Good detective work there, but the guy ignores the most obvious conclusion. The fact that it's based on the Goldeye engine doesn't mean it's fake. In fact, it adds more credibility to the story. EA probably saw a $$$ opportunity and used their only commercial DS FPS engine to create a Halo demo (they wouldn't waste their time building one from scratch, would they?)

Good find, I'm convinced

has anyone actually played the tech demo? And if so, can you post a link? btw the engine should be original... the golden eye game was... crap and I dnt want to be reminded of it while i play halo on my ds... wonder if they would use a new plot or a tiein. btw would be nice if thwy included support for the RAM pack, seems a shame to waste it's power when a game so desperatly needs more RAM (patched mph anyone?

)


thx!

As much as I like the DS and everything...I'd rather see Halo ported to the PSP. Controls, graphics, screen size...

Doubt that'll ever happen, but it'd be so much better on that handheld, IMO.

DS touchscreen FPS controls >>>> Analog Nub (

it would use a different engine all together.

Why? What's wrong with the Goldeneye DS engine? It seems fine for a Halo game. You already have dual wielding and what looks like a very decent graphics engine. Just modify it for vehicles, more players in multiplayer, and online, and you're all set.

I would hope they would at least make the engine run smoother. I tried out Goldeneye DS and it was pretty choppy...

If they got the green light they would most definitely create a new engine from scratch.

Halo on DS would the absolute worst game ever. The DS is not made to play amazing games like Halo its made for more kid stuff and more user friendly games. It is never going to happen.

modded ds is for smart people

fixed.

I bet halo ds will eventually be released, give it a couple years. halo 4 or halo 3 pc will probably be out before then.

anyway, I wish the goldeneye mod would be dumped. even though it's a crappy mod, it would still be fun! (besides, I could trick my friends! XD)

Even if some did a full-conversion Halo-escue Goldeneye, It still looks fun and I'd play it.

Halo DS has a chance of being made. MicroSoft isn't terrified of allowing their licensed games get spin offs on the DS, according to recent history. Right now, I think it's a quality issue more than anything else. (and whether or not Bungie is sick of Halo

)

Why thank you. You have just granted me my enlightenment. I surely wish you continue to post with such thoughtful comments in relevant topics such as this in the future.
