Halo 5 is releasing on October 27th, 2015

Agreed. No need to rush it; They already have a solid line-up. Multiplats and exclusives on Xbox One + Exclusives on Wii U. Going to be a good year for me either way.

Yea, QB would probably get suffocated this fall anyways. Give it some room to breathe and release it early 2016 to go against U4's delay. Add in a free Alan Wake remaster if you pre order like the survey suggested, and it'll sell really well I think. Unless Rockstar releases a new Red Dead
 
All 4 are on the same engine, same models, same console and were worked on with MS. I'm sure, as long as 343 doesn't touch it, can handle porting it to x1. I mean Gears 1 was basically a PC game put on 360, and the x1 is a low end PC.

I'd love to see 1+2+3 maps with dedicated servers tho.
Maybe, but it is still a lot of work, and after MCC, they might shy away from doing too much....especially on the MP side of things.
 
So I'm guessing...
7/28 Fable Legends
8/18 Gigantic
9/22 Forza 6
10/6 Tomb Raider
10/27 Halo 6
11/17 Gears of War remaster

Not sure where Rare's game would fit in, but likely a downloadable.

I think that's pretty good but I would put Gears in September also since Forza is still a niche audience. ..put Rise of the Tomb Raider in November with an AC Unity like bundle w/ TR Definitive and put a bow on it.
 
Gives them plenty of time to patch the game before Christmas ;)

I still don't know how to feel about this one. Might be the first time I don't buy a halo game day one. That makes me sad.
 
Agreed, MIND OFFICIALLY BLOWN!! defo i have now gone bananas!
And was that the release date at the bottom? 27/10/15? lord all mighty i cant wait to smash through the Halo 5 single player.

I have to say i LOVE MICROSOFTS HYPE MACHINE!!
They really are masters at marketing thier big franchises and movig units.

Its wierd, no matter how much i see people hating on the xbox one, no matter how many blunders ms has made this generation so far, no matter the fact that i always buy every platform every generation and so have lots to play, I JUST LOVE MY XBOX ONE!!! there i said it

Seriously its a great little console, yes it has flaws as does EVERYTHING but regardless i find myself rooting for the underdog!
I have this feeling that Halo 5 will be the first xbox one game which will truly show us how powerful the x1 is!

I swear i spend more time gaming and using the media capabilities of my x1 the most vs my wiiu, ps4 and pc.
Even now its a complete different console to what was launched and being in the preview program makes me realise that this console will be so much better over time, as am sure the ps4 will too.
I think these consoles, the PS4,X1 WiiU are seriously underrated and being underestimated!

With time i think we will see these consoles shine and give us some real gems.

All i can say is with zelda wii u delayed, and uncharted 4 delayed Halo 5 is going to be my big fall game.
Thanks ms for not letting us down!!
Game on my fellow gamers, and remember All platforms are great.

Bravo sir, Bravo, with this and e3 around the corner, it's just an awesome time to be a gamer.
 
I'm getting an XBone at the end of the year for Tomb Raider and Halo 5. Time to buy a bigger desk to put my Ps4 and WiiU. It is going to be a great year.

Good on you man. I just bought a PS4 for Bloodborne, so I finally completed the current-gen trifecta. I've never been a Halo person at all, but I'll watch this closely to see how it turns out.
 
So what are the chances of a patch coming a month after release now?? I'm going to be on the fence aft the MCC fiasco. Not buying day one for sure, but will buy down the road. The Xbox One needs more loving, cuz it's gathering dust for me.
 
I truly hope 343 knocks this out of the park to help strengthen Halo brand farther with Halo 5. I'll admit that Halo 4 hurt the franchise, but hearing the great things from Halo 5 beta must means that 343 is on the right track.

With regards tp Battlefront potentially taking some of Halo 5 audience, I have to doubt to be honest. Consumers for the generation have gptten used to playing competitive fps at 60fps, which Halo 5 and likely, Call of Duty. Based on those "in-egine" shots of Battlefront, I see the game being 30fps for consoles, whoch would hurt it's OVERALL sales potential.
 
So hard to pick a favorite... the order they showed them in was fantastic! Other Halo trailers pumped me up more, but this intrigues me like none other.
 
Except 343i didn't make the MCC
except they did have a big part in it and guess what it was nothing but problems. They have tons to prove with Halo 5 and I am not convinced they can even though i really liked Halo 4.

I don't have any faith in 343 or microsoft and I will wait to the games out but I just don't expect anything positive from them.

Good job reading my follow up posts right below that.

People keep spouting this... The average consumer doesn't give a damn.
 
How are people defending 343 with MCC. MCC is a complete disaster, and they surely supervised the working being performed in the making of the game and failed miserably. They also failed miserably with Halo 4 (multiplayer). I agree. This is make or break with 343, and the Halo 5 Beta is quite divisive. There are people who like it and there are people who don't, and feel it is drifting away from Halo.
 
Nice. Just watched these on my phone at work. Kind of odd ads, but I am probably just missing context.


Still hyped. October can't come soon enough.

That didn't last long, though, did it?
 
You preordering MJF or will you wait to see how any of these three pan out before you buy? I think I might wait a day or two.

For Halo I will probably have it preloaded because even if there were issues with the online I will be playing the campaign first. For Battlefront I will wait a few hours before diving in just to make sure the online is functional.
 
They are forcing shit that doesn't work because they aren't creative enough to take the story in a new compelling direction that still remains faithful to the original source material. What we have here is a c-tier soap opera just like Halo 4 was.

To be fair, I love the gameplay in Halo 4 so I will keep my eye on 5 but will most definitely not preorder or buy near launch.

What are you even talking about? We don't even know what this game is really about.
 
I have to say that I don't understand the complaints about the UI on MCC, I think it's fantastic for combining that many games and game modes.

Also the netcode in the Halo 5 beta did not have the same issues.

Well considering it was a Closed Beta I would hope not, and it did have issues with finding people and parties, just like MCC. By UI I meant the UI elements like joining friends and playing in parties in the MCC, something thats still a fucking joke

OK MS, this is your big chance. Drop the Xbone to $199 with this bundled in and watch how fast I whip out my wallet.

What the fuck?
 
What the fuck?

Thats cheaper than the newest xbox 360. I'm crying from laughter. Thanks for this.

Why? MS dropped the price of the Xbone last year to the point that you were getting the Xbone for less than $250 at some retailers. You don't think MS can't go lower if it means building up a higher install base?

$299 mite have a real chance

Too high. MS wants Xbones in houses at any cost. I'm seeing lower than last year.

Losing 200$ per console is worse the PS3, there is hopes and then there is idiocy, what you are saying is just dumb. You have to have no knowledge of any business to think 199$ is doing for the X1 this holiday
