Lots of generic rocky places. I've had it with rocky planets.

Give me something lush and alien.

Another generic space station that basically looks like the Citadel, only circular.

I kind of like the 'machine' location, with the pyramid shapes.

Of all the concept arts, I have to say this one is the most interesting to me:

Could it be a rebuilt Citadel Presidium? It had to have taken a lot of damage during the Battle of Earth.

For the record, the Presidium was always circular. Tongue

It's like a giant space stingray. Hmm, what "species" do we know about that bases their shape on fish? Wink

Bravo, Swoby, and I discussed this earlier. It's clearly a reaper asshole.

Halo 4's writer will be ME4's writer?

Any shred of hype I had left has been absolutely demolished.

Its a super mass relay.

Oh come on the story in Halo 4 was good, the only thing lacking in that game was the multiplayer which everyone seems hung up about whenever that game is mentioned.

I have never accepted the "Humans were actually an ancient advanced species on par with the forerunners" direction the story is going in, and Halo 4 canonized that shit and also had synthesis applied by an ancient AI be the only route to victory. Halo 4 is the first time I've beaten a Halo game and come away in a bad mood.

"And don't talk about the ending."

Well if they have to preempt such obvious requests then the question is already answered is it not?

lol well.....at least they know that fans are still bitching about the ending, which i am not surprised.

by ZerebusPrime Sat Nov 08, 2014 12:03 am

The only way I see myself buying the Mass Effect trilogy all over again for the Xbox One is if Casey Hudson somehow snuck in a new and proper ending to ME3 before he left. So basically bribery.

by **DoomsdayDevice** Sat Nov 08, 2014 6:14 pm

All I can think of at this point is that South Park really missed an opportunity to make an episode about the ME ending debacle. With Cartman representing the angry literalist retake movement, making pissed off youtube videos, and the Goth kids as the IT-ers, going 'omg are u retarded? Shepard was clearly indoctrinated. Reapers win, face it.'. And then EA turns out to be crab people or something, I dunno. With Priestly as some kind of perverted troll, jacking off behind his laptop as he sees the Bioware forums explode. Would have made for one hell of an episode.

You're good at this. Go get a job in writing for a show lmao

No no no Cartman would be flame-baiting the BioWare forums while insisting that artistic integrity should be held above all else so that he can make a fortune selling games containing nothing but an inappropriately vulgar end game screen and a sale pitch to buy day-one-DLC to unlock the same screen in different colors.

by Guest Sun Nov 09, 2014 12:51 am

He would be both.

A literalist hater that gets taken in by EA and falls in love with DLC money.

by ericformans_sisterisdead Sun Nov 09, 2014 1:28 am

As a huge south park fan who has seen every ep and loved the recent game (especially the space level and when they make fun of mass effect type audio logs)doomsday that is fucking genius.

Agree with you on Halo 4, but that last line... it certainly wasn't the first time for me
