Halo 4's launch is but a few weeks away and Microsoft is bringing the big guns to market it. The publisher has sought the help of famed Hollywood director David Fincher (Fight Club) as executive producer and acclaimed visual effects lead Tim Miller (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) as the director of Halo 4's launch trailer and it looks fantastic!
I admit, I normally don't like live-action trailers but this one might make me a believer yet. Also of note, here's the official description from the trailer's press release:
Titled “Scanned,” the trailer is an action-packed cinematic production that offers a captivating look at the backstory of Master Chief, and provides a glimpse of the new threat he will encounter in “Halo 4.” Filmed in Prague, “Scanned” continues the franchise’s tradition of expanding the universe through award-winning live-action stories, adding to the lore and anticipation for the next chapter in the landmark franchise that has sold more than 43 million game copies worldwide and generated more than $3 billion in franchise sales.
So without further ado, here's the trailer in all its Halo lore glory.
Pretty good, no? Even if you're not a Halo fan, that trailer was a sight to behold.
While Halo 4 might have leaked ahead of its release, play it the right way when it officially ships on November 6 for the Xbox 360.
