Microsoft published it so yes "they did" put it on PC.

They kind of need to, otherwise why would you buy a xbox instead of a PlayStation?
Be funny if they also had some 3rd party exclusives lined up too. . . but of course they "won't count" for one reason or another.
Quite a few ppl here are actually hoping it is.

For the media hub / Kinect / Halo aspect. That's my fear.
too little too late
Please don't have anything to do with kinect.
It's seems like they have to do something, at least for me personally.
I actually liked the Fable franchise, but Fable III was mediocre at best and I have no interest in the Kinect. Couple that with Peter leaving Lionhead, and I'm not sure how that franchise survives.
Forza has always been a superbly polished franchise and the last entry was critically well-received, but isn't racing kind of a niche genre now? How much does Forza really make MS?
As far as Gears, again, my interest in the franchise kind of went off a cliff after 2. I know three is supposed to be good, but I'm curious how well Judgement will perform and if Gears will continue to be a staple of the MS exclusives going forward next gen.
Halo is Halo. I suspect it will always sell millions of copies. I actually enjoyed Halo 4, even though those in the hardcore Halo community don't like and some have publicly said they've soured on the franchise. Whatever is the case, Halo is no longer, sales-wise, the genre king of FPS.
So out of all those offerings, Halo is the only one that I really continue to have any interest in.

Begun, The Second HD Console War has.
In spite of the initial joke response, this can only be a good thing, right? I'd really like to see some new big franchises out of all the Big 3.
Yup it's either a dudebro shooter or Kinect games. I would LOVE to be wrong though.I would be very happy if one or two of those new titles didn't turn out to be Kinect, AAA dark mature shootbang or multiplayer only.
They would basically be giving all the 360 players who they got early this gen to Sony.
They might get the casual market, but who would buy Halo etc.

Halo fans, of course! It's a big enough franchise to have its loyal followers.
I agree with what you're saying, though. It would be a big blunder but as we've seen console makers aren't above making big blunders every now and then.
I don't know, it looks like good news to me actually, unless it really is just Kinect only stuff.Looks like persecution complex is rearing its ugly head again. Oh the console warriors. Sigh.
It is for an exclusive FPS franchise, 10 million is nothing to scoff at.
Well I'm going to be cautiously optimistic that these are indeed real new IPs and not some Kinect shovelware, Microsoft definitely needs to beef up their first party lineup, maybe work on returning Rare to its former glory by beefing it up with new UK talent.

But MS are smart enough to know that making Kinect the main thing and not more of an optional thing is really dumb.
It's even more dumb than launching your console at $600
No, Remedy own the rights to Alan Wake and they self-published and ported it out of their own pocket.
Fuck, the next couple of years are going to be really dumb on Gaf with this stupid console war![]()
They've really become a narrowly-focused group over the past couple years, but you can hardly accuse them of that over the entire life of the 360.
In the first few years of the 360's life, they tried a lot of things to get interest going in the platform. I expect something similar this time around. Hopefully a couple more of them stick this time.
Probably better here than in other places.

N4G is going to make NeoGAF look like a tea party.
N4G still exists?
When someone asks you how you threw away your account, I hope you answer it's because your feelings were hurt when someone made a joke about Microsoft.
lolGood, but please let it be real games. That is all I ask.

Well..maybe. You say those are joke responses but there's legit concern they'll be kinect focused or possibly xbla games. If they're new AAA games then yeah I'm sure most will be intrigued, including myself. Big new games are never a bad thing.
