comes off really well in HD IMHO. I may give it a look. | |
Curse you and your attention-grabbing-but-ultimately-misleading headlines. | |
+ And Funk, do you simply have so much time on your hands that you decided to spend your day showing everyone trailers for porn games and thinking of clever jokes for news feed titles? | |
Wow... So, mixing the irrational Halo series with the irrational anime format, and then putting it onto the PS3? *HEAD-A-SPLODE* | |
Thank god, the headline worried me. | |
no need | |
that was cheap | |
so instead of buying cheap, poorly written halo books which no one reads, they're trying to sucker people into buying more expensive, poorly written and cheaply animated shorts? | |
well, does it really matter? it's going to be watched somewhere along the line anyway. | |
I was panicking there for a second there. Nice trick. Thats a silly looking Brute in that image. | |
Just doin' m'job, ma'am. ...sir. | |
That was really a cheap shot. I was expecting to witness the great apocalypse here, and you just tossed out this? Bah! But seriously, well played, Mr. Funk. | |
Wow, media headlines do actually work. Yeah on topic though, hope the animes turn out awesome. | |
Oh snap, you totally tricked me! :( | |
Why is the Brute so much bigger than Master Chief? And why is Master Chief about to shove his fist straight into it's mouth? | |
Does anyone else get the image of shoop da woop from that brute? Anyone? | |
Oh my god...the resemblance is uncanny :O | |
I remember a while back in a Toys R Us ad they had "Coming soon: Halo on PS2 (insert date here). And that ladies and gentlemen is the closest Halo has come to Sony's Playstation. OT: When more than one studio produces an anime, only bad thing will come of it. | |
doubt i would have bought halo had it come out on PS3(maybe the first Halo) but i definetly not buyin this... But of course who would? exept miserable Xbox fanboys who bought a PS3 because of a brief moment of clarity... or the few people who own both consoles and love each one like a child (and also have favourite like parents do with their children, yeah that happens in your family too, and don't predend it doesn't) EDIT: i realise i trailed off a bit there... still not gonna buy it | |
Damn. Tricked by the wording again. Never been that big of a fan when it comes to anime, but I suppose some people will enjoy it. | |
I was duped! :O Anyways, thats cool. I remember seeing the first five minutes of the anime but I didn't really like it. | |
at first glimpse the title...actually made sense... | |
Seriously though, having your mascot on the opposing system has already been done. All through the nineties the ongoing joke was a sonic game on a nintendo system. It seemed like such an impossible thing, since nintendo and sega were mortal enemies. Now it seems natural that nintendo systems get subpar sonic games. Do we really WANT the original halo for the ps3? Even with improved graphics and gameplay I probably would not buy a ps3 for that. Now if square would finally upgrade and release FF7 for the ps3, I WOULD buy a ps3, just for that game. | |
Halo comes to PS3 in February? | |
I am a sony fanboy and I think halo is kinda cool and my head didnt explode. 0.0 darn misleading title... | |
Be thankful you aren't getting the actual games. What a bucket of fail that series is. | |
Spartan Hiemlic(sp?) manoeuvre? | |
never before have i been so chocked by a headline, and i once read that the politician i had been supporting believed he had been abducted by aliens. i never found the story in halo to be very interesting so a anime version of it really has no interest. | |

Halo Comes to the PS3 in February
On February 9th, 2010, PS3 owners will at long last be able to play Halo on their gaming console of choice ... sort of.
Okay, okay, maybe that was a bit of a cheap ploy, but it's not exactly untrue: You will get to play Halo on your PS3 ... just not in the way you were probably thinking. Unfortunately, Bungie's ridiculously popular trilogy (quadrology?) isn't being ported to the PS3 - but the Halo Legends collection of anime shorts is being released on Blu-Ray.
In case you missed hearing about it the first time around, Halo Legends is a collection of eight episodes telling seven different stories set in the far-flung future universe of Halo, created by five prominent Japanese animation studios: Bones, Casio Entertainment, Production I.G., Studio4C, and Toei Animation. The Blu-Ray release of Halo Legends will hit shelves right alongside the DVD on February 9th, reports Blu-Ray.com, and will include "several hours of special features, including a BD-exclusive overview of the Halo universe up until the end of Halo 3."
True, this isn't quite as earthshattering as if this were the actual Halo games - quite easily Microsoft's flagship series since the launch of the first Xbox - coming to its mortal enemy's console ... but even so, it's not the sort of thing that would have been easily imaginable even just a year or two ago.
The best part about the whole thing (other than getting to watch Halo Legends in HD, of course) is going to be watching the die-hard Sony and Microsoft fanboys try to process the information without admitting that Halo is actually pretty cool and that Blu-Ray is an impressive technological format, respectively. Maybe their heads will explode. We can only hope, right?
