Halo 4 Global Championship

The battle continues at PAX Prime with the Halo 4 Global Championship powered by Virgin Gaming at Benaroya Hall! Come check out the tournament all weekend long and witness the world’s best “Halo” players battle to claim the title of “‘Halo 4’ Global Champion” and the coveted $200,000 (USD) grand prize. Plus, I’ll be hosting a live stream (that will be available on the Xbox dashboard) of the finals on Sunday from 4p-6p.

The firm will also be kicking off PAX with an official Xbox Meet Up open to the public.

[Iacobellis]

Release date?

 

[TriGen]

Cool. This year's been great for having info spread over a bunch of different dates.

 

[level44]

Hmmm, if new games are shown I think they might be of the indie variety to counter Sony's showing. Also, I think MS have pretty much blown their load on major games with E3.

 

[dragonflys545]

Did they say there were surprises at gamescom? What were they?

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Probably a few indie games. It is PAX, after all.

 

[NateDrake]

Surprise is probably Halo 4 Game of the Year Edition.

 

[Sendou]

Well I do like surprises.

 

[level44]

Release date?

Good thinking. They can't be holding on to this bit of information for too long now, especially if they need to create hype as well.

 

[Impeccable]

Exclusive, "Labradoodle" skin for CoD: Ghost's famous dog!

Line-up, limited quantities available.

 

[Interfectum]

Release date?

prolly

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Fifa bundle and Fable Legends

 

[YuriLowell]

Shitty sports game to get packed into every box!

 

[oVerde]

More info on indie rules and stuff for sure, it's PAX, maybe a teaser with some(s) indie dev claiming to make a game for Xbox One. I don't expect nothing more this late of the road.

 

[dragonflys545]

Fifa bundle and Fable Legends

Oh...

 

[Munki]

- Launch date confirmed for Nov. 8th.
- Madden free for NA pre-orders.
- Epic game reveal.

*crossing fingers*

 

[Anticitizen One]

Maybe some really vague Crackdown teaser since people keep asking about it

 

[shinobi602]

Release date maybe.

 

[abadguy]

Surprise is probably Halo 4 Game of the Year Edition.

Seeing as how they already announced it, i'm thinking maybe not.

 

[op_ivy]

i already have my hopes up that this is where we see spa in forza 5. cant wait.

[Moofers]

So no Killer Instinct?

 

[NoTacos]

What they need to do is announce the release date and give preorders a free game to balance what they're doing in EU

 

[abadguy]

So no Killer Instinct?

It will be there in some form, since DH were hinting about new stuff at PAX on KI Friday.

 

[pharmboy044]

Release date?

 

[RedNumberFive]

Peggle Nights 2

Believe.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

What they need to do is announce the release date and give preorders a free game to balance what they're doing in EU

Would be epic.

Spoiler

I'm sticking with my retarded prediction of a Nov. 5 launch date with free CoD: Ghosts

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Crackdown?

 

[NateDrake]

Seeing as how they already announced it, i'm thinking maybe not.

Resident Evil 5 was a TGS surprise and we knew about it for 3 months. So anything is possible when it comes to MS. Plus we know more info about Halo 4 GotY is coming at PAX.

We know it isn't the release date since the bolded info in the OP says games. Indie games are the most likely bet.

 

[OverHeat]

GTA 5 guys

 

[CrunchinJelly]

So no Killer Instinct?

Yes, Killer Instinct: http://majornelson.com/2013/08/27/xbox-one-at-pax-prime-on-august-30-september-2/

Killer Instinct: “Killer Instinct” is back again with classic characters, an enhanced combat system and vivid graphics – reimagined for a new generation on Xbox One. We expect nothing but the best from a title with a pedigree as one of the most beloved fighting games of all time.

 

[El_Chino]

Didn't CBOAT say there was going to be a surprise at the end of August/beginning of September?

 

[neither]

I wonder if they'll actually release before ps4.
Don't think it'll help them, especially if all those manufacturing rumors are true.

 

[yeehamuffins]

Release date?

I was just thinking this morning, putting out the release date at something like PAX Prime, as opposed to something more "corporate" like E3 or Gamescom, is probably a smart move on MS's part. Gives it an air of talking to the gamers directly, instead of through a bunch of reporters. Plus, as others have pointed out, unless they put together a separate event, there's really no other events left for them to announce it. So, I'm betting probably.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Did they say there were surprises at gamescom? What were they?

On top of the games the big surprise was supposed to be the announcement of the indie dev program that was leaked by GI at the end of last month.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Crackdown?

We can only hope. But I think that was more likely to be shown at GC.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Viva Pinata 3 (Keeping the dream alive)

 

[oVerde]

Phil Fish onstage to demo Fez 2

would blow the stage and everyone's head so hard that would take weeks to clean the mess

 

[abadguy]

"including games Major Nelson said he wasn’t at “liberty to divulge . . . yet"

Seems pretty clear to me it's not Halo 4.

 

[yankeehater]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Crackdown 3!!!!! Get hyped!

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Didn't CBOAT say there was going to be a surprise at the end of August/beginning of September?

He called it a Sept. surprise and it sounded like it could be bad... or a Kinect-less SKU. It was conflicting info if I recall. Who knows?

 

[Anth0ny]

Banjo Threeie

 

[ShinAmano]

- Launch date confirmed for Nov. 8th.
- Madden free for NA pre-orders.
- Epic game reveal.

*crossing fingers*

That would be cool...would be first time ever playing a madden

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

i already have my hopes up that this is where we see spa in forza 5. cant wait.

Sidewinder test track reveal for sure.

 

[jbug617]

My guess is indie titles.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Would they give the release date now, or give it at TGS like they did for the previous Xbox?

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

always with suprises.. and when it comes, the suprise is like a soggy biscuit.

 

[BRocknRolla]

Sounds like a release date to me. Will be nice to put all the theorizing about releases behind us.

That would be cool...would be first time ever playing a madden

Prepare to wonder what all the fuss is about. I love football; diehard college and pro football fan. But "free" is precisely the amount I'd be interested in paying for Madden. It's a shame competition was killed off in football video games. The garaunteed yearly buying fans, numerous though they may be, are continuing to feed a languid franchise badly in need of improvement.

Suprise! EA is a second-party developer.
