MS: Halo 5, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break dates at E3; new exclusives this year

Once again, MS actually giving people that own its console things to look forward to, whereas Sony continues playing it's game of abject silence thinking its customers don't deserve to know anything about release schedules.

This will be Sony's undoing.

sony's gonna be fine.

*remembers saturday's visit to Best Buy*


...I think they will be fine.
 
Surprised that many people don't think Halo will meet this year.


Anyway, great to have three interesting exclusive titles this year but just not happy with the genre. Including TitanFall, we have three FPS and one third person shooter. Just need a bit more variety.

Halo and Titanfall are FPS. We don't know what Black Tusks game is in regards to player perspective.

I agree minus the undoing (http://www.nowinstock.net/videogaming/consoles/ps4/) and all of the hyperbole you showed on the topic this past week. They have a lot of already announced 2014 titles, but they aren't saying anything about them. Hell, the marketing team won't even let RAD show off The Order gameplay video and SSM is waiting to reveal their new IP. It's annoying not having an idea of when we'll hear more info before E3.

Oh please....an announcement to announce release dates is not something to look forward to, same can be said for Sony's Driveclub as for Halo 5.

We've seen footage/picture updates of Driver, and Infamous Second Son....that is twice as much as MS has shown since releasing their new console.
 
The way he worded it makes it sound like not all of those games will hit the system this year

Could potentially be a fun E3

So basically, your whole rant this past week has been about you wanting announcements of announcement of release dates. Gotcha.

To be fair, those games are (were) slated to hit earlier than the stuff in the OP. The equivalent is something like Titanfall.

lol i think you're being hasty with your "this will be sony's undoing" declaration

they are in a good spot, just because they don't have someone tweeting announcements of announcements it doesn't mean the games aren't coming or that their e3 performance will be lacklustre

most people don't even know a game exist until it is released. Announcing release dates isn't going to sell consoles.
 
Because 1 sub-par Halo game does not mean the series is dead? Especially given that the 1 sub par game was that studio's very first game ever, working with a brand new team.

If 5 is bad then we worry. 4 is a good game technically, it's just a bad Halo game.

I didn't say the series is dead. There's just nothing to look forward to. 343's full of great developers but they should be working on something other than Halo.

Oh you.

On topic, good to know that release dates are coming by E3. But I'm hoping to see more info and videos on those games before that.
 
I've gotta get it down in writing, for my own sake. Gestault's formal list of "If you announce three of these ten titles for XB1, I'll buy the system within two years":

Viva Pinata
Forza Horizon 2
Project Gotham Racing
Crimson Skies Whatever
Alan Wake 2: Lost in New York
Lost Odyssey 2
Crackdown 3
Battletoads/Conker
Mechwarrior/Mech-Assault
Rallisport Challenge

In before "but more than three of those have been released for the (original) XB1"
 
How does anyone expect Halo 5 to release this year if we haven't even seen a screenshot? Halo 4 was teased for well over a year.

Edit: Also you would think 343 would learn their lesson this time and include a beta phase as well.

Because Microsoft said so, and the developers said so.

Also the fact that they've been working on this game before 4 shipped.

That we haven't seen anything is just due to a different marketing approach. They probably want to have a shorter and more intense PR push from E3 to launch in October.

I'm pretty sure we barely saw anything from Halo 4 till March 2012. Just the E3 2011 teaser and a single gif.

Yeah, having a long time to have already been working on it and the formal announcement that it's planned for 2014 are pretty good signs.

they revealed first halo 4 gameplay in spring 2012. an artwork trailer was released in august 2011 i think. the only real halo 5 info we have is the cgi trailer and concept art by sparth.

id bet my account on a spring reveal
 
Looking forward to more sunset overdrive info, the trailer looked quite promising and there has been little to no info about it.
 
If 343 had a beta everybody would have realized what a turd it was and canceled their pre-order.
Yup. And in turn, if Halo 5 truly is a return to the series roots, a beta could help win a lot of people back.
 
I'm super pumped for E3. And I'm giving 343 another chance to win-back a long-time Halo fan. I really hope they pull off something great.

The beta is what you pay $60 for. The full game is what you get when you wait a year and buy it for $20 only to find that there are 10000 people online.

I think their next game could be great. Picking up the Halo franchise and giving it to a different dev team is quite the task so the fact that Halo 4 had as much content and looked as good as it does is a testament to the team at 343. Now given a 2-3 year development on brand new hardware could be something amazing.
