Quantum Break looks very interesting. I hope it's successful.

For Gears, Fighting in the Pendulum Wars would be amazing. Then the final level could be E Day. After that game, BT would be allowed to continue the story how they see fit.

No more Halo games on Steam "at this time" makes me :'(

I think some outsiders are voting on QB just to spite XBO Nation. Although I really want QB to blow up.
I mean Halo is Halo.

You are right Quantum Break will be awesome and spectacular I hope ms advertise it well So that it sells well I think if it sells so that we can see more games like this but at the end of the day Halo is Halo lets hope 343 makes a fantastic multiplayer game and ixes all the problems

Why should that spite anyone? I love Halo as much as anyone, still more hyped for QB

JayWood2010 said: Microsoft shows off the final design of Kinect for Windows v2 The new Kinect for PC is virtually identical to its Xbox One brother.   Microsoft has shown off the final design of its version of the Xbox One Kinect sensor that will function on Windows PCs. Unsurprisingly, it is virtually identical to its console brother--the insides are the same, and two small aesthetic tweaks have seen the Xbox symbol replaced with a power indicator and a Kinect label added to the top.   The device also comes with its own hub and power supply, with the former connecting together the sensor, USB 3.0 output, and power. Microsoft is still yet to formally announced the price and release date of the Kinect for Windows V2, but said "we getting closer and closer to launch" in a blog post. The company has previously said the device will launch before summer 2014.

Great... I have used Kinect for some school projects and it works surprisingly well. I believe K2 has a more sensible sensor and will allow hand and finger tracking. Anyone used a Kinect for any of their project? After I finish my degree I will be going for my Master and I have plenty of use with Kinect. Kinect 2 is a welcome. But it's a shame it's gaming impementation isn't as great as it's "hacking" uses.

I dont think that anybody would be voting for QB out of spite.  Looks like a great game so far :)

Microsoft expecting an "army of huge franchises" at E3

Xbox boss says gamers have a lot to look forward to from this year's industry event; Japanese market is "critical" to the industry overall, he says

Between Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Electronic Arts, and Activision, there will be an "army of huge franchises" to look forward to from this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. That's according to Xbox boss Phil Spencer, who made the comment to GameSpot in an interview from the Game Developers Conference last week discussing the overall health of the AAA business.

So far in 2014 "bad" news has abounded. BioShock creator Irrational Games announced that it is effectively closing down, Sony cut numerous jobs at God of War developer Sony Santa Monica, Thief developer Eidos Montreal laid off 27 people a week after release, and just this week Sony eliminated jobs at multiple UK studios.

"I think at this year's E3 between us and EA and Activision, Sony, and Nintendo, you're going to see another army of huge franchises coming" -- Spencer

Spencer said he doesn't know the specifics of every situation, but maintains that the AAA game business remains a successful enterprise and this will become clear when E3 rolls around this summer.

"I don't think it's a reflection of the vibrancy of the industry," Spencer said, referencing the news discussed above. "If you look at attach rate on the consoles right now, people investing in the great new AAA IP, it's great. I think at this year's E3 between us and EA and Activision, Sony, and Nintendo, you're going to see another army of huge franchises coming."

News about downsizing is more a reflection of the size and scope of AAA games today, Spencer said. As part of the normal development cycle for big-budget games, studios staff up and then shed employees when they are not needed. This not not atypical, he said.

Spencer said no one bats an eye when jobs are cut during the development of major movies because this ebb and flow is standard operating procedure. He told us that over time, he expects video game development to evolve to a point where development practices and procedures become more normalized.

"I think the model for how studios deal with that peak and valley is still evolving," he said.

But like I said, I believe in the success of QB. I think it's gameplay will influence TPS games like Max Payne did.

I believe everybody knows what to expect out of Halo which is why people may be excited to see something they dont know what to expect.  Quantum Break being made by Remedy im sure gets people excited.  And if anybody is going to try and screw with the polls I'd assume they'd vote for Below (indie game) or Kinect Sports Rivals (Kinect Game).

Of course it is only my opinion on it xD  I of course voted for Quantum Break.  Not because i dislike Halo, vice versa actually.  I just know what to expect from it is all.
