i would like to see one along with something to compete with gears

KZ was supposed to be playstations halo and many compared uncharted DF to gears but neither came close to the amount of features that halo and gears have

and in the gaming world or atleast in my eyes as far as exclusives go on consoles so far theres no other FPS or TPS that can compete with them on the other consoles and the reviews and sales show this

you mean Uncharted Golden Abbys the portable game? yeah i didnt included that one because there is no Portable TR, also the other game you talk about is Uncharted Fight for Fortune? yeah i didnt mention it because i didnt even knew it existed and guess what? it wasnt made by ND! it was made by Sony Bend studios...

"their fans treat everything ND makes as a masterpiece that shouldn't be criticized. And some of them disregard similar good games just because they're not made by ND. That's just sad."

Prove it, i want to see comments of people saying: "i wont play this because its not made by ND!"

The one guy I quoted for instance. The new Tomb Raider is a very good game. You'd think that he'd like it if he's such an Uncharted fan. Instead he decided to insult it. 

did the guy said he wouldnt play it or that its a bad game because its not made by ND? no he didnt, you are saying that people wont play some games because they are not made by ND, so show me those people, i wanna laugh at those dumb comments

I don't see the point of even trying to make a halo-like game. I believe that halo and it's clones are on the decline. More realistic FPS's are lasting much longer and bringing more money.

You say this in the year that COD: AW and Destiny released? Lol!


What's so funny? Is halo selling as well?

Halo 4 sold 9.3 mill.

Anything wrong with those numbers? 

Just admit your post made no sense.

Who's the one that doesn't make sense. COD is doing well and it's on both consoles while halo is only xbox. People are losing interest in halo. Isn't the majority buying a console that doesn't have halo. It's on the decline.

Im not sure we need one. Seems to me that the only reason some people like halo so much is because it allowed a genre previously not doable on console to be played on them. It didnt really do anything else that pc equivilants hadnt done before except for what. Regen health which is just too much now. I get why console owners enjoy it now but the franchise has seen less innovation than cod after mw1. I would rather get a return to ww2. Give me a karabiner 98k any day over future weapons

How are people losing interest in Halo if the chart you're showing shows that the most recent entry, Master Chief Collection aside, gets the 3rd spot of total Halo sales, and possibly the second one if we get digital into account?

Killzone is hit or miss with every iteration. 

Gears is really overplayed. Cover system was cool in 2006 but today without anything else on the table for gears,  the terrible one dimensional characters and writing really ruins the games.  It started getting bad at 2... Horde mode never gets old though,  ill give it that,  but then again.  So many other games has that now with a better overall package to boot.

Terrible writing? Gears of War overall story is better than Halo 1 to 3 combined.

Does Tomb Raider being on PS change anything for XBOX owners? I think not. Do you enjoy a game less because it's on another console? That's silly... 

You're not listening very well. I said XBOX owners do have a game like Uncharted. Nothing more, nothing less. 

why that attitude? im just asking a simple question... no need to call me silly for something tha you are ASSUMING, there are people here saying that PS already has a ton of other shooter (COD, DESTINY, BF, FARCRY etc) yet the other people say those games dont count since they are on Xbox as well and we are talking about exclusives... so that means (by that same logic) that TR wont count if its a Multiplat... since then PS owners arent missing on it, just like X1 owners arent missing on all the other FPS i mentioned.

The differences between Halo and the other shooters are bigger than between Uncharted and Tomb Raider. 

And especially saleswise, the PS doesn't have that killer FPS exclusive that XBOX has. On the other hand, XBOX doesn't have that killer hack & slash exclusive that the Wii U and PS do have. And in the future, also in the fighting genre (Street Fighter IV). 

The differences between Halo and the other shooters are bigger than between Uncharted and Tomb Raider.

ah so therefore Uncharted doesnt count but Halo does? ok i can see were this is going...  you do realize there is a ton of other great shooters out there, (with ratings pretty close to those of Halo) the fact that you like Halo more doesnt discredit those games,

also if the difference you are talking about is the setting, i dont see why Halo being a space shooter gives it more credit as a shooter than the rest of the games...

And especially saleswise

why do sales matter here?, what is sales now more important than quality?

also in the fighting genre (Street Fighter IV).

you mean V right? well IV is also going to PS4 so you are right either way...

You have to compare halo to other games especially FPS. MCC is only ranked number 9 in sales on the xbone while other FPS's are ranked higher. FPS in general is popular but halo is not a must have. The franchise itself is losing steam compared to it's fellow FPS. So why bother with a port to PS4? If halo is important to someone, they'll just buy a xbone. Which is apparently not many.
