That's what you call 4 full campaign Halo games with all MPs and maps included for just $60 in addition to the Ridley Scott Halo show? Come on now. I think it really can be a system seller given the right circumstances and positioning, but I'm just glad to be able to have all the major Halo titles with the Master Chief on my next gen system, especially Halo 4 which happens to be my favorite of the pack. I'm dying to see how much better that thing looks on the Xbox One.
The overall value is incredible in this package. You do also realize that we're getting an absolutely amazing looking lineup of new games in addition to this, as well as the fact that a proper next gen Halo title is following just one year after this one, right? You make it sound like this is literally the only thing Microsoft are offering or dangling in front of Xbox One gamers. Jeez lol.
Didn't criticise the lack of content... more the principle of the thing. Could be the best value for money in the world, it's still basically the most anticipated title on an eighth generation console and it's essentially four games from the six and seventh gen.
TLOU Remastered looks really smooth in 60FPS/1080p. Had a play through of what is probably one of my favourite ever games and, yeah, it was good to do it again, but I wouldn't have picked up a PS4 just for that. It's really great for all the new converts who missed it on the PS3, so that kind of justifies it, but I doubt there's more than a handful of converts on the Bone. This is being targetted directed at people who already know and love the Halo franchise.

I'm a bit sad now. The game looks amazing, but I just discovered a problem with Azure servers and the internet infrastructure on Brazil that leads to more then 200ms even with dedicated servers (TitanFall is an example). Shit! That kind of throw my hype away over all of this! :/
I don't like old game play that feels dated.
Hence why my memories of Halo 2 will remain where they are best, in my mind.
Well if thats your argument then er Halo 4?, its exaclty the same situation as with the TLOU remaster except in this case you are also getting Halo 1, 2 and 3 as well as Halo 4, 2 full 'anniversary versions as well, plus 100 mp maps.
I'm sorry but you are just not fooling anyone and the fact that this is the most anticipated game for many people on here and other game forums shows that your argument is flawed.

Welp, there goes my job.
Yeah, you need to read my posts more closely: I said I wouldn't have picked up PS4 just for TLOU:R and I think Halo 4 is in the same boat. The only dfference is that there's a lot of PS4 owners out there who didn't have a PS3, so there's a considerable market. Whereas on the XB1 there's not very many converts at all... you see my point?
Nope.
What do you enjoy in a FPS then?

Your argument is flawed, though, because essentially you're saying that the only reason that this is a cash grab, "feels lazy", and is the equivalent of "getting fucked in the ass" is because the One isn't selling as well as the PS4. That's ridiculous. Both projects were started long enough ago that no one could know the current sales results.
I will pretty much guarantee you that both came from the same thinking, namely that the exclusive list for this year was thin on both consoles, so they plugged the hole with something relatively easier, namely last gen ports.
Also, don't forget that two of the games on here are from the original Xbox, which is old now and was not a huge seller. It's entirely possible there are people who never really got to play Halo 1 or 2 back in the day who are now old enough.

I'm not the biggest Halo fan (mostly play the campaign and then multiplayer here and there with friends rarely), but I mean this is getting made because there was a demand for it. Halo 4 was good, but from what I heard from a lot of hardcore Halo fans is that the multiplayer was kind of lack luster compared to previous games. So now MS and 343 are taking the time to bring back what people liked while improving the frame rate and visuals, knowing full well not to touch the main game mechanics fans loved so much. And offering it all at a reasonable price surprisingly. <---Yep, what a bunch of assholes. Right?
1. TLOU:R was started in February.
2. TLOU:R has not been pitched as a system-selling holiday blockbuster.
Yes! Thank you. I used to love that map.

The 'converts' they are trying to win are those who went from X360 to PS4. A lot of these people have some of their fondest gaming memories related to the Halo series and I think that combined with the great value of the entire package they will get a fair few of them to buy a second console earlier than they planned.
Yes
Damn that's smooth. Looks gorgeous, though I gotta say, it's the first of the remake maps where the lighting/color is just bugging me -- doesn't feel quite like Halo. I don't know that I'd want it back to all that plain icy blue of old, but the pinkish light with the green accents reminds me too much of Unreal Tournament 3. Ah well, still extremely pretty.

All this Halo 2 stuff is making me excited but I'm really looking forward to playing Halo 1 on Xbox Live.
Yeah, sorry, it's fairly clear what's happening here now. Sorry for my part in it.
Anyway, footage looks good. I haven't played Halo 1 or 2 in a long, long time, so it'll be fun to revisit them.
Two very different types of gameplay from what I've played of both, why even bring up Destiny in a Halo thread?
Wow that's really impressive, this must've been quite a bit of work. I remember playing Halo on PC ages ago, was really annoyed how the animations and physics were stuck at 30fps, for one reason or another. All the games are getting a new coat of paint, 1080p@60fps, this is probably the best HD remaster/collection around.

What you need to clarify is why you think this package is equivalent to "getting fucked in the ass". Because it's a big holiday release? It's a big holiday release because people really like these games and they're coming in a convenient package, with noticeably improved performance, and at a pretty damn good value. You're also acting like this is the only X1 exclusive this holiday. So again, why are people interested and hyped about this "getting fucked in the ass"?
Looks really good so far. Still, a large part of me wished that instead of MCC it was Halo Retrospective Remastered featuring my favourite one, ODST (I can only imagine how beautiful the updated New Mombasa at night might have looked like).
That said, I would agree that this is a case of exploitation of nostalgia except for those who haven't played the Halo games at all, as is with all games remastered (more so coming from last gen as opposed to two gens back). Still, 343i are making enough modifications in form and function to justify the asking price. Sadly for me, I am going to have to wait a year or more before I decide to get a xbone (if at all) but this collection will be my first definite buy (I'm one of few who enjoy Halo games for their SP not MP).

Direct competitor going head to head within a few months time frame. From the same studio (og). Why not. I agree with them... i love Destiny but the PvP is not even in the same universe as Halo in terms of how well it's designed and plays.

Maybe it's dynamic? Rises when you start, setting by the time you finish a match?
I do agree though, I don't like the reddish tinge to everything.
Definitely. Destiny PvP is straight ass garbage. The PvE stuff is pretty cool, but no matchmaking on most of that is keeping me from getting it :'(
3 games from the collection and Destiny are made by the same developer. But really, why even bring that up? Can't people enjoy both?
I know I'm gonna play both for the long whole.
Strikes has matchmaking. And let's wait and see what's Raid about before they put matchmaking. And is it really that important to matchmaking on story mode?
And Destiny PvP is YMMV. Some liked it, I liked it as well. some also didn't like it and you didn't like it as well. It's that simple.
But that's another topic for another time.
so you are afraid people will convert back to xbox?
Not so sure what you are angry about?
