Pfft. They let the PS3 owners watch the anime, but not play the game? Wow.

Funny, i was JUST watching the "All Your History Belongs To Us" Machinima series on Halo, but yeah i wasnt expecting the whole series to be ported, something would have been leacked years ago about it and the flame war would have become a firestorm. Cookie for telling me what a firestorm is without looking it up you shmarties.

Haha, way to grab attention there, Funk. I expect this bit of news to reach the Most Popular tab by the end of the week.

The cover picture in the first post looks idiotic. That is all.

Why I oughta...

Yeah. I was all like 'whoaa' but then I was like 'hey, hang on, Microsoft would never' but then I was like 'Hey, I trust The Escapist' and then I was like 'yeah but no but yeah but no but it can't be truez!'

Then I clicked on it. Ho hum. But, I would imagine that this will be one of the higher-viewed news stories. Respect, Funk, respect.

CantFaketheFunk:

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?

Halo sucks & Blu-Ray is unimpressive. I win

Halo Legends looks like a load of BS. Dinosaurs? Over sized brutes? Power armor? I'll pass thanks.

let me just tell you that those studios are quite capable of making awesome series...

but yes, i can see the disgust in seing a beloved and very american game being "Japanimated" and if its "Japanimated for western audiences" it will be much worse jeje

1) I don't like Halo.
2) I don't like anime.

This sounds great! In fact, if I could think of the perfect personalised torture for me, Halo Legends is it. So why should I care for it in HD, so I can watch Master Chief's visor in better definition? Woop-de-fucking-doo.

Somewhat unrelated: Microsoft should port Halo (teh f1rst won) to the PS3...

I'm serious.

They ported the flagship product over to the PC while the original XBOX was in production, if for no other reason than to get PC gamers to buy an XBOX and Halo 2. Why not do the same thing for the PS3?

In fact, the PS1 emulator on the PS3 most likely has a good deal of code from the Virtual Game Station (an incredibly efficient Play Station One emulator) made by ...(drum roll)... Eric Traut of Microsoft, and I don't think Microsoft has received a dime in royalties. Eric, btw, is also responsible for Hyper-V, the free Virtual PC, and had a huge hand in the Windows 7 kernel.

But the biggest thing he should be known for, aside from the Virtual Game Station and the pivotal court case surrounding it, is backwards compatibility on the 360. Running x86 code on an in-order risc-like PPC core is no small feat.

Sony OWES Microsoft, if for no other reason than the simultaneous multi-threading and the rich set of SIMD instructions in the PowerPC core that the toshiba/sony + ibm team did not need or want. Making games on the CELL processor, as difficult as it is, would have been much more difficult without those features.

Well, I've managed to get way off track. So how would you guys feel if Microsoft brought Halo and Playstion 2 emulation to the PS3?

I definitely did a double take on that headline, way to get peoples attention.

I only ever played the campaign of the Halo trilogy and found it average. I mean, I had fun, but I probably won't be playing through them again. I'll probably check out the anime for grins.

Dang it, Funk, you deceived me!

I can't say I'm too interested in this. I'm a huge anime fan and I kinda like Halo, but I never especially wanted to see Halo Legends.

Damn you Funk.

I'll get you for this. Maybe I should release some kind of ridiculous eroge game that involves the President of America being replace by some little gi-- eh, I'm being ridiculous. Nobody will find that funny. Not even if I give it a ridicolous Fox News type anchorman voiceover.

Dang... wasn't fooled to that extent since my 1st rickroll. x_x

Meh oh well, I don't see this as a big deal. Blu-Ray is just a movie format. Even if Sony do own it or something, it's not that major. I mean would we be that surprised if we saw some Sony owned movie on the Live movie rental service?

I mean yes there was a point where PS3 was the primary Blu-Ray player of the market as it was the cheapest way to get one, but now that's changed.

Anywho, I guess... congrats? :S

Oh snap, you totally tricked me! :(

I'm willing to bet a good 3/4 of the people in here, if not all of them, were decieved.

As for me: I am of no exception.
Still pretty neat that it's coming to Blu Ray, though.

I'm not the only one who knew he was talking about the anime just going off of the headline, right?

Thats the "screw around" episode of the eight, and its the only one thats not canon. The other seven aren't nearly as ridiculous.

A Halo video, on Blu-ray.... Something Halo that can never be played on a 360...

I think my brain snapped trying to process the irony.

un-LESS... *gasp* Maybe THIS is what Ballmer was thinking about when he slipped up about the Blu-ray accessory and the 360! What better time to release a Blu-ray add-on than with a Halo Blu-ray disc!

( Yeah, probably not. But if so, then I totally called it. :P )

I was duped! :O

Anyways, thats cool. I remember seeing the first five minutes of the anime but I didn't really like it.

That was a specific segment if I recall correctly: there will be several segments, like the Animatrix, so maybe another one will suit you better.

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?

All questions that shall be answered in time, dear friend.

Of course, Anime has always been completely rational and self explanatory.

Right...?

Oh ok, I thought all the episodes were just inaccurate and not true to halo. That's good then, might check it out.
