SOURCE: Halo 4 announcement coming at E3

chaosatom - 542 days 10 hours ago

You mentioned 1 new IP. Good job.

Look I don't want to argue with you, but it's pretty obvious sony will take the crown at E3.

Honestly, Microsoft had a better line up last year. Now it's Sony's turn.

You said HALO 4 will be huge? Just like Microsoft said Halo 3 will be end to all gaming?

You're still hugely blinded by Microsoft. The game will sell, but it would be because of the name, not because of the quality of the title. compared to other games that will come out on 2010.

Quality titles are coming to the ps3 and they keep increasing with each year. By 2010, halo4 would have no chance of topping ps3 games.

And Microsoft is announcing Halo 4, not because they want to make the BEST game ever, but because they want to make loads of cash.

Sarcastic Gamer isn't anything official..
But i think it is coming in e3. if it does not.. then till the next game expo.
But its coming.
Microsoft and bungie aren't stupid to drop a franchise, knowing it sells at least 5 millon copies.

Idk about the story..prequel or maybe some new guy istead of Mastercheif? Either way im not buying because i dont have a 360.
Im more of a Sony guy...not a FANBOi!!

Edit: @ lachance
You Think HAlO 4 is e3 biggest anouncement?? HAHAH! *falls on the floor laughing!
LOL...Halo4 Doesnt got shyt on Gears 2, let Alone FinalFantasy 13 And God of war 3.
Twisted Metal For the Ps3?? Anyone?

God of War is a better game than Halo (no doubt about that), but a Halo announcement at E3 (which is likely) will make the fans happy. Personally I don't see what is soo great about Halo, I've played every single one and completed Halo 3 (which IMO is an average game).

Bioshock is the best game I've played on my 360 so far, and Lost Odyssey, and Gears of War (although the story in this was crap).

The game I am most looking forward to seeing (which would be the BIGGEST announcement ever) is the new Team ICO game, we don't even know what it is, but their previous two games were soo awesome that the next one already has a huge hype.

Seems like you are worried based on that post.

You guys always say PS3 games are going to do this and will do that! take it to the other zone.

I can't wait to see if they overhaul Halo 4.

If true will it really be Halo 4 or some other project in the universe we know nothing about or is actually P.J's project that may have changed as a product.

@chaosatom

God of War/FF13 and Halo are uncomparable because they are in different genres.

MS will hype this game but after 2 sequels, i believe fans are getting tired with the game itself for repeating the same gameplay and upsetting endings unless something innovative was introduced into the 4th iteration.

Next generation? I'm sorry but I'll heavily disagree. Halo is more "me to" FPSing with solid online and a few great ideas like video recording, which SHOULD be included in all games I'll admit.

I would, becuase they have finished Solid Snake off. And Kojima never said the universe or franchise was over. He said he wouldn't do another, and that it's Snakes final journey.

And rememeber that Metal gear Solid is hardly comparable to Halo, since some depth is in Metal Gear, and hasn't been shoved out of the development bay every year. It's got heritage.

mintaro - 542 days 10 hours ago

I wouldnt call Final Fantasy milked as almost every Final Fnatasy has had a different story, different characters(for the most part) and different design.

The one game I do considered milked is the Ratchet and Clank franchise. Dont get me wrong most of the games have been fantastic, but putting one on the psp, then porting that to the PS2, and recently annoucning another one, I would rather have them take time off from the series to further work on Resistance 2 or a new IP

MS is trying to suck the Halo teet dry and the reason Xbox fanboys are happy a new Halo is coming out is the same reason they were excited about H3. If this game brings the same innovation H3 brought then I'll consider it a Halo 2 version 3.0

You may be right.

However IMO MS is trying to expand their market, by maximizing on their most successful titles. Can we really blame them for that?

Halo 3 sells 10 million units, and they want to release another one. How dare they. Maybe they should release another Munch's Odyssey instead.

This is how the entertainment industry has been for years.
Is Batman a worse franchise, because of 30 years of milking?

A good ip, is a good ip. When Halo stops selling, MS will take a break, but this franchise has legs.

It's like getting married or having a baby, and not telling anyone about it when you don't market a game.

Maybe Sony should take a few hints from Microsoft, atleast they know how to market a new product and watch it sell effectively.

Halo "3"
MGS "4"

Yes, Halo is really REALLY MILKED OUT IN SEQUELS isn't it? I don't see the problem with another Halo game, they are all a lot of fun, you want another MGS game, another game that will make you cry it's "so good".

personally I agree that this move makes MS look a little... nervous, don't know if I'd call it desperate. but Snipe, why merely trade one install base for another of similar size? so arguing PS3 exclusivity sounds rather silly to me. maybe extending to both our fave consoles, but not just switching to the other. also with 360 being the NA-centric box that it is, and halo being one of the more 'western' series available... well it'd cost more $ to have halo stay exclusive to sony if there were a straight-up switch.

How is MicroSoft "milking" Halo? They've only made three(3) games.. Don't make me point out the biggest games on the PS and tell you how many games they have, for each franchise. Like MGS, they have plenty of games, as Deadman64 said.

Halo overrated? Tell that to the million of fans who play it online EVERY day. Tell that to the millions of people who bought the halo games. Overrated? Clearly it is not. Halo 3 may have been a bit over the edge, but the fact still remains, millions of people bought it, millions of people play it, and millions of people will continue to play it. So, we may have a difference in opinion, but according to me, and the millions of other fans would beg to differ that Halo is overrated..

The Halo franchise is one of the most mundane, average, and prototypical shooters ever presented to the market. Dark Sniper personally believes that Halo's growth as a series has been stunted due to Xbox 360's hardware. PLAYSTATION®3 can provide Bungie the tools necessary to ensure that Halo can be the best product that exceeds expectations.

In 1995, no one would have ever expected Sonic The Hedgehog to appear on a Nintendo or Sony platform. Because Sony are true pioneers in the gaming industry, other companies have no choice but to save face and cater to their fans and develop the best games possible. That of which will only be done on PLAYSTATION®3 because Dark Sniper's foresight shows that Microsoft's console will bite the dust by 2009.
