Halo Wars 2? And also on PC?

Now that's awesome!

Only on Windows 10 apparently.

 

[gollumsluvslave]

Halo Wars was fantastic.


First time an RTS worked well on console. And only time really.

Battle for Middle Earth 2 disagrees, but yes Halo Wars was brilliant on 360. RIP Ensemble.

 

[T.O.P]

CA + Halo Wars wll be the shit!

 

[Backfoggen]

All this hate for a load of great games and neat features. What more do you want?

The concern is real

 

[nephilimdj]

More hyped for Halo wars 2 then halo 5 now

I think whole show was pretty damn solid

 

[Naminator]

The conference was a 5/10. Got bumped to a 6.5/10 for Halo Wars 2 IMO.
Cool announcement.

Yeah this conference sucks!

Sony won Gamescom, sorry MS, maybe next year.

 

[Caja 117]

Halo Wars 2???? YESSSSSSSS!

as a Tomb Raider fan, Im disappointed they going to keep copying Uncharted...

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Most awarded line-up? MS pls, I believe it when you say you have good games this holiday, but what kind of argument is this?

Marketing?

 

[Dredd97]

overall not a bad conference for MS and better than a few they've had... the only thing that ruined it for me personally was the e-sports stuff..

 

[GavinGT]

Well, Herzog Zwei kind of.

Thank you for listening!

 

[PayOffWizard]

Was all a bit

 

[Zyae]

Not sure why everyone is going crazy for Halo Wars 2. The first was a very mediocre at best RTS, and the controller is far from the ideal control mechanism.

Hey, I'm glad some people are happy, though!

"not sure why people like things"

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Well I'm sure it was great for Xbox fans. But for somebody with little interest in MS's core franchises (Halo, Forza blah blah) they continue to do nothing to excite me. 5/10.

 

[kulapik]

Damn, Creative Assembly goes from creating the amazing Alien Isolation... to a Halo spinoff RTS. At least they're getting work...

Ding Ding Ding, here's the ignorant comment of the thread!

They have done a LOOOOOT of RTS, it's their speciality, basically.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Sony won't hold a conference?

 

[Welfare]

RUSE says hi.

Oh wait nvm. It did play really well.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

NeoGAF.

 

[Black Mantis]

Great conference! The opening of the Crackdown trailer made me all tingly and the Halo Wars 2 announcement has me hyped as fuck! Good thing they're bringing K+M support to the X1.

 

[Nephtes]

Wait guys... Did they show a new game? Everyone in the thread before said no new games....
Did I miss something? Because seriously I had it good faith from the thread like 7 minutes ago that there wasn't going to be anything new...

 

[biteren]

if i had to grade this id give it a 7/10, lotta stuff i diddnt care about

but Crackdown 3, Scalebound and Halo Wars 2 held it together for me

 

[kadotsu]

The conference would've been ten times better if they doubled the time on QB, Scalebound and Crackdown and cut the middle part out.

 

[Machina]

Only on Windows 10 apparently.

They said Xbox One as well

Halo Wars 2 sounds promising and I would be lying if I said Dark Souls 3 didn't look good but otherwise it was a meh conference

 

[Oriel]

okay Halo wars 2 is the realest shit


Brought to you by SEGA

Sonic, Persona and Miku DLC incoming.

 

[gaming_noob]

Nothing from Rare ???

 

[thehillissilent]

Hey, I'm glad some people are happy, though!

It's coming on PC. That is why, a lot of us are happy.

 

[Effigenius]

If only they showed quantum break and halo wars at e3....

There was absolutely no reason to make another conference....

Nah. Their e3 was really good without those two. Its much smarter to spread this stuff around, keep people hyped and talking about it.

 

[Codiox]

Really glad I'm staying on the ps4. Generic exclusives, no thanks.

But in Sonys corner it doesn't look better :/

 

[Bsigg12]

No

Really glad I'm staying on the ps4. Generic exclusives, no thanks.

lol

 

[Einchy]

Only on Windows 10 apparently.

To be fair, Windows 10 is free and there's really no reason to not upgrade.

 

[MLCodest]

9/10 conference for me.

First half hour was very good with Quantum Break, Crackdown 3, and Scalebound.

Middle dragged a lot but some some good indies. Also the games with gold backwards compatibility was very nice to here.

Halo 5, Forza 6, and Tomb Raider all look pretty great to me.

Then Halo Wars 2 by Creative Assembly to close it out. Megaton for me.

 

[Diprosalic]

Really happy about Halo Wars 2 on PC, but I was really expecting them to announce a MCC port to PC right there.

they can't get it to work on XB1, i doubt they'll port it over just yet.

 

[Tye The Czar]

I may have gone overboard a little bit...

All it needs is this picture:

*crickets*

...in your own head.

 

[Phrozenflame500]

Heheheh

 

[RedNumberFive]

The lack of any big surprises was kind of a bummer.

That Halo 5 console looks pretty neat though.

 

[deadman69]

Halo Wars was fantastic.


First time an RTS worked well on console. And only time really.

finally an rts that will work on pc as well.

 

[ironcreed]

Yeah this conference sucks!

Sony won Gamescom, sorry MS, maybe next year.

LOL

 

[Floex]

Really strong start to the show but again nothing stands out, preaching to the converted.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

What is Wars, the RTS? What did that CG movie have to do with the game?

Yeah, must be real hard to figure that one out.

 

[oti]

ok

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Is the Xbox one the most awarded console ever?

"Most Head-Nods at E3 2015"

 

[kevin1025]

Don't forget, Beyond Eyes comes out today.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

The writing was on the wall! Creative Assembly site under maintenance today haha!

Ding Ding Ding, here's the ignorant comment of the thread!

Hope they don't spread themsevles too think with all these projects though.

 

[Linkhero1]

I'm trying to understand what people expected to be announced that they're so disappointed with the conference. I thought it was great overall. Were people really expecting a surprise Rare game?

 

[Phat Michael]

Really glad I'm staying on the ps4. Generic exclusives, no thanks.

But in Sonys corner it doesn't look better :/

Cheers for the update.

 

[outunderthestars]

Not a bad lineup, but really nothing really for me outside of Crackdown 3.

 

[Floody]

It was an alright conference for me, Quantum Break and Dark Souls 3 looked great, but I can see why Sony decided to skip, and wait until they had a few more things to show.

 

[mrklaw]

is there a windows daily today, or does it start tomorrow? I really hope they run through what the new dashboard will look like

 

[Nephtes]

Well I'm sure it was great for Xbox fans. But for somebody with little interest in MS's core franchises (Halo, Forza blah blah) they continue to do nothing to excite me. 5/10.

Yes, Dark Souls III, Tomb Raider, and Kamiya games totally are MS core stuff... Yup. You got it right there.
