During the Comic-Con festivities, Microsoft dropped this trailer for Halo: ODST. And while the meat and potatoes looks just fine, anyone else think the trimmings – the music and voice acting – aren’t quite up to Bungie’s usual standards?
Ummm this trailer has been around for months…. and no i don’t think there’s anything wrong with the music and voice acting. And even if there was it’s just a early trailer that sets the scene – not in any way representative of how music and voice acting will be withing the game play of the finished product.
Plus i would look past anything just to see (or hear) members of the firefly cast working together again.
I’d disagree, sounds much more polished than Halo 3 did, especially with the music. There’s only so many times Halo 3 could play the same theme before I got bored of it.
It’s the audio production. The music is fine, the voice acting is fine – the mix and master of the video’s audio track makes it seem flat, a little bland. If anything, the video production isn’t up to Bungie’s standard.
God damnit KOTAKU, this is the 3rd time in a few weeks i’ve seen embassingly WRONG info when reporting video game news, this trailer was released at E3, do you guys even play games??

Any cast that includes Nathan Fillion is an instant sale for me.

Maybe they are pissed that Microsoft is cutting them loose?

As far as I know, MS didn’t show anything at Comicon that wasn’t already shown at E3.
About the only thing added were the extra justifications for why ODST is now a “full priced” game.
Please feel free to correct.
