343 details how they created the Prometheans in Halo 4
Our latest look at Halo 4 shows off the evolution of the Promethean character design, the main antagonists of Halo 4. This 10-minute ViDoc gives us a nice overview of how the new enemy forces work with all their different abilities, and their advanced weaponry. The Covenant will be around, but the Prometheans are a way bigger threat here. What I really liked from this behind-the-scenes look was how 343 developed the Promethean Knight character. They went through many different iterations before settling on what the thing looks like now. A lot of the prior designs gives off a very anime feel. Some even made me think of Skullgirls. Halo 4 will be out on November 6, 2012. Expect a new hands-on preview of the game to appear on Destructoid soon. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)You can definitely tell that there are some ex-Retro Studios guys working at 343, very Metroid Primey... Watched this earlier. Looks really cool. I was skeptical when 343 took over the series but after seeing what they're doing it seems to me like they're exactly what Halo needed. A nice fresh take on the series. Can't wait. I'm honestly surprised. I was expecting another rehash lacking in innovation much like ODST and Reach, but these guys actually seem to be putting effort into making new and well needed content for the series. If they end up keeping true to their final statements in this video, I just may have to eat my words and jump back into this series. This looks like a fresh breathe into the Halo series, and I for one think 343 did a wonderful job just from looking at this progress. Think I may go over and pre-order this soon now. The new weapons and enemies look fucking awesome and I cant wait to play it, Had this pre-ordered since last year and so far not regretting it.

If there's been on criticism of Halo over the years, it's the relative sameness of the experience. Earlier today during a discuss of the new enemy designs in Halo 4, Scott Warner of 343 industries mentioned that some of their main inspirations for the development of the Promethean units were highly advanced, amorphous foes.more
