That cost should be alleviated with much better tech. Regardless of how the Xbox One stacks compared to other devices on the market, it's still leagues more powerful than the 360. It will still look great.
Gameplay first, as always.
I thought they were much smaller? This thing is like the size of a planet.
Really? OK, that's reassuring to hear. Strange they didn't just come out with the name then.
If you read the books, War Sphinx are more alongside this
Than this:
but 99% it IS a War Sphinx anyway
There are many many speculations on what that thing is, even some dormant medicant bias incubated machinery were brought to the table.
Hmm...
You monster.

It's pretty incredible really.
Give me the "free"-roaming, exploring and unrestricted gameplay of Halo 1 and I will literally run to the nearest store to buy an X1.

I have only played CE on PC. To me it did feel a bit odd at 60FPS.
That said, I am all for Halo 5 (or whatever it is) being 60fps. 60fps is always a good idea. Again, this is the one and only game I have ever felt like something was "off" after playing it at 60fps.
Probably something to do with it being designed at 30fps, and animations and physics were probably locked at 30 or something too, who knows it has been a while.
Gameplay played second fiddle in Halo 4.
The actual shooting was also fucked in Halo CE PC.
The hitboxes and netcode were totally screwed up, had to lead the player by a fair bit in order to hit the target.

The way that M$ and 343i are hesitant to name this new Halo really makes me think that this will be an inbetween installment, like an ODST type thing. Either that or M$ is going to make Halo a smaller release, but annualized a la Call of Duty.

It's a very solid start but let's hope it doesn't drop off in years two and onwards. MS has a habit of that.

Why wait months just to reveal the game is called Halo 5 like the E3 clip originally was going to show?

Where'd this come from?

Perhaps if the game ends up turning out shit, it gives them a chance to not call it Halo 5.
Halo? Yes, incredible. Paying a publisher that you're well in bed with for console exclusivity? Not incredible at all.

Game development didn't drop for 360 until MUCH later than year 2. I'm just going to build a new PC in 3-4 years and be set.

Incredibly smart?
I'm doing the opposite, sticking with PC for now and getting a next-gen console in 3-4 years.
Waiting for them to build up enough compelling titles.
The great thing is, I don't even need to spend money on upgrading my mid-range PC I built back in 2010.
For real? Jeez
I wish it didn't.
Halo 4's quality was questionable, even with a 3 year development cycle.
The Halo franchise is in it's lowest point. That's a fact.
If Halo 5 disappoints, it'll be over. They need to make sure the game is FANTASTIC, with amazing graphics, multiplayer that the community wants (no COD rip-off again) and feature complete... Which I think is going to be REALLY tough on 343i, specially on 2y dev cycle.

Well they announced 60FPS and Dedicated servers at E3 so yeah...

Hah, they've actually replaced it now with the E3 one.
It was up for months on the Axis site and no one noticed.
Back up saved here.

Had no doubts. Can't wait to be honest. It will be interesting to see where the story is headed and to see if 343 listened to the folks about the multiplayer. Either way it's going to have damn tough competition from Destiny. Should be interesting.

Publishing great new IP's is smart. Throwing money at "problems" (aka: competitors playing games you want to keep all for yourself) is business. And not particularly good faith business, at that, especially for the developers.

Because the marketing department is pushing for Halo One.

Pretty annoyed, but wouldn't be surprised, again, due to them making it "The Halo Saga" a continuing endless storyline, instead of having very defined "Covenant Trilogy" and "Reclaimer Trilogy" with beginning middle and end.
As a ridiculously huge fan of Halo, I have never been more troubled about the series. And I loved Halo 4.
Playbase after a year? Reception from fans?
Ermmm....do you think so? My experience has been that a stable 60 fps is more desirable in gameplay in basically any game. One of the great things about Halo, even in a 30 fps setting, has been responsive controls. I imagine the rendering engine outputting at 60 would only aid this.

Meh. Seeing as I thought Halo 4 sucked, I could really care less at this point. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I honestly haven't been excited over a Halo game since Halo 3.

I have a few more years in my current rig. If I had built mine very recently, I might be more likely to follow your course of action.

Yeah, this game is being cranked out way too fast. Essentially less than two years of production from a company that just finished Halo 4 a year ago more or less?
Come on, MS.
Come on, MS.

I really have Halo fatigue, but I thought Halo 4 was a fine fine piece of work
. I'm not excited, but I expect the production value of this game to be high af and the new standard by which all console games are judged by.
Eventhough I had Halo fatigue before it came out, never finished the game, rarely played multiplayer, and ended trading it in
Lowest player numbers
General consensus on the gameplay and the direction Halo 4 took the series was poor
Its not looking good right now.

I'm interested in how that huge machine factors into the gameplay. Will it be a scripted encounter or boss fight, or something else?
Are people really still writing MS out as M$? It's so childish that it takes away any serious point your making.
Or they may be doing away with numbers, like Killzone: Shadow Fall. Doesn't have to be a smaller game, KZ is excellent.
