it is almost like a remake of the first game , Halo CE...im curious to see what they ill bring with this game.....the only Halo i liked and consider classic is og Halo CE on Xbox , everything else after was inferior in a lot of ways

neowharton1387d ago

For sure I agree. It's almost like a direct remake of the CE box art. It's interesting that the grapple hook has now been confirmed with this new image though.

@Marquinho
They forgot to add:
"The killer app for the Xbox Series X"

Marquinho1386d ago

Indeed. Tomorrow's gonna by a big day for gaming =)

It's giving me Reboot vibes.
What if its a reboot?

Ausbo1386d ago

It’s not. They said already that it’s basically halo 6

FlavorLav011386d ago (Edited 1386d ago )

I said this yesterday and got jumped for it. I’m excited for it either way, but I didn’t care for Cortana as the Big Bad in the last game. Hoping for something fresh this go round, but with chief and cortana on the same side.

DaDrunkenJester1386d ago

They have said it's a spiritual reboot. It will still continue the story, but bring back more of the level design and feelings from the original.

thebobbywhite26291386d ago

If you didnt like halo 3... you just got poor taste my man <3

nommers1385d ago

I wouldn’t mind if it was a remake of the first Halo tbh. Probably would be overall better than what they have planned. They should have kept that air of mystery in the first one.

-Foxtrot1386d ago

That's like a modern image of the first games cover, it's fantastic.

I wonder if they are going to try and bring it back to what it was originally like, but after the ending of Halo 5 Guardians I wonder how they'll sweep things under the rug to try and tell a new story.

I just want to see Chief and Cortana working together again, whether it's because she's cured or because she's forced to work with him until they "fix her" in the end.

Chief is better when he's on his own, and not having to carry around a squad with him. I just hope co-op players will go back to a drop in / drop out random Spartan like in the old games.

Story continues...on a new Halo ring.

Looks like a remake and the gfx on the box art is last gen... looks average at best.

slate911386d ago

Quite a bit of digging online going on from the cover art. Looks like there is a brute reflection in his visor and also what looks to be a grappling hook (or some device) on his left forearm.

SyntheticForm1386d ago

Definitely has the classic Halo vibe.

Very CE like. I like it.

Desperate Xbox players turn to Halo Forge for their Helldivers 2 fix

PS5-exclusive Helldivers 2 is so popular that Xbox players want a taste of democracy, and now Halo Forge will be the battleground for a Helldivers 2 remake.

XiNatsuDragnel76d ago

That's wild but hey if forge satisfies than that's good

GamerRN74d ago

Also.... Desperate Xbox players? I mean Helldivers2 looks ok, but I wouldn't call it anything to get desperate over..

God of War and the other exclusive are more worth desperation. I don't think I'm gonna even try Helldivers2, in still trying to beat Forbidden West, and I still of Ghosts, Ragnarok and TLOU2 to play

Old McGroin74d ago

Helldivers 2 is a phenomenally good game. You should definitely check it out if you get the chance. Looks like the devs have the server capacity issue pretty much sewn up now so it's a good time to jump in.

WolfSeed74d ago

You clearly haven't tried it. It's pure crack.

MrNinosan74d ago

I thought exactly like you, until I tried Helldivers 2... and then I was hooked.
The only thing that will stop me from playing it going forward is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth next week.

1Victor74d ago

@gamer: “Also.... Desperate Xbox players? I mean Helldivers2 looks ok”

Lest be honest for a minute even Phil want it on Xbox and if it wasn’t desperation the forge player wouldn’t be trying to copy it 🤷🏿

Barlos74d ago

Nobody is desperate over a game. Its pure clickbait.

TwoPicklesGood74d ago

I enjoy Helldivers 2 but it isn’t phenomenal or anything, its just a good game. Sure us ps5 players don’t have many multiplayer games so maybe that skews perspective. What we should be worrying about Is all the bugs and issues that STILL plague the game. It shouldn’t have been released in this state.

Helldivers 2 graphically makes halo on series x look 2 gen behind.

Rdeal74d ago

Are you saying Helldivers 2 graphics are better than Halo's? if so you need glasses , graphics has to be the worst part of Helldivers 2, I have seen better on the PS4

Hypertension14074d ago (Edited 74d ago )

@Rdeal

It's not the best looking game around
but the graphics definitely look better than halo infinite. The destruction on display while also maintaining a steady performance is also very impressive.

I've also seen better on PS4, but I say the same for almost every Xbox Series X game this generation.

Kiryu199274d ago

Why desperate Xbox fans? Why are we so split as a gaming community? So gamers wanting to play awesome games are not labeled desperate?

I don't think it's really unusual.

LittleBigPlanet allowed for that.

Just get a PS5 and be done with it. Four Xbox exclusives are making their way over with more to follow down the road.

When is Halo Infinite coming?

Hellblade 2 coming?

Soon enough.

Neither of those are worth an entire console so who cares?

Probably within a year, but don't worry. They will still be available on the box of your choice, except if Switch is your choice.

Or just play it on your PC...

Why get either console? All are coming to pc anyway

Shane Kim74d ago

If it wasn't for the initial cost, then I would never get a console.

Honestly pc is great but I love the convenience of a console

OptimusDK74d ago

You couldn’t help yourself right Jin

Jin_Sakai73d ago

I just couldn’t help but tell the reality of the situation.

goldwyncq74d ago

Or just get a PC because all Xbox and PS games are coming to it sooner or later. Nintendo's the only company practicing true exclusivity nowadays.

Tedakin74d ago

Sony's present said first party games will be on pc and other platforms too. So what? And before you say he just meant "pc and playstation" that was debunked. Day 1 pc is definitely coming from Sony, ending your precious exclusives.

Neonridr75d ago

I remember the good old days of Halo 3 and the Forge. Some wild game games came from it.

RaidenBlack75d ago

Just let Coalition develop or at least assist in developing the next Halo ... 343 alone is not enough

Jin_Sakai75d ago

They already assisted with development.

“Gears of War studio The Coalition helped out with Halo Infinite”

https://www.vg247.com/gears...

RaidenBlack74d ago

Then lead the next Halo development with 343 assisting instead ... as well as leverage some of the other new acquired studios if possible

neomahi73d ago

That would be smart, but makes too much sense. BUT, The Coalition is pretty much dead, without Rod Ferguson, there's nothing there. That was the point of that team was that he was heading it up but even Rod Ferguson turned down being the boss and head of his own studio making Microsoft money to go to Blizzard, and isn't it ironic, look where's he's at now. Cliff Blezinski offered to go back to work on Gears and Xbox (one of their biggest IPs) shut him down and told him no. Gears put Xbox on the map, and they told him no. Sony wouldn't tell David Jaffe no if he asked to return to God of War or Twisted Metal, Jaffe is just to lazy, but Xbox shut down Blezinski, completely shocked me.

So, you're right, kinda, but that blood isn't there anymore, the soul of that team is gone so I don't think you'd get the quality you think that you would

Jin_Sakai73d ago

“Then lead the next Halo development with 343 assisting instead ... as well as leverage some of the other new acquired studios if possible“

Certain Affinity would be good but who knows what’s happening there. And I’d suggest keeping CoD studios away from the franchise unless you want Halo of Duty.

Halo Infinite forge is a million times better. maps don't even look like forge made but look like actual dev created maps now

Neonridr74d ago

oh I bet, I just have fond memories of all the different things people came up with. I can only imagine what it's like now.

PhillyDonJawn74d ago

Hell yeah I remember the forge map toilet 😂 good times. Poo and paper everywhere

Blad3runner0075d ago

Don't get this mentality. Nothing is stopping these people from buying a PS5

I don't get fanboyism and refusing to purchase a competitors console.

purple10175d ago

I didn't used to get it, when is was Sega vs Nintendo, but now companies charging for online play, I dont wan to pay 2 separate subs, so you make a choice. also if you were to say invest in extra controllers for mates or whatever, I suppose it all adds up

anast75d ago

So, PS5 is the choice, right?

PhillyDonJawn75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

You're thinking too much into it. Forge creators make anything and everything. This is nothing new. Call of duty and other games have been made in halo forge as well. I was just playing Nuketown and hot potato 2 weeks ago lol (hot potato fun asf btw)

PaleMoonDeath75d ago

Not everyone can afford it mate, some have kids, families etc to support. Very close minded statement, adults don't necessarily care which machine, but money's tight nowadays, bring them Helldivers so we can get the damn Halo & Gears armour on PS5 lol

EvertonFC75d ago

I wanna see helgeist, scorpions, crimera, flying sting rays even some knack enemies etc

EvertonFC73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Agreed fella, same can be said for the playstation lot too though lol. We would all be over a gears collection, halo collection, Forza and ori

DivineHand12574d ago

I hope all the persons who agreed with you have an Xbox. Being a multi-console owner is the best thing for a gamer. When Palworld came out I could boot up the Xbox and play it there. I also just started playing Helldivers 2 yesterday and I am having a great time with it.

The gunplay is good so persons who are on the fence for this reason, don't be. The gunplay in this can go up against Halo, Destiny, The Division 2 etc. The gameplay loop is also good with a reasonable progression system. It doesn't have any RPG mechanics so don't expect to see numbers popping up when you shoot an enemy. Progression in this game allows you to unlock cosmetics, weapons and air drops from orbit to aid you on your mission.

HA! All the while Xbox games are popping up in PS stores. To be honest, on day exclusivity will probably be gone and each will just provide a streaming service bundle, but why not have fun while we can.

crazyCoconuts75d ago

And to get you to pick one streaming service over another they would have....

anast74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

You do know how to ask direct questions, right? This is a serious question.

They would have different app features, different UI's, timed exclusivity, and different video game series (live action and animation). Also the streaming services would be tied to mobile phones of choice (Sony vs MS; maybe even Nintendo will get in on this, phone thing.) which have their own reasons for purchasing.

Of course this is in the distant future. They don't call me the Oracle for no reason.

crazyCoconuts74d ago

Exclusives... The answer was exclusives.
But, you being the Oracle you already knew that, didn't you?

anast74d ago

"one day exclusivity will probably be gone"

Yes. I am the Oracle. When this happens you can say I am right.
