What kind of numbers did Bloodborne do?
I don't remember seeing it like that in MP. I think it's like Halo 3 or Halo 4 where it's more pronounced in campaign for immersion. Remember we only saw Locke's visor PoV and he has a smaller visor than Chief, whilst also having the Artemis tracking system. Doesn't seem too bad.
What kills me is the ADS. Just watch as Locke picks up the plasma caster and then aims down sights on it. Looks ridiculous.
I don't remember, I didn't even see it on NPD on the second month

I believe they said it will be toned down to 50% with the lighting reflection and wires.
But like Tim said, it will all depend on how it affects gameplay and causes more of a hinderance if it will be included in the final game.
Looked really cool though. I'd love to see how different color of lights would reflect on my visor, like a plasma gernade blue when im in a dark cooridor. mmm yeah gimmie that.

Yeah I've not seen it in any warzone vids either. Still a choice would be nice though.
@ samurai, thanks! I could check out some of my vids on xboxclips. But I get sad knowing I still have 4 months to wait for the game.
I'd be surprised if Shenmue did much better is what I'm thinking.
They should have done a Scarab-esque scene to show the return to Sandbox instead of this 4 player co-op focus.
Either way this looks great. Will likely get this day 1.
Yeah, we worked with the HoloLens team on this, and I guess I just got used to it over the weeks leading up to the show, but even though you see really cool stuff all the way through, the first time the waypoint marker lights up - and basically all you've done is put it on your head and tightened a wheel, the effect is almost magical. You're like BAM WHOA I GET IT and then you can go to the "briefing" and just experiment with tilting your head, occluding the image, ducking down, leaning in and so on.
And it's social - you're aware of the other participants as real people.
There was a thing waaaaay bigger than a scarab stamping destructible buildings in the "fluttercut" after the demo. And you get to fight it.
In a wide open area. With lots of routes and strategies..

This will probably be my only day one game the rest of the year. Still going to end up buying lots of games tho.

If I remember correctly Gaf ranked The Order above Halo 5 on that list of most anticipated games for 2015. I think that tells you everything you need to know about how representative Gaf is for the wider gaming market. Gaf is great because it has some really amazing members who care deeply about gaming, but if you only paid attention to this forum you'd be convinced that Shenmue 3 would outsell Madden. The PS4 subreddit's top post in the post E3 discussion thread was 'Microsoft won", but here on Gaf people are losing their minds because of the "holy trinity". Different groups value different games, so I don't think a lack of enthusiasm for Halo on this forum tells us anything except there's a lack of enthusiasm for Halo on this incredibly niche, ultra-hardcore, Japanese enamored gaming forum. We'll have to wait and see how Halo 5 sells before we can say anything more.
I still find it amazing the ADS bothers you so much.

I don't expect Halo to do super insane numbers anymore given that the market has changed (so many great FPSs out now) and its a console exclusive (just port it to Win10 Thx MS). It'll still do great though.
:O
I think the vertical linear slice is very e3 demo esque, but if you had been able to end a demo teasing an upcoming large scale open fight..... Would have been so good.
One change this year is Nintendo fans didn't really think Nintendo won this year, as they usually do. Never seen it so subdued.
Nope, summer till launch will be full on ship, polish, optimize mode. We'll be doing closed betas and hidden scale tests, and don't forget you were testing some underlying Warzone (technical) systems in Beta play. So it will be thoroughly tested, just not by the general public.
Everything runs on dedicated servers. Campaign co-op, Warzone, Customs, Matchmaking.

Couldn't have said any better. Not to mention, this site already has a bad reputation for Xbox fans from what I've read on the other sites.
Ah well can't wait! Have my LE preorder locked in.

What exactly is the Halo 5 Hololens experience? Is it just a short demo using Halo graphical elements? Is it something you'll be playing the full game with? I'm very curious to know if this is just another gimmicky thing or if it's going to have some actual real-world use. If it's something like putting up the HUD elements on the Hololens while you play on a HUD-less TV screen, that would be pretty cool and immersive.

I find it hilarious that Halo wasn't getting top billing this E3 considering how awesome and fun it looked and the little fact that its an ACTUAL GAME THAT WILL BE RELEASING IN A FEW MONTHS.
Most of the hype was going to 2016, 2017 target renders. Something tells me things will crank up soon especially when Frankie and crew crank up the Marketing.

It's just worse to me in every way. From a lore, visual, gameplay perspective. When you see things like the Carbine ADS, Plasma Caster you ask who was this really for? All it does is take up screen real estate.
How does one get into these hidden tests? Surely ACTUAL fans would be much more appreciative than some paid testers in another country who don't know the first thing about what it means to agree to an NDA.
Also, on an unrelated note, this weekend there's a massive Scottish/Highland games festival up here. Some of the world's best pipe bands, caber tossing, whisky/scotch tasting tents. Supposedly food too but don't know if I'm down with haggis and black pudding. Don't know if you've ever heard of the event that happens here.

The Halo 5 Hololens thing was just a fun little thing they setup for E3, it's not something that's coming out or will ever be available. It had nothing to do with the actual playing of the game, it was a pre-game briefing thing that you attended wearing a Hololens. You got to experience what it'd be like to have a Spartan helmet'ish thing on.
the Nintendo World Championships were stellar at least...
If that doesn't become an annual thing, I'll be sad.
Are any of the Warzone maps planned to be remixes of other Warzone maps? Or are they all totally unique?

Wasn't it confirmed after the beta that it would be possible to choose server location? Barring the fact that it might take longer.
You told me to put you on ignore so I did. Literally 98% of your posts in the threads were nonstop actual swearing at developers calling them dumb fucks because they didn't have server selection. That is not hyperbole either. You literally take it too far in your criticism because the servers are shitty in France or wherever.
Don't even pretend to compare me and my criticism to you and yours. That tirade of yours was in the Gears of War remaster thread where I had to call you on it.
Edit: Here's another great Leyasu post in a thread about gaming disappointments. 343 has said the majority of the games are on dedicated servers but no they're all liars, it's absolute fucking bullshit.
Sweet.

Hopefully you can clarify this. So Hololens IS capable of occluding? Like you can put your hand in front of the projected image and still see your hand and you can do this in the Halo 5 demo?
No, this was a Covenant machine...a new one.

So this means the preview members will be able to beta play then
..Since they are not the General Public, AM I RIGHT? OR AM I RIIIIIGHT?
Depends on the experience, but in ours, people were ducking down below the table height to see that the table edge properly occluded the image.
