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.

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.

Ummm...yes, you could. Considering I personally shop at Disc Replay, so I know their prices, and I even did a run down of the numbers in my response to kinising. You can get those 3 games for $30.

You can get Halo CE Anniversary, Halo 3 + all DLC, and Halo 4 + all DLC for $55, right now. Is a revamp of Halo 2 really worth all this excitement? It's the only thing missing when you crunch the numbers. Nobody cared about the Halo 1 revamp.

edit: and, no I wouldn't consider TLOU PS4 a megaton, considering I still have TLOU on my shelf right now. I didn't care for it when it was announced anyway, I have yet to pre-order it, nor do I intend to buy it. And I even, sarcastically, asked kinisking that since the PS4 version is basically an uprezzed GOTY version, "is that a megaton?". Just like KH 1.5/2.5 HD Remix, MGS Collection, Sly Collection, etc. aren't megatons to me, TOLU PS4 isn't a big deal to me.  Especially when these games are in recent memory. Remaster/remake a Genesis/SNES era game with the power of XBone or PS4 and I'd be impressed.

even without leak the conference is expected


crackdown, phantom dust, and scale bound were no where near expected

I herd about Phantom dust a month ago, I also knew about scale bound.... Crackdown was probably the only one.. but I never liked the series so I could not give a rats ass about it.

and im seriously doubting you have a 360..

I don't have one anymore, because I sold it. But I did have one. My profile is still viewable. VC Nocks.

But that doesn't make my statement any less true, whether I have a 360 or not



It was decent but the leaks didn't help pretty much knew about all the games they showed already except for Phantom Dust and the Platinum Games title.

Here in Europe, we are really missing something. We just don't understand how you guys can be so passionate about Halo. I mean 80% of sales on this game = NA. Good licence definitely but how can you call  a collection you've played thousand hours on your Xbox a "megaton". Halo 5 (gameplay) would have been a megaton, but a collection srsly ? 

1080 and 60fps ? Our cultures are really different, marketing doesn't work the same way in NA and EU, bigger is better doesn't work here...

But well I guess we are both passionate, and we have both a good knowledge of video games and some hints about how graphics work. So I can't imagine how a passionate can enjoy this kind of announcement. 1080p (even 4k if you want) or 60 fps (let's go for a full 120 fps mode) is absolutely POINTLESS in this case. 1080p 60 fps on games which were released early/mid in 2000, the only word which came in my mind is "lol ?"  

It's interesting for Halo 4 et 3 but for Halo 2 et 1 ? Who are you kidding Microsoft .? 

Nintendo should release a 4k120fps version of Super Mario World, it seems like FPS / Resolution...became magic words

I didn't hear so much about the leaks I just knew about the Forza game, but i'm still disappointed not too many games that make you say "hey i've got to buy an XBONE now".

lol @ bold. Idk what you want as a response other than thanks for proving me right?

you: LOL i can get that for $30 in my local used shop
me: nu uh
you: yeah i can see! only $55 LOL.

Of course, that $55 doesn't include what most people are excited about, which is the Halo 2 package. But please, do try to shift the goal posts again and let us know what GameReplay or whatever shithole establishment that was charges for a next gen version of Halo 2 that you can actually play online since OG XBL is offline. Go ahead, feel free to reply when you get a quote.

As for LoU, many people here do consider it a megaton. Strangely, I don't remember you in there pooing in their cereal about "lowered standards" or anything. So LoU PS4 isn't a megaton to you. Cool. Me either. Nor is the Halo Collection, though I will buy it day one. But it's entirely understandable why many would claim it to be. Halo 2 MP is that good to some people.



I think it suffered from what a lot of E3 conferences do nowadays, and that's show several games that you already revealed at the last E3. It's a running joke between my friends now that we can't wait for a game to be announced at E3 so we can see gameplay footage of it in the subsequent E3.

So we had Sunset Overdrive and Project spark Last E3 so we got to see them again this EA obviously. And we got some nice Tomb Raider, Crackdown and Scalebound this E3, so.... looking forward to them next E3 lol XD

E3 is basically a giant double-dip these days.

its not just frame rate and resolution. The actual graphics are enhanced. look up gameplay. THAT isnt just 1080p version of halo 2. its remade. and strange hearing that seeing as how ps4 is dominating because of key words like 1080p
