high expectations

high delivery

but no megaton

halo collection is a megaton. 100 maps! all 4 games! 1080 p 60fps! halo 2 multiplayer! but it was leaked..

I'm sorry, but the bar has been set pretty low if I can go to Disc Replay or something, pick up Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo CE Anniversary for $30 total or less and play those games right now. But put them all on one disc and charge $60 and it's a "megaton", leaked or not.

and im seriously doubting you have a 360..



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out

Ps4:110million

Xbox one :75 million( was 65) 

Wii u: 20 milliion

Around the Network

It was a great conference for Xbox fans but that is it basically, the announcements did not really ruin it because we were expecting them anyway..

Would that make his statement less true? Even if he didn't own the 360 you could probably still net yourself that console and a few of those games for less than 60euros asking price now.

err no you couldn't. And certainly not with an unchanged gameplay wise completely updated graphics wise Halo 2, and certainly not with all DLC included.

If Sony had saved the LoU PS4 port reveal for this E3 I am sure you would consider it megaton even though I can go into GameXChange and get the PS3 version for $20.



leaks seem 2 happen every year. Nothing is kept a secrect anymore.



Around the Network

MS needed something that got everyone excited and would leak to the casual users beyond this conference. The difference between MS and Sony's policies last year were a major deal beyond just the E3 audience.

Halo collection, scalebound, crackdown, and phantom dust just didn't get it done, leaks or not.



Also, I think the worst leak was from MS themselves revealing the $399 SKU early. They should have waited till today and announced it "going on sale NOW".

its a megaton because halo 2. halo 2 has its multiplayer servers closed. and its the best one to many. Second upgraded graphics. third it would probably be more than 30$ maybe 40$. 4th it has all the DLC and good luck tryna find halo 4 and halo 3 dlc for less than 30$

So it's a megaton because it's been some games have been uprezzed and you get all the DLC. Like a GOTY edition, right? So, is The Last of US PS4 gonna be a megaton? Or is Halo 2 really that much of a difference maker?

And btw, just for kicks, Halo 3 is $4, Halo 4 is $10, and Halo CE: Anniversary is $10.50. So that's $24.50. Halo 3 DLC is free on Gold, except Mythic, which is $5. Spend $25 for the War Games Map Pass and you get all the Halo 4 DLC. Grand total is about $55. You can spend that right now, and get most of what the Halo collection offers. Therefore, the only "megaton" was Halo 2. And, by Halo standards, Xbox fans didn't really care about old games being remade, with the CE anniversary selling 2.24M. Original Halo sold 5M+ and was a launch game. The anniversary was hyped because it was getting completely remade...but sold much less than a Halo is expected to. Am I really supposed to expect Halo 2 to have that much of an impact? That's the only "new" thing you'd be getting out of this collection.

Yeah this was a big mistake. It will probably really hurt X1 sales in May as well.
