| Fumanchu said: After everyone bickering about the 1 year head start MS has had over the competition this gen and subsequent lead and developer advantages many of you still predict that they'll let them have another year headstart next gen?? I don't think that would be learning from mistakes. MS is profitable so they don't need to rush it to the market but i believe 2011 sounds right...there were rumours and speculation about this new MS game division they amassed with the MGS4 ASSISTANT producer working on Halo 4 as a launch title so that gives them 3 years. |
Fixed. Hideo Kojima is not working on Halo 4.
Hell, we don't know if there will be a Halo 4. If there is, let's look at the patterns. Halo- 2001. Halo 2- 2005. Halo 3- 2007. Halo 4- 2010. However, we have to take into account:
-If Ryan Payton is working on it, they probably started recently.
-It will be an entirely new development team. They have to familiarise themselves with Halo and, in Payton's case, with the 360.
-This new studio hasn't been announced yet. However, Microsoft is closing Ensemble and somebody needs to replace them.
So if Halo 4 does ever decide to come out, we likely won't see it until 2012. Which seems a reasonable time to release a new console.
A change of developer can have mixed effects. You can get CoD3 or Fallout 3. Which one Halo 4 will be like remains to be seen.
