Isn’t it weird that the first real halo gameplay reveal is gonna be a few months before launch, not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing?
Maybe good in the sense that it means there will be a very strong sense and concentrated marketing effort over a short period of time.

I hope trailers are not just of the games we'll have seen gameplay for. When you watch a porn film, certainly a trailer afterwards is by then way too late.

Trailers and teaser trailers are exciting.

Halo reveals always have been like that actually.... Look at Halo 5: Guardians - 1st gameplay was E3 2015 and Announcement was 2013.. Halo 4 gameplay reveal was E3 2012 (same year it launched) They normally don't show anything campaign related till 4-6 months prior to launch.

Sony is a company these days that live in their own bubble. I've worked with them in the past and trying to get anything out of them is like pulling a 5 year olds teeth.

And I don't mean that in a mean or dick way, but rather being able to find the right people to get in touch with or build a good business relationship was/is a lot harder for me than it ever was with MS.

I'll give you 1 example, I requested an invitation to E3 2018 via a month before in advance. The guy took a week to respond and gave a shitty response of "we got your inquiry, but no promises" fast forward to the week before E3 I still had no answer. my flight was on Saturday to get to LA and the confernece was on Monday the following week. So at this point I thought oh well, guess not gonna go attend their confernece physically.

Then by some miracle on Friday the day before my flight I get the email with the invitation so go figure lol. Obviously I was happy, but the way it was handled is not how I liked.

Call me an entitled asshole, but sending out invites at the last second without any other communication in between is just strange to me.

Meanwhile, with Microsoft it's like text messeging when it comes to emails with them and there has never been any issues or declined requests.

Either way, next gen is hype and I am excited for both tech giants to produce great quality stuff and doing my best too work with them and see how the future of the industry shapes.
That's the primary difference between a company that makes hardware, vs a company that makes software, limited hardware, & services

SOO CLOSE!!!! It may sound crazy... the third party game I want to see the most is that supposed Harry potter game from WB. If they show that thursday I might pass out from over excitement.
It would be doubly amazing if they pulled an "Arkham Asylum" and more or less ignored the movies to pull ideas straight from the source material. We've seen the movie verse represented in over a dozen games already (including lego), and the books are rich with details that would be awesome to see in the games. Plus, a visual style inspired by the US book covers would be sick.

I'm trying to remember how they handled previous Halo games... Can't remember how long before launch they would show gameplay.

I’m excited for Halo: Infinite assuming they’ve been trying to make it a masterpiece multiplayer game with excellent campaign to boot

Cannot wait to see what’s revealed with Halo

Besides that, and Gears of War games I’ll be able to catch up on, as well as Resident Evil games, I’m kind of unsure of what else I would be playing? Banjo Tooie, maybe Nuts and Bolts, and actually, if there is another Elder Scrolls, maybe I would make that one my first RPG on an Xbox game

I’m fairly interested this time around, Xbox1 I had no interest in lol

No. We had a Halo 5 beta in December of 2014. 11 months before launch we played the game. What they are doing with Infinite they have never done with a Halo game before

I expect nothing next-gen looking, but just Ultra settings like the pc version of those games. The real next-gen games are when Xbox and PlayStation reveal their first party games.

MS reallllllly need to knock the July event out the park. Can’t lay another turd especially if Sony’s June event is as good as the rumors are saying. Show us this power that they keep talking about

The format of the show should copy what Nintendo does for their Nintendo directs.

July event is going to be amazing. They'll probably show games for the next 2 years with a lot of heavy hitters. Hope they are able to make a great show out of it.
