Halo became what it was because of the fact that it was a legitimate first person shooter on consoles. On the PC it would have just been another shooter. If even that. Also, Activision didn't buy Bungie. They are just in a publishing agreement. Kind of like what Sony used to have with thatgamecompany.


Goldeneye was the first legitimate shooter on consoles. Halo was a special game and Steve Jobs knew it. There was nothing as promising in 1999.

My post did not say "first legitimate". It said a legitimate.

And no, 007 was not as legitimate a FPS as Halo was.

007 was legitimate. It was the first major competitive multiplayer shooter on consoles. Halo was the first PC style shooter, which essentially played the same. Goldeneye was the COD on consoles before Halo or COD. It was a quick run n gun with a perk gun  (aka golden gun) duel wielding before Halo and more.

Sony needs to steal the secret formula before its too late!

Sony will get the second game after the first game turns profit and they can afford to make it on both consoles.

Titan fall s gonna be a monster. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

I don't see the appeal really. I can think of a few upcoming games that look better.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Goldeneye was nothing like Halo, Halo had the perfect blend of Semi-Arena style/Vehicular/skill based fps play on a console.

Titanfall 1 will be released on Xbox 360, PC, and Xbox One. The series will gain a huge fanbase if the game is any good. Maybe a 3-5 million fanbase. I'm predicting that a sequal will be Xbox One exclusive so fans of the series will have to buy an Xbox One. Releasing on 3 platforms is just a trick to lure fans to the Xbox One. Mark my words homies. Titanfall could be the next Halo.


It's not going to be the next Halo! Why you may ask? I don't need an X1 to play it!

In fact the best version will be on PC and that's the version I'll get!

Goldeneye didn't need to be like Halo. In terms of popularity and style Goldeneye is closest to COD and had Halo-like popularity while exclusive to Nintendo. He was talking about a legitimate shooter on consoles. If you know your history there were plenty of legitimate shooters on consoles before Halo ever dropped. There were plenty of cooridor shooters on PC before Goldeneye hits console so its not like Rare had nothing to go off of. Quake 2 on the 64 and PSX had arena style multiplayer PC style shooting as well. Of course the N64 was the best console to play the game on though. Also, Unreal Tournament and Timesplitters (from the makers of Goldeneye) was on the PS2 before Halo even came to the Xbox. People love to forget Doom64 and Duke Nukem 64 as well.

Halo Revolutionized the FPS on consoles after Goldeneye popularized FPS on consoles. Halo blended open world/arena-style/LAN party sci-fi shooting combined with vehicular combat. That on consoles was a revolution and evolved console gaming.

And then Halo 2 revolutionized AND popularized online gaming for consoles.

Halo 2 didn't really popularize online gaming on consoles, Project Gotham did. Halo 3 did for shooters on consoles. Its still the highest selling Halo of all time. Once COD:MW came out it put Halo in its place.
