Two upcoming sci-fi system exclusives, Halo: Reach and Metroid: Other M. get a pair of intriguing live action promo clips, which you can see here...
The Remembering Reach live action trailers for Halo Reach that have been released this past week have been combined into a single three minute movie, depicting the human colonies coming to terms with the ill-fated war that awaits them.
This short is the latest in a long line of classy advertisements for the Halo franchise, with Bungie clearly having a keen eye when it comes to representing its most valued property.
The clip is entirely character-driven and has a very sombre tone that, from first impressions, at least, will continue throughout the Reach campaign.
Along with generating hype for the next instalment in the Halo series, it should also be noted that releasing a highbrow live action short such as this will inevitably stoke the fires of the dwindling ‘Halo movie' flames, inciting fans to hop back into that rumour mill all over again.
Metroid: Other M is due for release in the UK on 3 September for the Nintendo Wii, while Halo Reach is set for a 14 September launch on Xbox 360.
