What the fuck do they have planned for E3?

We have had Sunset Overdrive gameplay, the cut/Kinect removal thing and now Halo 5: Guardians... All before the big show?

Well, not exactly something to be excited about. Maybe they'll show more at E3?



Person on top is probably Palmer, going after a "rouge" Chief. We might get 2 different story lines like in Halo 2 :)



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

I can only imagine new IPs and gameplay.

Hope it's not loads of TV talk, though. E3 is for the games not the hardware IMO.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I had a feeling it would be a Halo spin off this year, I was hoping it would be Halo Wars 2. With that being said this does look pretty awesome, hopefully it will be better than Halo 4.

Anyhow speculation time: guardianS with two spartans on the cover, so the return of other spartans in the game. I don't think III and IV's would classify as guardians. The other spartan seems like a woman and has the same size as Chief so she is probably a spartan II, Kelly or Linda? Would be nice to have a Halo game including the other Spartan II. Again subnaming them guardians would mean there is a big threat. Forerunners were a threat in Halo 4 but not to the galaxy, only threat to the galaxy is the flood. Return of the flood?

SOME SPOILERS FROM BOOKS AND COMIC AHEAD

I highly doubt that it's not the Master Chief, especially when they call Halo 5 "the next installment in the legendary saga of the Master Chief". And if it were a fellow Spartan II he/she wouldn't be above John. On top of that, I think their physique is exactly the same, and one could interpret this mirror-effect as a refelction of the same person in two different points of time.

Now, whoever the upper Spartan may be: He/she was sent on a mission by ONI. Why? Well look on the left side of the new armor: The ONI-sign. If it were the Master Chief it would "perfectly" allign with the things we know from the comics: Master Chief joined Infinity after the events of Halo 4 and disappeared just as quickly, which is more or less a sign that ONI is involved.

So what mission could our beloved hero be on? A Didact hunt maybe? The comics also tells us that the UNSC blamed the Covenant for the Didact's attack on New Phoenix, plus the Forerunner's body was never found. This hunt could be the plot of the introductory missions, afterwards revealing the real threat (as I cannot imagine it being the Didact): the Precursors, makers of all things including the Flood. 

I think "Guardians" refers to whole humanity; think about it: the Forerunners called themselves guardians of the galaxy, humanity is the "descendant" of the Forerunners (thus the title "Reclaimer") and has to take over the Forerunner's responsibilities. The Precursors had a grudge on the Forerunners, swearing they would destroy every single living thing they (the Precursors) created, including the Forerunners, including the humans. That's how the Forerunners died (the Precursors "are" the Flood), but they were able to temporarily annihilate the Flood and even repopulated the galaxy after activating the Halo rings.

All speculation :D

And guys, call me crazy but after reading this:

"I spoke about a "journey", rather than a destination - and that journey definitely begins in 2014 with a giant leap, rather than one small step."

I can't believe this year's Halo will "only" be a Halo 2 Anniversary Edition. The Halo 5 teaser-artwork indicates that the Chief changes his armor at some point of time, these "introductory missions" I talked about before could be a prequel or at least additional missions in Halo 2 which would explain/tease the events of Halo 5 just like the terminals of the CE Remake had done so with Halo 4.

And by the way, are you Dutch?



Can't believe I missed Halo news -_-
Hope we get a trailer for it at E3 to show us a glimpse.


More importantly, CHIEF IS GETTING ANOTHER MAKEOVER?!?!?!

If you have paid attention to any headlines at all you or Phil Spencer should know they are focusing on games.

Since they seem to be hyping up something releasing this year I guess Ntrknl was right about Halo 2 + Halo 5 Beta + Halo 3 and 4 Ports

Halo 2 Anniversary Addition – 1080p Possible 60fps
Halo 5 Beta Access
Halo real time show (Like Forward Unto Dawn but not the Spielberg stuff) TRUE
Halo 2 Alternative ending
Halo 5 2015 TRUE
Saber and Certain Affinity helping in some way
Crackdown 3 – Release 2016
Cloudgine and Microsoft deal (Codename Nimbus) for Crackdown 3
Forza Horizon 2 – Fall 2014 (September?) 1080p, Open world
White Xbox One coming
Quantum Break Holiday 2014
Same devs as Halo Anniversary for Halo 2, Multiplayer confirmed
Sunset Overdrive – Fall 2014 TRUE
Black Tusk project was called Shangheist
Fable Legends is Summer 2015
First Titanfall DLC 45 days after release, another 120 days after release FALSE
Release dates for Xbox One console FALSE
1TB Console after in November
Sunset Overdrive with fancy custom controller in October
No Fable Anniversary for XB1 TRUE
Two versions of H2A, 'Collectors' with Beta access and Halo series and 'War Collection' with Beta Access + H3 & H4 Ports
Titanfall custom Xbox One TRUE
Platinum Games – Project Nagano – March 2016
Sunset Overdrive weird future (2020?) Plot details TRUE


What's funny is the only "false" leaks were things that could be different due to time and changing circumstances. The only other leaks that might be wrong are the 1TB hardrive and the White Xbox, since MS can't get supply to move that fast, they might cancle those SKU's like the Titanfall one.
