I didn't see anything in that article about a new Portal coming. You deceived us, Jeff Gerstmann. You are a deceiver. The king of lies. A pox on your house, sir.
Halo
The franchise that defined the Xbox, Halo contains some of the most popular games ever released. The Halo FPS titles are revered for their excellent gamepad control and high-quality online multiplayer. The franchise now contains novels, soda tie-ins, an RTS spin-off, toys, and more.
Halo To Get Anime Treatment, New "Portal" Coming
The concept of a Halo anime sounds hugely retarded to me, but the animation style looks really nice from that screen shot. Nice bold colors.
"Is this a ODST ore a Spartan? Where their Women Spartans? Is this a women?"Yes there *are* women Spartans. Linda and Kelly are still alive during all the Halo games, and now we have the Spartan III's as well.

" Who in God's name are they marketing the Halo anime to? The Japanese probably won't watch it because of "Pig disgusting American shit," and the large majority of Halo players have their minds set on the whole idea that "ANIME IS FOR KIDS!" "Halo is actually fairly popular in Japan, this will likely give it a boost. And of course anime is *very* popular in the US these days.. Considering the massive line of Halo action figures, etc, I imagine an anime will do very well in both parts of the world. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of anime, but my love for Halo may just take presidence here. I did enjoy the Animatrix..
""Microsoft's internal Halo team"? Is this, like, some type of PR and advertising team that's working the merchandising and public face of Halo...or is there something that Bungie hasn't said yet?Anyways...The anime stuff will be interesting in that "Animatrix" way of thinking. However, NEVER NEVER NEVER put "New Portal Coming" in the headline and not show an announcement for Portal 2!!! My hopes were up...and you dashed them, Jeff!!! YOU DASHED THEM!!!"
Microsoft has been setting up their Halo development team for a long time now. Remember when some high profile guys form Gearbox that went to MS? Yeah they went there. Bungie is no longer the official Halo develeper so to speak. MS is out sourcing the development of ODST and Reach to Bungie, they themselfs cant do anyting Halo related on their own since MS owns the IP. All new halo games after ODST and Reach will most likely be coming from 343 Industries. So if Halo 4 ever gets made. They are the ones that will make it. Or maby a new Halo Wars, that will then be made by 343 Industries if MS doesnt out source it to some RTS developer that is.
Edit: Sorry they are not a developer but a publisher just like you said, though Frank O'Connor is the head guy there. i rememberd it wrong. so in shot ignore just about everything i said :)
