MS Press Conference Halo 3 rundown

Microsoft teased all of us with a nice look at a live action Halo 3 trailer directed by Neill Blomkamp, the man who was originally set to direct the Halo movie. Men in UNSC armor, dozens of Warthogs, a huge fleet of Pelicans, Pistols, and soldiers setting out for a battle. It doesn’t signal at an official announcement for the Halo movie, but is bad ass none the less.

This was followed by a new announcement of a new Xbox 360 for the Halo 3 release. A green Xbox 360, with a Green Xbox 360 controller. No specific details on what makes it special beside the green color, but expect it to be released this September with the Halo 3 release. Shortly after that Peter Moore had to finish the fight for Halo 3 by setting us up with another Halo 3 trailer showing of a triad of Single Player action scenes.

So simply this, Halo 3 comes out September 25th, a special edition Halo 3 comes out the same day, and Neill Blomkamp shows that he would’ve been a good choice for the halo movie, and Peter Moore is a massive tool without a tattoo.

360 controller keyboard update

360 controller keyboard

Today Microsoft announced the price, release date, and even the name of their newest peripheral for the 360. This peripheral is, simply put, a small keyboard. It attaches to the bottom your Xbox 360 controller, wired or wireless does not matter, and allows you to text chat with your friends (sidekick style) on XBL without having a large keyboard. It’s being released September 4 for $29.99 US under the name “Xbox 360 Messenger Kit”. The set also features a wired headset as a bonus, but no pictures have been posted of the headset.

Leaked Killzone 2 Screenshot

USA Today has leaked what Killzone 2 actually looks like! I must say that it looks pretty good so far, but it’s the character’s facial features and expressions that I’m looking for in the next batch of videos and screenshots released during Sony’s Press conference this week at E3. I hope they can match what they created during the E3 2005 trailer! Guerilla Games claims that the above screenshot is 100% real-time.
