How often does Sony release a GT game? Mario is a trademark in a lot of differenct franchises, but how often do those respective franchises see new iterations? It's been about 6 years since the last Mario Kart, 2 since the last 3D Mario Platformer (this is a bit milked too nowadays, it wasn't so much before), 19 years since the last console Yoshi game (not sure if Mario is in this one), etc.

I liked when MS published Halo Wars and tried something different. I wish Halo FPS's weren't almost annual iterations. Halo will do good for the console, but I would like to see another major franchise on the One. Mind you, I wasn't impressed with Sony either, Nintendo was the only one to announce a few major franchises (6 franchises which have sold between 5-30 million units in the past).

I don't quite understand how a saga is different.

Does this mean they'll keep making titles until they feel they're done?

Black tusk comes to mind ;)

I understand that you don't like seeing games from the same franschise every year- I can relate to that - but it is after all a side-story if we go by the talk about the saga. I don't consider ODST and Wars as parts of the main Halo because they are clearly other types of games. As long as I don't see the main story of halo every year then I am cool with it.

I should add that I don't think we will see Halo 5 next year but that is just my guess based on the history timeframes they have had  

2001-2004-2007-2010-2012-2015 The only reason I think they could get out halo 4 in such a small timeframe than every other halo is because it was a new studio(2007) and it had a lot more time to develop it.

LOL. I love that dead franchise.

I just kinda wish they would go with a new story in the Same universe, I mean i love masterchief and all but seriously it is a huge universe that they could do so much with. They made a noble try with ODST but in my eyes that game was crap and I was severely let down, I just want them to expand on the universe and show us what happens on the other ends of the story.

We don't even have a name for the Black Tusk game, and from what it appears to be, it's another shooter. That's equivalent to Nintendo releasing a 2D Mario Platformer one year, and a 2D Yoshi platformer the very next year.

If the next main Halo is 2015, then that's fine. Every 3 years is okay, but I still cosider FPS's like ODST part of Halo, so I don't really want to see "filler" games in between main Halo Games. Wars was legitimately different and appreciated.

Seriously... Chief is better to bring her back... or else... I'll be soooooo sad; I may actually go buy a PS4 and even a Vita to make them PAY!
