Sounds kind of desperate honestly. Would expect declining quality if even if they outsource some of it


NAhh, games dont stay relevent forever.  Maybe its best for em to milk em if they can maintain quality.

I'm sure it will be milked to hell and back, it's easier than creating something original


Why not do both? Doesn't seem that MS is relying only on Halo.

Isn't the series already annual in some form or another?

It is! We've been getting at least one Halo game every year starting 2009! In 2009 we had Halo Wars and Halo 3 ODST, in 2010 we had Reach, in 2011 we had Combat Evolved Anniversary, in 2012 we had Halo 4 and last year we had Halo Spartan Assault!

If they make it annual they are

So you think they will drop other games and new IPs for Halo? This isn't meant serious, right?

I think making Halo an annual franchise shows a lack of confidence in making new IPs frankly.  New IPs are always Microsoft's last resort, they would much rather release Forza, Gears and Halo in endless cycles and pay other people to make their games

Yeah, because nothing changes over time, everything will be like it was... Really, we don't know what MS is up to but saying stuff like you do is just too short-sighed, in my opinion. There will be new IPs for sure, no matter what your opinion about MS was, is and will be. If it turns out you are right, ok, but your view is clearly the general census of all the prejudices MS has in gaming. Not that it isn't justified but this doesn't mean anything for the future.

Halo is an annual franchise... you just don't get a mainline Halo every year and I don't think these career ads mean that they want to change that...

Disagree. It was barely a month ago that a new IP at Black Tusk was cancelled and they started working on another Gears of War.  MS haven't changed.

We will see how it will turn out. Basing on just one example? New IP doesn't mean good IP - see here: http://www.destructoid.com/cancelled-project-at-sony-santa-monica-was-new-open-world-sci-fi-ip-271324.phtml
