New Halo to be announced tomorrow? Achievement page spotted

Console Monster writes: "When Bungie became a privately held independent company, it appeared the Halo series would end with Halo 3. This talk was hushed by the announcement of Halo: ODST which we can expect to hear more of in Microsoft's E3 conference in just less than 24 hours, but there may be more than we expected from Halo at the event.

Kotaku earlier reported that a Halo: Reach forum was spotted on Bungie.net, which led them to believe that it could be a new Halo title, but a discovery made by Console Monster may just have confirmed this rumour..."

I mean, people are trying to pass the upcoming Halo as Halo 4 so that it can make their list of xbox360 exclusives seem longer, lol. So, if this is indeed a new Halo, I'm curious about what it could be, only thing I can come up with is...Lego Halo.

lowcarb5443d ago

It's a different game and offers a fresh new look on it's multiplayer and coop. Let's wait for tomorrow and also just except the fact that ODST will be huge and hailed as an exclusive title.

Freak of Nature5443d ago (Edited 5443d ago )

Warning:........Incoming "megaton"......

Two high quality games are always better than 1.They have a ton of devs,and all have been very busy for quite sometime.It's well known they are working on multiple titles.

I expect alot of noise,real nice news...

iceice1235443d ago

I'm sure that's what it is. We've gotten no info on it since it was announced at X06.

II Necroplasm II5443d ago

That does make sense Icewake.

I think all the next Halo games will be handed to Wingnut Interactive.

Megatron085443d ago

Its nothing more then a scam. They are wanting you to buy/pre order "this game"

Lifendz5442d ago

THANK GOD! The speculation is getting out of control.

MasterChief36245442d ago

It would be odd to have a Halo: Recon, as well as a Halo: Reach, coming out... so having one now as Halo: ODST and one as Halo: Reach looks a lot less weird...

I don't know... just a thought :P

CrazzyMan5442d ago (Edited 5442d ago )

IS not THAT it`s another HALO game,
BUT rather than, M$ is too much focused on THAT franchise,
i mean,
Nintendo consoles are Assosiated with Mario, Zelda, Pokemons....
Sony associated with Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid...,
while Microsoft only with Halo... well, this gen you could add Gears, but that`s it.
x360 need more BIG games, than just Halo. Maybe new IPs. =)

Beast_Master5442d ago

I am SNORING for this annoucement!

FrankenLife5442d ago (Edited 5442d ago )

MS announcing another Halo game is like Nintendo announcing another Mario game. Of course they are making it, what matters is when will it be out.

king dong35442d ago

if they did a game based on the fall of reach, then they could add more spartans into the story.....as there was more around at the time.

i think it could happen this gen aswell, another halo spin-off made by bungie with the same engine, whilst they simultaneously create their new engine for halo4 and all the halo games they that are gonna make next-gen.

i'm sorry sony fans, but everyone that talks about bungie hating microsoft and not going to make another halo game talk out of their ar$e. bungie went indi for one reason: to get a bigger slice of the halo pie! they saw their i.p turn into a series thats nearly earnt a billion $, and quite rightly want a bigger slice of the halo profits.

to think that now they are an indie studio, they're going to turn their back on guaranteed bumper pay days, and make risky i.ps just shows how niave and stupid you are. halo, is and will always be bungies main franchise and focus...it's what they do best. but more importantly for a now indie studio, it's where the big bucks are.

and they know it!!!

aswell, i'm thinking that halo4 will be a launch title or within the launch window of the next xbox..

Sitdown5442d ago

Really? So Project Gotham and Forza don't come to mind? And its getting increasingly harder to just associate MGS and Final Fantasy with Sony...seeing as how MGS has graced other platforms and how Final Fantasy will be on the 360.

Halo:Reach could be a really cool Tactical game. There is a lot of great material for a great story for the Fall of Reach. So I would love to see this game be real. I could see Halo:Reach being some thing like the Ghost Recon games but set in the Halo Universe and that to me would be really awesome.

I've never looked forward to Microsoft's E3 conference as much as I am now. :)

SaberEdge5443d ago

I Know. I am so pumped for E3 this year. Microsoft is going to have an awesome E3 showing. ODST by itself already has me so excited. And then there are all the other games...

siyrobbo5443d ago

i'm looking forward to both MS's and sony's conferences, hope they deliver. Couldn't care less about nintendo's, might ask my gran what they announce, she seem's to be apart of their target audience

Could these bottom screens be what what we'll see on monday?

MS has said on Xbox.com and XBL that they have 3 or 4 HUGE!!! announcements, they made clear this revamped E3 will be epic.

TheRealSpy025443d ago (Edited 5443d ago )

didn't realize there were so many GTs.

what i don't get is why ppl are so gun ho about trashing halo. if you don't like it, great. nobody gives a sh!t. that won't stop it from selling 10 million copies. obviously a few ppl like it. and as long as ppl are enjoying it, and it's selling, i say keep making em. let the overall gaming community decide. not a buncha egocentric fanboys who are too proud to buy a 360 and still obviously jealous because the copy cat console FPSes don't hold a candle.

PS360PCROCKS5443d ago

Plus countless Tekkens, GTA's, MGS etc...lol their is a lot of milking.

HighDefinition5443d ago (Edited 5443d ago )

Milking is when you have games like Halo Kart.

Mario is the most milked series, bar none.

IdleLeeSiuLung5442d ago

yup, and it has done nothing but expanded the experience for many. When I think of milking I think of it as a bad experience just lending the name....

If it is a proper quality release, I see no reason to not re-use an existing and familiar universe. Appeal to current and maybe some fans.

HighDefinition5442d ago

I agree 100000000000000000%

4Sh0w5442d ago

lol, your post about sums up the milking arguement about Halo, besides if you don't like it simply don't buy the next game and let those who want more enjoy it.

Game13a13y5442d ago (Edited 5442d ago )

you know, only popular and profitable games got a sequel treatment time after time. and people keep buying them. if anything, it just shows the popularity of Gran Turismo, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Tekken, Mario, Madden, and games alike.

TheRealSpy025442d ago

we weren't saying they were bad titles. we were saying while the ps3 fanboys like to trash halo and say it's a franchise being milked, they seem to forget just how many of their IPs have, in some cases, over a dozen more sequels and spin offs.

Consoldtobots5442d ago

seems some people have taken the night off and I'm the first one to point out that THE PROBLEM is not milking the Halo franchise. The problem is there are no other franchises to milk. So yeah there may be more Gran Turismos than you can shake a stick at, Sony didn't build its brand on that series alone so it doesn't seem like they are milking it at all, while with MS and the 360 to keep hearing halo halo halo halo over and over again makes you nervous about the consoles future.

Fable?

Not to mention ABP, Alan Wake, Epics anouncement, Rare's games, Lionheads games, Splinter Cell and the rumored E3 titles.

I'm sorry, but I think you're looking for something to pick apart....maybe because you don't have a Xbox 360.

But I'm just guessing.

Halo is here because it's the biggest FPS franchise in the world.

Perfect Dark? - only 1 game on xbox..not a franchise
Banjo and Kazooie? - same here
Mass Effect? - this ill give you seeing its a planned trilogy
Shadowrun? -fasa closed
Star Ocean? -orignally a playstation franchise
Infinite Undiscovery? - not microsoft
Lost Odyssey? - not a franchise
Blue Dragon? - same
Project Gotham Racing? - bizarre is now owned by EA or activision so the PGR you love is gone
Braid? - its on almost every other platform besides psn...
Castle Crashers? - again not microsoft
Crackdown?

Not to mention ABP(not microsoft), Alan Wake(not a franchise), Epics anouncement(im lost), Rare's games(the only rare franchise on xbox right now is viva pinata), Lionheads games(fable is the only franchise), Splinter Cell and the rumored E3 titles.

I'm sorry, but I think you're looking for something to pick apart....maybe because you don't have a Xbox 360.

But I'm just guessing.

Halo is here because it's the biggest FPS franchise in the world.(this is just opinion)

all i have to say is everyone here was talking about franchises and you come here belligerently screaming MIECROSFOT IS KING step away from the keyboard and go make some friends.

cmrbe5442d ago

you people do know that GT have 4 main games in 11 years while Halo has 4 in 8 year right?.

GT5P is just a prolouge of GT5 which is the main game. If MS announce Halo 4 it would mean that they have 5 seperate main Halo games in 8 years. That i my definition of milking.

A new Halo game, FPS, would kill anything $ony has up their sleeve's

God of war 3, uncharted 2, GT5 would ALL be crushed

Gameplay > graphics. Everyone knows Halo deliver's ground breaking, genre defining gameplay

Erratic5443d ago

Umm, all the games in the Gran Turismo series has sold as much or more than the top selling Halo game.

Of course, score wise it'll most likely be really good, as most exclusives try to push and do more than just sell a ton of copies.

But I'd rather take 3 good games than 1, and I think most people would agree with that.

N4PS3G5443d ago

@Erratic

Yeah you mean on ps1 and ps2 ..consoles with 100+ million userbase right?

-MoOkS-5443d ago (Edited 5443d ago )

The only reason GT outsold halo is because of the ps2 userbase compared to the Xbox. If Xbox sold 100 million consoles, halo 1 & 2 would have outsold GT by a mile.

I would rather have 1 GREAT game aka Halo, than 3 average, sloppy, unimaginative, mediocre $ony exclusives.

D2ThaEasy5443d ago (Edited 5443d ago )

I would rather have 10+ triple A titles from Sony then a new Micro$oft milked out Halo:STD the last fight game on the same engine LOL... hahaha you xbots make me laugh at how much you defend Micro$oft when they screw you guys over so many times.

SaberEdge5443d ago

Yep, in terms of sheer FUN, Halo is basically unrivaled in the shooter genre. That is why so many millions of people are still playing it everyday. People (well, PS3 fanboys to be more precise) don't give Halo nearly enough credit.

swiftshot935443d ago

Then why did Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, a demo, sell 3.5 million units on a console base of 14 million? When Gran Turismo 5 is shipped, the base will be larger, and the game won't be conceived as a "demo". Also, the photorealistic graphics unparalleled by any other racing game won't hurt.

Erratic5443d ago

The PSX was released in 1995 and Gran Turismo was released in mid '98 (GT2 in Dec '99). The PSX had been on market for 3 years, about the same time the Xbox is at atm.

And on to the Ps2...
Ps2 was released in '00 and GT3 was released '01. The console had only been on the market for ONE year. It was not until five years on market that it reached 100 million and if it had sold steady that means the amount of consoles sold was about 20 million at the time of the release of GT3.

And wow, you're extremely defensive. I never said anything bad about Halo, a just stated that I'd rather have 3 good games rather than 1 good game. See that? I called Halo a good game, sue me.

Traveler5443d ago

I think the reason people might be disagreeing with you is because you are trying to imply that the 360 doesn't have other good games in its upcoming lineup.

Erratic5443d ago

Ah, well that was because Mooks gave of the impression that one good game (new Halo game) was better than three good games (GoW3, Uncharted 2 and GT5). The 360 has lots of interesting games coming but he seems to think everything depends on one game, just like many Ps3-fanboys do (LBP, Killzone 2). I think GT5 and Halo ODST, and perhaps this new one if there actually is one, will be among the top most sold exclusive games of all on the HD consoles.

The Master Chief5442d ago (Edited 5442d ago )

lol @ people acting as if Sony and their 15 no-name Flop games are even relevant. They aren't.

really duh5442d ago (Edited 5442d ago )

Halo odst, Alan Wake, Forza 3 already kills Sony's offerings hell Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell and Lost Planet 2 does it IMO.

What will finish off Sony with no doubt will be Killer Instinct 3.

KaBaW5442d ago (Edited 5442d ago )

You're comparing a series that has about 17 games to a series with 4 games.. Sad.
Not to mention the Huge userbase of the PS1 & PS2..

Erratic5442d ago

@KaBaW
Well, I don't really count the glorified demos Sony for some reason likes to release for GT. So as I see it it looks like this:

GT: 4 released, 1 on the way for the Ps3, 1 rumored for the Psp = 6

Halo: 4 released, counting in Halo Wars, 1 confirmed (ODST) 1 in the shadows (Peter Jackson's) and now another 1. = 7

I do think Halo will be one of the biggest franchises ever, and just like Sony wants to milk Gt for all it's worth, Ms will milk Halo for all it's worth. Hopefully they'll both use that dough to create more great games, preferably new ips.

what? Halo is coming. Expansion. Enough for xbots to get excited about? For true Playstation fans, we could care less!

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion480d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad480d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90480d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183480d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90480d ago (Edited 480d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde480d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90480d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde479d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator480d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13480d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183480d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken565d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar565d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos564d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP565d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken565d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149565d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE565d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341565d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90565d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos564d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90564d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai564d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
