Some of the retail exclusives that MS published for the XB1 were originally going to be on the 360, which is why 2013 was a baron wasteland whereas Sony had their first party studios developing TLoU, GoW: Ascension, Gran Turismo 6, and one or two Vita games.
You already know that Sony's 12 first party studios are working on PS4 games so you have nothing to worry about in that regard. And we also already know that they have second party studios Quantic Dream and Ready At Dawn working on PS4 exclusives. Then we also know From Software is working on an exclusive Souls game for PS4.
And idk where you're getting this zero hype for "The Order," that game looks amazing and is coming from RaD. It will be great and it's slated for this year.

Didn't mean to derail. Was just making that initial comment because MS has been going against the grain and talking about this stuff before E3 even happens. Hype intensifying.
"We felt separating health and shields was only confusing players. We're also removing cheesy video game elements like health bars in favor of something more visceral."
"The new tactical grenade slot unlocks a ton of possibilities for intense, strategic combat."
"Personal ordnance didn't offer enough 'oomph' so we're taking a different approach and giving it more direct offensive potential."
But last year's E3 was better than Sony's and they're saying they're planning on delivering the same thing this year. But if you thought their last E3 was boring, idk what they could show off to make you actually interested in the console.
Jesus, you're not even trying to be transparent.

The best things I can say about Halo 4 is that the cutscenes were pretty and they brought back the Battle Rifle, which was great to use in the small instances where the game was fun. The Campaign and Spartan Ops suffered in every facet besides how it looked:
- poorly written new characters like Palmer and Del Rio
- overly linear feel in campaign progression and less sense of exploration than past titles
- aggravating/not fun new enemies to fight in the Prometheans
- sound design was all over the place and most of the changes seemed completely unnecessary aside from 343 wanting to put their own stamp on it. Warthog was particularly egregious.
- overall worse enemy AI than any previous Halo title
- insanely bad connection issues, I rarely got a connection that didn't slow any major encounter into a slideshow
- Palmer in my ear with mind-numbing dialog. Jennifer Hale had more enjoyable lines in Bulletstorm
- motherfucking buttons to press all the time, everywhere
I call Halo 4 a bad game, but I still have hope that 343 can deliver a good one after learning from their in-house mistakes.

Guardians have been in Halo since at least Halo 2. I don't remember if they were in Halo 1.

Ryse. Dead Rising 3. Killer Instinct. Plants Vs Zombies. Forza 5. Titanfall. Kinect Sports Rivals. Sunset Overdrive. Halo 2 AE. Forza Horizon 2?
Killzone. Knack. Infamous SS. Drive Club. The Order. Uncharted. TLOU Remastered.
You tell me. I'm a Playstation guy btw, but their current lineup sucks. The only thing making a PS4 purchase enticing right now for me is the price and the hope that PSNow is up and running (well) later this year like Sony says it will be. Well, that and Project Beast
You realize the biggest sellers aren't even exclusives right? People buy these consoles for the big mainstream multiplat titles. I'd wager CoD sold more X1s/PS4s than any of their exclusives. Indies are also games, you ignoring them doesn't make that not true. You also seem to be ignoring PC/PS4 games like FFXIV
Their last E3 was good, in terms of games I'd agree that they came ahead of Sony; however let me explain my cynicism. The X360 had a great start before MS just dropped it. I've been burned too many times so I'm weary of what they may do. The X1 bombing so far means they'll have to put effort into this E3, which is why I'm actually looking forward to it but at the same time MS has failed me so many times that I can't help but feel they won't live up to it. Hopefully I'm wrong and I'll eat some crow

Same. Hopefully if they continue this trend, we'll still see significant Halo releases in-between.

You don't remember going outside maps in Halo and getting killed by "The Guardians"? lol...
I'm not saying that customisation would be a good thing.
Chances are it isn't though, 343 saw the backlash from Halo 4. Maybe it's just a different model.
What's wrong with the Warthog?
The driving in Halo is almost perfect.
I stated this yesterday and I'll mention this again.
I can't tell if MS revealing Halo 5 now is a good or bad omen for their E3 conference. On one hand you would think that games being reveal prior to E3 is an indication that their E3 conference will be packed with games. On the other hand Halo 5 is the biggest game that MS could have revealed at E3, why do it now...

If the lady Spartan at the top is Cortana I will be very interested in Halo 5.
Right now my hype for this game is simply "ntkrnl and CBOAT were right," they really need to hire whoever designed the multiplayer for Halo 1, 2 and 3
EDIT: Nope, it's another man ;_;

Look, his visor is still cracked! I am guessing he is going to be going against this spartan. I think the cloak is what fans suspected from the trailer, it wasn't to protect him, it was to have him blend in because he went rogue.

Dude, this is a Halo thread. This has been discussed ad nauseum.
Just the fact that you list leaked games and non-exclusives in one side but not the other should clue you in that beyond being off-topic, you have clearly lost all objectivity on this subject.
Um what in the living hell is happening...If Halo 3 ODST isn't good i don't think i like halo

Yes! This new spartan is hunting John down, and we switch between them throughout the game. I love it.
It's been announced for a year. And this is the beginning of their lead up to E3. They want to do what Sony did last year and make people hungry for Xbox One. They want to knock Sony off their throne and the way this build up has started they very well might. At least in terms of excitement for a console.

I don't like that the Chief is on the bottom part of the cover art. He's the main character and the Xbox's mascot in my opinion so why is isn't he displayed as prominently as possible? I don't like the font either. Overall not a fan of this cover art.
On a less critical note I'm surprised that the Chief is still wearing his Mk. 6 armor after Halo 4s ending.

So you're comparing a lineup with stuff MS hasn't even announced to Sony's without any of their indie, F2P hits, or smaller gems like Resogun. Seems like a legitimate, objective comparison to me.
MS is going to show a Halo for this year (the "journey") on E3.

They could do with it coming out this fall, and I hate the cover but I'm looking forward to seeing this.

This is Halo, though. It's their biggest franchise. I just don't understand why they wouldn't unveil Guardians on stage.
MS hitting the panic button.

My dear man, you are terribly mistaken. As a professional Wheelman, I can say with absolute certainty that your opinion is factually incorrect.
Thank you and have a wonderful day.
If they were smart they'd use this opportunity to leverage the OTHER Platform they have that is flailing and could garner them a large spike in sales for the game:
Halo 5 on Windows 8 available on Steam.
Boosts Halo 5's potential audience tremendously, re-unite with an old fan base, bolster Windows 8, etc. It makes too much sense for them to actually do it.

Every one of those games is an exclusive, so I have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
ANYWAYS, I didn't play Halo 4, as I don't own a 360. If MS drops the price @E3 is Halo 4 still worth checking out at this point?
I think it's more so to gain mindshare right into E3.
Wouldn't be surprised if there's a few more pre-E3 announcements coming soon.

Possibly to prevent another leak? This has happened before, a threat of a big leak incurring, then a company announce what would've been leaked as damage control. My own personal opinion is that Halo 5 will take a backseat to Halo 2 Anniversary, and if the rumors are correct, the only thing for Halo 5 we'll see at E3 would be a tech demo. (which I'm quite excited about in it's own right)
lol get real
