galaxynextdoor: David Fincher and Tim Miller team up with Microsoft to create perhaps one of the most epic launch trailers of all time. Yep, it’s for Halo 4 Let it never be said that Microsoft doesn’t have a fancy for the dramatic. Whenever they launch a big game, they really throw that marketing money around. Look no further for proof than the announcement of David Fincher (“Fight Club,” “The Social Network,” “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”) as executive producer and acclaimed visual effects lead Tim Miller (“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”) as the director of the launch trailer for Halo 4.  The extended two-minute trailer will make its world premiere during the October 18th episode of “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”.  It will be available on Halo Waypoint and the Xbox YouTube channel immediately following the broadcast debut.

Halo 4’s iteration of the Forge map editor is currently under development at Certain Affinity, the development studio responsible for Age of Booty, Crimson Alliance and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary’s multiplayer. The announcement was made during a presentation at Rooster Teeth’s second annual RTX event in Austin, TX.

While a wide breadth of changes and additions have been made to the Forge editor, most interesting are the “Player Trait Zones,” which allow map builders to modify the characteristics of any players that enter the effected area, changing the height of their jumps, the speed at which they run, etc. It’s even possible to reverse the gravity in a given area by using “Grav Volume” field.

Enhancements have also been made to the objects that can be placed by users: Elements can now be locked in place, magnetized and more efficiently duplicated. The editor’s lighting system has also been overhauled; objects placed now cast and receive shadows normally. Finally, a map editor capable of bringing our upside-down film noir Halo dreams to life.
