Pardon me, it is currently 2.5 years old lol.
OP is specifically referring to Halo:CE? Is that the take?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Yes, there's two different topics, the other one goes into more detail. The Halo that's mentioned in OP is a supposed re-remaster of Combat Evolved in Unreal Engine 5.
There's been absolutely no hints from any insider that it's even a thing under consideration until this news from today. So I don't know honestly if it's even believable or not. The other examples are games that are already out so they're more plausible.

Ok, just saw it. Yeah, it's really hard to believe Playstation is going to get a remaster of Halo 1 and NOT get the current free GAAS game...unless it just gets both, or the CE remake is their attempt at a total reboot for the series including even the multiplayer.
But no way PS gets Halo: CE remake while missing what they intend to be the main MP marketplace

They should release Infinite MP on PlayStation. It plays so good and will boost it's online population. Should release it same day as Concord
Finish the fight John.

The internal civil war at xbox rages on. Facinating.

Old Halo games won't matter much, nor the rest, with exception of doom. Infinite would be a bit bigger of a deal. A new halo game would be a big deal. Losing Doom exclusivity would be a very big deal, might as well do the rest then.
Guess we will see in a few days.

Has anyone noticed, that at every juncture that more Xbox games are announced for Pla..... other platforms, there is always this supporting narrative of how this is all that is planned or that is coming... and the other (likely new) stuff will not be coming.
Then a little later, the new stuff is announced to be coming, along with the usual this is all that is coming talk, and announcement of new stuff that will not be coming.
Or is this pattern only in my head.

Exclusives are critical to consoles and I don’t think PlayStation gamers really want halo it’s not like they don’t have access to Xbox or computers to play it.

It's all in your head. Everything is rumor and hearsay until announced in an official capacity.

I think this is what people don't get. That's not what exclusives are about. It's not about if Playstation gamers want Halo... or any of the stuff MS is bringing. It's that the fact that they are bringing it over to PlayStation, means you do not have to own an Xbox to play them. It means if you were in the market for a console, and your choices were either p[laystation or XCbox, Microsoft is outright giving you a reason to get the PlayStation instead.
Fair enough... doesn't help though that MS seems to be masters at not actually talking straight.
I mean, they had a whole streamed sit down about the future of Xbox a few months ago... and right now people still seem more confused than ever on what is happening or isn't.
That can't be a coincidence... I think it takes some really special skills to talk about a specific topic for 15-30mins... and leave people more confused than they were before anything was said.
And all these rumors every week about this and that coming... all just hearsay huh? Ok...

Yes indeed, yes indeed. Just remember that from this point forward any "Xbox Showcase" is also a PlayStation Showcase, Papa Nutella has decreed it so.

Yeah, between Feb and now, multiple 'insiders' have flip flopped over the state of whether games like Starfield will come to PS or not, one week someone says yes, the next week someone else says there hasn't been any discussion on it internally.

MCC on a disc with all the improvements over my sorry ass Xbox Halo MCC on disc? Count me in so I don’t depend on the digital version or the absolute state in which was launched. MMC on digital? Hard pass.

Maybe, don't make a living off leaking rumours and internal conversation and then try and blame the company that their messaging is getting muddied....
...wtf am I looking at. These people can't be this dumb.

Considering nothing else is announced it's in your head.
I'd say it will be clearer what's coming Sunday, but it probably wont (be clearer)

Notice people want the classics, Halo, Gears, Forza Horizon, Banjo, AOE. No one wants the Phil Spencer Collection.

I've seen people wanting the next Doom, Starfield, Indiana Jones, Forza Horizon 5, etc. Phil has been in charge for 10+ years. Halo, Gears and Forza all came out in those years. Plus, Sea of Thieves is doing great on PS5.

Starfield doesn't need to be 'considered' it in meeting and discussions. They already have the code for it. Originally it was a PS game. They just need to finalize it (if they didn't yet) and release it, and you can be sure that they will sooner or later. It flopped hard on xbox, and it was even a free game. Xbox divsion can milk money from microsoft but still need to milk money from consumers lol

Ya I'm not sure in any sort of initial development means much, I mean the architecture is so similar and it's a closed format, take like 2 days to get a (poorly optimized) build up and running on ps5 if you have a pc build already......
Still, often where there is smoke there is fire.

The only real surprise would be Halo. If a remaster of an old game, not even that much of a surprise.
I expect all the Bethesda/Id ganes to be multiplat after a year or so of exclusivity.

I was thinking about this and Halo on Playstation is not really a big deal (besides to fanboys), but lets look at the facts:
1) Halo was THE game for Xbox back in the day, however since Bungie left the importance of Halo to Xbox has been waning.
2) Halo sales on Xbox are now bound to be pretty non-existent.
3) The impact for Infinite to the overall "war" with Playstation barely moved the needle and was no doubt seen as a disappointment.
As such, given the Halo series is now seen as a game which has had its day, why not eek a little more revenue out of it and sell on Playstation. If sales are positive then this money can be used to put money into other new franchises which could be exclusive (PC included) for the time being. If not then aside for some people warring on each side and a bit of press at the time, it won't mean that much.
I'd say go for it and see what happens. So long as they keep investing money into new games I have no issue.

Why would Doom be a big deal? Doom currently is and has always been multiplatform. I don't think anybody expected the new Doom to be Xbox and PC only. I'd even expect a port on the new Nintendo console.

Gonna be a pretty interesting show. I'd bet that with Call of Duty being bolted to it, the views will be stellar but with all the playstation guys salivating at the thought of being able to post "it's Joever" for the 19th time that day, it'll likely eclipse every other show in terms of viewers.

They need to pump those Halo player numbers some how. Hopefully it'll help.

It's almost like there was a big lie permeating the whole conversation around Xbox for the last few years. A tax if you will.
