Eh?
So are you saying he was simply being technically correct by hinting at the anniversary edition?
No one knows for sure really. If Uncharted isn't this year (which it probably won't) then I would imagine that PS4 version of The Last of Us would be something they would want to do.

Nah that wold be Titanfall.
Quantum Break is definitely not coming out this year.
I'm surprised MS would bank on Sunset Overdrive that much. I love Insomniac as a company, but their track record on PS3 ranged from pretty good to downright bad.
That was one of my first thoughts... I hope not.

listen to the mad man
I'm assuming that's the point of doing a stopgap measure like H2A. I mean, most of our other annualized franchises either need to have "Jr" and "Sr" years or to throw 9999999 people at the problem.
I'm skeptical than Quantum Break is 2014 as well. This is Remedy we're talking about now, and the game has some very ambitious ideas about what it's trying to do with essentially an entire tv season alongside a game.
Surface of Me
I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Both Remedy and MS say it is a 2014 title, and since it was one of the first titles shown for the X1, I'm inclined to believe them.
100% no, just that it's been said it's 2014 multiple times.
Yes?

I was never comparing MS with Sony. Looking at Sony, you're right. There is nothing officially announced for this fall.

Why would they even bother with Crackdown 3 ? Did 2 sell ? I thought the consensus was that the game was terrible.

Why "ugh" then? Isn't it "yay, I loved Halo 2"!
It's going to steal my life again.
And its still coming lol. In the mean time I expect Sunset Overdrive, Fable Legends, Forza Horizon 2 and Halo 2 Anniversary to be their holiday lineup and Halo 5 and Quantum Break to be 2015. Sounds good to me.
It sounds utterly shit to me. Fable has been getting steadily worse with every iteration , Horizon is meh , QB we know nothing about and Halo 2 is an old game everyone has already played.

With Halo CE Anniversary, they left out the multiplayer partially because it would split the Halo multiplayer population even more (Halo 3 / Reach / CEA). With Halo 2 Anniversary being the only Halo game on the XB1 at the time of its release, that wouldn't be an issue.
By what measure?

so a 10 year old game is getting people hyped into spending nearlly half of 1000 on a console lmao

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
I would LOVE for ALL Halos to eventually be available on Xbox One. I wonder if the Halo 2 Anniversary Edition might include Halo 1 Anniversary either via on disk or by download. It would actually be a great pre-order bonus or even a collector's edition bonus.
It's fresh milk, not spoiled.

Do you have some insider information on Quantum Break?
I don't see why it couldn't come this year.
Microsoft bet the bank in 2006 on Viva Piñata and Gears of War (one did significantly better than the other admittedly) I don't see why they couldn't have a line-up of Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2 and Ruffian's game.
There will undoubtedly be other downloadable games in the mix too
Signed a project with MS or just generally signed a project? I did think NT might be working with MS

Why would they include another multiplayer,doesn't make sense.
Legends is Summer 2015 title.
Fable Legends and Halo 2 Anniversary to add to that.

A few things if they are actually going to to multiplayer:
-- Remove superbouncing
-- Fix the fucking shotgun so up close shots always work
-- Fix the auto-aim on the Snipers to prevent no-scopes
-- Give the Energy Sword an ammo limit
-- Fix the geometry issues on some maps (looking at you, Foundation) that cause rockets to just fly through the walls
-- Remove the triple wield glitch
There's a lot of rose-tinted nostalgia for Halo 2, but the reality is that the whole game was kind of a rushed, buggy mess. Fix all that then I'm down. But if it's the same old, same old, I'll pass.

I guess I'm the only Halo fan that finds a new Halo 2 to be unexciting.

Phil said Halo will be out this year, they never said which one.

There are practically no games out there for arena shooter fans, especially on consoles. Halo 2 is one of the best entries in my favorite genre ever. Hell yeah I'm excited.

It wasn't as good as the first, but it had some great ideas and Ruffian weren't really given enough time to make a proper sequel, which is why it felt more like an expansion. A 2 -3 year development time and proper funding for CD3 should make any CD fan very excited.
Not only that, Cloudgine are involved and one of the co-founders is none other than Dave Jones.

This makes no sense at all, all the MS people are talking about Halo 5 release 2014. they confirmed that it will be not delayed not long ago. i doubt Halo 5 and H2A would be released in the same time window, thats nonsense

Oh, ok. I was under the impression they had set no date. I guess that is their big November game then. Makes sense not to have that and H5 at the same time.

If halo 2 is the same maybe with better animations. But same multiplayer! 1-50 ranking and even clans! I'm so in. Give it to the fans MS

Unless it runs on the Halo 1 engine I'm not interested. Halo 2 was when the series started declining.

They played the technical card. Seems they never said that Halo 5 would be out in 2014, just that Halo would be out in 2014...
