Could be. My source not knowing this certainly confirms they don't have it atm because if they had he would know


Thanks for the info as usual :)  One day im going to make an article about you :P lol 




       

I think the reason why we don't know yet about a CoD marketing deal is because MS doesn't have it this time and if Sony has it they wait till E3 to have a full blow out with a special console, some exclusive stuff (Sony normally pays for at least something like an exclusive multiplayer map and stuff like that). I don't think that Sony would pay for "one month excluisve DLC" like MS did.

Or nobody will have exclusive marketing, Sony does maybe not want to pay as much as Activision asks for and Activision didn't want to have a new deal with MS (at least not for an understandable price) since PS4 sold so much more so that they think it's not good to never mention the PS4 version in ads.

Who knows, but I am at least pretty sure that MS doesn't have it this time. Phil Spencer said often enough how they will concentrate more on their games so that they will also invest probably more in marketing for Forza, Halo, Fable, Tomb Raider (not their game but 'timed'exclusive) and games in genres they don't have own games for (Fifa as example).

Nah you shouldn't :P. I don't give this information because I want to be in the spotlight, I just like the community here and want to support it a bit. And again, I really don't know that much I'm not ntkrnl 2 or something like that :P



So looking at the amazon charts (haven't done this in a long, long time), but I'm surprised to see that the MCC is still hovering around the top 30s ( was like this a few weeks ago as well), considering all of the issues that plagued its launch.
And wow, the ps4 rank has dropped quite a bit while the two xbox one bundles are gaining some pretty good ground.

And it's quite hilarious how the black ops 3 boxart for ps4 has an "only on playstation" tag on there.

Gears of War HD Remaster/Anniversary Runs at 60fps - Report

The site says it has seen a handful of multiplayer screenshots for the new Gears of War remaster, noting that the Xbox One version features better lighting and improved texture quality. The publication adds that multiplayer runs at 60fps.

This frame rate, which previous Gears of War games were not able to achieve, is the staple of Activision's Call of Duty series. This year's Halo 5: Guardians will also run at 60fps.

In addition, the Gears of War HD Remaster will reportedly feature new cinematics.

 

Another source told Polygon that Splash Damage, the UK-based independent studio behind games likeBrink and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, is handling development on the Gears of War HD remaster. Multiple job postings at the developer reference that the studio is currently working on a "very well known and highly popular AAA title with next gen technology."

So idk how many of you guys are awards of this, but the current head of ONI is actually a Spartan II. Which personally, I find quite fascinating

That doesn't exactly sound like a proper remake ala Halo 1&2 Anniversary. That sounds like your plain old "remaster" job -_-

To be fair though, Halo 1 and 2 were both on the original xbox, pre-HD era pretty much.  Those games pretty much needed complete visual makeovers, while Halo 3 and Halo 4 didn't get it.  So, I guess same situation for Gears 1 remaster.
