Dec 13 2009Looks Promising: Halo Reach Teaser Trailer
This is a teaser trailer for Halo Reach coming out in Fall, 2010. You should probably click the video so you can watch it in HD and get the full effect. It looks pretty bangin'. That's right, I said bangin'. YES I KNOW THAT'S NOT COOL. And neither is your face. Burn, no burn-backs!
UPDATE: Commentary-free video added after the jump for people that like to think their own thoughts. But you should still click-through to Youtube to watch it in high-def.
Thanks to Austin, who may or may not be the guy talking through the whole video (it totally is -- get him!).

Wow, the guy in making the comments is a real moron, the teaser is obviously prerendered, as it has always been with every single halo teaser, and he says stuff like the story being better, how can he say that with less than 3 minutes of video...
4. Tennist0 - December 13, 2009 4:29 PM
just saw this earlier today, OLD! Wow GW, growing out of your blogging prime, eh? pssh, i remember when Geekologie was good.

1) The guy talking needs to STFU. He's worst than John Madden.
2) I don't think that's pre-rendered. I didn't see anything unusual about the graphics being out the realm of the machine's capabilities. Also that looks like its part of the story in the game. If they were doing a pre-rendered deal they would have done something arbitrary like they did with the Master Chief commercial and the two kids in the grass.

Watched the Video Last night. Looks amazing... commentary over this.. well I gotta ask .. does the guy doing the commentary know anything about halo? i mean the very beg. he talks about the "smaller gauss Warthog"? it's a transport warthog...

This isn't a teaser, it's the opening cinematic. I think I read somewhere (READ) that the cutscenes aren't pre-rendered.
Pre-rendered or not, this game looks like teh shit.

Not a big Fan of Halo.... I think there are so many other amazing shooter titles why waste time on halo. HAlo always felt watered down and bland to me.
9. i never back down - December 13, 2009 5:01 PM
I am glad i wasn't the only person thinking the guy needs to STFU.
10. flooktard17 - December 13, 2009 5:04 PM
can i watch this without that guys commentary?
11. Akbar Lightning - December 13, 2009 5:07 PM
ummmm, halo? anybody tried Modern Warfare 2, am i ever going to play halo again? i don't think so...the last add on they made and sold for full price sucked. i fell in love with games on halo, but they gotta up the ante people, dig deep....do something new, spectacular
so far, i'm gonna pass.

Chillout People...
13. Austin (commenter) - December 13, 2009 5:48 PM
Ok you guys can't say shit about any of this because you couldn't do any better. If you could, go ahead, show me up.
But none of you can do better than GW. There is hundered's of things he has to do to find the news, and he sometimes relies on us to get him the news he hasn't seen. Chillout people. Once you make a site that updates instantly, then we can talk

15. bribios - December 13, 2009 6:13 PM
Dang I thought the commentary might have been a joke to be honest. I have to say, it was brilliantly horrible.
I'm sorry @13, I know you're trying to plug your website and make a living doing something fun, but PLEASE don't go to the "If you don't like it let's see you do something better" form of argument against criticism. That argument justifies the works of Nicolas Cage, Micheal Bay and Uwe Boll. It can be frustrating when people who have created nothing bash your own creation, but criticism is part of creating.
Anyway, if you want to create good commentary, don't just give your opinions on things. If you think the armor looks cool or the weapons are shiny, that's great, but it's not interesting to anyone else. You need to provide insight, not just opinion.
Too be honest, video game trailers are sort of an odd thing to critique. You might want to focus more on reviewing released games. You have a lot more material to work with, and any insight you may have to those interested in the game could be useful. We need more reviewers that aren't worried about their sponsors anyway, like the idiots at Gamespot.
Yahtzee is probably my favorite game reviewer out there. Watch his stuff, he'll totally make you think of gaming in a different way by bashing some of the horrible aspects of some of the best games out there. Find your niche and run with it.
16. bribios - December 13, 2009 6:23 PM
Also, write out scripts for your commentaries ahead of time. It'll help you cut down on awkward pauses, and give the whole piece more focus. Practice reading your script until it sounds natural and off the cuff.
17. Austin (commenter) - December 13, 2009 6:37 PM
Well when your making tutorials (which we have 27) you're not supposed to use scripts so I didn't know I needed one for this.
18. Hamdemon - December 13, 2009 6:46 PM
Watching that muted helps drown out Austin's babble. Tricia Helfer introduced it at the VGA's, don't even try and top that.

this game on computer, and Playstation 3 .
This game is my all time favourite.
29. N1ghtbr1ng3r - December 14, 2009 12:46 AM
Dude Austin, seriously, you didn't listen to your "commentary" before you posted the video? I had to mute it so I could pay attention to what was going on (Not like it made much of a difference in the end, 'cause it seems like the same old shit regarding the Halo franchise.). "See those planes? They have propellers, instead of their usual heat things." Classic.

33. ornithoper - December 14, 2009 1:46 AM
This has to be a set-up. One of GW's friends put together a purposefully god-fucking-awful 'review' to rouse people's anonymous hatred and create comment wars.
The only alternative is an unfortunate one - that this is a legitimate attempt at providing commentary to game footage - if that's the case definitely read #15's comments because he actually is human enough to put what's horribly wrong with this kindly.
34. ornithoper - December 14, 2009 1:49 AM
also a big fuck you to bungie for churning out the same bullshit yet again without offering anything new.
35. Rob - December 14, 2009 1:52 AM
@13 and 15
You're right I could do better. Wanna know how without a script? Simple 4 words of wisdom could have made that video a million times better. SHUT THE F*** UP!
I also blame GW for pulling that video making it harsh on all of us. There were plenty of videos of youtube with that Reach trailer.

my god that guy was annoying as FUCK!. "look i think she lost her arm or something..ohh i don't like his mask.....shiny!!!" come the hell on, this video [commentary] was horrible.
39. Anti-Eminent - December 14, 2009 6:16 AM
Wow, um...simply horrible. As the introductory game review for your website, this review was not well thought out. I mean if you want to be seen as more then just some kid with a domain, your review was a bad bad idea. Nobody wants to hear your mindless dribble. Your incoherent rambling made me actually despise the game.
I'm reminded of the principal from Bill Madison, "Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
Is it possible for Bungie to hold legal action against you? You may have actually hurt their profits with this. My 7 year old could have pulled off something better.
Oh and your crying about how you did this at 8 am in the morning...way to stick to your guns. Weak excuse.
Get your shit together, cause you made your website into a joke.
Here's to an infinite amount of negative feedback and a what I hope becomes future spoofing of your review....drink up! Oh and Ireland hates you.
40. Coitus - December 14, 2009 8:31 AM
@17
You should probably use scripts for your tutorials. Gives you a good guideline to follow while instructing others. Otherwise you say crap like :"Different Scenery", "Heat things that push them in to the air", "His sniper rifle is shiny", "He's a bit too big, I don't like that", "I can't wait to see what the multiplayer is like", "Dur hurr". This trailer was literally just released, and whether the visuals are pre-rendered or not a good 75% of your comments were about things being shiny or good looking. It is also really hard to tell from this video if the story is any better. Please, for the sake of the internet pre-plan your videos, tutorials and reviews a little better than this. Youtube is already destroyed by people recording their unwanted opinions for the world to hear.

47. ASDF - December 14, 2009 12:37 PM
At first I thought everyone was exaggerating at how bad the commentary was. They weren't. It's quite bad- but it made me laugh. Sadly he was being serious.
And by the way, the graphics are good because its a fully rendered cinema scene. I don't know if you've ever played a video game before, but they have these amazing quality cinema scenes when either a. its the opening b. theres something really important going on c. the end. or d. when its not released and they want to get people excited. This isn't in game graphics. I hate you :(
48. Lollerjacks - December 15, 2009 5:24 AM
what the fuck. fucking HALO trailers on geekologie! 'THE HELL!? Halo fucking sucks BALLS! get a PS3 and play REAL games. such as killzone 2, which owns halo in every single way.
