But it's more accessible! People hate sci fi crap. Look at how poorly Star Wars has done in the box office. People don't get it.

KTallguy said:I don't hate Halo 3. I'm not super interested in it, but I know it will be a good game. Bungie makes good Multiplayer shooters, and since Halo 3 is the last in the series, it'll wrap up all the story points that were unanswered in the previous two games.
Don't put words in my mouth.
I'd argue that I'm pretty damn correct about hardcore people buying games for depth. I'm doubting that the average Halo 2 multiplayer participant spent the time to learn how to exploit crazy jumping bugs and the melee attack into instant firing (sorry I forgot the correct terms).
That being said I'm sure Halo 3 will have accessible gameplay. I'm just arguing that COD4 will appeal more to someone who isn't already a Halo fan and has bought the previous games in the series.
jrricky said:To me, Halo 3 is a little more easy on the eyes with its varied color scheme. COD4 graphics are too realistically messy.
On the Lair review, its kinda weird its getting scores equivalent to movie licensed games.:lol
http://www.langsuyar.com/news/news.htmlMatthias Worch (Factor 5) said:As announced earlier this week, development on Lair has finished and the game is off to duplication! It will be in stores on August 14. I learned a ton of new stuff making this game - and if you pour 2 1/2 years of your life into something, it had better be worth it on some personal level.
I'm aware of the reviews, of course. Some are very positive, some are not. The common complaint in those bad reviews seem to be the controls - putting the dragon streering on the motion-sensitive SIXAXIS controller doesn't sit well with some of the experienced gamers. First of all: try it out yourself, give it a chance!
And if you want my side of the story, I will share a simple anecdote: Victoria's family, lead by my 83-year old grandfather in law, was able to pick up Lair in less than 5 inutes, to fly around with the dragon and to play the first mission of the game.That experience right there beats anything that the reviewers can say. Because let's face it: the hardcore crowd is an important part of the market, and I sincerely hope that everybody who reads my page and/or hangs out on NeoGAF, IGN, 1UP on a daily basis will buy Lair and enjoy it. Your guys' opinions are important, and they matter.
BUT... making a game that my entire (extended) family can play, that's how we will keep the creative flame (and our industry!) alive.
Check the official sources for more information on Lair. I enjoyed the experience and have tons of ideas on what to do next. In other words, I have already moved on to the next project...

Last I heard, Halo 3 had about 5 million pre-orders. What do COD games normally sell?KTallguy said:Anyway, I'm probably wrong, but the thought just crossed my mind, and I wondered if it was possible. True that Gears stomped all over COD3, so probably Halo will stomp all over COD4. It's just interesting to see the power of those respective brands.

LM4sure said:But that was on a console with a much higher user base. I think Halo 2 turned off a lot of people from the Halo franchise. I am one of those people.

Can I get your source?
Not that I don't believe it but hey...you're Tideas.

I'm not sure you want to go this route honestly. Crow isn't all that tasty, even fried.

Speevy said:Halo has never been bigger, and its "fall from grace" as is often reported on message boards is like saying Gran Turismo 4 hurt the series.

So your prediction is the 360 September sales will be only 5% greater than they were in September '06? Or 5% greater than August '07?
