Halo Fest: Halo 4 Concept Art Glimpse

An early look at some of the concept art from Halo 4.

This video is a cool little thing our video and audio team at 343 Industries threw together to give you a glimpse into some of Halo 4's concept art, atmosphere and aesthetic ideas. Although you shouldn't get too attached to any of the specific ideas or scenarios in here, it does represent some of our early, current and ongoing artistic effort.

This video originally debuted at the end of the Halo 4 panel at Halo Fest during PAX Prime 2011.

I love this song so much

[FilmScoreMedia]

FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG:

It is a track from the Limited Edition soundtrack called "Armor". I'm not sure that the middle section was released though, or if it is part of the song. The very end part with the Halo 4 logo is from the track on the normal soundtrack called "Green and Blue".

when i saw them hurl requiem into the sun all i could think of was, yep you royally fucked up. you literally just threw this brand new world, fresh with all kinds of cool stuff and massive amounts of potential, one that on top of that looked BEAUTIFUL, all into the trash (sun). after seeing that i've given up on 343. the campaign was bad enough but once i saw that. done

Exactly. They said in the vidocs that the evil was going to 'threaten everything', but all we got was a vapourised city. I was also hoping that we were going to go deeper into requiem, really explore and interact with it, but they flew it into the bloody sun. Anyway, lets hope they were just playing it safe for 4, and improve on 5 and 6

exactly. the sole fact that the covenant were back in this game just ruined it for me. i thought the "ancient evil" was going to be a lot more menacing and by the looks of those alien ships in this trailer along with that dark music, i thought we were going to be facing an entirely new, much more evil enemy that made the covenant look like push overs. i really thought 343 was going to change things up, but they gave us the same regurgitated material we've grown tired of from the last 6 games

[Mezworld]

I was hoping for the isolated, alien feel in the trailer. I coulda done without the UNSC or covenant. Just chief and cortanna against a load of prometheans or sentinels.

this trailer made the game look like it was going to be completely new and fresh with the new setting and enemies and what not. sadly it wasn't...

[HaloModder555]

Eww... No.

It sounds like it came from Mass Effect, not Halo. It works as a placeholder for this teaser trailer.

remember when everyone thought we were going to be able to combine and alter weapons and vehicles on the fly? yeah those were the days....

Por que la gente es tan terca y no entienden puta madre, amigo 343 Industries no pudo hacerlo como Halo Reach me refiero a las clases de juego y el Forge por que el engine que carga es pesado para el 360 por los graficos, si el 360 fuera mas fuerte 343 hubiera hecho algo sorprendente mejor espera al Xbox 720 y luego deja salir las palabras de tu boca no sub-estimes amigo te hace daño.

[UpperPumpkin]

Yeah me neither! can't wait for it to be released!

Ahrrg i'm just fuckin' with ya XD
