Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Halo 4 to revisit series’ roots

VG247

Halo 4 will channel “amazing” aspects of the original game, Microsoft has said.

 

“One of the key things with Halo 4 is going back to what made it amazing for people playing the first Halo,” Microsoft UK’s Stephen McGill told MCV.

“But the people who are 18 years old now were only eight when Halo appeared. They probably didn’t play it. That’s the opportunity the Anniversary pack and then Halo 4 have.”

McGill isn’t concerned by current competitors in a genre arguably popularised on consoles by Halo and Xbox Live.

“It’s different to Gears of War, it’s different to Call of Duty. So it stands alongside them,” he said.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is due in Novermber to mark the franchise’s tenth birthday, while Halo 4 is expected at the end of 2012. Both are Xbox 360 exclusives.

so he doesn't even hint at what aspects they want to bring back? What a tease

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

I hope they have the core functions of the game more like Halo 3 myself.

End of 2012 prediction:

xbox 360 : 73-75 million  playstation 3 : 72-74 million  wii : 104-105 million

Does Halo Reach play like Halo 1? Not at all. It has bits and pieces that are inspired by Halo 1, but still way different!

I'm still convinced Halo 4 will heavily revolve around the Forerunners and quite possibly Mendicate Bias himself.
