that would be so stupid for M$ to do. But considering how stupid are the things they are doing lately it would not be surprising.

I bet it will just be a CGI teaser; and they will say it is real-time.


Really? This is what you are able to put out when you think of Halo 5? This is one of the bad posts... Why would it be stupid? Ah yes, because MS does stupid things by now and $ony doesn't? Well, that's a good argument.

And I think after Sony's render-target-disaster everybody in the industry knows that cgi-teasers aren't the best way to show games. Btw, do you remember when MS showed a Halo as cgi which had nothing to do with the game?

It is stupid, because it is too soon.   It is a flagship franchise that actually 1requires 2-3 years in order to be done properly; and even more considering they are going nextgen.   And also, it is too obvious for M$ to do this; 2considering how this gen went regarding M$ (sequels, sequels, sequels and more sequels)   3 people, gamers, media want new experiences at this E3.   If they do it it will be received very baldy.

1- Tell me a Halo game that wasn't done properly.

2- There is no game that keeps on coming fresh like Halo every iteration for short periods of time(2-3). No other game has more people camping outside for midnight release. You Sony fans talk like your company doesn't milk their cows. Look at this skinny cow I brought from Somalia:

Since 2005 except 06 Sony been draining this poor cow non-stop.  And Halo is being milked?

3- I'm tired of this fallacy. People want good games, new experiences do no mean better experiences. Lets say Sony varies their 1st party releases better, but how is the reception of the games from you guys? POOR,POOR,POOR. The only game to succeed in today's market is Uncharted. The rest go quickly under the radar after release.

Four of those games are bundles and not actually new games, so it's not really "milking" the franchise in the long run so more of it as pushing the pre-existing games and offering them at lower pricer-points. Two of those games are mobile games, and four main games in an eight year time span I admit is  alot, but honestly Halo comes out every year. 

 

What? Gran Turismo goes under the radar after release? Little Big Planet has nice legs, and so does God Of War. Other than Halo, Gears, and Forza you can say the same thing about Microsoft, so I don't see how you could defend one company who has less IP's with legs than the other, while saying the other has less IPs with legs, and that's simply not true. That's fact, not opinion. 

 

Also you're really being one dimensional, do you know that alot of games are popular outside of the US? For instance, One Piece Pirate Warriors, another Playstation Exclusive is very popular in Japan and has nice legs, and since when did sales = quality in the first place? Sales doesn't equate to quality, mass appeal does, there's a ton of extremely polished and amazing games that don't sell much because the lack of mass appeal, doesn't mean they aren't better than "popular" games. 

 

Anyways, I'd rather see 343 take on a new IP rather than making a new Halo. Also I'm confused as to why Microsoft want to make the "next" Halo when Halo still sells very well and now comes out yearly, seems kinda dissapointing when you consider that they're going for yet another huge budgeted FPS exclusive.
