Fourteen years old as of yesterday. A 3 BILLION dollar franchise and STILL no theatrical adaptation.
What is wrong with filmmakers? In pre-Avatar Hollywood this would have been the 2 Billion dollar movie.
>>62785352
Too busy remaking Rush Hour and Uncle Buck

They were trying to make it for years. It got stuck in development.
>>62785352
>STILL no theatrical adaptation.
Because no one wants one.
>Wanting a movie adaption of a First Person Shooter
Even the official novelization for Combat Evolved was boring as shit because describing gun fodder filler is boring. Videogames are stuctured inherently differently because you control it. Plus every live action Halo special to date has sucked ass. Drop it Frankie.
Its about the rights to the movie.
They actually almost came out with one a while back but scrapped the project. Theres still some good footage on youtube somewhere.
They'd rather do crappy miniseries than a potentially epic movie franchise.
The fall of reach would have been the perfect book to write a movie script off of.
There is so much character in the series that the games fail to show.the books are where its at.
You really can't condense the plot of Halo into a two hour film, it would seem so rushed.

>>62785489

>mfw Bungie got out before Microsoft began whoring the name like crazy and diluting the quality with rushed development and endless sequels

Here's the thing, its the video game movie curse. Microsoft doesn't want to eat a million dollar shit sandwich that harms the brand if it does poorly at the box officebut then again they don't need a movie to do thatWill Warcraft break it and prove theres money in it? Unlikely
>>62785664
First game was great but then it started to take itself too seriously and focus on gay alien drama, such a shame.
I just want a movie where Humanity isn't this 'noble, overcoming all odds, ubermensch' species that miraculously beats the alien invaders with our ingenuity and force of will.
I'd rather see a movie where Humanity is locked in a desperate, ugly, struggle for survival and in the process is forced to discard all of its abstract values like liberty, morality, valor, gallantry and ultimately has no choice but to relegate control of all its institutions over to superintelligent AI who operate on cold-logic.
Aliens movies are typically so "Rah! Rah! Humanity!" it's sickening.

>>62785352
Its shit, the story is shit, the characters are shit, the enemies and bosses are shit the weapons are shit the protagonist has no face its all shit do not ever want.
>>62785755
and here I am, still buying the games because I have literally nothing better to do with my money
>>62785815
Kek, nope.
Reach still had a great Campaign, the artstyle was Bungie attempting to inject realistic military utilitarianism into futuristic Sci-Fi. 343 fucked everything right up, Reach was different, maybe even a bit worse, nowhere near franchise killing. Custom Games were GOAT in Reach.
>>62785489
The first game would make for a pretty decent sci fi adventure.
Act one is escaping the covenant and crash landing on Halo.
Act two is exploring Halo and covenant ship to find out why they are obsessed with it. Meeting with the monitor who explains shit around the time the Flood show up.
Act three would be them battling the flood and escaping as they trigger the self destruct or whatever.
Keep the characters to a minimum, just have Chief and Cortana who maybe bond during the movie, plus Johnson as a sidekick and the Monitor for exposition.

>>62785733
The Master Chief saga is tiresome and they keep inventing ways to try and revive it.
Reach on the other hand, was fantastic. They should do more standalone stories, it might make the campaign worth playing.

>>62785889
>bungie butchered it with that atrocious last game
What? Halo Reach did a fantastic job of depicting the Fall of Reach as a depressing, hopeless struggle.
Even though you knew the ending (the tagline was literally "from the beginning, you know the end) it was still an amazing story to see unfold.
Or are you butthurt that they just retconned a shitty book with a slightly better story?
Regardless, Reach story alone deserves a movie.
And not a halfass gay fucking shitfest like Forward Unto Dawn. Even if they just used the graphics from Halo 5's cutscenes or even Halo 2 Anniversary to make a movie, that would be amazing.
Tell them to make it count.

because it's shit
>a theatrical application of a franchise that is basically "madlibs: successful sci-fi"
I mean I get that hollywood is getting so derivative they're not even waiting a full decade to remake shit anymore, but there is absolutely nothing unique about halo. Which is saying a lot, considering it's competition.
The series is popular because it got normies and retards into FPS by making the genre slow, simple, and easy. How do you translate that to film?
>>62785973
Sandbox was way too barebones in 3. Reach was the jack of all trades, master of none, but it was hardly franchise killing.
>>62785952
>halo reach has a better story than fall of reach
I've been arguing about how shitty reach is since the day it's come out, and I've NEVER heard anyone claim this
>>62785947
>reach had one map worth using for forge
Nope, DLC maps had their own unique canvas's for Forge.
> the forge community was not as good.
It was much better you actual moron. There were more shitty maps, but there were some fantastic maps and mini-games, much more than Halo 3. Halo 4 put the customs community to bed with it's shit customs support. Reach customs were objectively better.
Also filmmakers hate the idea of a faceless protagonist, even though it kind of worked in Dredd
>>62785952
>Or are you butthurt that they just retconned a shitty book with a slightly better story?
pretty much this
that book more or less established the EU and associated canon, and is probably the only one that could be taken seriously as a piece of literature and yet bungie and 343 feel the need to disregard it
>>62785996
also, remember how the doom movie turned out?
>>62786016
Regardless you have to agree with me - if it were any Halo story to be adapted on a big budget big screen, it would be Halo Reach/Fall of Reach.
Harvest has an honorable mention.
The defense of Earth can be a sequel i guess. They'd have a hard time depicting Chiefs time on Halo into a good movie though.
>>62786017
>>62786017
>more good custom maps in reach than 3
Guess you didn't play 3 enough
>>62786016
I mean, the Fall of Reach actually covers proportionately less of the Fall of Reach than Reach does. It's mostly about the Spartan II's in boot camp. Bungie could've thrown in a nod to Fall of Reach if you had some awesome level where you fought along Spartan II's.
>>62786036
Contact Harvest is alright too
>>62786069
>nod to Fall of Reach if you had some awesome level where you fought along Spartan II's.
I think Jorge was more or less a nod to the Spartan 2's being one himself
>>62785352
>Would have been the 2 Billion dollar movie
Lolno. There is no such thing as a successful & quality videogame-based movie. They are all shit. You cannot adapt a game into a movie properly, it never works well.
>>62786064
It would be fall of reach, if halo reach was chosen it would be garbage.
Halo: The flood would be the sequel
>hur dur Reach retconned Fall of Reach
GLASSED PLANETS HAVE BAD RECORDS
No one really knows for sure what happened on Reach because the planet got glassed to hell.
>>62786067
Nop.
Every custom game in 3 could be replicated in Reach, and Reach added a ton of options for customs for it's own customs. Literally objectively better.
>>62786108
Literally an ONI shill
>>62786108
What exactly does it even retcon? Why can't they exist side by side?
>>62785931
Yeah exactly.
Something that really highlights the depth of human depravity when survival is on the line. I'm tired of humans being this 'savior' species who uphold all these 18th century liberal values and are a beacon of righteousness, fairness and enlightened thinking in a galaxy inhabited by space barbarians or zealots.
Humans aren't nice.
We put on a good show when it's for our best interests, but human history is irrevocable proof that we are a dirty, ugly, vicious, and our celebrated 'morality' and values are the first things to go when push comes to shove.

What a fucking American game.
>>62785647
That's the commercials for Halo 3, not an official trailer
>>62786152
Apparently Fall of Reach happened over the span of a single day while the game took over the course of a few days.
>>62786203
I'm pretty sure at the time that there was hype because Neil Blockkamp or whatever the fuck his name is was going to make a Halo movie and this was sort of a teaser
Then he said "fuck this" and made District 9 instead
>>62786203
no, the commercials for hal3 involved the museum of humanity stuff, talks from veterans from the war, and the one CG trailer with chief and the bubble shield
>>62786268
Pretty much everyone said "fuck this" and just let bloomkamp make whatever he wanted. As halo has simply nothing to offer. Its the story of an invincible flawless asexual supersoldier killing all the aliens and saving all of humanity over and over again.
You can't make a movie about that.
>>62785870
>great campaing

And those clips. The guy just mixed them up
>>62786437
Now Nightfall, now that is true heresy.
>>62786069
That is a huge part of the story though. The bootcamp gives spartans an entire origin story. Without it, its just "a cool robot with spaceguns shooting aliens" where nobody gets emotionally invested and it turns out like garbage.
Reading how spartans were trained and created was the best part of the entire story.
Without it, mastercheifs whole team turns into litterally who's.
>>62786345
so don't make it about chief. even now, no one made anything staring him aside from his younger self when he was still a normal human.
anything that has any actual story focuses on people other than chief, see Forward Unto Dawn where we are introduced to lasky, ODST featured a normal grunt trying to regroup with their squad in a bombed out city, and Reach focused on everything else except for the chief, and the only mention we have of it is the nod when you take Cortana to the ship.

is there a way to filter all tripfags?
>>62786184
Is that what you want or is that what you've been told?
The solution to all of the problems brought up here is to make it about the ODST instead of the Spartans
>>62786393
That's not what happened. The movie was being co-produced by 20th Century Fox and Columbia Tristar. The budget was set at $125 million, but to complete the movie as planned Blomkamp and Jackson wanted it expanded to $150 million.
Fox were fine with this, but Columbia Tristar got cold feet and didn't want to pitch in the extra money, tanking the whole project.
TL;DR, Sony Pictures/Amy Pascal ruin everything. Again.
Also god damn /tv/, not one of you mentioning ODST for best game? The most cinematic, beautiful-looking and noirish game in the series with a god-tier Jazz soundtrack and non-sequential narrative. Clearly the best.
>>62786404
Canada is just an extension of the US.
>>62786425
>go toe to toe with leading military force in the galaxy immediately after discovering FTL without planet-wide conscription
Are you referring to the Revolutionary War? Because the founding fathers were extremely well educated, rich, and had access to the most up to date technology of the era.
>human protagonist nearly single-handedly kills Reaper and stops galaxy-ending event
Are you talking about World War II? Because no single person made a massive difference. Maybe McCarthy, but that was on the pacific front, when the real threat was on the western front.
>still get shit from other races for being too militaristic and actually trying to prepare for the Reapers
What? US military has been a joke for the past 30 years, and we're actively withdrawing from the Middle East, which outside of domestic affairs, is our biggest threat.
>every other race is a collection of stereotypes
Who all think Americans are retards, which is the complete opposite of Mass Effect.
>>62786529
The ones that aren't shit aren't about invincible super-soldiers effortlessly defeating everything
>>62786268
>>62786393
But there was no trailer, the production didn't even start.
>>62786392
Looks like something from District 9
>>62786437
It was surprisingly good and I hate NuHalo. Why did they have to shit all over Chief's design and why couldn't they afford the voice actor?
>>62786069
the book establishes the EU: spartan lls origin, ONI, the future spartan llls, the start of the covenant war, Key's and Halsey's origin stories, and ultimately the fall of reach and the destruction of most of the remaining spartan lls, etc
>>62786437
Forward Unto Dawn was not only surprisingly great once they cut it into a feature-length film, but also a better Ender's Game adaptation than the actual Ender's Game movie.
>>62786558
I like to think most of /tv/ didn't grow up playing captain king saves the universe, so they don't know or care about the series.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRV2MX_5Y0s
It was attempting but it fell through, and at this point Halo has to rip off other first person shooters to stay relevant instead of the other way around.
That and 343 has fucked the plot to death.
Also the plot was never that good to begin with.
Also halo was never that good to begin with.
Also fuck you.
Half Life is better in every way and it doesnt have a movie either, fuck off kek.

only when it doesn't take itself too seriously (MoS) or too flippantly (shoot-em-up). Which halo is simply incapable of doing.
>>62786552
ODST would probably be the best adaptable game. Better world building, interesting cast, higher stakes since they aren't encased in half a ton of super-armor.
I remember playing this at my friends house on his xbox. His cousin would bring his xbox and we'd hook the two up and play his cousin and brother in the other room.
Good time
>>62786669
Just because its been reposted a lot (and it upsets you) doesn't mean it isn't true. Halo was successful because it was able to force the FPS genre to work with god-awful console controls through auto-aim, choice limitations, and general reduction of necessary player action for success. It laid the groundwork for all the terrible games that were to follow in the "console shooter" genre.
>>62786202
You say that like its a bad thing

without all the epic setpieces of a halo campaign, there really isn't anything left of note to the franchise.

>>62786794
Given that games like system shock 2 and Deus Ex had come out a year earlier, I'm not sure what you're trying to prove.
I'm assuming that by "corridor shooter" you mean games like half life, which is still a much better and more well designed game than halo ever was. Half of halo's single player was wandering around corridors anyway. Go replay The Library if you don't believe me. There were one or two fun levels like The Silent Cartographer and Halo, but most of the levels in Halo's singleplayer were hot garbage.
This has nothing to do with /tv/ so this thread should probably just be /trash/ed.
Halo is still the video game equivalent of Avatar. Did a good job popularizing something for the normies, might be good to bring up in mixed company, but if you really look at it critically, it just doesn't hold up.

The PlayStation version of Doom was published and developed by Williams Entertainment and released on November 16, 1995. This version spent six months in development.[15] It is almost certainly the best selling version of the game after the original PC version. It was re-released several times, first on the Greatest Hits range in the US, which requires that games have sold at least 150,000 copies there, and on the Platinum Range in PAL regions, which indicates that it sold over 600,000 copies in those territories.

This is what happens in Halo any time Master Chief isn't around.
The only reason humanity doesn't get wiped out is because Master Chief and Cortana go in and personally kill every covenant leader, disrupt every attempt at activating a Halo, and somehow manage to prevent every Flood infestation.
Before then- and everywhere else the MC wasn't- the humans were dealing with civil wars, martial law, and were losing planet after planet to alien genocide.
When you play as an ODST in Halo: ODST, the entire city you were meant to save gets wiped out from orbit.
In Halo Reach, everybody dies and the planet gets wiped out from orbit.
When you don't get to be MC in a Halo game, the best you can hope for is that you buy him enough time to do his thing.

Halo fans know that Fall of Reach is the start of the Halo saga, but normalfags don't.
>Know that there is some videogame called Halo
>Go to see "Halo: The Fall of Reach"
>Why is it called Halo
>>62786794
The concept of games that were nothing but 8 or so hours worth of completely linear corridors didn't exist until after halo popularized them.
They just released an animated adaptation of The Fall of Reach

No idea if it's good or not

They could just never show Chief out of armour and pull a Star Wars with his regular voice actor dubbing someone else.

>even forge and theater were ass
What?
>(which was possibly the only Halo that didn't feel like a Halo game gameplay wise)
Oh, you're just nostalgiafagging hard.
>None of these noobs remember Marathon
Security Officer > Captain King
Durandal > Cortana
This is fact.

Gotta love how Bungie refused to leave their Marathon lore behind. I really did love how self referential they were. Too bad they're husks slaving away at Activision now.
I read the original script for the Halo movie they were planning.
It was so bad. Be thankful they never made that movie.

This also was the central focus of the last season of Falling Skies. It got a little dark.
>VIDEOGAMES HAVE GOOD STORIES TOO GUYSSSSS
unlike comic books, video games merely exist to engage the viewer through gameplay instead of storytelling.
most games have stories equivalent to amateur fantasy or sci fi novelists.
much like modern hollywood. the storytelling doesnt matter as long as enough money is behind it.
The Peter Jackson Halo movie fell apart because studios couldn't agree on funding and Microsoft was really strict about what the studios could do.
Spielberg's Halo show is still happening at Showtime.

Are you fucking stupid? When did "video game adaptation" mean a verbatim replica of the original's storyline -- including pacing, dialogue, etc.
Why would you bother explaining why a direct translation from the game to film wouldn't work? Whom the fuck are referring to? Jesus Christ you're fucking stupid/

>no co-op on halo 5
I just wanted to play with my little brother on the couch like I have for almost a decade now.
Fuck you 343, fuck you to hell and back. I don't even play video games anymore but halo was a sibling tradition.

Reach can't touch Halo 3 when it comes to custom games. Most of the popular custom games on Reach are direct remakes with improvement to halo 3 classics.

Ghosts of Onyx was good too, but I agree, I was pissed when they just ignored the book. Still enjoyed the campaign, and I liked the astetic.

I bet you're just mad I kept headshotting you crossmap with my pistol in SWAT.
The Halo hype train has been dismantled awhile ago, Halo 4 was an abortion of a game, 343 tried to mix Halo and CoD into a single game and fail miserably, all the ppl who barely got to buh 4 dont care about 5 at all, and we been playing since H1 (CE). The interest for a movie is at the lowest level possible, it coulda been big years ago, probably after 3.

>a guy who never takes off his helmet and his hologram
not exactly a great film setting
>>62785352
Halo 5's plot was basically capeshit in tone and pacing
>>62785755
>mfw Bungie got out before Microsoft began whoring the name like crazy and diluting the quality with rushed development and endless sequels
Only to get stuck with Activision for the next 10 years making a shitty 5/10 franchise - Destiny
Bungie was always shit and retarded.
>>62796496
>and his hologram
Not anymore she's not
>>62785352
If I was making this film I wouldn't start with the story of master chief. Maybe start with the fall of reach and Noble ream, have like a gritty story of their deaths and the begging of the war with reach. Just to give people a taste of the universe
I don't think people want a movie with the equivalent of "superman space marine" who just kills stuff for 2 hours. It just sounds boring

WATCH THIS AND TELL ME YOU DON'T WANT A FULL-LENGTH MOVIE OF THIS
>>62797304
To be perfectly fair, post-bungie halo isn't the reason anyone wants a halo movie.
People want a halo movie because they wasted their childhoods playing that shit.
>>62798660
I don't want a full length movie of that.
>Halo movie past-Halo 3 era
No. Nobody cares.

They said they'll do a tv show produced by Spielberg when XBONE came out... Dunno if it's working.

Nightfall was ok

A well-made movie based on The Fall of Reach would have been excellent.
